I help small business owners save 10+ hrs/week using free AI tools | Ex-IT/IAM Pro | From Abuja to the world | CEO @dustandwipes | DM 'AI' for your free toolkit
I used to help IT teams sleep at night. Now I help small business owners sleep without their laptop glued to their face.
Same mission. Different battlefield. Free AI tools. Zero excuses.
It's time to take the leap. Let's go!
This is really good. I love how easy it is to use Claude to build your scheduler and program it to automatically research online sources and write for you.
Pretty impressive.
Dario Amodei would not have anticipated this boomerang
Anthropic has been one of the most thoughtful, ethical voices on AI safety. This week alone, Dario:
✔️ Published an essay calling for regulations
✔️ Called for a global pause on AI development
The safety narrative Anthropic built over years achieved something real: it convinced governments that AI is a genuine national security concern
Governments act on what they believe. And this week they acted, banning Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all foreign nationals. To ensure failproof implementation, Anthropic had to pull back the models entirely.
Anthropic wanted guardrails. They got a blunt response
Business Lesson.
Don't do business for poor people.
You do business 'for' customers—people who have the ability and willingness to pay for service/products.
You can do charity for the poor—buy them clothes, build them shelter, etc.
The Claude Fable 5 Love Story:
The Honeymoon (3 days ago): Us: 'Fable 5, you're INCREDIBLE. Best thing ever!' 🕺💃
The Plot Twist: Government: 'Suspend Access to Fable 5... 👋😢'
The Reconciliation: Us to Opus 4.8: 'Hey, babe... we are back. We were only testing your patience. You've ALWAYS been the one. 😭💔➡️💚'
Lesson: It was, after all, a short story designed to teach a moral lesson. #Fable
Claude Fable 5: A brief love story 📖
Plot twist: Government says "Suspend access to Fable 5."
Silver lining: Opus 4.8 is ready to pick up the slack (and honestly, has been hitting the gym). Your workflows will survive. We promise. Probably.
Check your integrations, stay hydrated, and remember—it's not you, it's the export controls. 🚀😃
Claude:
Everything is clean. The `main` branch now has all the images already committed, so nothing is missing.
Me:
Great! Deploy to Vercel now.
Claude:
Sure thing! Let me deploy files...Checking...
You've hit your limit... 😃
Massive improvement from model 4.7. Aside from the agentic and coding gains, I love that the 4.8 model is more trustworthy and more likely to flag uncertainties—and less likely to make unsupported claims.
Effort control has also been improved on this latest release, making it easy to choose how much effort it takes to respond from low up to max.
I love the dynamic workflow integration too.
On a flip side, though, I am not sure I totally agree with the published competitive benchmark claims (beating GPT-5.5 and Gemini 3.1 Pro).

💬 DM me "AI," and I'll send you my free toolkit
I run a cleaning company in Abuja with a 3-person team.
We serve corporates, developers, event planners & homeowners.
Last year, admin was eating me alive; proposals took 4-5 hrs, scheduling was chaos, and chasing payments was exhausting.
Then I let AI take over. Here's exactly what changed 🧵👇
Although I have an IT background, you don't need to be techie to use AI in your business.
I'm a cleaning company CEO in Abuja.
If AI can help me build an app, write proposals that win contracts, and design our marketing, it can work for your business too.
All the tools I mentioned are mostly free or cost very little.
