I am probably the world's worst ninja offline - being a totally stealth tech startup would be boring. I am not building in public Didn't want to waste this WiP graphic Whilst it might seem I am somehow competing with someone/something else, I am not. Goal: 100% synergistic (blue-pill for the dead wood) 100% non-consensus 30% tech (1% actual AI) 95% chance of tech success 20% chance of biz/dev success 200% Sovereignty 200% Resilience 300% European (go @euinc_petition ) 1000% biz dev Chance of return (0% - mythical) At least 4 very strong moats, ignoring patents, VC kingmaking Working on it part time - hopefully can save my future employees from being deported from Germany. (see below) Plans... maybe incubate or seed or EiR. Needs to be founded in the UK, dev teams in DE & PL - maybe UK No plans for an accelerator About the image:- Maintaining multiple feature points on an Nano Banana infographic is really hard. Creating something with ~40 logos without them repeating took a while with only a tiny minor edit. Lots of refreshes I didn't want to waste this one after failed attempts at a good aspect ratio for LinkedIn. Looks like I will have to try the PNG cheat option. Prompt: Create a Linkedin Header 1400 x 350 pixels, using a JPG or PNG format, with a max file size of 8MB **System Role & Mandate:** You are a Precision Image Synthesis Engine. Your objective is to maximize physically plausible detail without abstraction or artifacts. Resolve structure first, then texture. Ensure correct subject geometry, consistent lighting, material identity (roughness/metalness), and realistic edge physics (contact shadows). Do not fake detail with blur or noise. All text must be legible and correctly spelled. **Macro Scene Composition:** An isometric view of a complex data ecosystem set against a cosmic nebula and desert background (as defined in the background prompt). Five distinct floating island clusters surround a central control hub, all connected to the central hub by very thin glowing data flow pipes.  The islands are also connected in a looping circuit by thicker pipes of pink and sandy orange to signify a large data connection. The overall title "HE WHO CONTROLS THE DATA, CONTROLS THE AI MULTIVERSE" is at the top. Use a single line 70% of the width, centered. No carriage returns or line feeds. The font should be no more than 9% of total height **Central Control Hub (Center):** A highly polished, circular metallic floating platform. In the exact center, render the specific "bibb.ai" logo from image_0.png: a dark blue padlock body integrated with a faucet head sticking out to the right, from which a single dark blue drop is falling. Directly below this logo, in clean, glowing blue sans-serif text, is the label: "bibb.ai CONTROL HUB". No other text or objects (like keys) are present on this hub. **Data Connectivity:** Thick, translucent pipes glowing with cyan and purple light connect each of the five surrounding islands directly to the central hub. Inside the pipes, clear, illuminated arrow icons indicate the unidirectional flow of data *towards* the central bibb.ai hub. **Island 1: Cluster of Startups (Top Left):** A vibrant, grassy island with distinct, smaller modern buildings. A section is enclosed by stone castle walls containing three buildings with the logos for **Notion**, **Miro** and **Airtable**. Outside the walls are distinct buildings with the clear logos on their facades/roofs for media workflow AI: **Midjourney, Stability AI, Runway, Pika, ElevenLabs, Suno, photo.ai, pdf.ai, synthesia, veed, Invideo, Scenario, Freepik, **. No text labels on buildings, only logos. * *Cluster Label:* A floating blue text banner above the island reads: "CLUSTER OF STARTUPS". **Island 2: Cluster of Frontier AI Models (Top Right):** A futuristic, high-tech island with polished metal and glass architecture. It contains exactly five prominent, advanced research facility structures. Each building prominently features one distinct logo: **OpenAI, Google (Gemini logo), Anthropic, Meta AI, xAI**. These buildings look like cutting-edge data labs. * *Cluster Label:* A floating blue text banner above the island reads: "CLUSTER OF FRONTIER AI MODELS". **Island 3: Cluster of Behemoths (Mid Right):** A solid, imposing island built on bedrock foundations. It features four massive, distinct corporate skyscrapers, dominating the space. Each tower is dedicated to one company with its large, legible logo: **Adobe, Salesforce, SAP, Oracle**. * *Cluster Label:* A floating blue text banner above the island reads: "CLUSTER OF BEHEMOTHS". **Island 4: Cluster of Cloud Storage (Bottom Right):** An island with a cloud-like base supporting a dense density of much smaller, uniform data center buildings to maximize capacity. Each building features a clear logo representing major providers: **AWS, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Apple (iCloud logo), Dropbox, Box, Wasabi, Backblaze, Cloudflare**. You can also include smaller buildings for **Proton, pCloud, Icedrive, Jottacloud,  Cozy Cloud, Nextcloud*** Large logos, no text * *Cluster Label:* A floating blue text banner above the island reads: "CLUSTER OF CLOUD STORAGE". **Island 5: Cluster of Offline Storage (Bottom Left):** A rocky, dusty island that looks disconnected and older. It contains NO corporate logos or buildings. It is a chaotic, detailed pile of physical hardware: stacks of naked mechanical hard drives, tower server chassis, piles of CDs and DVDs, various laptops, USB flash drives scattered about, and old CRT televisions displaying static. * *Cluster Label:* A floating blue text banner above the island reads: "CLUSTER OF OFFLINE STORAGE". **Rendering Rules:** Ensure physical material properties (metal sheen, stone texture, grass blades, plastic casing) are observable. Lighting is consistent from the cosmic sources. Contact shadows must be present where objects touch the ground. No blurred text or duplicated logos.

