@silverpins Cherish it, you can only watch it for the first time once and it’s going to continue getting better pretty much the whole time

Hey @AnthropicAI can we get a conversation history API? Anyone solve for this yet at a commercial level?

I just shipped CareCreator for Shopify stores

A friend’s business was spending hundreds of hours seeding gifts to their influencer partners every month and now they have traceable, templated gifting for a fraction of what competing apps charge.

The uncomfortable implication: if the unified self is something a coordinator module assembles from subagents, then what you experience as "I" right now is the output of an orchestrator with limited access to its own components.

We may be closer to what we're building than we realize.

Openclaw, Hermes, Claude, Codex are all converging on subagent architectures: specialized agents coordinated by an orchestrator.

Neuroscience has been pointing at that same structure for 60 years 👇

Subagent architecture in AI was emergent from our needs and the limitations of a monolithic structure, independent from biology

I just learned everything there is to learn. Sort of.

Here’s my go-to Claude/ChatGPT project prompt for learning anything, no matter where you’re starting from:

A mutual posted about how someone cloned her voice with AI and made a website where anyone can generate clips of her voice saying anything... How do we defend against this?

The easiest skill to learn with the highest returns in AI right now is reverse prompting.

Next time you ask AI a question, to research, ideas, etc, just include this at the end:

“Reverse prompt me one question at a time to clear up any assumptions or clarifications you need”

It's never been quicker or easier to see an idea, test a change, or share what's in your head BEFORE spending time and money on a human artist (which you should do if you can afford it)

ChatGPT images 2.0 just made graphic designers' lives a LOT easier for now, and the difference is night and day

Everyone is talking about how AI is killing the creative industry (and it probably is in the long-term) but creatives who learn to work WITH the tools instead of seeing them as a competitor are going to thrive in the near term
