I want anti-anti-@cluely. I want to know that a candidate is AI-maxxing, instead of rawdogging where it’s not necessary. If they’re not AI-maxxing on their task - I don’t want them
1500 applications!
Only 30 available spots, prioritizing enterprise decision makers for this one, but clearly gonna need to do more Claude Code Workshops around the country.
This guy made 40 Facebook ads, 100 landing pages, booked himself on 4 podcasts, and wrote 3 guest blog posts. In a single day.
People called him a fraud. There was literally a Polymarket bet on whether he's a con artist.
So i asked him to prove it live. And he did.
Here's @codyschneider's actual system for AI-enabled paid marketing:
1) He uses Perplexity to search Reddit for his ICP's actual pain points in their own words. Not what he thinks they care about, what they've literally said online.
2) He feeds those pain points into Claude, which generates 40 ad variations, titles, supporting copy, and the actual creative using React components exported as PNGs via a library called HTML-to-canvas.
3) He tests all 40 variations in a CPC campaign on Meta. $100 over 3 days. Cheapest cost-per-click wins.
4) Winners get matched landing pages. He uses an open-source CMS called Strapi connected to Claude Code via API, so he bulk-generates a landing page for every winning ad angle. Same headline on the ad and the page = higher conversion.
5) Once he finds a winning concept, he scales it — AI avatar UGC via HeyGen, upgraded with V3, and only brings in a human creator if the AI version plateaus.
The whole thing runs on Claude Code + APIs + a .env file with all his keys.
No engineering team. Just him on multiple desktops with multiple Claude agents running simultaneously.
His best line: "you're not just hiring me anymore. you're hiring me and the 30 agents behind me and all the personal software i've built."
If you want your generations to feel designed and not…generated

Have met two founders in SF this month. Both fraud:
1. Is subletting a rented apartment and showing that as revenue for his startup
2. Is claiming Amazon and Google are clients who have signed LOIs when they have never even heard of them
What’s common among them? Both desi men 😞 Beware of these people!
After 10 years doing what I do when deciding on new projects or products to build I ask one question:
Am I uniquely suited positioned to do this? Could someone else do this with higher chance of success?
If so, I do not want to do.
Play rigged games.
Do you ever think that since 90% of AI in fiction ends up doing bad things, our AI will be Generally Pre-Trained to behave in a similar way because “this sequence is most likely” 👀

@AcquiredFM was cool and all, but it tried to be too many things at once - conference, keynote, podcast (all within 3 hours)
I would��ve rather just listened for 3 hour conversation with @finkd or @eldsjal
But overall, first of many (hopefully)
What users say they want and what users pay for.
Seeing that most VPN ads are now selling “Unlock Netflix from Slovakia” instead of “protect your privacy online”, goes to show how important it is to properly filter user feedback and what will they pay for. Privacy or content?
