Uploaded a few pictures of my studio and ran a similar prompt as Riley. One-shotted by Fable 5.2 in around ~2 hours. Wow.
This is actually INSANE. Fable 5.2 just created this in one shot, and I did it live on stream. I gave Claude one prompt. It wrote code that builds the entire room in Blender: the desk, the MacBook, the light, even Clawd. The laptop screen is a web page Claude built to look like the Claude app, played on the laptop inside the 3D scene. Then it animated everything itself: 13 camera shots, every single key press, Clawd jumping around, and the sun going from golden hour to night to sunrise. It rented 10 GPUs on RunPod and rendered the whole thing in 4K in 52 minutes. Total cost: $5.75. It graded it, added the titles, and made the music and sound effects with ElevenLabs.

One of my biggest beliefs right now is that analog is a huge opportunity in business — going old school, non-digital, non-AI, while being empowered by digital and AI. It’s all about using technology to do analog things, and it’s got me all fired up. That’s what got me excited about CRWD and why I had its founder, Ryan Chen, on the podcast. I’m an investor in the company. It connects businesses with everyday people who get incentivized to take an action—visit a store, try a product, show up to an experience.

These are 8 of the best /skills I've found for product design, all free. Frontier models are decent at design, but out of the box everything they make can start looking the same. How do you fix that? With Skills. A skill is a small set of instructions, that your agent loads before it starts working on a task. 1. Stageshow by @benjitaylor Animated product demos and bento grids. benji.org/stageshow 2. Impeccable by @pbakaus Turns AI slop into interfaces you're proud to ship. github.com/pbakaus/impeccabl… 3. Dimensional Drawing by @enesozturkdev Spec-sheet drawings of your components, inspired by Apple's accessory drawings. github.com/enesozturk/dimens… 4. Oil UI Several design directions side by side, so you pick the best. github.com/oil-oil/oil-ui 5. Emil Kowalski's skills The rules great UI animation follows. github.com/emilkowalski/skil… 6. Taste Skill Dials for layout variety, motion, and density. github.com/Leonxlnx/taste-sk… 7. Brand Identity Logo, type, and color designed as one system. github.com/fatihaydost/brand… 8. Awwwards MCP (not a skill) A skill teaches your agent how to do something. An MCP server gives it a new tool. This one pulls references from award-winning sites before it builds. github.com/INSANE0777/Awwwar… Install a skill: npx skills add owner/repo Install the MCP: claude mcp add awwwards -- npx -y awwwards-mcp Works in Claude Code, Codex, and most agents that support skills. Remember, skills alone won’t completely set you apart, since everyone can install them. The difference maker is going to be the human touch. Knowing what’s good, how things work well together, etc.

People are often surprised to hear that my podcast (2M+ listens/month) is literally just me and one producer + freelance editors. You don't need a lot of people to make videos, you need a system, curiosity, desire, and reps. I've done 790 videos since 2021, so at this point it's second nature. The real trick is I'm not doing this full time. I'm running companies all day, and that's actually where the content comes from. I'm taking notes on what I'm learning as I go, and when something's interesting I tell myself to come back and make something out of it. Or I'm in a meeting with someone sharp and I go "you should come on the podcast." It's not a second job I bolt on, I just made it part of how I already live and work.
how is @gregisenberg making so many high quality videos so frequently? does anyone know how big his team is? i can only imagine just the setup and planning of all his tutorial videos would take a massive amount of time and man hours doing them + running multiple companies seems like a superhuman thing to do

If you’re struggling to build a tool people want I highly recommend building software that is “agent native”. 900M people use ChatGPT weekly and now OpenAI is merging codex and ChatGPT. Millions of people are going to be using agents, who previously were just talking to an ai that could search the internet. Agents don’t just retrieve information. Agents do things on the users behalf. What if you build something where agents do things. Think moltbook but think bigger. Think smaller. Think more niche. Think more useful. When you go down this rabbit hole you’ll realize there’s so much opportunity here.

Ghost of Tomorrow is Chapter I of a larger arc about time: what it costs, what it carries, and what it ultimately asks of you. The pocket watch is where that story begins. The future haunts those who refuse to become it. Chapter I of Memories in Motion. Stream / Watch: ffm.to/ghostoftomorrow.ODL

The biggest alpha leak of 2026 is that you can tokenmax $10k/mo with OpenClaw/Hermes + GBrain and get the AI that everyone will have in 2028 for $100/mo, but you can get it now, and that is the biggest single unlock you can have vs your competition

This is one of the best short films I've seen in years. Very soon, we'll stop calling it "AI film" and just call it film.

Introducing USVC - a single basket of high-growth venture capital, for everyone. No accreditation required, SEC-registered, and a very low $500 minimum. Includes OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Sierra, Crusoe, Legora, and Vercel. As USVC adds more companies, investors will own a piece of that too. Liquidity typically comes when companies exit, but we’re aiming to let investors redeem up to 5% of the fund every quarter. This isn’t guaranteed, but if we can make it work, you won’t be locked up like in a traditional venture fund. It runs on AngelList, which already supports $125 billion of investor capital. And I’ve joined USVC as the Chairman of its Investment Committee. — Go back to the 1500s, you set sail for the new world to find tons of gold - that was adventure capital. Early-stage technology is the modern version. It says we are going to create something new, and it’s risky. It’s daring. But ordinary people can’t invest until it’s old, until it’s no longer interesting, until everybody has access to it. By the time a stock IPOs, most of the alpha is gone. The adventure is gone. Public market investors are literally last in line. This problem has become farcical in the last decade. Startups are reaching trillion dollar valuations in the private markets while ordinary investors have their noses up to the glass, wondering when they’ll be let in. Investing in private markets isn’t easy. You need feet on the ground. You need judgment built over years. Most people don’t have the patience to wait ten or twenty years for an investment to come to fruition. But there is no more productive, harder-working way to deploy a dollar than in true venture capital. USVC enables you to invest in venture capital in a broad, accessible, professionally-managed way, through a single basket of innovation, focused on high-growth startups, at all stages. It is how you bet on the future of tech: the smartest young people in the world, working insane hours, leveraged to the max, with code, hardware, capital, media, and community. Your dollar doesn’t work harder anywhere. There is an old line - in the future, either you are telling a computer what to do, or a computer is telling you what to do. You don’t want to be on the wrong side of that transaction. USVC lets you buy the future, but you buy it now. Then you wait, and if you are right, you get paid. Get access here: usvc.com
Announcing: USVC AngelList exists to power the innovation economy. To date, we have powered $125 billion in assets, 25,000+ funds, and 13,000+ startups. Today, we’re opening it for retail access. @usvc_ is a regulated fund that holds stakes in promising private companies. There are no accreditation requirements and anyone can get started with as little as $500. Early portfolio includes xAI, Anthropic, OpenAI, Sierra, Vercel, Crusoe, and Legora. Own a stake in the companies defining the future. Learn more: usvc.com/
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The post may imply more direct access than the filings support. Per the fund’s own filings, liquidity is board-controlled, fees include up to 3% sales load + 1.00% management fee + acquired fund fees, and exposure may be via SPVs/VC funds, not direct stakes. usvc.com/documents/USVC…
