ai will absolutely take the jobs of knowledge workers who fail to adapt to the evolving needs of their profession
making $200k - $750k reordering pixels on a computer screen in a climate controlled room all day?
yeah, what's worked in the past is no longer good enough
so what now? accelerate replacing your old self with agents. i guarantee a new form of work will appear for you - do it, that's your new job
now you're even more valuable than you were previously, and your incremental value accrual will come directly from your peers who are not bothering to adapt
in the end it won't be ai taking jobs, it'll be ambitious people using new tech to outcompete others. same has been true of every technological wave. adapt or be left behind
nobody is talking about product factories
engineering stopped being the bottleneck earlier this year. software factories are incredible but they can only make impact insofar as product and every other function keeps up
the most in-demand talent in 2027 will be people using agents to accelerate non eng work while maintaining quality
the cool think is that person could literally be anyone - a pm, designer, marketer, user researcher, devrel, bd, lawyer or even an engineer!
never in history has one person had this much leverage, this cheap, to build a business
the ai race has produced the most powerful tools ever made. no special knowledge needed. priced for anyone.
and it's subsidized. brilliant, hard-working teams are fighting so hard to win that they're selling it to you below cost. free markets at their best
go build
i’m sitting in a recliner, doing a design review of an app i’m building. entirely by voice.
astra 6 in @ChatGPT is acting as my head of design. it builds interactive prototypes, opens them, and clicks through the screens while presenting its recommendations.
i react out loud. it makes changes and shows me again. fast enough that it feels like a conversation.
the review is hands-free for me. i get to stay focused on what the product should actually feel like to use.
the workflow if you want to try it:
1. start with your existing app. be explicit about which flows should stay.
2. ask for a clickable prototype and a screen-by-screen design review.
3. turn on voice and have it drive the demo. give feedback as you go.
4. separate layout and behavior decisions from fonts, colors, and branding. this made a huge difference.
5. have it keep a running list of what you approved, rejected, and still need to decide.
6. ask it to summarize decisions, next steps and take a goal to complete
repeat until you're prod ready
still plenty of judgment required. but doing this from a recliner, just talking through ideas and watching them take shape realtime, feels pretty wild.
made an account with @Walmart today
@amazon you aren’t going to lose your relationship with me by letting my agent shop. you’ll lose it if you don’t.
base has the best builders
we recently deprecated some features in our dashboard and @altagers shared genuine feedback and then shipped them in a fun ui for everyone 👏
Improved the Dashboard with Builder Codes on @base
-Better UX/UI
-Dedicated app pages for builder codes
-Sharing and rank cards
-OG and X metadata previews
-Multiple sharing templates
-Builder code "claiming"
-Cleaner, more readable stats
If your builder code is showing up as a random string, send me a DM — I’ll be happy to connect it to your app name and website.
I’ve started collecting this data today, so the rankings will become more meaningful over the next 3–7 days.
What should I add next?

guys I fear we went too far with the great unbundling
postseason baseball is exclusive to a different streaming service every time i turn it on
i’m ready to be bundled again
take my money
consumer ai is oblivious to reality
most people get anxiety from chat interfaces. they are already overwhelmed owing people responses in their personal and professional lives. last thing they want is an always-on agent they constantly owe messages to.
cloudflare making big moves in agentic payments, built on coinbase/base

wiiiild friday night
last thing I remember was @thsottiaux promising a reset
killer new claude feature
previously found myself watching usage and needing to remind my orchestrator agent to have all other agents checkpoint their work so it wouldn’t be lost
top 3 painpoint solved
i spent years in investment management watching things like this stay reserved for institutions and the wealthy
now anyone in the world can own US equities and borrow against them
this is what economic freedom looks like
Borrowing against Coinbase Tokenized Stocks is now available on @Aave V4
Access USDC liquidity against eligible tokenized stocks on Base
I used to be a "single frontier model" purist but I’ve flipped
tons of great models spiking on different jobs at different price points
bullish routers and model proliferation

Introducing the world’s first fully custodial x402 integration, live in Coinbase for Agents.
Your agent can pay for market and social data, then use it to trade on Coinbase on your behalf:
Trading drives demand for data. Payments unlock the data that informs the next trade.
Agentic trading and payments are converging into one continuous loop.
As workflows shift from human-executed to agent-executed, agents need a financial account.
That account is Coinbase.
You can now trade stocks through Coinbase for Agents.
Crypto. Derivatives. And now 6,000+ stocks.
Need analytics or data on those stocks? x402 payments let your agents pay for live market data mid-task, from your USDC balance on Coinbase. No subscriptions needed.
The most comprehensive agentic trading tool available today.
Build responsibly.
shot: demand the frontier be paced
chaser: front run your competitor on your model release and reset pulling in 5-10x more reach
amazon, amex and resy all banned agentic payments
agentic payments = massive TAM with critical unsolved problems
rare for such a ripe opportunity space to make itself so obvious. who is going to build the winning solution?
👋 @OpenAIDevs - reproducible GPT-Live Responses-delegation issue:
backend completes 3 tools and returns the full answer, but Live emits no post-result audio
session.commentary.append also yields silence, then context_injection_incomplete
two runs + raw logs. please help!
both sessions heard and transcribed the spoken question, delegated successfully, returned 3 valid tool results, and settled usage at session.closed
the only speech was a pre-result “Checking”/“One second.”
happy to share timestamps, configuration, and redacted event logs.
