A cucumber with huge anxiety.

[GREG ISENBERG @gregisenberg]

WebMCP by Microsoft and Google is HERE and I'm surprised more people aren't talking about it.

Why does it matter?

BILLIONS of dollars are about to move through agents, and the internet isn't built for them yet.

1. SEO was about Google understanding your page.
2. AEO was about AI citing you.
3. WebMCP is about the agent actually finishing the job (buying, researching, requesting quote etc).

WebMCP is basically websites with agent buttons.

Instead of an agent scanning a page like a human, screenshotting and guessing where to click, the site just tells it "here's how to search, here's how to book, here's how to buy."

2 cash flowing businesses you could start today using WebMCP:

1. A WebMCP conversion agency

Make boring business websites agent-ready. Law firms, HVAC, med spas, dentists. Build them the first tools (request a quote, book a consult), sell the setup for $2k, then charge a few hundred a month to monitor and improve it.

2. An agent mystery shopper.

Test whether agents can actually complete the important journeys on someone's site, buying the hoodie, booking the consult, filing the claim. Hand them a report on where the agent got stuck, missing tools, bad descriptions, lost conversions. Charge monthly, then turn the repeated fixes into software.

You'll learn what WebMCP really is, see examples of it IN ACTION, and hear more about 2 startup ideas using WebMCP you can start today.

WebMCP is pretty cool.

Watch.

@AppleSupport Update: still broken on 26.6.2 No Shutdown event in pmset log — just another boot. Survived 5 point releases (26.5 → 26.6.2). Same nearbyd hang, ~1%/hr or more drain. FB23594827 / FB23666296 still open.
@AppleSupport

[Tanvir Khan @tanvirShuchi]

My MacBook Air M2 won't fully power off — loses ~1%/hr or more battery while 'shut down.' Reproduced in Safe Mode, across macOS 26.5 and 26.6. Filed FB23594827 and FB23666296 with sysdiagnose months ago, no response.

@AppleSupport can someone look at this?

[DAN KOE @thedankoe]

The fastest way to become articulate on a topic is to write until you're no longer confused.

[Tanvir Khan @tanvirShuchi]

@AppleSupport

[Tanvir Khan @tanvirShuchi]

@AppleSupport M2 Air on 26.6.2 — Shut Down completes logout but never powers off. nearbyd holds a stuck transaction, machine drains ~1%/hr while looking dead. Reproduced in Safe Mode and via Terminal, across four macOS versions. FB report filed with sysdiagnose — NO response yet.

[Tanvir Khan @tanvirShuchi]

@AppleSupport Notice what's missing? Not a single "Shutdown" event between any boot. The machine boots, I select Shut Down, and the next thing in the log is another boot — no record of ever powering off. Every "shutdown" is just the machine hanging until I turn it back on.

[Tanvir Khan @tanvirShuchi]

@AppleSupport Here's my Mac's entire recent boot history from pmset -g log:

2026-08-18 18:45:11 — powerd process is started
2026-08-19 13:45:58 — powerd process is started

[Tanvir Khan @tanvirShuchi]

@AppleSupport The finish line — every app quit, every daemon reaped, disks unmounted — and stalls at the very last step: the kernel-to-power-controller handoff, with nearbyd holding a stuck transaction as the last thing alive. This is deep inside macOS, not any third-party app.

[Tanvir Khan @tanvirShuchi]

@AppleSupport That's nearbyd (AirDrop/Handoff/UWB proximity) holding an unreleased transaction created ~36 hours earlier. After that line — silence. No power-off. The machine just hangs.

[Tanvir Khan @tanvirShuchi]

@AppleSupport The very last log entry before the machine goes dark:

nearbyd: Remaining transactions after SIGTERM: 1
os_transaction: 'https://t.co/GC2iLwCNZW.nearbyd.ni-assertion', created 128957 sec ago.

[Tanvir Khan @tanvirShuchi]

Dug into the sysdiagnose. The shutdown completes almost entirely — launchd kills every daemon, WindowServer exits, network extensions exit cleanly, diskarbitrationd unmounts all disks. The whole user-space teardown finishes correctly. Then the power-off just doesn't happen.

🚨El ingeniero que diseñó Claude Code acaba de publicar un video de 28 minutos que te va a reescribir por completo cómo usas la inteligencia artificial

Olvídate de los prompts genéricos que todo el mundo repite. Aquí te muestra cómo escribir los que de verdad sacan el máximo de Claude

He pagado cursos de 300 dólares que no llegan ni a la mitad de lo que este tipo explica en los primeros 10 minutos

Archivos CLAUDE.md, atajos de memoria, sesiones paralelas y patrones de prompting que dejan obsoletos casi todo lo que creías saber

Todo en un solo video… y totalmente gratis

No importa si acabas de empezar, si programas todo el día o si ya llevas meses usando Claude

Esto te va a llevar a un nivel que ni siquiera sabías que existía

16 things that will be normal in 3 years and sound insane today

1. Somebody's entire job is making sure your agents don't do dumb things.

2. Kids grow up assuming any adult who types is old, the way we assume anyone who prints emails is old.

3. You get an itemized bill for what your agents bought last month and it reads like an expense report from a small company.