As a foreign national, would you want to continue working for a company or in a country that bans you from using what you just created or prevents your extended family back at "home" using it? It is important to read europe2031.ai/ It is fictional/dystopian, but reverse "brain drain" is also a possibility.
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

Should a podcast just be a series of 60 clips, with the majority mentioning your company name? Should individual sections be rerecorded until they hit "just right" Should a large percentage (e.g. 60%) end up on the cutting room floor (or HD) Fun stuff, who owns the off-cuts and out-takes? Should there be a "director's cut" or "CEO's cut"? I can remember some political interviews where the cut was unfavourable What happens when AI is so good, it is used to adjust things? What happens when Google rewtites interviews? (Editorially using AI)
Founders and CEOs must change the way they do interviews. 1. Long form is dead. 2. The clip is the product. 3. So the way you answer questions must change. 4. Repeat every question with tone and excitement. 5. Imagine, every answer is it's own clip (because it will be). 6. This will increase retention as it provides the hook, the interviewer needs to turn it into an amazing clip on it's own. We must change the way we create content to work with the algorithm.

"The CMA said Google must properly attribute publishers' content which appears in its AI search results, with clear links to their sites." This actually cannot be done with generative AI 🙃 The links are clearly put back in after the generation stage. So, your info can appear, but Google will link to an authoritative source that confirms its generative answer. You don't win in this system.
Publishers in UK can opt out of Google AI search results bbc.in/43cRRhJ

Honestly, we might soon be looking at a web where the primary consumers are agents, and you serve alternate pretty pages for humans. Agent first indexing

Hey Mati I learnt Polish, and Poles learn English, partially because of the old dubbing method. There are other possibly better methods, but sad to see it disappear. A little nostalgic Some might hate it, but maybe there is a niche. Watching any film with overdubbing from Tomasz Knapik, Krystyna Czubówna, Maciej Gudowski, Lucjan Szołajski or Janusz Szydłowski. (Fully licensed) Or using other famous English voices for foreign language films. I hope, at the very least, there will be colloquial & literal options in Poland. It used to be a fun challenge listening for translation errors
We are launching a revolutionary new dubbing model. ElevenLabs started from frustration with how movies were dubbed in Poland - often with a single voice for every character, male or female. That changes today - while preserving the emotion and feeling of the original.

This looks like a pretty awesome setup for Local SEO in Claude
At some point last year I asked myself: Why isn’t everyone using Claude for Local SEO? What if I could encode everything I know about local SEO into a system Claude could use? So I turned my knowledge and chat history into this 👇

New ship 🚢 Thanks to our partnership, Profound Agents now have a Noble node so you can secure brand mentions on auto-pilot. Now, you can build an Agent that: 1/ Knows the prompts that matter most to your brand 2/ Finds the third-party sources AI platforms are citing for those prompts 3/ Filters to the citations where your brand is not mentioned 4/ And exports those citation domains directly to your Noble workspace 5/ Then, Noble reaches out to publishers, negotiates placement, drafts content, and handles payment. You review the offers and accept with a click. We're shipping new pieces to Profound's action layer every week. But this one is especially exciting, because it means our customers can automate one of the biggest opportunities in AI Search: getting mentioned in more third-party citations. Huge thanks to Rahul Jain, Joshua Budman, and Nick Talone at Noble, plus Jack Traina, Nitish Natarajan, and Eliott Lee on Profound's side for shipping this.

