@LastMenPod This is laughably false, in a major way....Big-favorite moneylines carry extra margin. Books know people like betting big favorites to win outright, so a −500 at −8 is a little expensive for the win chance it implies (around 74–76% by the spread).

@TheModelManSam This is a model that is being judged against openers? The methodology seems awfully basic to sustain that type of record going forward.

@Budgetdog_ Chances this actually happened? Deloitte salary on $92k is the tell.

@robpizzola Idiot

A 22 YEAR OLD IS RUNNING A CHILDREN'S TELEVISION NETWORK FROM HER BEDROOM. SHE PRODUCES A NEW 3D ANIMATED EPISODE EVERY SINGLE MORNING. SHE HAS NO ANIMATORS AND SHE DOES NOT DRAW. Kids' nursery rhyme channels routinely pull 2 million views per video. YouTube pays between $1,000 and $5,000 per million views. Before this year, getting a piece of that market required a 3D animation studio, voice actors, and a month of rendering. She does it in under five minutes. The whole pipeline fits on an iPad. She opens Picsart Flow and selects Sora 2. She pastes one master prompt. A vibrant, bright 3D animated kids show. Soft playful world. Glossy textures. Upbeat bouncy music. Characters that pop into frame and react naturally. She clicks generate. Two minutes later, the file is ready. 4K resolution. Perfectly lit 3D characters, smiling letters and colorful water drops, bouncing and lip-syncing to a synthesized song. The camera moves like a real director filmed it. She uploads it to YouTube. The next morning, she does it again. The kids watching don't know it was generated by a machine. The parents who just want five minutes of quiet don't care. The YouTube algorithm treats it like a Pixar short. A real animation studio spends $50,000 and two months to produce three minutes of content. She spends zero dollars and goes to make coffee. While the rest of the internet argues about whether AI video is ethical, she is quietly pulling market share from massive media companies with a single prompt. Most people will watch her tutorial and complain. A few will open a new tab.

You don't need 40 different AI agents. You only need 1. I run a $100k/month business and it's all done with a single agent using Claude Code + Obsidian. This 7 minute video will show you how I set it up.

Do you actually understand what $20,000 a month looks like when you build it properly? Not 20 clients at $1,000. Not 100 clients at $200. 8 clients. $2,500 each. Agents doing the work. Him maintaining the system. Lead qualification running 24 hours a day. Support tickets handled in seconds. Invoices chased automatically on day 7, day 14, day 21. Meeting briefs landing in inboxes 60 minutes before every call. Competitor reports delivered every Friday at 3pm. Total tool cost on his side: $200 a month. He built the system once. Packaged it. Now he's selling the codebase to people who want to do the same. The agents were always the product. He just figured it out earlier than most. Bottom line: That is the difference between freelancing and business. While most people waste their time just "pressing buttons" in Claude, he realized that the product isn't your time—it's a finished, autonomous process. You set it up once, package it into a template, sell it, and then simply maintain the infrastructure. The numbers in this post aren't magic; they are just the math of automation. Either you build systems that earn money while you sleep, or you continue trading your time for a fixed paycheck. The choice is yours

Aaron Levie (box ceo) say just read these business books: Seven Powers, Positioning, Innovator's Dilemma and its sequel Innovator's Solution, Blue Ocean Strategy, Crossing the Chasm. He said if you got locked in a room and read them, you'd predict 100% of what happens in technology without fail (kinda joking...) @levie

luckily bookmark rot is an easy problem to fix now here's how to turn every X bookmark you've ever saved into a second brain your agent has full context on: 1. export your bookmarks. i use twitter-web-exporter (free userscript) or the BookmarkSave extension. you get one file with every bookmark + the full text + the author + the link 2. drop that file into a folder. if you already run an llm wiki / obsidian vault, drop it straight in so your bookmarks join the rest of your knowledge 3. point your agent at the folder (claude code, codex, hermes, whatever you run) and tell it: "read this export and turn every bookmark into its own markdown note with the original link and a couple of topic tags" that's it, your agent has read all of it. now you can ask "what have i saved about pricing" or "pull everything i bookmarked on claude code" and it answers across the whole pile takes maybe 10 minutes after that they actually get used, and every new bookmark folds into the same brain instead of rotting in a tab you never open again

you face 2 choices every week: 1: open claude, do your tasks, occasionally automate something, close it, repeat 2: have claude watch your entire week and automate ALL the repetitive tasks for you (on autopilot) most people don't even know option 2 exists full setup here (takes 60 seconds):

