AI slop isn't just tacky and uninspired. It can get you sued. Generating fake AI faces that resemble real people, or using someone's likeness without permission, is creating new legal and reputational risks for brands. So we built @mirrormirror_ai as part of a16z @speedrun, a marketplace where brands can digitally book real models and creators to generate AI content using their likeness, with their permission. Brands browse and book identity-verified talent, agree on usage rights, and generate content within those terms. Every approved image comes with a signed license and embedded provenance. We're seeing brands produce lookbooks and campaign visuals up to 10x faster, with up to 90% cost savings. Meanwhile, models and creators can earn additional income from their digital likeness without having to show up for another shoot. Everyone is racing to make AI generation faster, cheaper, and more realistic. But there's still a huge missing piece: how do you license the rights to the people appearing in AI-generated content at scale? That's why I'm excited about what we're building. Not just another AI generator, but the licensing and rights infrastructure for AI-generated content. mirrormirrorai.com/

Huge congrats to @jsawadd and the team! Amazing to see the progress and proud to be a small backer.
90% of humans will be taken advantage of by agents. Give your agents a credit card? You’re asking for it. We raised a $35M Series A to build Baselayer. Keep your agents submissive.

I'm a chronic tinkerer of my own schedule and process. Recently it compounded into Nerve, the multiagent OS that runs my life AND Finch (Series B, 100+ employees). 3,000+ brain notes, 145 background jobs, agents running on Ralph loops.🧵

Claude design is insane. Try it if you haven't.

What if I told you that almost nothing in this actually changes whether an AI recommends your site? The game is won or lost in web search and re-ranking, and agents almost never see any of these items until they actually start implementing your product.

For 30 years, every merchant's security stack has been built around one goal: keep bots out. AI agents break that assumption. They're trying to buy — and merchant fraud systems can't tell the difference between a scalper and a customer's AI assistant. But merchants are already doing a lot of what's needed. GEO and LLM-optimized SEO are making products discoverable by agents. The real shift is in bot management — flipping from "block everything automated" to "let the right bots transact safely." Fraud platforms are already adapting. The merchants who get this right first will be where agents route purchases. @arjunb023 breaks it down with @dgmason at @AnonPlatform
