I have pictures, movies in my head. I see a world so bright and beautiful, but sometimes the vision gets muddy. I lose my way.
I would be the happiest person if I could bring any of them into reality. Working on my ideas brings me the most happiness. This is the dream, the ideal life.

"It took me three months to design it, but it's nine months until I can actually start to use it."
Former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger on the manufacturing bottleneck between designing hardware with AI and actually getting it built:
"Let's say we're off to do a great new chip together, the one that's gonna leap ahead because we have understanding of the AI workloads... And let's say we turn our AI tools loose. Within three months we have an awesome design."
"[But] we still have like a couple of really major bottlenecks today. One is we still have nine months of silicon processing time... So I can design the thing in three months, but I can't actually get it into real silicon at scale for nine months."
"We have to really see that bottleneck improve if we're gonna have this innovation."
"If it takes me a year and a half until I actually get scale and software on it, my understanding of the AI workloads is no longer applicable to the chip that I designed."
"All of those aspects somewhat obviate the fact that AI has made the design piece easy. All of those manufacturing scale issues to me become a huge bottleneck."

people are starting to realize.
there *are* no moats left. the only true moat in existence was intelligence, and now that's out of the equation.

I'd call this a bubble in a bubble
Tech people somehow still think normies are not spinning up personal software already
They're not doing it in Claude Code in a terminal like tech people for sure
But their AI chat app is already doing it for them without them even realizing they're building personal software, like generating PDF reports, full web app dashboards and even entire web apps
That will keep getting more advanced and soon ChatGPT will just spin up a Photoshop clone (but ofc only if they need it, preferring to just do their photo edits for them)
Everyone will mostly use personal ephemeral software inside AI chat apps I think
Some software moats will remain like social media (community), ecommerce (think like Shopify and Stripe), etc but they will just be used by AI to build the personal software with
So maybe that's the point here, become a tool agents use to solve their user's problems and charge agents for it (like many are saying)
i actually think there's a huge opportunity here
we're so caught up in our indie hacker bubble that we forget most people have no clue how any of this works
the average person doesn't want to build their own software, they just want something that works
i think who's buying software is shifting more than software itself

As I posted before, I've cancelled almost all of the SaaS subscriptions for my business
The only thing I still pay for as a business:
- AI inference
- Hetzner server hosting
- Cloudflare storage
- Backblaze backups
- Taxes
Now I started cancelling personal subscriptions too and just vibecoding my own versions or using Claude to take an open source project that does the same and then customize it for myself
All I still pay for personally is:
- Claude Code
- YouTube (content)
- Spotify (content)
- Starlink (internet)
- Phone eSIM
- Personal cloud storage
- Electricity and water (utility)
- Taxes
So if we summarize it for both, I only still pay for:
- AI inference
- Content
- Cloud storage & hosting
- Connectivity
- Electricity & water
- Taxes
So to summarize all my money now goes to:
- Content
- Data centers
- Power plants + water
- Governments
I think we'll be facing a tidal wave of cancellations once people find out how much money they can save
It's just how the economy works
the fundamental basic economics misunderstanding that ppl have esp on here is that they think normal ppl need to use models to build their own software to be disrupted. they obviously don't & they obviously won’t.
but even if just 1% of the population can build software, that's enough to flood the entire supply side with millions of new products collapsing the cost to near zero.
you absolutely don't need universal adoption to destroy scarcity. you just need enough producers to overwhelm demand. you can feel this now already. i never pay for software because i just ask claude to point to something like a chrome extension or a mac app & it’s just there. at some point your agents will also auto update & maintain your software automatically too.

Søren Kierkegaard on the Importance of Walking
“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday, I walk myself into a state of well-being & walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still, & the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right.”

North Korea sends troops to wage war in Europe. Iran sends Shahed drones and missiles to Russia to wage war in Europe, and IRGC trainers to Crimea to show them how to use the drones. China helps Russia evade sanctions to wage war in Europe and now, per Reuters, even trains Russian troops to wage war in Europe. Ukraine hits one Iranian cargo ship carrying military equipment and suddenly wars are merging and it might even be World War III.
NEW from @nytimes: Don't call it World War III — yet. But Ukraine's strike on an Iranian ship shows how the two wars could merge into one cataclysmic conflict across Eurasia and the Middle East. Zelensky talks about common elements of both wars, and he met with Trump this week.

Narrative violation!
AI will take jobs but not careers. We also went deep on open source adoption.

The US federal budget is $7 trillion.
There are 535 in the Senate and Congress.
They collectively allocate that money.
Specifically: 7000/535 = 13 billion per official.
Which means AOC is a political billionaire.
She allocates far more than any market billionaire.
Indeed she allocates ten billion liquid, per year.
A market billionaire has one billion, illiquid, per life.
So: AOC spends 10-100X what a market billionaire has.
It's not even close.
She's right about one thing, though.
AOC didn't earn the tens of billions she spends.
The state taxed that money, by force.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: You can't earn a billion dollars.
Ilana Glazer: That's right.
AOC: You just can't earn that.
Glazer: That's exactly correct.
AOC: You can get market power. You can break rules. You can do all sorts of things. You can abuse labor laws.
Glazer: Yup.
AOC: You can pay people less than what they're worth.
Glazer: Yup.
AOC: But you can't earn that, right?
Glazer: That's right.
AOC: And so you have to create a myth that -- since you didn't earn that, you have to create a myth of earning it.
Musk’s SpaceX just paid $60 billion for Cursor.
He paid $44 billion for Twitter.
Cursor: 4 years old, 1 million daily active users.
Twitter: 16 years old, 238 million users.
AI Valuations are ridiculous. Wild times!

