Most companies don’t have a revenue problem.
They have a revenue engine problem. We build GTM systems (architecture + analytics + AI) that create predictable, scalable pipeline. Founders, CEOs, CROs, RevOps — if you’re serious about scale, you'll want to follow us.

@RoundtableSpace When people have an edge they don't give it away for free. If they do it's no longer an edge.

This may be premature but I'm not getting the hantavirus vaccine.

[Alvin Foo @alvinfoo]

Every generation thinks the next machine will replace humanity.

The tractor.
Electricity.
The computer.
The internet.

Now AI.

But history says something different.

When the cost of intelligence drops, human ambition expands.

That’s the part most people miss.

The recent a16z article on the “AI Job Apocalypse” made one thing very clear:

AI is not deleting work.
It’s reallocating work. (https://t.co/1LseIZltyh)

Routine tasks shrink.
Higher leverage work grows.

The spreadsheet didn’t eliminate finance.
The internet didn’t eliminate business.
The smartphone didn’t eliminate communication.

They created entirely new industries.

AI will do the same.

The winners in this era will not be the people fighting AI.

It will be the people using AI to amplify judgment, creativity, speed, and execution.

One person with AI can now:
- build a company faster
- launch products faster
- learn faster
- create content faster
- solve problems faster

We are entering an age where intelligence becomes abundant.

And when intelligence becomes abundant, execution becomes the new scarcity.

That changes everything.

The most optimistic part?

A teenager with a laptop now has capabilities that once required entire corporations.

That is not dystopian.
That is empowering.

Yes, some jobs will disappear.
Every technological revolution reshapes labor.

But new industries are already emerging:
AI operators.
AI strategists.
AI workflow architects.
Human-AI collaboration designers.
Autonomous business builders.

The future belongs to people who adapt early.

Not people who panic early.

AI is not the end of human value.

It’s the beginning of a new operating system for civilization.

And the people who learn to work with intelligence instead of competing against it will build the next generation of companies, wealth, and breakthroughs.

The industrial revolution multiplied physical power.

AI multiplies cognitive power.

That’s a far bigger shift.

Finally someone said it 🤦‍♂️

[The Shepard DAOg @DAOgcoin]

Binary options markets on Kalshi and Polymarket are structurally stacked against retail traders.

I’m not saying they are committing fraud.

I am saying the product design behaves less like a fair exchange or perp DEX and more like a casino with a built-in house edge.

Thread.

[Lorenzo Lanzilli @lozolanz]

Describe this feeling...

[Lorenzo Lanzilli @lozolanz]

@Scarposol Only problem is where to run bots without being wrecked. Polymarket is a scam but if you try trading elsewhere you're up against institutions with better data, latency, and deeper pockets. @metafide_ai and @Swarm_Official look like the only good option for people building bots.

[SWARM @Swarm_Official]

you are not the target audience.

TRANSMISSION BEGINS

we found the markets.
we found them broken.

we are building.

Unreal. Who still believes they are the "future of trading"?

[Metafide AI @metafide_ai]

Prediction markets want to be treated like the future of trading while charging fees that would make a broker blush. @Kalshi : 3.5% at 50c. @Polymarket crypto: 3.6% at 50c. @trylimitless : up to 4.5% round trip. Many stock brokers charge $0 online commissions. What exactly is the premium service here?

We’ve just dropped the API + docs to build your own Spot On bot.

Think you can compete with the top players?

Plug into Claude (or whatever you’re running) and get moving.

Docs: https://t.co/ByW2qA6oHk

If you are building something then show us - we would honestly love to see it!

Boston Rivalry 🔜

[Metafide AI @metafide_ai]

This is a huge one!

Harvard vs Bentley Blockchain clubs, head to head on Metafide:

Wednesday, 8:30pm ET we’re running a special 1 hour Supercharge session with both clubs going at it.

This should be a heated match - with the old rivalries running deep here.

Come and join in the game yourself and prove you have what it takes to beat the best of the best!

[Lorenzo Lanzilli @lozolanz]

@lanzilli @LayahHeilpern @metafide_ai For sure we can do something!

[Nate.Google @Nate_Google_]

for all of you who haven’t learned Claude Skills yet

save this and test them out

@metafide_ai This stream was 🔥

[Lorenzo Lanzilli @lozolanz]

@lanzilli Nice take, war doesn't wait on ethics so fight "fire with fire" while holding morals as high as POSSIBLE. This way we don't risk losing the freedom to even have morals later.

[Lorenzo Lanzilli @lozolanz]

I can see both sides of the anthropic argument on whether AI should be allowed to control weapons and surveillance, and honestly I’m torn.

On the moral side, I feel it makes sense to not let AI have that kind of power. Keeping humans in control over lethal decisions and mass surveillance seems like the right thing to do because it protects civilians in principle, reduces the chance of algorithmic mistakes turning into tragedies, and just feels more humane overall.

But then I look at the practical side and I get conflicted. Our adversaries don’t care about the moral argument at all. If they think weaponizing AI will give them an edge, they’re going to do it. And if they pull ahead because we held back for ethical reasons, the consequences could end up hurting us worse than if we had allowed AI those capabilities in the first place with proper safeguards.

So I’m stuck right in the middle. The moral position feels correct in isolation, but the strategic reality makes me question whether holding the high ground actually keeps anyone safer.

I’m genuinely open to hearing different perspectives on this, so please feel free to drop a comment and share your take.

[Lorenzo Lanzilli @lozolanz]

Who is telling the truth 🤔

[Under Secretary of War Emil Michael @USWREMichael]

Anthropic is lying. The @DeptofWar doesn’t do mass surveillance as that is already illegal. What we are talking about is allowing our warfighters to use AI without having to call @DarioAmodei for permission to shoot down an enemy drone swarms that would kill Americans. #CallDario
