After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI?
I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev
• 20-200x faster
• 40-400x cheaper (w/ output tokens free)
• Frontier composable intelligence optimized for decisions
AFAICT the shortest path to AI-based economic revolution

Full benchmarks. Absolutely insane.

Marc Andreessen explains how Elon Musk is so productive.
Elon Musk structures his companies around first principles and direct communication, which removes layers that slow execution.
Marc Andreessen points out that Musk spends time on engineering bottlenecks instead of management theater or status meetings.
That focus compresses decision cycles across Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI simultaneously.
The productivity comes less from working harder and more from reducing friction inside complex systems.

this should be a five alarm fire for policymakers in canada
517 american companies started by canadians. $414 billion raised. almost 9 in 10 of them went to school in canada
incredibly, 216 of these founders went to waterloo…. and half of these companies were started in the last 2 years!
517 US companies with a Canadian founder. $414B raised. 88% educated here.
The talent was never the problem. The belief was.

Mark Cuban’s advice to people trying to get into AI is simple. help businesses implement.
SMBs have budget but zero expertise. they’re not waiting for AGI. they’re waiting for someone to show them what’s possible.
what’s stopping you from being the one they call?

Steal this startup idea
Facebook Marketplace App Studio
Facebook has 3B users.
16% use Marketplace monthly.
That's 480M monthly users.
51% of ALL social media purchases happen there.
People make their entire living flipping on Marketplace.
Meanwhile:
* eBay has thousands of apps (some acquired for $100M+)
* Shopify devs earned $1B through their app ecosystem
Yet there are ZERO real tools for Facebook Marketplace
The API allows it. I vibe-coded one myself. It worked.
Here's what sellers would pay for:
1. Price scanners (is this dresser underpriced?)
2. Arbitrage alerts (worth more on eBay?)
3. Auto-responders for leads
4. Listing optimization tools
Productize what people are doing "in the shadows."
Massive platform.
No competition.
That's the alpha.

"Claude Code just SAVED my marriage!"
I gave Claude Code 512 GB of HEAVILY corrupted wedding footage from a close friend of mine, and within 10 minutes, recovered it all.
Two days ago, I got some bad news from a buddy telling me how the only copy of their wedding videos was corrupted to do a severe fault in the memory card.
Just like that, someone's happiest day turns into a nightmare. The footage was practically gone, nothing was able to read the memory card, and the only option was to pay thousands of $$$ or let it go.
Until I had an idea...
What if I plugged in the memory card and let Claude Code have a go at it.
It first made a copy of the corrupted files onto my computer using PhotoRec as to keep the original drive untouched. For context, I have never done anything like this before, it did this itself.
It looked at memory slices from the IDR, then began using FFMPEG to reconstruct the SPS, IDR, P/B, etc. all without me touching it once.
I come back to the full 512GB of uncorrupted video I can send back to my good friend. The power of Claude Code is insane.

I'm getting a version of this but for entire features
I find myself instinctively thinking "neat feature idea, not worth the time it will take to build and maintain it though" - and then prompting Claude Code anyway, because my 25+ year of intuitions don't match reality any more
One of the bigger shifts for me with Claude Code over the past few months has been shutting down that initial dismissal I have when a task feels "not worth my time"
Like I'll think "it would be nice to rename all my screenshots with what's actually in them" and immediately move on. Now I just ask Claude and it takes one minute to find out if it works.
When I zoom out, it gets kind of dizzying. Almost anything you can imagine doing on a computer is quickly becoming available if you can just string together the right words to describe it.

Henry Kravis breaks down the 1985 Safeway LBO deal, one of the largest transactions that KKR had completed at the time
"We bought Safeway for $5.6B. We put up $126M for 100% of the equity. That was called leverage. $5.5B in debt and $126M of equity. At one point, on a sale in the public markets, we actually made 50x our money. Those are venture kind of returns."

gemini 3 pro is google's smartest model
n8n is the easiest automation platform
together, they can make up workflows that cost $10k-20k
the integration lets you:
→ build AI agents with little or without code
→ automate image and document processing
→ create complex workflows in minutes
→ configure thinking levels and API settings
i made a playbook that covers everything on:
- gemini 3 pro + n8n setup
- building decision-making agents
- advanced configs nobody talks about
most people don't know this exists yet
learn it before they do
comment "GEMINI" and i'll send you the playbook for building AI workflows with gemini 3 pro and n8n

hubspot makes over $2.75B+/year.
but they doesn't use linkedin like a billboard.
they use it like a team sport.
most companies have one boring corporate page posting product updates nobody reads.
hubspot has an army of executives building credibility authentically:
-yamini rangan (ceo): 147k followers, repositioned them into the ai-first giant they are today
- yamini rangan (ceo): 147k followers, repositioned them into the ai-first giant they are today
- kipp bodnar (cmo): 27k followers, runs a podcast, shares how they're combating ai x marketing
- kieran flanagan (svp): 98k followers, killer ai workflow content
- jon dick (chief customer success): 12k followers, product updates and cs insights
- brenda fridman (sales director): event reflections, sales thoughts, in-person team updates
and that's just the executives.
employees across the org are posting authentic content that feels personal, not corporate.
every post adds credibility... every conversation drives visibility back to the product.
this is why hubspot dominates the feed.
they turned their linkedin strategy into a distributed content machine.
the playbook is right in front of you.

SORA 2 + Claude + Perplexity is absolutely WILD
This combo is absolutely insane for generating videos that actually convert.
No agencies. No production crews. No creative directors charging $500/hour.
Just three AI tools working together like a professional video team.
Here's how it works:
→ Perplexity researches your product + competitors + winning ad angles
→ Claude analyzes research and writes 10+ video prompts optimized for conversion
→ Sora 2 generates multiple video variations from Claude's prompts
→ Claude scores each video against psychological triggers and platform requirements
→ Best performers get refined and regenerated automatically
Perfect for brands testing creative at scale without burning budget.
The power is in the combo:
Perplexity = market intelligence most creative teams miss
Claude = prompts that understand psychology and platform algorithms
Sora 2 = production quality that looks like you spent $5K per video
While others are briefing agencies for next month's content, you're testing 50 variations this afternoon.
Compare different angles.
Find what converts.
Scale immediately.
Like, RT + reply with "SORA" and I'll DM the complete 3-tool system
(Must be following so I can DM)
Skip this and keep paying agencies $20K/month for 5 videos.
