Video agents are blowing up
I'm open-sourcing an MCP server that lets Claude control Autograph, a new (free!) After Effects alternative
Connect claude to real-time motion graphics, pro VFX, keyframes, and rendering combined in one spot. Compatible with any AE project, too 💻☀️
if you’re serious about running a tiktok ugc strategy, jibran is the guy to follow. its hard to find zero bullshit content on this topic where there’s no course to buy and everything is actionable today; here it is:
sitting on tons of mac minis + infra for imessage, handling a little over 1m messages/mo in prod already. if your users wanna set up openclaw over imessage, lmk. by far the simplest and fastest user onboarding
We *need* to let the $20/month people know that using the Claude chatbot on a website versus hooking up to Claude via API creates a *completely different understanding* of what AI is capable of.
I suspect that this the largest unnamed driver of all the internet warring around AI today.
Look at the quotes on the post below; a million people saying AI is capable of anything, a million who say it can’t conjure a basic thought.
To make it dead simple: if you’ve only ever used the website or chatbot app, you have never gotten close to understanding what AI is capable of today. You are 3 years behind.
When tech people make articles warning you of what’s to come, they’re using Claude, Gemini etc literally all day, across everything they do. These models write their own software, integrate themselves into any app you want in any capacity you choose. It can text your friends for you, it files your taxes for you, it negotiates contracts for you. It is capable of most anything that happens on a screen in a deeply personalizable way. It’s also a rich, unlimited thinking partner; it asks you clarifying questions, it questions your motives, it connects your off-the-cuff ideas to files and notes you might’ve saved years ago, it creates new visualizations from of any big ugly text you’ve ever saved, and it can spot holes in any of this work before you can. It can literally control any angle of your computer you want, and you can run it 24/7. So naturally, these API people are literally buying entire extra laptops dedicated to just using more Claude.
Compare that with the $20/month experience of using Opus 4.6 on the Claude website. It fucking sucks in comparison. All the writing sounds the same, context degrades after a few long messages, “it’s not X it’s Y”, doesn’t know when to answer your question versus build you an HTML file, can never read your files correctly, can’t see much of any of your personal history, and worst of all, you get throttled in any decently involved chat— Claude will literally tell you to come back another day.
This is not about coding. The people who are deepest with these tools use them across everything. Claude knows where everything is on my computer, how I like it to be used and documents my day-to-day work on autopilot.
My team collectively bought something like 30 billion Claude tokens in 2025, spending a few hundred thousand dollars. Because It’s better than the $20/chatbot.
The problem is that both sides of people see “Opus 4.6” and think they used the same thing. That is why one group of people has seen Claude unable to read a spreadsheet or unable to write a compelling paragraph, and another group of people sees Claude swallowing the entire managerial class within 12 months.
🧵 Today, on a bipartisan basis, the Senate passed its first piece of major legislation this Congress with my bill -- the GENIUS Act.
With GENIUS, the United States is one step closer to becoming the crypto capital of the world. (1/7)
confidentiality should be a fundamental tool for building onchain
and the experience should be seamless
introducing Inco Lightning, a solution enabling developers to build confidential apps on existing blockchains
now live on @base Sepolia ⚡⚡⚡
In the past week:
• Trump announced USD1
• Fidelity confirmed their own stablecoin
• Bitso dropped a peso-backed stable for LatAm
• The first U.S. bank-issued stablecoin went live on Ethereum
• Congress advanced the GENIUS Act to regulate the space
• A senator warned that yield-bearing stables could kill banking
• Andre Cronje teased a 19% APY algo stable
Let the stable wars begin.
50% moves don't mean anything. The crypto market is not the stock market.
Crypto investments are 20x + if they work or zero if they don't.
Plan accordingly.
