made my first SAAS sale in the early hours of this morning 🌅- keeping to a competitive model especially in this world with AI and software being so cheap

🚨 MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT: YouTube will start prioritizing original content and reducing re-uploads (RIP clipping)
YouTube has just announced one of the most impactful changes to its short-form algorithm. Its recommendation systems (the algorithm) will start to further prioritize original content and reduce the reach of content re-uploaded from other creators without adding anything of your own.
They highlight this shift toward originality, where channels with primarily re-uploaded content will see less distribution within the Shorts feed.
It also seems like they’re really trying to put the focus on content with real value, while highlighting that YouTube doesn’t want as many “minor technical edits” or “template-based” changes. Which is basically all that clipping was in this industry.
Overall, while this will piss off some people whose entire careers were built on the premise of other people’s content (mostly clippers), the change itself is amazing and will finally address the overall quality issue we’ve been seeing.
it's funny the more i look at it, open ai and anthropic just become saas companies 😆
if an open weight is comparable to their frontier models
then all your paying for is the integrations, the apps, the fancy slack integration
why use claude tag when there is a open source one that has a bigger feature set? github.com/Anil-matcha/open-…
thanks OpenAI / Anthropic for testing this great idea out and it clearly works, we'll take that and run it on our super cheap AI models
then the likes of microsoft, google will just lap up those features into their existing suite of products
absolutely love this! the ultimate hustle! Fairplay! looking forward to my first payout
So this is how the Openclaw guy felt....
Alright we're going to push a new extension version with a lot of little tweaks. VS code should auto update.
Fixed (I think) the advertiser portals
User rates are were originally capped at $1 an hour. Then I raised to $3 an hour. Then I raised it to $5 an hour. The spammers are hammering us hard, so it's balancing act of legit ad views and capping users
Thanks for everyone really leaning in on this one. Having a blast, I'm also incredibly swamped, this has been the craziest day since LK99
Keep the vibes immaculate on this one and we can all have some fun
1 day ARR somewhere between $17mil-$25mil (sort of a job)

Today, @editframe emerges from stealth. Agents need video.
Editframe Agent Skills:
npm create @editframe@latest
Just prompt Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex and get a working video or a full interactive GUI.

We’ve trained a multimodal AI model to turn routine pathology slides into spatial proteomics, with the potential to reduce time and cost while expanding access to cancer care.

🇦🇺An Australian tech founder with zero biology background sequenced his dog’s tumor DNA, then used ChatGPT and AlphaFold to design a custom mRNA cancer vaccine.
A month later, the tumors shrank by half.
And this is just the start of AI medicine.

Atlassian just confirmed 1,600 layoffs with 900+ coming from engineering
But I'm hearing the real story from inside
Sources say they've been running "knowledge extraction sprints" for 6 months - recording every senior engineer's screen, logging their prompts, documenting their debugging workflows
One architect told me they made him walk through his entire microservices decision tree while they filmed it. Called it "knowledge transfer for the transition team"
The transition team? 47 contractors in Bangalore with access to his recorded sessions and a Claude Enterprise subscription
Same architect just found out his replacement starts Monday. Guy makes $28k annually and ships code 40% faster using the exact prompt libraries they extracted
They're not just cutting headcount - they're systematizing 15 years of engineering expertise into training data
The "strategic AI focus" isn't about building AI products
It's about replacing their entire engineering culture with agents trained on their senior engineers' knowledge
Word is the CTO replacement already has the playbook: extract, document, offshore, automate
If you're still there and they ask you to "document your processes for the team" - RUN
The knowledge extraction is complete