4. Someone you've never met sells you a business that runs itself, and you never learn what the code does.

5. Your doctor's first opinion comes from a model, and the human's job is deciding whether to trust it.

6. Job posts will say "must be able to manage agents" the same way they used to say "proficient in Excel."

7. The best-paid person at a company will be whoever's best at explaining the business to machines.

8. Your company has more agents than employees, and HR manages both.

9. Companies start hiding how few employees they have, because a lean team reads as fragile to enterprise buyers.

10. Your calendar fills with meetings you didn't schedule, because your agent and their agent worked it out.

11. The CV dies and gets replaced by a body of work an agent can verify in 4 seconds.

12. You interview an agent before you hire it. Give it a fake task, watch how it handles the weird cases, then decide.

13. Losing your job means losing your agents too, and it's kinda scary losing your best agents.

14. "Made by a person" becomes a label on products, and there's a certification body for it.

15. You'll have a folder of agents the way you have a folder of apps

16. Getting a human on the phone becomes a paid tier, and people gladly pay it.

[GREG ISENBERG @gregisenberg]

So let me get this straight....

1. Agents are about to outnumber humans on the internet, so most of the traffic, transactions, and conversations online will soon be machines talking to other machines while we sleep.

2. Superintelligence exists now, and for $20/mo you pretty much get it all.

3. Cloud agents allow you to run a business 24/7 and from literally a phone while you're waiting to order a latte.

4. Voice AI is wide open. This industry has barely changed since the 90s. Infinite opportunities. Voice AI is finally getting good enough.

5. Mobile apps are interesting again for the first time in 10 years, because an AI-first app that thinks and acts on its own is a different species than the passive ones in the store today. There are kids doing $100k/MRR.

6. It's the golden age of open source. The models you download off Hugging Face for free and own forever are landing within months of the ones behind paywalls, so the smartest thing on earth can't be throttled, priced up, or shut off by a company having a bad quarter.

7. The keyboard is on its way out. We spent 40 years learning to type fast, and it's about to feel like handwriting, because soon you just talk and the computer goes and does it.

8. Every company is about to hire agents with their own logins, their own inboxes, their own track records, and a shadow economy is forming where agents pay, hire, and vouch for other agents.

9. Software stopped being something you buy and became something you rent by the hour. The whole industry is repricing from $50 a seat to thousands per outcome. Tons of opportunity.

10. Robots are about to have the moment software agents just had. The intelligence got solved. Now it's dropping into machines with arms and legs, and the people who can wire AI into hardware are about to be the most fought-over hires on earth.

11. The 10-person startup can now out-ship the 500-person company, and everyone can feel it happening.

12. Every white-collar task is getting a "do it for me" button, and most people haven't pressed it yet.

13. Data you've been sitting on for years is suddenly worth something, because now an agent can actually use it.

14. Language stopped being a barrier. Real-time translation that actually works means the next huge consumer app might get built for a market you can't even read, by someone you'll never meet.

15. Every SOP is turning into a product. The way a business does one thing, written down as a markdown file an agent can run, is now something you can sell. Knowledge that used to live in someone's head became downloadable.

16. The moat moved from what you know to how well your business is written down. The company an agent can actually run wins, so being legible beats being big.

17. Since agents will get scammed by other agents, a whole trust layer has to get built. The Yelp for agents. The escrow for machines. Wide open.

18. You keep the whole thing now. A business that needed 50 people to hit $10M needs 3 and some agents, so instead of splitting it 200 ways with investors, it's just yours.

19. Search engines minted a generation of millionaires and billionaires. LLM search is about to do it all over again. Billions of eyeballs are moving off Google and onto ChatGPT, so being the answer inside the models is the new front page.

20. The margins are stupid. You charge someone what they'd pay a human, and it costs you a few bucks in tokens. That gap used to go to payroll. Now it goes to you.

Any one of these would DEFINE a decade on its own.

We got ALL of them at once, stacked on top of each other in the same 18 months.

It's a magical time to be building.

You don't need to overthink it.

Build.

[GREG ISENBERG @gregisenberg]

Every AI right now is a "yes man", and I'm soooo tired of it. Maybe you are too.

I don't want an LLM that claps for everything I do.

I want the one that tells me my writing is weak, my logic falls apart halfway through, and I've been lying to myself about the thing I keep dodging.

You can engineer an AI with a spine. Here's the exact setup I use:

1. Write a "critic" skill. A markdown file whose only job is to attack the work. It hunts for the weakest claim, the dodged question, the thing you're avoiding. Every agent that loads it gets a spine by default.

2. Run two agents against each other. One builds, one tears it apart. The builder has to defend or fix. You get the truth from the friction instead of from a single agent trying to please you.

3. Score against evals. Give it a rubric with real criteria and have it rate the work 1-10 on each. A number tied to a standard forces honesty that "what do you think?" will always dance around.

