"this is unlike Eric" ✅
"I'm unsure what happened but you should not tell your fans to shut up" ✅
"I want to understand the context before commenting but this doesn't look good" ✅
"I have been saying it, Eric has begun to feel big"❌
"Eric is finally unraveling"❌
"Once they get small fame he become arrogant" ❌
Most of you were not criticising the action, you just have serious bad belle. I rebuke the spirit of bad belle from all of you! OUT!!!✋🏾

The MOST obvious (but REALLY good) STARTUP ideas right now:
1. Zestimate for company data (what your data is worth to an AI lab)
2. Google Analytics for agents (see which agents visit your site and what they want)
3. Y Combinator for 1 person companies (back solo founders running a team of agents)
4. Okta for agents (who each agent is and what it's allowed to touch)
5. Marie Kondo for your company's data (clean it up so agents can use it)
6. FICO for agents (a trust score before an agent can spend money)
7. Geico for agents (insurance for when an agent makes an expensive mistake)
8. Datadog for agents (see every step your agents took)
9. Twilio for agents (phone numbers and texting for agents)
10. Upwork for agents (hire an agent for a job instead of a freelancer)
11. ESPN for AI (every model launch covered like a big game).
12. Shutterstock for robot training videos (get paid to film yourself doing chores)
13. Credit Karma for what AI knows about you (see it, fix it, delete it)
14. Norton for AI scams (protect your parents from fake voices and emails)
15. PayPal Buyer Protection for agent purchases (fixes it when your agent buys the wrong thing)
16. Geek Squad for AI (set up personal agents for families and small businesses)
17. Dell for private AI (AI in a box for firms that won't use the cloud)
18. Carfax for used GPUs (a health report before you buy secondhand)
19. Airbnb for idle GPUs (rent out computing power you're not using)
20. Rotten Tomatoes for AI models (real reviews instead of benchmarks)
21. G2 for skills (find the best skills for your agent)
22. Dropbox for your AI memory (take what your agent knows about you to any agent)
23. Canva for physical products (design it with AI and get it made)
24. ADT for your personal agent (alerts when your agent does something it shouldn't)
25. Hertz for robots (rent one for a move, a deep clean or an event)
26. Harvard Business School for internet businesses (a real education in building online)
27. Workday for agents (onboard, manage and offboard your digital workers)
28. Getty Images for your face and voice (license your likeness to AI safely)
29. Meta Muse for older adults (and other high LTV niche)
30. Google Ads for agents (pay to be what the agent recommends)
31. Loom for agents (a walkthrough of everything your agent did)
32. Plaid for agents (approved access to banks, airlines and stores)
33. Jiffy Lube for vibe coded apps (quick fixes when your AI built app breaks)
34. Ancestry for datasets (where your training data came from)
35. The organic label for human-made content (proof a person made it)
36. Strava for builders (track what you ship every week)
37. Honey that haggles for you (your agent negotiates the price)
38. SEM Rush for personal agent platforms (like Muse etc)
39. Frequent flyer miles for agents (loyalty programs built for agents)

About to have one of the best time of your life.
I always like khan academy for pre-college maths (khanacademy.org/math) then use MIT OCW (ocw.mit.edu/search/?d=Mathem…) or a Stanford YT courses

My advice to juniors is simple:
Dont be a prompt engineer, it takes no skill.
Do:
- learn math
- learn to code
- build from first principles
Go as far as you can with math.
Learn to code well. Start with the @handmade_net crowd.
Build whatever interests you from scratch: llms, game engines, compilers, etc.
They key here is building systems you understand inside out. Just reading about it isnt good enough, let alone letting ai do it for you.
You have to put the reps in.
There is a tidal wave of slop being built by many who have never done the above, and someone will have to fix all that down the road.
Be that someone.
Murakaza Neza!
Feel at home please.
Africa, we’re back. 🌍

There was a moment maybe two years ago when I realized that ChatGPT could have few-shot my phd dissertation (at least huge chunks of it). I did mourn for a few days, I worked my ass off for that thing.
Over time though I became sad for a different reason, that if I had ChatGPT during my PhD I could have tackle a far bigger, more important, more technically difficult dissertation question. Sometimes I think about the dissertation I could have written if I had Codex, something that an AI couldn't few-shot and I couldn't pull off without AI assistance.
Just saw this was in March. Omoo.
Introducing #MakokoBloodandWater, a third-person action game heavily inspired by @RockstarGames GTA franchise and set in Makoko, Lagos. Featuring a compelling story, combat, dynamic NPCs etc. Built by me in Delta State, Nigeria in just 2 months.🔥🇳🇬
Nope. Why point out his virtues and sacrifices when there's agenda to agend?
"Help police to count checkpoint money, then bite the police" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 DFKM
A Belgian malinois?
This is a military weapon, not for civilians. Don’t try yourself.
This is not a dog, it’s a dragon dipped in cocaine. This is what Angel Gabriel created when he said let there be a “wereywolf”
If you have a fence, this dog will FLY over that fence, chase a criminal, chase your neighbour, cross over to the next estate, smoke colos, threaten the securityman, cross the road, help police to count checkpoint money, bite the police, chase your ex girlfriend and then FLY back into the compound like nothing happened, all in 5 minutes. Notice the word fly. Experience is the best teacher.
No matter how high the fence is, this dog will go over it. Notice how this one is even already eating the cage as a puppy.
Except you’re a military man, a police or a crime boss, you have no business with this plutomanian crackhead.
The only reason you should buy this Pokémon is if you are a 2 seconds man, trying to train to become energetic. Congrats to your girlfriend on your future endeavours💪🏻.
She's not a vibecoder. The average vibecoder won't be able to handle that ridiculous scale in such a short time. Or build something so complex.
Instead of me pitching and advertising my full stack development bootcamp or training to you.
I’ll rather advertise vibe coding sessions. @Shalom_HeyEliy just vibe coded an idea that scaled over 10m views with over $45k in revenue in 4 days.
I would rather learn how to vibe code and adopt AI than to start learning full stack in 2026.

This is really cool. I don't get what you guys are saying o. A random person, nay the average tech person, can't vibe code this.