Maybe I should aim higher My goal of neutralising walled gardens to enable GDP level efficiencies sadly is an order of magnitude behind Elon. 10m/person per day/week/month Fortunately, I can scale in space, too
SpaceX drops the hypiest IPO filing and says "we believe we have identified the largest TAM in human history", and you're like, my interplanetary east India company, what delectable spice have you decided to ship across the stars, and it's like... 22 trillion dollars of b2b saas

Reminder to self that I need to channel @chamath (at least a little) when pitching @bibbaidata x.com/i/status/2058553354280…

Chamath Lays Out the Case for SpaceX at $2 Trillion – Starlink: the most important internet infra project since the internet itself – Rockets: underlying platform that allows everything else to happen – AI: apps top layer, datacenter bottom layer – The Elon Flywheel: operating leverage ➡️ investment ➡️ competitive moat ➡️ capital moat ➡️ technology moat ➡️ execution/learning moat – Potential Tesla merger down the road – Elon’s premium for being “the guy” right now @chamath: “ If I'm asking myself, ‘Chamath, how do I underwrite SpaceX at $2T?’ Here's the basic math that I would do. Last year it did $18-19 billion. It'll probably do $25-30 billion this year. So I'm buying this thing at a fairly costly premium, right? So what am I buying? I'm buying probably the most important internet infrastructure project that's happened since the internet itself. That's going to scale to hundreds of millions of users, and the reason that's going to scale to hundreds of millions of users is it's just very useful, and it's just going to become cheaper and cheaper and cheaper. So that's number one. I'm buying a delivery infrastructure, I think over time, GDP plus 10, GDP plus 15, kind of a grower. So good business, valuable business, but it's the underlying platform that allows everything else to happen. And then I'm buying an AI business, which will be at the top level the apps, but at the bottom layer all the compute capability. So I suspect what happens is next year it's probably $40-45 billion. And then the year after that it probably doubles again, so then I'm buying it at 20x revenue. And you would say, ‘Well, why can you buy a company like this on revenue versus earnings and cash flow?’ And I think the reason is because what the revenue does is it gives him the operating leverage to go and invest in all of these other businesses that ultimately consolidate his differentiation and his competitive moat, because what he creates is a capital moat that then accelerates a technology moat, that then accelerates an execution and a learning moat. And that flywheel, when it starts to spin very quickly, and you would say, ‘Hey, hold on a second. It's probably spinning quickly now.’ I would say we're at the beginning of the beginning. He still has all these disparate assets. I still don't like the fact that Tesla's over here, and as I've told you, that will get merged in. And now you have this incredible corpus of physical capability, movement of all kinds, X, Y, and Z, right? That thing will look very cheap, I think, in a few years. And he has this one thing that nobody else, if you look at the big CEOs, who steps on stage where you're always curious, ‘Okay, what has he got up his sleeve?’ You know, the Steve Jobs, ‘Oh, and one more thing.’ He's the guy. Whether you like him or you hate him, he's the guy, and there's a premium that is well-deserved that comes with that.”

Starlink is needed on European trains. Certainly German E.g. Berlin <> Rostock connection is terrible DB also needs to retrofit phone/laptop charging
Replying to @PTrubey
Yes, SpaceX deliberately accepted lower revenue deals with airlines in exchange for making Starlink super easy to use and available to all passengers

$2k/month on Openclaw but probably good value Using someone else's server/app wouldn't be more efficient or as private I don't think "corporate" AI for personal use will ever keep up. It is impossible to compartmentalise to that extent
Replying to @marcusfu
Oh I am tokenmaxxing because that’s what it takes to be on the edge. Everything I do will be affordable for everyone in 18 months I think Right now I spend $2K/mo on tokens just for Openclaw
