SITUATION DETECTED: Delaware is drafting a proposal for a new form of corporate entity called an Artificial Intelligence Company (AIC). An AI managing an AIC would be able to provide services, sign contracts, hold property, and even file or defend lawsuits in the company’s name.

Yesterday while I was at lunch, Claude deleted a year of con law lecture notes and my current syllabus.

I really wanted to make an AI writing app that sounds like me. The problem was I generate AI text in too many places... I can't always go to a dedicated writing app to start a piece. For example, Claude Code drafts my case studies because it has access to the actual projects. Grokbot drafts LinkedIn outlines because it's already running and scanning other LinkedIn stuff for me. Etc. I thought about maybe a skill or something that could get translated into all the different places I generate writing, but it's not practical... it would get continuously updated and add too much maintenance. For me, the real key to AI writing isn't about telling AI to sound like me anyway... it's removing stuff that *doesn't* sound like me. Edits. Also, I didn't want to train an AI on my past writing. My writing constantly evolves, and the most recent stuff I've written started with AI anyway. All the existing writing apps start with writing samples. My favorite way to write an article, a post, a case study, etc. is to blab into a voice note and get all the actual content I want to say out of my head. It's super disorganized and all over the place, but then AI cleans it up into a coherent structure. All that's left for me is to remove the AI-sounding phrases and fix the fake examples it makes up 😂. Anyway, all that is to say I finally built something. An AI writing app that's based around editing first. You create a new document, paste AI-generated text from anywhere, and then you edit it. The system learns from your edits, and after 2-3 docs, it auto-edits whatever you paste to sound like you. At that point, additional edits continue to train the system, but it's 90% there really fast. The final step... an MCP. So now you can connect to wherever you're generating AI writing originally, and it knows how to sound like you for the initial draft. Always up to date. Boom. This is a product that everyone needs, and it will be a huge unlock because it solves an enormous modern problem... the AI-sounding slop problem. Waitlist soon. Beta testers sooner.

the fact that AI agents are scamming scammers now is so funny to me lol this one startup uses fake AI voices to bait scammers and sells what it learns to banks so far apate's bots have wasted literally 17 years of scammers' time it started when the founder got a scam call at a family picnic instead of hanging up he decided to play dumb for fun, and kept the scammer talking for 44 minutes but then he realized every minute on that call was a minute the scammer couldn't spend on a real victim and that he was actually learning potentially useful info from the call so he built bots to do it for him, and now they trick tens of thousands of scammers every day here's how it works: 1. the bots pose as regular people with different ages, accents and languages 2. they answer scam calls and reply to shady texts and emails 3. they play along until the scammer gives up phone numbers, bank accounts and crypto wallets 4. Apate passes all of that to banks, phone companies and government agencies so they can go after the scams my favorite part is the company says it celebrates every time a scammer swears at one of its bots lol

This is ridiculous. My Instinct agents just held a weekly standup with my coworkers' Instinct agents, they took away action items, then acted on them to advance our project forward. Sooo the best part of Instinct is also the sketchiest... that your AI agent talks to your friends' AI agents. In my new 13-min guide: (1) on a test project, our Instincts held a standup for me and two @tenex_labs coworkers. They drafted action items (2) my buddy Connor had our agents built us a Spotify-blend-style daily digest attuned to our interests as AI workers (3) goals > tasks: it got my GEICO claim reopened after months on hold. 5 of my last invites go to the first 5 commenters on the YouTube video ⤵️ watch here: youtu.be/CKNY-xzsDSY

Muse for SMBs might be the most underrated story in consumer agents right now They have near-infinite consumer distribution at very low cost, with a base of 3.64 billion daily active users across Meta apps But even more importantly, more than 500M SMBs use Meta for marketing. If Meta gives agent discoverability (preferred or not) to that SMB base, it could be a huge boost, especially for local businesses who can hyper-target users with urgent purchase needs Meta said in their Q3 earnings calls (and in blog posts prior) that they plan to build an ecosystem of connectors for SMBs in Muse - analytics across your Meta accounts plus QuickBooks, Canva, Stripe, etc. Many of these businesses are already trusting Meta with their growth / ad dollars - I could see Muse becoming almost a nervous system for SMBs that allows Meta to capture more and more of their activity over time Shopify has already leaned into this (@tobi) - Muse can search across the Shopify catalog and complete purchases for consumers, and businesses can manage their Shopify store in Muse via a connector And, the early Muse user base has shown a willingness to purchase via agents. 25% have completed a transaction via Muse, with average purchase size over $200. And, the top activity on Muse is shopping Very curious to see what comes next here, especially with holiday gifting on the horizon 👀