Here's probably the best Claude Cowork tutorial under 25 minutes. It is by Tina Huang ( ex-Meta data scientist).

x.com/i/article/2053…

Most people want AI to sound like them. But no one does this first (and it takes 47 mins): Step 1. Download Claude (claude. com/ download) Open 'Cowork'. Create a folder for your voice. Step 2. Select Opus 4.7 + Extended Thinking Set as default model. Turn ON Extended Thinking. Step 3. Copy-paste the interview prompt From this guide: ruben.substack.com/p/youre-just-a… It asks you 100 questions about how you think. Step 4. Answer every question out loud Use the Wispr. ai. Talk to yourself. Don't type. Typing makes you edit. Talking makes you honest. Step 5. Don't tell what you like. Tell what you reject. Be extremely precise and specific in your answers. 80% of your file should be what you'd never say. Step 6. Paste Prompt 2 - The Voice Compiler 20K-word raw file → 2-4K compressed tokens. Cuts generic. Keeps signal. Most people stop at the raw dump. That's the mistake. Step 7. Save + test [yourname] .md Open a blank Claude session. Paste the file. Ask it to write something. If it sounds like you → ship it. If not → re-interview. Step 8. Deploy with Obsidian Drop the .md in your Cowork folder. It auto-read on every prompt. Edit it like a Google Doc. It syncs automatically, without downloading uploading loop. The Don'ts: ✦ Skip the 100-question interview ✦ Answer vaguely ("I like clarity" → clarity HOW?) ✦ Stop at the 20K-word raw dump ✦ Use blank chats instead of Cowork folders ✦ Treat the file as static (you change daily) ✦ Think your voice is too "magical" to capture ✦ Forget to document what you'd NEVER write ✦ Blame AI for sounding generic The Do's: ✦ Always use Cowork - not blank chats ✦ Always turn on Extended Thinking ✦ Always compress with Prompt 2 ✦ Always test in a blank session first ✦ Always document refusals, not just preferences ✦ Always edit your .md as your taste shifts ✦ Always push through the full 100 questions ✦ Always start prompts pointing to your folder You think you're complex to fit in a file. You're not. 47 mins & one .md file to duplicate your brain. Most people won't sit for 2 hours. You're not most people. Full process + prompts: ruben.substack.com/p/youre-just-a…

