Thanks for the quick response. I think there may have been a routing mix-up — I’m not reporting another member or content. I’m the account owner trying to recover access to my own LinkedIn account, which was placed under a temporary restriction earlier today on suspicion of unauthorized access.

[Max Votek @demarco]

@LinkedInHelp could you help me get back in? Account flagged for suspected unauthorized access, ID verified through Persona ~4 hours ago. I rely on LI for work and I would appreciate a status check whenever someone’s available.

Sat for a robot portrait today. It studied my face with the intensity of a senior engineer reviewing a pull request for a second - then spent another 40 seconds drawing me like I owe it money.

No filter. No Photoshop. Just a mechanical pencil with zero emotional attachment to my feelings.

10/10 would let a machine judge my bone structure again

Machines didn’t replace us. We did it ourselves, one like at a time

This is massive.

Salesforce is basically saying the future user of enterprise software is not a human, it’s an AI agent.

If that’s true, UI stops being the moat.

Headless 360 is not just a product launch.
It’s a signal that enterprise software is shifting from screens humans click to infrastructure agents operate.

That’s a far bigger change than most people realize.

[Marc Benioff @Benioff]

Welcome Salesforce Headless 360: No Browser Required! Our API is the UI. Entire Salesforce & Agentforce & Slack platforms are now exposed as APIs, MCP, & CLI. All AI agents can access data, workflows, and tasks directly in Slack, Voice, or anywhere else with Salesforce Headless 360. Faster builds, agentic everything. 🚀

Jensen Huang said coding is a solved problem. I run an enterprise tech company. He's right — and everyone's drawing the wrong conclusion.

AI agents write production Salesforce Apex, SAP ABAP, Java. In hours, not weeks. But every line still ships under a human's name.

Why? Agents don't know WHY that SAP transaction exists. They can't judge if the solution solves the actual business problem. They have no idea what breaks downstream.

In pharma, a wrong mapping = compliance violation. In CPG, a misconfigured flow = lost revenue. No agent signs off on that.

Developers who write code? Abundant. People who set direction, judge the output, and own what ships? Scarce and getting scarcer.

Code is a commodity. The people who wield it wisely are not.

516 hours. $66,400. 4 months. 5 people.

That's what a traditional team would need to build my CRM.

Did it in 20 hours with Claude Code on OpenClaw. $200/month.

Replaced HubSpot + Monday + Notion + Zapier. 47 features. 13 AI tools. Vector knowledge base. LinkedIn enrichment. Telegram bot interface.

Not a prototype. A production system I use every day.

Pings me about contacts I haven't spoken to in 90 days. Suggests who to meet before I fly to a conference. Auto-enriches LinkedIn profiles into structured data.

Integrated with voice recordings, email, and my full knowledge base.

Knows my entire professional context because everything lives in one system, not scattered across 4 apps that don't talk to each other.

No SaaS product does this. They're built for everyone. Optimized for no one.

The SaaS moat was always distribution + switching costs + "good enough."

Claude Code attacks all three. One subscription instead of a procurement process. Your code instead of someone's proprietary database. A system shaped around your workflow, not theirs.

Solo lawyers replacing Clio + Notion with a custom AI legal assistant. Small agencies dropping Monday for a system that thinks the way they work. Consultants building a CRM and a second brain in one tool.

These people don't have IT departments. They have a credit card and a problem. $200/month to replace $2,000/month in SaaS is a no-brainer - especially when the replacement is smarter.

The $50B SMB SaaS market just got a new competitor. It's not a startup. It's the customer.

The biggest software bet Jensen Huang has ever made: NemoClaw.

He called OpenClaw "the most popular open source project in human history." NVIDIA just made it enterprise-ready.

Jensen has 50+ direct reports. He personally approves junior engineer offers that go $1 over the standard band. One word email: "approved."

His obsession: "Speed of Light" — everything benchmarked against the theoretical max of the hardware. Not competitors. Physics.

Every decision is lightning fast. Hundreds of millions approved in hours, not quarters.

Headcount? Technically limited. Practically unlimited. The only real constraint is the hiring bar — harder than Google, Amazon, or Microsoft.

Engineers make every decision. HR just records them.

NemoClaw is the logical next move: one team, one stack, AI agents on your own hardware. No dependency on someone else's cloud.

Jensen compared it to Windows for a reason. Windows gave everyone access to a computer. NemoClaw gives every enterprise access to AI agents.

Knowing how this company operates — I wouldn't bet against it.

@sergeonsamui Wow!

🥊 Built an AI boxing analyst while driving to the gym.

Voice-dictated a task to Claude Code: study boxing books, find video analysis tools, overlay on fight footage.

By the time I parked, it had downloaded a fight, mapped punches & movement, and reassembled the video with full analysis.

No code. Just a car ride.

The SSD survived. The mini PC did not. Back to building. 🔧 (2/2)

[Max Votek @demarco]

My Magace mini PC burned last night. 32GB RAM, NVMe SSD, running AI agents 24/7.

Had to crack it open and extract the SSD to recover files.

Lesson: if you're running local AI infra — back up your drives. RAID or cloud sync. Not "I'll do it tomorrow." (1/2)

We’re hiring a Salesforce Enterprise Architect at Customertimes.

Not a “just implement the spec” role. You’ll own the full journey:
• client discovery & presales
• enterprise architecture & roadmaps
• hands-on Salesforce design
• governance across complex programs

Ideal: Salesforce Architect certs + industry experience.

Remote: USA, Canada, Poland, Brazil

Know someone great? Tag them or DM me. 👋

[Max Votek @demarco]

Set up OpenClaw in Docker on a Linux box. Wired it into Telegram. Fed it my channel content so the agent could learn my writing style. Ran local TTS instead of ElevenLabs — quality surprised me.

What I built isn't a chatbot. It's closer to an operating system for agents.

Thank you @Tesla for an absolutely seamless and amazing customer experience while ordering my Model X! 🚀
From the online configurator to delivery scheduling, everything was smooth, transparent, and actually enjoyable.
@elonmusk & team, you’ve set a new standard. Grateful and beyond excited! ⚡️

@nickgerli1 This is not the only way to look at it. The number of listings is correct, but look at new construction, over 300k new homes built in Florida in the past 2 y, and less than 100k in the entire Midwest and that is with Midwest having 2.5x the population

[Serge Bulaev @sergeonsamui]

While GLP-1s help preserve human memories from one side, we in AI are working on enhancing and storing them from another! From digital memory banks to emotional RAG systems, we're creating tools to help humans remember more and better. Together, medicine and tech are revolutionizing how we protect our memories
