I spent 12 hours this weekend installing https://t.co/aq7DBz7en5 on every agent.

here's everything i learned:

→ claude chat - 90% of the world uses this or chatgpt. It loves MCPs. And it's great for one-shot tasks (headline generator, find journalists), but it can't run the complex scheduled workflows. big gap to to solve for here.

→ claude cowork - positioned as "claude code for business," but in practice it's stripped down with more limitations than i expected. everything sandboxed and you can't persist to local machines easily.

→ local agents (claude code, codex, hermes, openclaw) - These agents love CLIs. and they have full coverage. real workflow orchestration. scheduled runs that actually persist. where most of the power users' agents live today.

→ chatgpt - the worst experience for skill-based workflows lol. skills are still gated to business and enterprise plans, so plus/pro users can't load newsjack natively yet

I just shipped Newsjack v0.1.11 based on all these learnings:

- rewrote the install flow for every platform with this giant matrix.
- install to Claude and Cowork as a Claude plugin.
- one-line install for local agents now works on Windows.
- a rewritten getting-started guide for the agent to follow.
- medialyst connection now uses a clean API endpoint

the punchline: you no longer need to read the setup guide.

paste this prompt into the AI agent of your choice:

> "install https://t.co/5ViWqne7gA for me"

agent reads the setup guide. detects your platform. picks the right install path. walk you through the whole setup.

welcome to the world of agent onboarding - this is now the minimum bar every product is expected to clear.

U.S. VOTER FRAUD IS REAL, AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT, BUT STILL IT GOES ON. California was once the gem of the U.S. until the state became Democratic, election after election, basically under one-party rule. The state is now a disgrace and an embarrassment. If all the illegals are removed from California, the state will go down the tubes until a conservative front starts a movement of recovery.
The progressives have destroyed the state with so many genders you can't count them all. Child mutilation is fully supported, as well as boys in girls' sports. Illegals are receiving U.S. benefits and voting as well. Doesn't anyone but conservatives see this? Don't the Democrats care? No, they don't. It is all about power, and this is the result of that dream. All IMO.

"It’s become clear that California voting is designed to give Democrats the ability to cheat. Aside from Ranked Choice Voting scam and a universal mail-out of ballots, the state allows 30 days for votes to be counted, a fraud facilitator if ever there was one.
We’re seeing it play itself out very much in real time. Last week in Los Angeles in the battle for Mayor, at one point after an update of 24,000 votes, Spencer Pratt, a guy with 30% support, did not gain a single vote. I asked Grok for the odds and it was somewhere over 1 over infinity... basically, zero. In a city where only 43% of students can read, believing those vote totals would require you to think that when half the voters are practically illiterate, not a single one accidentally voted for Pratt. And now thanks to mail in voting, Pratt has lost the lead for qualifying for the runoff to someone who was polling 4 points behind him when voting started.

All of this makes me think of a quote by Elena Gorokhova when characterizing life in the Soviet Union: “The rules are simple: they lie to us, we know they’re lying, they know we know they’re lying, but they keep lying to us, and we keep pretending to believe them.” The Russians even have a word for it: Vranyo, a lie that everyone knows is a lie but pretends otherwise.
That’s exactly what’s been going on in America for decades. The Democrats have been using mail-in ballots, voting machines, and endless “recounts” to steal elections right in front of us. It’s the theft that everyone is supposed to pretend is not happening. Christine Gregoire in 2004. Al Franken in 2008. Joe Biden in 2020.

Then there’s the Senate. The same week the Senate took a shot at the SAVE America Act and it was defeated. Voting with the Democrats were the four most despicable vermin in the Senate, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Mitch McConnell, and Thom Tillis. Even if they had voted with the GOP, it would have failed because the TDS afflicted John Thune refuses to get rid of the filibuster."

Attention is all you need

[Shraddha Bharuka @BharukaShraddha]

RAG, AI Agents, MCP, and A2A aren’t competitors.

They’re different layers of the same AI system.