Stop watching 45-minute Claude tutorials. Everything you need is in this one image (save this): 1. Cowork Setup (Tips 1–10) ☑ Download the desktop app. Not the browser. ☑ Create one folder on your PC called 'COWORK'. ☑ 4 subfolders: About me, project, template, output ☑ Download anti-ai-style here: how-to-ai.guide. ☑ Subscribe for free. Open my welcome email. ☑ Hit the automatic reply button inside. ☑ Download anti-ai & my about me from my Notion. 2. Pick the Right Model (Tips 11–20) ☑ Opus 4.6 + Extended Thinking for complex tasks. ☑ Sonnet = quick edits. Haiku = scanning files. ☑ The model matters less than the prompt. ☑ Bad prompt on Opus > Great prompt on Haiku. 3. Prompting (Tips 21–30) ☑ Stop writing long prompts. Files > prompts. ☑ One task per prompt. One. Not five. ☑ Say "Does NOT sound like" to kill the AI voice. ☑ Give the task, not the method. Let it figure it out. 4. AskUserQuestion Tool (Tips 31–40) ☑ "Start with AskUserQuestion" in all 1st prompts. ☑ Claude builds you a clickable form. Click answers. ☑ It asks the right questions so you don't have to. ☑ If the direction is wrong, say it. It rebuilds. 5. Connectors (Tips 41–50) ☑ Settings → Connectors → Browse → Click "Add." ☑ Slack, Google Drive, Notion, Gmail. 50+ tools. ☑ Claude reads your actual files. No copy-pasting. ☑ Free on all plans. No extra cost. Just connect. 6. Plugins (Tips 51–60) ☑ Cowork → Customize → Browse → Install. ☑ Marketing, Legal, Sales, Data — pick your role. ☑ Type / to trigger any plugin command instantly. ☑ Customize to match your company and voice. 7. Claude in Excel (Tips 61–70) ☑ Install "Claude by Anthropic" from Microsoft Marketplace. ☑ It reads every tab. Explains formulas in English. ☑ Drop a PDF in. Claude extracts the tables for you. ☑ No macros. Claude highlights what it touches. 8. Projects & Teams (Tips 71–80) ☑ One Project per deliverable. Not per client. ☑ Upload a great example. It matches the standard. ☑ Convert one person first. Then scale to the team. ☑ Use the 15-minute demo. Show, don't tell. 9. Artifacts (Tips 81–90) ☑ Charts, dashboards, trackers - inside the chat. ☑ They work automatically in Cowork. ☑ Preview before you export. Edit it live. Then copy. ☑ Share with non-Claude users as HTML. 10. Advanced Mastery (Tips 91–100) ☑ Keep your files under 200 lines. Shorter is better. ☑ 80% of your file should be what you're NOT. ☑ Review outputs. Especially financial work. ☑ Claude does 80% busywork. You do the 20%. --- To download all of my other Claude infographics: Step 1. Go to how-to-ai.guide. Step 2. Subscribe for free. Don't pay anything. Step 3. Open my welcome email (most skip this). Step 4. Hit the automatic reply button inside. Step 5. Download my infographics from my Notion. Bonus. Enjoy my best copy-paste prompts, too. ♻️ Repost this to save someone 6 months of trial.

Prompting is the worst way to use Claude. Here's what the top 1% do instead: They set up these 8 files once. Then they barely prompt again. File 1: about-me .md (Your identity) Who you are, your job, your priorities. Claude reads this before every task. To download mine, go here: how-to-ai.guide. Don't pay anything. It's free in the welcome email File 2: voice-profile .md (Your taste DNA) Your beliefs, your writing mechanics, your hard nos. Built from a 100-question interview with Claude. File 3: anti-ai-writing-style .md (Your boundaries) Every word you ban, the structure you reject, tone you hate. 80% of this file is what you're NOT. Go to how-to-ai.guide to download anti AI guide. Don't pay .Open the email. Click on Notion. Open '.md files' Download 'ANTI AI STYLE .md'. File 4: The Cowork Folder (Your 4-folder system) ABOUT ME. PROJECTS. TEMPLATES. CLAUDE OUTPUTS. 3 read-only, 1 write. Nothing extra. File 5: Global Instructions (Your persistent rules) Set once in Settings → Cowork → Edit Claude follows them before every task. Prompt: "Always read my files first, never edit my originals, deliver everything to CLAUDE OUTPUTS." File 6: The One Prompt (How you start every chat) 29 words. Forces Claude to ask YOU questions. Starts 80% of your conversations. Prompt: "I want to [TASK] for [SUCCESS CRITERIA]. Use AskUserQuestion before you start." File 7: Connectors (Claude inside your tools) Slack, Google Drive, Notion, Gmail, Figma. No copy-pasting. Claude reads your actual tools. File 8: Plugins (Instant skill packs) Marketing, Sales, Legal, Data. One-click install. Each comes with its own slash commands. The secret was always these 8 files behind it. I wrote 2 guides so you can copy my exact system: ✦ My full 8-file setup: how-to-ai.guide ✦ My Cowork folder walkthrough: claude-co.work (save this to never write a long prompt to Claude)
