Building AI tools, agents, and automations that make me feel like I'm living in 2035. Sharing how they work. Data platform engineer by day.

[Buddy Hadry @buddyhadry]

Meta Ray-Bans (native WhatsApp support) + @steipete's @openclaw + tmux = hands-free voice control for my whole system & all of my Claude Code and Codex agents

Agent status check:
"Check agent tmux sessions, show any awaiting approval...yes approve that command"

At a store, see something overpriced:
"Use the alexa skill, ask what's this price on Amazon?"
$30 cheaper.
"Tell Alexa to add that to my cart"

Smart home:
"In an hour, set the thermostat to 68 and turn on the living room lights"

Logging meals:
"Use the myfitnesspal skill and log my lunch: I had a 4oz chicken breast, a Mission wrap...etc"

At my desk:
"Create a GitHub issue on aptus: fix sidebar mobile keyboard touch handlers"

Phone stays in pocket the whole time. Smart home controlled hands-free from anywhere. Agent session statuses reporting and managed via voice. Tasks captured.

The frontier voice models have pretty limited code execution and integrations, but I have to imagine this is the direction they're headed.

For now, this feels like living in the future.

I do the same via a local API surface showing tmux session context (for the token savings over raw capture-pane first)…

But I questioned even that workflow the other day when I just told Codex to message itself with send keys the next goal when it’s done. All the send key workflows I’ve done over the last year and I think it was the first time “message yourself” dawned on me

@robzolkos tmux is the core of my workflow! my zsh boots straight into tmux, can't live without it

[Buddy Hadry @buddyhadry]

@aakashgupta Has been a game changer. Aside from waking up to all my usage gone more often.

Codex friends: do you like side chats? do you like them so much that you wish you could make them permanent? here you go!

do you also wish that you could update AGENTS.md on demand for an existing thread? well now you can!

just check out my latest vibesloppe-uh agentically engineered repo, you can do unspeakable things to your threads. big ball of slop but it just works.

This post is an absolute masterclass in ragebait. Let's examine.

Opens with "Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it."

Classic "I alone see it" framing. You're being invited to feel smart for reading further. The funny part is that this take is the single most common AI critique on the internet. Half of Reddit writes about this every day. "Nobody's connecting it" is how this is pulling 4M impressions in 24 hours. Everyone who already believes this gets to feel like they're finally being seen and validated.

He describes the scraping, the training, the compression of human knowledge into a model, all the genuinely hard work, and trivializes it in the same breath. Sets the theft tone early with "Do it without asking. Do it without paying." Fine, that's a real concern a lot of people share. But what he's actually describing, stripped of the framing, is aggregation and distillation. Encyclopedia Britannica did this. Textbooks do this.

Then he drops the bogeyman in:

BlackRock. Perfect. Puts you straight into evil finance headspace. "Metered utility" right behind it puts you in evil utility company territory.

Then: "the collective output of human thought, what you and everyone you know already created." You didn't create it. Your neighbor didn't either. Some guy posted on Reddit in 2015 and now apparently we all own it together.

"Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies."

Library's still there though. Every book's still on the shelf. Evert article and Reddit post is still up. Nothing's burned. But it reads like a punchy killshot so it's getting quote tweeted as one. Almost certainly written by an LLM too. Amazing work.

But the best part of this all is: this is Alex Prompter. He's an AI dude, his whole feed on both @alex_prompter and @godofprompt is top ways to use AI.

This post looks like he gave Claude a framing, fed it the right trigger words (BlackRock, metered utility, collective ownership of human thought), and asked for maximum ragebait. Now he's at 4M impressions in 24h while his actual feed is AI prompt tutorials.

Beautiful piece of ragebait. The man can prompt. Respect.

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.

Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.

Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."

Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.

They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.

One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."

Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.

That's the metered intelligence business model.

And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

Your tools litter your computer with plain text secrets.

I (the creator of Homebrew) wrote @AutomicVault which protects your secrets and adds approval gates at the *packaging layer*. Packages are patched so secrets go in the keychain, approval gates are patched into the packages themselves.

[Buddy Hadry @buddyhadry]

The vast majority of AI usage is going to be invisible to the end consumer. Shit, that’s already the case.

It’s not ‘AI in your blender.’ It’s helping people write software, prototype ideas, automate boring work, analyze data, improve logistics, speed up research, model proteins, find drug candidates, read medical images, and compress scientific iteration cycles.

That’s the actual thing here.

People keep arguing against the dumbest consumer version of AI, when the real value is cognition and automation infrastructure behind the scenes. Even if half the hype dies, the part where scientists, engineers, analysts, doctors, researchers etc are massively more leveraged is not going away.

Why stop at 10 clients a month?

My day is 6am to noon, that's one client. And I'm not crazy, you're crazy for thinking it takes 24 hours just like some dude in a cave did 300 years ago.

My second day starts at Noon and goes to 6pm, that's client 2.

The next day is 6pm to midnight. Thats client 3. What I have done now is changed and manipulated time. I now get 21 clients a week.

Stack that up over a month I'm gonna kick your butt.

Stack that up over a year, you're slop.

Stack that up over five years, I've one-shotted your whole industry.

Grant Cardone breaks down how to make $83,000/month with AI consulting👀

$8,300/month x 10 Clients = $996,000/year

"I would have 10 clients, each pay me $8,000. To go in and push all their AI, all their programs, I'd probably bring three AI platforms into the company, figure out three or four different projects they want me to handle.

I wouldn't be on their healthcare, wouldn't be on their payroll, they'd pay me an $8,000 consulting fee. I'd make a million dollars in year one. $83,000 a month. 10 people, $8,300 each."

i saw a mouse with an X-shaped battery compartment.

first thought: this is stupid - who designed it?

5 seconds later: oh.

10 seconds later: OHHH!

the X slot fits an AA or an AAA battery - whichever you've got lying around.

the part most people miss is that the shape also makes it physically impossible to load both at once.

there is no warning label, no instructions and no way to screw it up.
the geometry does the thinking for you.

japanese has a word for this.
poka-yoke = "mistake-proofing."

the product refuses your stupidity before you can offer it.

i wish more things worked like this.

@heynavtoor The “act in the customer’s interest” prompt was appended after the system prompt had already told the assistant to prioritize sponsor airlines.

Study result is better summed up as: LLMs listen to their system prompt better than later steers (which we already know).

Claude Code's down.

This 'claude-session-handoff' skill always comes in handy.

Helps Codex quickly pickup where Claude left off in your session.

[Buddy Hadry @buddyhadry]

For the next time Claude Code goes down:

Made a skill that you can use to quickly bring a Codex session up to speed of where your last session left off by having it look at your most recent Claude Code session file.

Use claude-session-handoff to recover the latest Claude Code session for a repo, narrow to today, verify the workspace, and continue where Claude left off.

@Eater_Of_Rice @King_Samus @FionnualaFini What a weird exchange.

Pot’s really calling the kettle black.

[Buddy Hadry @buddyhadry]

@King_Samus @FionnualaFini That’s probably just because he makes content about this very sort of thing, is well prepared for it and is a bit of a local activist when it comes to asserting his rights. Probably chomping at the bit here.

[Buddy Hadry @buddyhadry]

@ToddBonzalez5 @MapleParadox_ @CultureCrave @sltrib Almost all new data center proposals use closed loop water retention systems.

For the obvious political reasons and because it’s also more efficient for cooling.

It’s the standard now.