Once you see this mental model, modern AI architecture becomes much clearer 👇

1️⃣ RAG = Better answers

RAG is about retrieval + grounded generation.

Flow:
User question → retrieve relevant data → add context → LLM generates answer with sources.

Use RAG when you need:

• answers from company docs
• reduced hallucinations
• citations and traceability

RAG solves the knowledge problem.

Once the model has enough context to answer, its job is done.

2️⃣ AI Agents = Do the work

Agents move beyond answering.

They plan, act, and iterate.

Typical loop:
Plan → Observe → Act → Reflect → Repeat

Use agents when tasks require:

• multi-step decisions
• tool usage
• executing workflows in real systems
• verifying outcomes

Agents solve the execution problem.

3️⃣ MCP = Standard tool access

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the plumbing layer.

It standardizes how LLMs connect to tools and resources.

Think:

“One universal interface for AI → tools.”

Use MCP when you need:

• consistent access to APIs and services
• structured connections to SQL, CRM, files, etc.
• fewer custom integrations

MCP solves the tool connectivity problem.

4️⃣ A2A = Agents working together

A2A (Agent-to-Agent) enables multi-agent systems.

It handles:

• agent discovery
• delegation and routing
• permissions and handoffs
• events and status updates

Use A2A when you have:

• multiple specialized agents
• distributed AI systems
• cross-team or partner automation

A2A solves the coordination problem.

The real takeaway:

Modern AI systems often look like this:

RAG → grounding knowledge
Agents → executing tasks
MCP → connecting tools
A2A → coordinating agents

Different problems.

Different layers.

One architecture.

The real AI shift isn’t better prompts.

It’s better systems.

This is why I joined @FactoryAI. We created and named this category. Coding agents enabled individual engineers to develop faster, and software factories will enable engineering organizations at scale. The next phase is building software factories.

[GREG ISENBERG @gregisenberg]

I met a 19 year old who makes $200,000+ building apps with AI and he can't even code.

1 year ago he was literally working at TJ Maxx.

He made a deck called "How to scale your app to $10k/month (easy mode)" and gave away the entire playbook on the pod:

1. Pick an idea you're actually passionate about. He proved this the hard way. The app he hated got 1.8M views and made $35. The app he loved made $17,000. Same month.

2. Build one "gotcha feature" anyone gets in 5 seconds. Take a picture of food, get calories. That's the whole pitch. 90% of distribution is nailing this. Gotcha features that include AI are working a lot right now.

3. Onboarding is where the money is. Educate, add social proof, personalize to create sunk cost, then hit them with FOMO right before the paywall.

4. Your IG is both a sales funnel for users and your credibility when pitching influencers. Three demos, clean bio, collab posts.

5. Distribution is a numbers game. Tailor your feed to your ideal customer, scroll and DM all day, hire a VA, get creators on the phone fast.

His name @GeorgeLampro20. It was fun hearing him share what is working in real-time from his POV.

Might get your creative juices flowing if building mobile apps with AI is exciting to you.

I love how simple his deck he showed is.

My biggest takeaways from @markpinc:

1. Your instincts are right 95% of the time, but your ideas are wrong 75% of the time. The most common failure mode is getting attached to a “B+” idea that is good but isn’t quite right, and then giving up on your original instinct.

2. Mark's “Proven Better New” framework: Proven: become the world’s leading expert on what already works, and copy those elements (tastefully). Better: make a change that improves it such that 10 out of 10 existing users would say “f*ck yeah, I’ll switch to this.” New: add something new that’s never been tried with this product and audience.

3. Copying well is “moral arbitrage.” Most product builders resist copying because we’re taught in school that copying is cheating. But the best product makers understand that users hate change, and will leverage what already works to help their net-new ideas work.

