Last 2 months we ran our first 5 AI Automation Agency Bootcamps.

7 days. In-person. SF Mission District.

Here's who showed up — and what they walked out with:

→ A founder flew in from Brazil. Sold his first AI automation project before the bootcamp ended.

→ A teacher now automates hours of classwork using OpenClaw — the open-sourced local AI we install on Day 4. No token bills.

→ An ex-QA engineer launched his AI automation agency the week after. Already pulling leads from Real Estate industry events.

→ Women with zero coding experience deployed their first websites using Claude Code.

→ Cybersecurity pros leveled up to building AI agents — not just defending them.

→ Data scientists picked up the no-code automation stack and started shipping faster.

→ Business owners with zero coding experience now automate content creation using no-code tools.

The most common message after we wrapped?

"Can you run this for people who actually work during the day?"

So we did.

AI Automation Agency Bootcamp — 2-Week Evening Edition.

Same curriculum. Same instructors. Same deliverables. May 25th. 2 Weeks. Mon–Fri · 6–9 PM · In-person SF + Zoom.

Register here: https://t.co/btawV40WRr

You'll deploy a website with Claude Code, build a voice agent on a real Twilio number, self-host your own AI with OpenClaw, and walk out with a packaged agency offer — niche, pricing, and CRM included.

Claude Code works now free. Unlimited. No subscription 🤯

It’s called free-claude-code. You get a free NVIDIA API key, point Claude Code to localhost, and the proxy converts your Anthropic API calls to NVIDIA NIM format.

40 requests per minute. No bill. Ever.

It supports Kimi K2, GLM 4.7, MiniMax M2, Devstral, and more. Streams thinking tokens and tool calls in real time.

There's also a Telegram bot built in so you can control Claude Code from your phone.

2-minute setup. 100% open source.

Our team started releasing educational materials from our Workshops on Social Media. Check YouTube or Skool for full AI fundamentals lessons.

Most AI projects don't fail because of bad code.
They fail because someone used GPT-4o to do a job a $0.001 model could handle.
Match the model to the task. Use OpenRouter. Pay per token. Save the big guns for big problems.
Budget discipline = project survival. 💸

Instead of watching an hour of Netflix, watch this 2-hour Stanford lecture on AI careers. It will teach you more about winning in the AI race than all the AI content you’ve scrolled past this year.

88% of companies adopted AI. 6% see real ROI.
The gap isn't budget. It isn't talent. It's architectural clarity.

🤯BREAKING: Researchers just mathematically proved that AI layoffs will collapse the economy: and every CEO already knows it.

The AI Layoff Trap. A game theory paper from UPenn + Boston University is glaringly important!

100K+ tech layoffs in 2025. 80% of US workers exposed. And no market force can stop it.

→ Every company fires workers to cut costs
→ Every fired worker stops buying products
→ Revenue collapses across every sector
→ The companies that fired everyone go bankrupt

It's a Prisoner's Dilemma with math behind it. Automate and you survive short-term. Don't automate and your competitor kills you. But everyone automating destroys the demand that makes all companies viable.

UBI (universal basic income) won't fix it.
Profit taxes won't fix it.
The researchers found only one solution: a Pigouvian automation tax "robot tax"

The AI trap on the economy is here!

@IntCyberDigest *realizing it’s April 1st* … processing… laughing .. I am almost 40, but I am so naive still… 😅

@IntCyberDigest Wow this is huge

[International Cyber Digest @IntCyberDigest]

🚨‼️ BREAKING: Anthropic has decided to open source their entire codebase and is rebranding their AI to OpenClaude.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said: "Yesterday was no slip-up. If we disappear just like OpenAI is vanishing right now, our code can live on through the community."

[Lex Mustafin @LexMustafin]

This is tough.
I’m concerned about the future of humanity when corporations race towards higher stock prices at the expense of their workers. But that’s the reality right now.
As a countermeasure — we built an in-person (SF) and online workshop where we teach hands-on AI tools and cybersecurity. Not theory — you leave with working skills that keep you relevant.
Check it out — maybe it’ll help someone you know: https://t.co/LObi9uZ5zy

@om_patel5 Nice hack! Thanks for sharing. Their bot will probably go offline soon 😅

🚨 BREAKING: AI just made 3D modeling insanely fast and easy.

Turn any idea, a sketch, a phrase, or even a childhood memory into a fully realized 3D model in minutes.

No complex software.
No wasted hours.

Here’s why Meshy 6 is a total game-changer 👇

Instead of watching a 2-hour movie, watch this video break down how AI is about to reshape jobs, money, and power over the next decade.

If you’re serious about turning AI from curiosity into operational leverage, this is for you.

@cgtwts This is awesome!
I wish they also offered in-person classes just like @aistartacademy does in SF!
