Anthropic just officially released the blueprint for creating a company with Claude Code and it's mind-blowing😭

CEO: 1 human (who sleeps)
Employees: several AIs
Activities: the AIs divide up the tasks and move forward on their own

Work is literally dying... I've summarized the full guide below, read it when you've got 5 min ⤵️

If you want the AI to work while you sleep → save this as a bookmark 🔖

In the 21st century some worship data, models, fiber & data centers and think ideology will not survive the nature of this technology.

Give First: The Power of Mentorship is officially out (today is the release date).

In honor of the release, I decided to write https://t.co/QAz4Q2JhTD to explain why I view Give First as a philosophy instead of a religion.

For all that have embraced this philosophy, contributed to it, and helped me hone and evolve it over the years, thank you.

Fun experiment: hit record on GPT on your phone in the background of your next vulnerable conversation. Just upload it, and see what it spits back… my result was legit inspiring and drove some productive next steps. The way we can communicate is changing!

There's a big difference between people who choose to just do what they are doing (or default to it) and people who choose to be great at what they are doing. Realizing that I've recently doubled down to surround with people who choose to be great at whatever they do in this life

Many founders unfortunately don’t understand the downstream impact of SAFE or convertible note that’s doesn’t convert and therefore doesn’t dilute.

An @indievc company recently closed a round at a modest multiple to revenue and growth that, on paper, returns not only the entire fund it's in but multiples of everything we deployed into the strategy before we wound it down.

It really was ahead of it's time...