4. Being less ambitious is often the path to building the most ambitious products. Mark’s first two companies started with very humble premises and became bigger successes than he imagined. Then with Tribe, he tried to be too ambitious, and he failed. At 41 he started Zynga with something “embarrassingly small”—a poker game—and says, “People thought I had no dignity.” Big incumbents are forced to chase only billion-dollar ideas, which is precisely why a startup can win.

5. You know your product is a B+ when you’re asking if it’s an A. It’s like dating: when you’re with the right person, you know it. Mark recently pulled the plug on one of his own projects after four years and $25 million, and felt more inspired in the next two weeks than in the prior four years.

6. Micromanagement is beautiful, and you should do it as long as you can. The best product CEOs are in the minutiae of pixel-level details. Steve Jobs insisted on picking out the carpeting in conference rooms. Mark ran a two-hour standup call with all 50 employees going through what each person did yesterday and would do today.

7. The biggest opportunity in consumer products right now is making AI social. Mark thinks the next platform will get built around AI agents brokering relationships (a “social membrane” of trust) and reimagining services—like a free, 24/7 agentic travel agent.

8. Make everyone a CEO. Give people a hill to take, and give them operating control and degrees of freedom. This is incredibly motivating for people, and it means they’re not coming back to you with questions.

9. Use AI as a “failure machine.” Mark expected founders to use AI to test 100 ideas a day; instead people are using it to build “one idea in three months,” which he calls a “dangerous drug” for manufacturing false hope.

10. In the age of AI, teach your kids critical thinking and how to be generative, not consumptive. The hundred-year cycle of mass-produced education is ending. Knowledge working is going away, but we’re still teaching knowledge education. Mark doesn’t care if his kids go to college; he cares that they develop critical thinking and find a way to be useful to people in the world.

[Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath]

The CEOs of the Mags have each been in the seat for decades. Love them or hate them, they have had tons of reps dealing with every conceivable situation - and have had do it under withering public scrutiny. As a result, what you see is what you get. And what you get is that they are all in-band, predictable actors.

Then there’s the emerging case of Dario. What you see is also what you get, but what you get is different.

To his credit, this is only his 5th year as CEO. It’s incredible to see what he’s built. He’s running, arguably, America’s most important company and perhaps the world’s. It’s a trillion dollar behemoth that will only grow bigger if the revenues hold.

But whenever there is an Anthropic dust up, it can roughly be summarized as “someone is lying or misleading you - figure out who but it’s not me”because the setup is always such.

This last episode with the government has been boiled down to that - a case of he said, she said. The problem is that this the second such incident of Anthropic vs US Government just in the last 90 days.

So what happens over the next 18mo when Anthropic develops their next super-brain model after Mythos/Fable?

If I had to bet, it seems Dario is convinced that he’s being truthful and others including the US Government are not. So why even try to cooperate with the US Government versus just work around them - especially when you have a super tool/weapon on your side.

This, to me, is a concerning setup.

No, it’s not “Pride Month.” Not for me, and not for millions of others.

You’re welcome to be proud of whatever you want, in any month you like—because this is America. But what started in 1969 as a rebellion against persecution, morphed into a license for public depravity, and then morphed again into a weapon aimed at families and innocent children. Along the way it went from a day, to a week, and then a month and became official, and thereby effectively mandatory for all.

Enough!

If you’re gay and wondering why you are facing resistance now, the answer is that, with few exceptions, most of you didn’t stand up against the expansion and weaponization of “pride,” and the coercion that went with it. In that failure to resist, the gay community compromised any expectation that the rest of us should support “pride” at all, but especially the obscene display of hostility toward civilization and the families of which it is built, and for whom it exists.

If your hackles are raised by the idea that civilization is about families, realize that families are how civilizations persist through time. Not everyone needs to form one, but we all must respect and protect them—It is the foundation of what it means to be civilized.

For the small fraction of gays and lesbians who DID courageously stand up and resist expansion, coercion and the weaponization of “Pride,” I stand with you, and I have all along. But I won’t be celebrating, and I won’t be silent.

It’s not too late to join the voices of reason and to confront the insanity of what “pride” has become.
