@leonclipping Wow

[Leon @leonclipping]

this guy is fucking cracked

he made a fitness page with an AI generated masked character as the face, drops simple strength / workout slideshows and then funnels everyone into a $19/month workout blueprint on skool

never shows his face
never films a single workout
doesn't need a personal brand

just:
-> one AI character
-> actually useful training content
-> same visual style on every post
-> skool link in bio

the page is sitting at 45k followers with 405 members paying monthly

one made-up masked guy is now the face of a whole recurring revenue fitness brand

this is the AI content i actually rate, not the random slop everyone else is posting

[Leon @leonclipping]

26.6% of viral x articles is about ai, more than crypto and politics combined

[Leon @leonclipping]

the DIFFERENCE is crazy...

this girl might be a fucking genius

she built a relationship page around the same couple photo on every post, posts simple "rules we made after a fight" slideshows and then plugs an AI advice app on the last slide

no face
no filming
no audience needed
just:
-> one stock couple pic
-> relatable relationship content
-> same slideshow format every post
-> app plug as a "bonus tip"

the page only has 524 followers and it's already at 343k+ likes, top post did 1.7M views

she basically turned one beach photo into a full app distribution channel

this is the kind of slideshow use case i find way more interesting than random AI slop

Reproduce the layered yellow-gold necklaces, ornate pendant details, gold wristwatch, stacked gold bangles, sculptural flower-shaped ring, and glossy nude almond manicure. Dress her in a warm ivory / creamy champagne plunging sleeveless wrap-style dress with a very deep V neckline, softly gathered textured fabric, and elegant ruching. Keep the white perforated leather seats, pale dashboard, metallic circular vents, infotainment screen, steering-wheel edge, panoramic sunroof, vivid blue sky, green foliage, pale exterior wall, and bright sunny daylight visible.

@leonclipping Broski been dropping some sauce lately

[Leon @leonclipping]

how app founders are quietly hitting $10k/mo with tiktok slideshows

3 days, 4-6 hours each. that's the whole setup
after that you're sitting on 2+ months of content

day 1: 1 hour of competitor research on tiktok

-> save the slideshows that actually blew up
-> write down every hook
-> note how they sneak in the CTA
-> figure out why you kept swiping

day 2: pinterest. build a reference library for every slide type

day 3: claude code + an image API turns those references into hundreds of original variations

claude writes the slide copy too, so 3-4 winning concepts become 100s of posts

then socialclaw schedules everything across your tiktok accounts

10 accounts
2 posts a day each
20 shots at distribution every single day

most of them flop
some die under 300 views

but a few catch and do 50k, 200k, 500k, sometimes 1M+

my best one did 3M

the reason it converts: nobody feels sold to

the first slides are just content people want to swipe through
the app shows up near the end as the obvious fix

once it's running you're testing hundreds of hooks and visuals without making a single post by hand

i put the full system (hooks, slide formats, prompts, posting schedule) in a free guide:

anthropic just made every other model look expensive

claude opus 5.5 dropped and it runs at fable 5.1 level on most tasks

for 40% less than opus 5

so the thing you were paying top dollar for last week is now the cheap option

we are so early it's stupid

[max @maxscaless]

@leonclipping Sheesh

[Leon @leonclipping]

anthropic dropped opus 5.5 and openai IMMEDIATELY answered with gpt-6 sol + luna

both cut prices on the same f*cking day

opus 5.5: 40% cheaper than opus 5
gpt-6 sol + luna: 50% cheaper than 5.6

they are ABSOLUTELY MURDERING each other on price and we're the ones winning

compute is getting cheap faster than anyone can build on it

the most valuable comment a game studio can get is "what game is this"

a player who hunted your game down converts nothing like one you pushed a download button at

this article breaks down how clippers get thousands of those comments on purpose
