The biggest opportunities right now:
1. build for solving loneliness (the more AI floods everything, the more people crave real human connection, IRL and small social)
2. build for agents that need to spend money (they're getting virtual cards and budgets, someone builds the spend controls, fraud protection, receipts)
3. build for people drowning in AI output (everyone generates infinite drafts now, the bottleneck moved to reviewing and choosing, build the judgment layer)
4. build for the burnout economy (everyone is expected to always be on and always optimizing, and the backlash toward rest, slowness, and enough is building)
5. build for verifying humans (deepfakes broke trust, every dating app, marketplace, and video call needs proof-of-human within 2 years)
6. build for the physical world (the trades, hardware, robots that AI is finally reaching)
7. build for the agent that answers the phone (every local business misses calls after 5pm, a voice agent that books the job is worth thousands a month)
8. build for the aging (70M+ boomers who want to stay healthy, sharp, and connected)
9. build for the LLM-search land grab (being the cited answer is the new SEO)
10. build for the newly automated (the paralegal, the analyst, the marketer whose job just changed and needs to reskill fast)
11. build for the seat-pricing collapse (software repricing from $50/seat to per-outcome, whoever nails outcome billing wins a category)
12. build for AI enablement (95% of businesses use nothing beyond ChatGPT, someone has to onboard the other 95%)
13. build for the agency everyone resents (businesses pay $1k/mo to agencies they hate, an agent that does 80% of it undercuts the model)
14. build for verticals on 2011 software (dentists, HOAs, contractors, all overdue for an AI-native rebuild)
15. build for reviving dead software (thousands of abandoned apps with real users, agents can maintain what a team couldn't, buy and revive)
16. build for markets too small to matter before (500 lobster fishermen was never worth a team, now it's a weekend and a real business)
17. build for agents hiring agents (a shadow economy is forming, it needs escrow, reputation, and dispute resolution for machines)
18. build for the anti-AI premium (as everything gets generated, human-made and analog become status symbols people pay up for)
19. build for distribution-first (anyone can build the product now, so the audience is the moat, media company first, product second)
20. build for the reinvention of college (what does an MBA even mean anymore)
21. build for a world with more free time than it knows what to do with (if AI takes the busywork, the question becomes what people do with the hours, and that's a civilization sized market)
note: more trends/ideas @ideabrowser (free to sign up)
22. build for the return to the physical (screens fill with slop, people crave the real world, the hands-on, the local, the analog)
23. build for the caregiving wave. The population is aging fast, tens of millions are caring for parents, and the whole burden is landing on families with no support.
24. build for the longevity shift (people want to live to 100 healthy, and a whole industry is forming around actively managing your own biology)
25. build for the housing and rootlessness problem (people can't afford to settle down, and the whole idea of a stable home base is up for grabs)
26. build for spiritual hunger (as institutions hollow out, the need for meaning, ritual, and belonging is exploding into new forms)
KEEP BUILDING
they gave frontier models a 1 billion token context window:
you can now run Fable [1B], Opus [100M],
GPT 5.6 [500M] across your entire codebase
- it's a graph based tool that can traverse databases with 400M+ of nodes in ms
- only one prompt to install
- & it's open source (link in video)
Introducing Polygres
sovereign ai is amazing
no wifi. no cloud. no internet.
just type @ai <prompt> on @jack bitchat app and get LLM responses fully offline via bluetooth mesh
using @exolabs for local inference on apple silicon
mesh handles the routing.
exo handles the inference.
completely sovereign.
encrypt V2 is LIVE!
Private bridging across 6 chains — Solana, Polygon, BNB Chain, Base, Arbitrum & Ethereum.
✔ No wallet connection
✔ No wrapping or shielding
✔ Under 2min execution
✔ Lower fees vs Houdini/ChangeNow

Still surreal to see this on the @SolanaConf stage.
@ilblackdragon mentioning encrypt(.)trade × @near_intents while talking about the future of cross-chain UX.
Private cross-chain routing is no longer a side idea; it’s becoming core infrastructure
To provide verifiable privacy and transparency, we're deploying LLMs with NEAR AI Nvidia-backed Trusted Execution Environments.
These LLMs run in secure environments that encrypt your data and create reports proving that the correct model was used and your chat stayed private.
one of the best things about Alliance is the sheer depth of expertise across every domain.
mentors, operators, founders - whatever you’re stuck on, there’s someone who’s already solved it.
book a call, discuss, execute.
bullish.
Aave Labs is launching zero-fee on and off-ramping for @GHO and other stablecoins in Europe across Aave's various products.
Cash to DeFi will soon be a frictionless experience across the Aave ecosystem.
Solana is for builders.
We went from 0 to millions in volume in few months.
Now proud to be sharing the stage with Solana OGs at @SolanaConf.
Catch me in Abu Dhabi - let’s build the endgame for programmable privacy onchain.
Today we're releasing ZKP2P V3, our most automated, composable evolution of a peer-to-peer on/offramp protocol, live on @base
The first & last mile problem has never been closer to solved. We've scaled from $10k to>$100k daily since Feb.
The journey to our next 10x starts now👇
The @TeeDotFail research broke the confidentiality & integrity guarantees of TEEs & that’s huge.
But the way it’s being presented feels more like a hit-piece than an honest discussion.
Let’s unpack this attack & I'll tell you why it makes me more bullish on TEEs, not less 👇🧵