Just to be clear, if you remove Fable which is unavaialble, GLM-5.2 (Max) is the #1 model in the world for frontend coding.
This is a huge moment. OSS has caught up with proprietary, and China has caught up with the US, in this very important domain.
Exciting news: GLM-5.2 (Max) ranks #2 in Code Arena: Frontend, with +29pt over Claude Opus 4.7 (Thinking) and only behind Fable 5! GLM-5.2 is the best open model vs Kimi-K2.6 and Minimax-M3 by a large margin.
- #2 React and #4 HTML sub-leaderboards
- Ranks as the top model in nearly all sub categories: Brand & Marketing, Reference-Based Design, Data & Analytics, Consumer Product, Gaming, and Simulations.
Congrats @Zai_org for the incredible milestone!

GPT-Realtime-2 is something new
GPT-Realtime 2 is the future of the operating system.
I've been experimenting with it for a couple weeks now, and I gotta say, it's pretty gosh darn incredible.
Opening apps, searching the web, even editing in Premiere. All with just my voice.
And it only takes a few prompts to set up.
In this video I'll show you exactly how.

Google is basically saying:
“We’ve cut the quantum resources needed to break Bitcoin’s encryption by 20x. We can now break it. We can prove it. We’re just not going to tell you how.
We’ve slowed down research to give crypto a chance. You have until 2029 to figure out a solution. Good luck.”
Many are wondering "what Google saw" that caused them to revise their post-quantum cryptography transition deadline to 2029 last week. It was this:

"OpenClaw is the new computer." — Jensen Huang
This is the early PC era all over again.
A few power users see it.
Everyone else hasn't even started.
"It's the most popular open source project in the history of humanity, and it did so in just a few weeks. It exceeded what Linux did in 30 years."
A solo founder with OpenClaw can now build what used to take a 50-person team.
The leverage is absurd.
i heard about a guy in a small town in england who turned his openclaw into a short form video marketing machine
millions of views, steady app downloads, and revenue coming in every day
i needed to find out how he was doing it
1. spin up an ai “employee” using openclaw
2. give it one job like grow your app with tiktokk
3. give it access to tiktokk analytics, a browser to research and image/video tools to create content
4. the openclaw studies your niche and starts generating slideshows and videos
5. every post feeds performance data back into the system
views → hook quality
downloads → CTA quality
revenue → funnel quality
the openclaw then iterates on
- new hooks
- new formats
- new CTAs
until it finds winners
one of his posts hit 170k+ views
and the system keeps improving because the analytics loop feeds back into the content generation
so the agent slowly learns what works
what i like about this is the framing
most people think about ai tools
this is different
you spin up an ai employee
you give it a job
and let it run the loop
thanks to @oliverhenry for coming on the @startupideaspod today
more like this soon, i will share the most interesting stories and gatekeep nothing
this episode was dripping in sauce
i gotta try this and see if it works
kinda wild if it does

karpathy just broke the internet with something called auto research
it’s basically an ai research agent that runs experiments for you 24/7
you give it a goal like
“make this model better”
“find a higher converting landing page”
“lower customer acquisition cost”
then it runs a loop:
1) plan an experiment
2) edit the code or config
3) run a short test on a gpu
4) read the metrics
5) keep the winner
6) try again
over and over
while you sleep
by the morning you wake up to the best version
actual tested improvements
think of it like a robot research intern that runs hundreds of experiments and only keeps the winners
this is link to his repo github.com/karpathy/autorese… for your to mess around with it
in the latest episode of @startupideaspod
i break down:
• what auto research actually is
• how it works step by step
• 10 business ideas you can build with it
• how to install it and start using it
this one is saucy
because tools like this change how startups get built

I am not surprised at all. We are only now coming to full grips with the mental health issues that smartphones and social media are causing. There is no way that incessant use of AI tools would not create another mental health problem.
New Harvard Business Review research reveals that excessive interaction with AI is causing a specific type of mental exhaustion ( or AI brain fry), which is particularly hitting high performers who use the tech to push past their normal limits.
A survey of 1,500 workers reveals that AI is intensifying workloads rather than reducing them, leading to a new form of mental fog.
While AI is generally supposed to lighten the load, it often forces users into constant task-switching and intense oversight that actually clutters the mind.
This mental static happens because you aren't just doing your job anymore; you are managing multiple digital agents and double-checking their work, which creates a massive cognitive burden.
The study found that 14% of full-time workers already feel this fog, with the highest impact seen in technical fields like software development, IT, and finance.
High oversight is the biggest culprit, as supervising multiple AI outputs leads to a 12% increase in mental fatigue and a 33% jump in decision fatigue.
This isn't just a personal health issue; it directly impacts companies because exhausted employees are 10% more likely to quit.
For massive firms worth many B, this decision paralysis can lead to millions of dollars in lost value due to poor choices or total inaction.
Essentially, we are working harder to manage our tools than we are to solve the actual problems they were meant to fix.