4. Make it cite evidence for every criticism. Set a rule: no critique without a concrete example from the work and a reason it matters. It has to show its work, so it can flatter you or hand wave.

5. Give it a kill criterion. Tell it the exact condition where it has to recommend you stop entirely. "If X isn't true, tell me to shut this down." Most agents will optimize a doomed idea forever because you gave them permission to call it dead.

I've learned that the default AI claps for you.

That's cool for a bit but it gets old quick.

If you actually want to build exceptional products, create top 1% work, and grow as a person, you need an AI that pushes you harder than it flatters you.

We're in the age of agency. The people who win are the ones who go build the version that tells them the truth.

Best time to build there's ever been. Go get 'em.

[DAN KOE @thedankoe]

Your attention works fine. You don't need to "fix" it. You just don't have a target that makes it easy to focus for months on end. You don't have a vision so strong that everything else becomes boring.

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

We’ve received notice that the Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5.

We'll begin restoring access tomorrow, and will share an update soon.

We’re grateful to our users for their patience, and to everyone who worked with us on redeploying the models.

[Big Brain AI @realBigBrainAI]

How do you teach an AI to be good? Amanda Askell, Anthropic's philosopher, models Claude's character on the conduct of an ideal person.

UN DESARROLLADOR CHINO MONTO UN SISTEMA DE AGENCIA IMPULSADO POR CLAUDE CODE PARA VENDER SITIOS WEB A PEQUEÑAS EMPRESAS.

SIRVE A UNOS 47 CLIENTES AL MES Y COBRA 400 DOLARES POR CADA UNO.

EL SISTEMA FUNCIONA ASI:

- RECORRE CIUDAD POR CIUDAD GOOGLE MAPS.
- ENCUENTRA NEGOCIOS QUE NO TIENEN PAGINA WEB.
- DESCARTA LOS QUE TIENEN SITIOS QUE PARECEN DE 2014.
- GENERA AUTOMATICAMENTE UN MOCKUP DE LANDING PAGE PARA CADA UNO.
- PRODUCE UN VIDEO PROMOCIONAL.
- ESCRIBE UN MENSAJE DE VENTA LISTO PARA USAR.

TODO ESTO LO HACEN 7 AGENTES:

- SCOUT: EXPLORA UNOS 220 NEGOCIOS AL DIA.
- DIAGNOSER: HACE UN DIAGNOSTICO PERSONALIZADO Y GENERA EL MENSAJE PARA CADA LEAD.
- BUILDER: PREPARA 3-5 LANDING PAGES COMPLETAS PARA LOS MEJORES CANDIDATOS.
- FILMER: CREA UN VIDEO VERTICAL DE 10 SEGUNDOS POR CADA PROPUESTA.
- PITCHER: ENVIA 30 MENSAJES AL DIA POR 4 CANALES DIFERENTES.
- CHECKER: REVISA AUTOMATICAMENTE LOS MENSAJES ANTES DE ENVIARLOS.
- MOBILE AGENT: VIVE DIRECTAMENTE EN EL IPHONE.

EL DUEÑO RESPONDE A LOS LEADS MIENTRAS VA EN EL METRO, EN TAXI O CAMINANDO. SI SURGE UN CLIENTE INTERESANTE, AGENDA UNA REUNION POR CALENDLY Y DEVUELVE EL CASO A LA COLA.

LO UNICO QUE HACE EL ES:
- PULSAR “APROBAR”.
- IR A LA REUNION.
- COBRAR EL DINERO.

Y LO MAS LOCO ES ESTO:

NO TIENE BACKEND PROPIO, NI GRAN EQUIPO, NI ARQUITECTURA DE SERVIDORES.
SOLO USA:
- UN SANDBOX LOCAL.
- CLAUDE CODE ROUTER.
- SERVIDORES MCP.
- ESTADO COMPARTIDO MEDIANTE EL SISTEMA DE ARCHIVOS.
- UNA CLAVE API.
- EL TELEFONO QUE LLEVA EN EL BOLSILLO.

MIENTRAS LAS AGENCIAS TRADICIONALES MONTAN UN EQUIPO ENTERO PARA HACER LO MISMO, EL COSTE REAL DE ESTE TIPO SON SOLO LOS TOKENS + LAS SUSCRIPCIONES A LOVABLE, HIGGSFIELD Y CALENDLY.

GASTO PROMEDIO EN APIS: UNOS 480 DOLARES AL MES.
INGRESOS: 18.800 DOLARES.
7 PROMPTS + 1 SISTEMA DE ARCHIVOS + 1 TELEFONO.

PARA MI, ESTE ES EL EJEMPLO MAS LIMPIO DE “AGENCIA DE AUTOMATIZACION UNIPERSONAL” QUE HE VISTO ESTE AÑO.

GUARDALO, PORQUE EN UNOS MESES TODO EL MUNDO VA A INTENTAR COPIARLO.

Aca abajo te dejo como configurarlo
