88% of 2026 AI funding went to US startups. if you're building outside that number, the play isn't to chase it. it's the opposite: build close to a customer who pays you, not close to a VC who might.

@danielkcode Higgsfield still working?

[LUIS CASTILLO @lrcastillof]

Two days in China and I haven't touched my wallet once. Everything runs through a phone tap. What strikes it's how invisible it feels. The best infra disappears.

[abhijeet @abhjtanand]

what's stopping you from working like this?

[LUIS CASTILLO @lrcastillof]

@thdxr Just the best loyalty program out there. Autom mkt, costumer behaviour analist , etc. Check it out yourselves: https://t.co/KKB6W2Qp2b

paid for street food today at a stall with no register, no terminal, no cash box. a laminated QR code taped to a pole. the west keeps announcing the future of payments while here it´s been boring for years

[LUIS CASTILLO @lrcastillof]

i've shipped AI tools for companies and a couple of govs. here's what nobody
tells you:

- 90% of the work is deciding what NOT to automate
- "it works in the demo" and "it works in production" are different things
- the client doesn't want AI. they want to stop worrying.

[LUIS CASTILLO @lrcastillof]

@uixhassan One of the few people who actually get design and refuse to settle for generic AI slop

[LUIS CASTILLO @lrcastillof]

stop trying to build a product people love.

build the one thing they hate doing, and do it for them.

the best business i saw this month charges $40/mo to rename and file your invoices.
that's it. no delight, no magic. just "i never think about this again."

[LUIS CASTILLO @lrcastillof]

@appmaxxing What's your app?

[LUIS CASTILLO @lrcastillof]

That's why we don't do free trials either. A client won't care unless they commit with their wallet.

[Will @athcanft]

i charge $300 for an hour of my time because it is legitimately not worth it otherwise

also - you might just actually fucking listen to me when you’ve got skin in the game

ways to realize that someone doesn't work: has a 60% keyboard

Copying a wallet, specially one as fast and volatile as BTC trading doesn't work due to latency. Quit larping.

[cvxv666 @antpalkin]

You could literally:

> Open a Polymarket account
> Deposit $20
> Copy one Chinese quant's wallet
> Let his BTC simulation pick trade
> Sleep through the 7,500% profit bet
> Wake up with $166,000

Start doing it right now: https://t.co/MD25OOSmzS

@zerqfer And then you woke up

AI larping has reached new heights

[Luke The Dev @iamlukethedev]

If your OpenClaw agents don’t go to the gym,
something is wrong with your setup.

Just added a gym to the 3D office.

When agents are learning or developing new skills,
they go train.

Even AI engineers need leg day. 🏋️

[LUIS CASTILLO @lrcastillof]

To reach this level you don't even need to solve a pain point. A self-service vitamin + meta ads will get you there.

[neppy @neppy]

$150k per year is just 500 users paying $25 per month btw
