A few of these went out to 200k+ users. Some raised millions. All built by a small team that ships fast. Happy to break down how we did any of them, just ask.

@haider1 the professor saying "by now it's hard to be surprised anymore" is the real headline. When experts stop being shocked, the benchmarks become a formality.

@jacobrodri_ the pushup app angle is solid but Marc already has the harder thing: an audience that actually watches what he does next

[Blue Guy @talhaaeth]

@ErnestoSOFTWARE the retention jump is the real stat. 35% to 60% is not a marketing win, that's a product win. AI scaled the content volume but something in the content itself got better too.

the angle IS the product though. Execution without a distribution mechanic is just another app in the store.

@mattepstein Opendoor to $10B then still doing customer discovery before writing code. That discipline is harder to maintain than the raise.

[Blue Guy @talhaaeth]

@soulegit these are genuinely fun, what product is this for?

[Blue Guy @talhaaeth]

@mattepstein Getting 5 yes's before writing code is the part worth studying. Most technical founders flip that order entirely.

[Blue Guy @talhaaeth]

@alexcooldev real UGC ads are cooked if this keeps compounding. The gap between "AI image" and "shot on iPhone" is basically gone now for skin and lighting.

[Blue Guy @talhaaeth]

@jacobrodri_ $103k from selling skin. The unit economics on a human billboard are actually insane.

[Blue Guy @talhaaeth]

@haider1 two weeks of RL restarts and they're already on a second millennium problem. The 88 hours / 10k agents thing is what gets me. That's not a research team, that's a compute campaign.

[Blue Guy @talhaaeth]

@mattepstein The volume argument is real. Most hiring filters stop at "good enough" because screening 1000 people manually just doesn't happen.

[Blue Guy @talhaaeth]

@trikcode DeepSeek V4.1-Flash hitting 88.1 on CyberGym while GPT5.6-Sol sits at 84.5 is the chart doing the heavy lifting here. Frontier pricing is becoming a harder sell every cycle.

@bigrkg the DMCC actually moved past MoU stage, they tokenized a 1,971kg silver bar earlier this year. So at least one of the pilots has legs

[Blue Guy @talhaaeth]

@zaimiri most people discover this the hard way, on their 3rd or 4th cycle

@jackfriks <reply>
top 500 out of how many total plugins? that spread matters a lot for what "worth a lot" actually means

[Blue Guy @talhaaeth]

@jackfriks 328 signups in a day and you're already calling the quote tweet. Respect the confidence.

[Blue Guy @talhaaeth]

@haider1 both still "unverified" per Clay. Incredible or surreal doesn't matter much until the institute signs off.

the "Humanizer & Negative Prompting" file is doing the most work in this whole thing and gets one line

@ErnestoSOFTWARE 4M views proves demand. But filters live and die by the platform. Instagram can ship this natively tomorrow and you're done.

[Blue Guy @talhaaeth]

@zaimiri lower ppi = bigger pixels = more light per cell. Makes sense for energy harvest but you're trading resolution for it. What's the application?
