Designer & Developer collaborating with AI.

The new competition isn’t Humans vs AI. It’s Humans with AI vs everyone else.

[Ryan Power @RPowerHimself]

Effort is a terrible proxy for quality.

Someone can grind for six months and produce something forgettable. Someone else can create something incredible in 2 hours.

We romanticize struggle because it's visible. Taste is invisible.

Lithuanian composer and conductor Mindaugas Piečaitis, directs his orchestra on the notes of Nora the cat playing the piano.

She earns a standing ovation.

HOLY SHIT

Anthropic Just Triggered a $285B Market Crash 😳

Bloomberg just reported that Anthropic released a new AI tool that caused:

󠁯•󠁏 $285 billion wiped out across software, finance, and asset management stocks
󠁯•󠁏 6% drop in Goldman's software basket (biggest since April)
󠁯•󠁏 7% crash in financial services index
󠁯•󠁏 Nasdaq down 2.4% at its worst

This is MASSIVE. The market literally panicked over an AI automation tool.

If you work in software, legal, or IT services, this changes everything.

You just don't know it yet.

On Jan 30, Anthropic quietly released 11 plugins for Claude Cowork.

Not a new model , but plugins.

But these plugins don't work inside your software.
They replace it entirely.

things like financial modeling & sales workflows, which lead to;

󠁯•󠁏 RELX (LexisNexis): -14%
󠁯•󠁏 Infosys: -7%
󠁯•󠁏 TCS: -6%
󠁯•󠁏 Wolters Kluwer: -13%

Wall Street is calling it the "SaaSpocalypse."

Because for the first time, a foundation model company didn't just build the AI.

They built the application layer too.

Anthropic isn't selling APIs anymore.

They're owning entire workflows.

Why pay $50K/year for legal software when Claude does it for $20/month?

Why hire 500 IT consultants when one AI agent works 24/7?

& the scary part?

This is just 11 plugins in a research preview.

Imagine what's coming next.

If your company's value prop is "we automate X"...

You're now competing with Claude.

And Claude costs 1% of what you do.

You're either building with AI, or getting replaced by it.
No middle ground anymore.

[Nicolas Cole 🚢👻 @Nicolascole77]

i know it sounds so existential, but after playing with claude cowork non-stop for the past week, i've officially internalized how existential AI is.

not in like "AGI is here, humans don't matter."

but more like: if you aren't learning these new AI skills, you're completely toast. Good luck getting a job. Good luck building anything of value fast enough for its value to be monetized. Good luck surviving amidst an ocean of AI-orchestrating competition.

just... good luck.

either get on board, or pray for UBI.

Vibe coding is the new product management.

Training and tuning models is the new coding.

[Naval @naval]

AI is adapting to us faster than we are adapting to it.

[Cursor @cursor_ai]

You can now design directly in your codebase.

Select elements, modify them visually, and Cursor writes the code.

If you don’t commit to meaningful work, life will fill your time with busywork.

[Indigo State Of Mind⚡️ @ThirdEyeMastery]

I'm a big fan of the "GPS Theory" when you miss a turn, your GPS doesn't judge you, it recalculates. No matter how many detours you take, it finds another way forward. Life works like that too. You'll make mistakes, but your destination doesn't vanish. The route just changes.

[Peter H. Diamandis, MD @PeterDiamandis]

Curation is now where the value lives.

[Ryan Power @RPowerHimself]

@emollick The next step would be to have Claude suggest improvements to the skills as they are used.

Then Claude could automatically apply those updates to "develop" and refine the skills without you having to manually update the https://t.co/7SGA1T222D file and upload a new ZIP file.

@austinkleon "I've just had an apostrophe."

[Ryan Power @RPowerHimself]

The truth is an accelerant.

It will expedite the natural course of events in ways you might not expect, but always in ways that ultimately bring clarity.

Relationships will dissolve or transform. Goals will change.

It's uncomfortable, but it's the fastest way to grow.
