i've spent an unhealthy amount of time on agentic video editing, here's everything i learned: video editing is 100% solved. we're pushing out hundreds of videos a day with agents and have replaced almost all of our editors drop every limiting belief you have about agentic editing, any style of creative is possible here are the best models for video editing right now: 1. GPT 6 Astra (best taste by far, but also the most expensive) 2. Opus 5.5 3. Gemini 4 Argon the best all around model is Opus 5.5 and don't waste your time on editing app MCPs like CapCut or DaVinci Resolve. they're slow and burn a ton of tokens compared to a custom workflow built for your specific use case all editing is moving to the terminal + organized file systems the most valuable (and most time consuming) part is having your best editors train your harness so it learns from its mistakes and can one-shot creatives your best editor becomes 100x more leveraged once you teach them how to use Opus 5.5 in their workflow and build skills around their process in 6 months most teams will be 1 creative engineer managing everything with agents what a time to be alive..

At work (R&D at a fortune 500 company w/ 15k+ employees), every time a SaaS pitches their product, my first question in the review meeting is, "Why don't we just build this ourselves?" In the past, there were always good answers to that question. Today, I can't think of any. If we can point an agent at any website or demo, have it research the broader problem for 72 hours, build the product with a focus on our specific needs, with any extra features we want, AND save a million a year why would we pay for your SaaS? Scale? It only has to scale to 15,000 employees and a few million customers. We don't have the same scaling problem you do serving 1,000 businesses with 100s of million of customers. Scale is a non-issue. Reliability? Your 99.9% self-reported uptime is not impressive. We can pay to host an app on a hyperscaler too. And when we do it, we know with certainty whether the uptime number is true or not. Github's official status page reports ~99% uptime. The Missing GitHub Status Page reports 93%. Reliability is a non-issue. Bugs? You think your SaaS product doesn't have bugs to work out? I've seen bugs in third party products cost our company millions. Everyone is shipping early and often. Including your SaaS. Every piece of software has bugs. But there is a big difference between a bug in your code and a bug in ours. When the bug is in your code, we are at your mercy. Maybe you put it into Jira immediately. Are you going to bypass sprint planning? You won't have a fix for two weeks. Maybe you'll fail to reproduce and blame our code. Maybe it is our code. Maybe its an interplay. Since you don't have our code and we don't have your code, how are we going to figure that out? If it's all our code, an employee can fix it in an hour. If we need to, we can throw ten engineers with agents in a call until it's reproduced, the fix is merged, and it's validated. Bugs are a non-issue. Bandwidth? Agents are nearly autonomous now. They don't need to be babysat. I can spin up a project and let an agent run for 50 hours, have it build a PowerPoint and walk into a demo with leadership blind. If anything breaks, "I'm still working on that." Things always break in demos. Nobody cares. If leadership proposes a feature, the answer is, "Yeah, great idea, I can add that." Because I can. Bandwidth is a non-issue. Maintenance? We have so much prior art, inputs and outputs, we can benchmark anything. We have autonomous PR systems built on top of in-app feedback SDKs so even the non-dev users can contribute to every app or service. Even our analytics systems are tied to automated PRs. Maintenance is a non-issue. Support? It doesn't matter how much we're paying a month for your platinum level enterprise support when our point of contact has to fetch the one dev who already went home for every non-trivial incident. The incident is never trivial. We already checked the top 10 things it could be because that was faster than asking you. Support is a non-issue. Expertise? Agentic research. We can build anything. Expertise is a non-issue. Cost? The cost of intelligence has gone down 100x every year. You're still charging 2022 prices. You should be charging closer to your electricity costs. Cost is a non-issue. At this point, the only reason we don't switch off existing services is that transitioning 15,000 employees to something else is a pain in the butt. It would be a pain in the butt even with a perfect bug-free, infinitely scalable, perfectly-reliable clone. Your new SaaS doesn't have that moat. But it does give me an idea for a product to build.

Status may effect mate pairing but actually having kids also hits the brick wall of being financially high cost. This is a result of the Liberal individual, a family isnt really a legal or social unit and thus not entitled to the productivity of its members, thus kids cost a lot and net little for sure.

Holy f*ck, Elon Musk's team at spacexai just dropped a full spam killer inside Grok Bot, and it's free DeleteMe charges $129 a year to pull your number off spam lists Grok Bot does it for $0 It finds your number on people-search sites, files every opt-out, clicks the confirmation emails and checks again every month Add the free Spam-Call Scrubber skill, then say these 3 lines once: 1. "Find every site that lists my phone number and home address" 2. "File the opt-out on each one and finish the confirmation emails" 3. "Check again on the 1st of every month and tell me what came back" Say line 1 tonight Then read how to wire it into a team that never sleeps in the article below ↓

❗️ Cargo thieves have stolen more than $100M in hardware bound for US data centers since June, NBC News reports. They hijack freight-broker accounts, post fake loads and send carriers malware links to take over their accounts too. In one of the biggest heists, an SUV struck the security escort of a trailer carrying ~$10M in server rack components from California to Texas. The trailer sped off. An app was tracking it, but its coordinates had apparently been spoofed. In another, a sedan hit the off-duty police escorts of a $13M server load bound for Georgia, and the trailer drove on. None of the equipment from either load has been found.

Yeah I think it's finally time unemployment became the next leg in this AI narrative centipede. Real or not. Felt cute might delete later.

When you think about it… Elon is absorbing an incredible amount of risk for Anthropic. He’s providing them flex capacity while they engage with others for baseload. If things go south on the AI trade, Elon’s left holding the bag first. Their risk is that he eventually makes enough margin on his own business to take the capacity back. They can prevent this by carefully hiring people from his team so that he can never build the talent base necessary.

I got a set of Sonos speakers a few months ago. I hate them. They're obnoxious, laggy, buggy, etc. Most importantly: they sound HORRIBLE. I plugged in a mic and said "fix the sound". Claude did it. Holy shit.
