Maker of things, surf addict. - YouTube & AI creating @TubeLabHQ

[Antonio 🇵🇹 @antoniojmps]

I started creating YouTube tools 13 years ago.

I've gone full-time today.

🧵 Here's how it all started (a thread)

[Antonio 🇵🇹 @antoniojmps]

@michael_upstack https://t.co/qmsagkns3u (and starting other)

[Antonio 🇵🇹 @antoniojmps]

I would love to have a private group of SaaS owners where we could:

Brainstorm marketing ideas.
Brainstorm landing pages.
Brainstorm pricing strategies.
Review eachothers products.

Simple rules: no advertisements of your tools, no conflict of interests between users (can't be on same market).

Anything like this out there?

[Antonio 🇵🇹 @antoniojmps]

@MarioJoos Relevant for A/B testing compared to CTR or only YT's native watch time A/B testing?

[Antonio 🇵🇹 @antoniojmps]

@EnricPedro T H I S.

[Antonio 🇵🇹 @antoniojmps]

this would actually be annoying as hell

[Abhijit @abhijitwt]

Someone built a collection of 263+ open source animated icons that actually move with intent 😭

and it's backed by vercel

[Antonio 🇵🇹 @antoniojmps]

By now I've just become a plan reviewer & qa tester.

[jack friks @jackfriks]

just woke up this morning and realized artificial intelligence might finally be good enough to close my coding IDE for good and never look at a line of code again...

[Antonio 🇵🇹 @antoniojmps]

By now I think Google already has a private SOTA model, and is just using it internally.

Google business model is NOT being an AI Model provider (like OpenAI or Claude)

[Uzi @uzairansar]

Google probably wishes Gemini 3.5 Pro was dangerous enough to regulate

[Antonio 🇵🇹 @antoniojmps]

@JacobRBryant1 Not surprising ;)

[Antonio 🇵🇹 @antoniojmps]

Hot take: hundreds of 'breakthroughs' have already been co-authored by AI. Almost none of them disclosed it

[Paul Graham @paulg]

Among the other things AIs will get better at is recognizing AI-generated text. Presumably writing generated by this year's models will be easy to catch in a few years. Prediction: This will cause huge scandals in academia, as published papers are later exposed as AI-generated.

Spotify about to become a major YouTube competitor.

Called this out early Dec. last year.

Awesome news, YT is finally going to have some pressure to start treating creators better.

[Nate Curtiss @natecurtiss_yt]

Spotify method dropping soon...

[Antonio 🇵🇹 @antoniojmps]

Some days are really rough man, got to believe it’s all worth it in the end

[Paul Mit @pmitu]

If you want to build a startup, you have to accept:

- stress
- rejections
- pressure
- difficult times
- challenges
- uncertainty

These are the parts of the game.

[Antonio 🇵🇹 @antoniojmps]

@luismbat Surprised how cheap it is

[Antonio 🇵🇹 @antoniojmps]

@thekitze Actually really cool product.

[Antonio 🇵🇹 @antoniojmps]

@shkeffy @RoxCodes This is extremely interesting! How do you make sure creators stick to you instead of running their own thing?

[Antonio 🇵🇹 @antoniojmps]

Been noticing...

AI Bots problem on X seems mostly solved?

[Antonio 🇵🇹 @antoniojmps]

is originality dead?

[Vexian - Algorithm Alchemist @Vexian]

The game is dead

[Antonio 🇵🇹 @antoniojmps]

@thekitze IMO it's all about balance. Let her have screen-time but you control what & when.

[Antonio 🇵🇹 @antoniojmps]

@jesse_vermeulen Only convinced if this is running on a 2020 PC.

[Antonio 🇵🇹 @antoniojmps]

@Vexian Trust me, I stayed in school and worked for others. This amount of stress is 100% better vs having 50% of it but working for someone else

[Antonio 🇵🇹 @antoniojmps]

This. I don’t understand this mindset.

You’re running inferior models, for 10x the cost.

And if you want to “own them” you can still rent out hardware way cheaper vs buying them.

The only use case where I see this make sense is if you as are a big org with hundreds of users & you are running private data - think colleges or public services.

Where it’s actually cheaper to buy hardware vs paying millions / year in tokens.
