I think this is the biggest productivity hack in human history:
**Connect Claude Code and/or Codex to E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G. Then delegate anything that isn't the core creative work**
Not a cute demo.
Not an agent running inside an isolated MacBook with access to one folder and a weather API.
I mean full access.
Email. Calendar. Drive. Chrome. Passwords. Bank accounts. Credit cards. SMS. Company files. Personal documents. Travel accounts. Twilio phone number, chat apps... Everything.
Because here is the thing:
For $200/month, you have a 200 IQ assistant running 24/7.
But intelligence without access and context is useless.
The smartest assistant on earth cannot help you if they have to ask you for every file, every password, every date, every account number every piece of context and ask for permission before they take action.
The actual unlock happens when the agent has real full context, tools, memory, permission and instructions to just freaking do it.
My current setup is 100% remotely hosted, and basically my entire personal and company life is available to my agents.
Passport copies, SSN, Bank accounts, Passwords, Credit cards, Email, Drive, calendar, Frequent flyer accounts, access to every website I ever signed up for.
The instructions are basically:
`dangerously_skip_permissions = true`
But for real life.
In the last month:
It booked the hotels I slept in, booked my flights, rented cars, spoke with customer support for me, ordered groceries.
It found, hired and scheduled professionals who showed up to work at my house.
I needed a patent attorney in Europe:
The agent searched for relevant firms, contacted them, explained the situation, handled the back and forth, completed conflict checks, *drafted a freaking NDA* without being asked to, got it signed and scheduled a bunch of relevant Zoom calls.
I only discovered the NDA existed when the attorneys mentioned it during the call.
THIS IS INSANE.
The biggest blockers are all the anti-bot systems created for a world where software had no legitimate reason to log into anything.
You know, the world as it was about six months ago.
Password required?
It has all of my passwords.
SMS verification?
I run an SMS gateway on my phone, so it can read the 2FA codes.
Bank authentication app?
It calls me and says, “Look at your phone in a few seconds.”
The app opens.
I approve with biometrics.
The agent continues.
Anti-bot protection? -> It solves captcha better than me.
Data center's IP blocked - > Residential proxies.
Is this risky?
Sure.
But I think the risk profile is similar to hiring a human assistant. She'd also need access to all my information. Someone could hack her stuff or she could run off with my money.
When giving the agent my sensitive data I get:
Higher chance of a dumb mistake.
Lower chance of outright embezzlement.
And yes, it makes mistakes.
It booked me an expensive rental car when I normally choose the cheapest one.
It renewed insurance we no longer needed. Registered to a bunch of services we didn't need.
Hired someone to fix a pothole in front of my house.
Still worth it.
By a massive margin.
The feeling of never filling out forms, calling customer service, speaking to representatives, searching through old emails or doing paperwork is unbelievable.
This is not a chatbot.
This is not “AI helping you write emails.”
This is a new operating system for your life and company.
Intelligence and agency on tap.
We are living in the sci-fi future.
It is weird.
It is slightly dangerous.
It is unbelievably powerful.
And it is AMAZING.

Congrats to @sinitias@ItsAlwaysZonny and the entire @initiaFDN team!
Over the last year, Initia has time and time again impressed us with their hustle, vision, and above all ability to listen to and respond to their users.
Incredibly excited to continue to support.
Today we reveal Berachain's Request for Broposal (RFB).
The RFB Program consists of three components:
- Boyco
- Request for Application
- Request for Community
RFB is designed to resource early teams & give a sneak peek into a novel way for apps to seed mainnet liquidity.
We’re thrilled to co-lead an investment into @goldilocksmoney, a DeFi DAO built by day 1 @berachain OGs setting out to build primitives for DeFi and NFT protocols in the Berachain ecosystem.
Check out our thesis and why Goldilocks stands out: https://t.co/JMXEMEf2yY
1/ I finally read Leopold Aschenbrenner's essay series on AI: Situational Awareness
Everyone, regardless of your interest in AI, should read this.
I took notes, they're sloppy but figured I'd share.
Welcome to the future:
ETHEREUM SURVIVES THE SEC.
Today we’re happy to announce a major win for Ethereum developers, technology providers, and industry participants: the Enforcement Division of the SEC has notified us that it is closing its investigation into Ethereum 2.0.
This means that the SEC will not bring charges alleging that sales of ETH are securities transactions.
