Robots are going wild tbh,

I build startups & AI Agents every day & night, but I'm so jealous of those who build robots & physical automations.

Sharing my 18 robo bookmarks:

1. Your next girlfriend:

2. This is why those electronics from China are so cheap.

If this is possible, then i guess we can automate almost any factory worker, and it's just a matter of time until humans dont have to be occupied by these super boring jobs

3. This one can fold laundry using a neural net. Which means: nobody has hardcoded this bot to do what it does. They just show him how it can be done and he simply learns (like humans)

4. The way this robot runs looks more human than when I do it :D

5. Tesla Optimus robot is progressing super fast. If I was Elon, I'd drop the Car business and bet it all on humanoid robots

6. The robotic surgeries will probably replace human doctors, because robots can be like 1000x more precise for typical operations

7. The next war will be fought using drones & robots instead of humans. Idk if that's good or bad, just stating the fact here

8. This robot can steal cars :D

9. Robots can fix the infrastructure

10. They can cook

11. This robot replaces people working at the gas stations

12. Amazon seems to be on track to soon have more robots than employees.

My wild guess is that there will be an "automation tax" imposed by the governments (similar to the carbon tax). To collect the money for the UBI

13. Hopefully, these robots don't yet have long-term memories and emotions
14.
14. Dyson is growing strawberries with robots.

It's the best and cutest automated farm I've ever seen. It looks so cool that I thought it's AI generated first.

15. Remember we had the Tamagotchi thing?

I think our kids soon will have a real physical thing like that

16. Robots are winning on talent shows

17. Even the bricklayers aren't immune to the automation

18.

Alright, enough, I'll go to sleep now,

let me save you $5,000 on appmafia course:

( how you can exploit a glitch in the VC money matrix )

(( if money is all you need ))
1. Attention-marketing:

> create a controversy
> get everyone to comment/quote/mention your brand with their "takes on it"
> throw even more wood into the fire so that the entire internet is talking about you (90% hating, 10% loving)
> earn followers & money
2. Influencer-marketing:

> book 100 social media infuencers to mention your brand & engage with each other on these posts
> trick algorithms to feature it in "what's happening/news" to turn it into "current thing"
> the crowd can't tell if the hype is fake, so they'll engage

I've tried all (61 😵‍💫) AI Coding Agents & IDEs

[Emergent, CodeRabbit, Anything, Zed, Factory, Cursor, Windsurf, Wrapifai, Copilot, Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit, MarsX, Canva, Devin, Github Spark, Figma Make, Cline & more]

The most complete list ever made (with demos & notes):
1/ @EmergentLabsHQ
- purely vibe coding tool (you need zero code skills)
- works best for building micro SaaS on web
- has its own AI keys (no need to figure things out)
- I'd say: go for it if you are non-technical with an idea
2/ @coderabbitai
- helps to review the code
- works great when I need to review my vibe coded project, but I dont wanna read all the code
- finds bugs, security holes & suggests improvements

The Tech Drama recap for July:

[windsurf, soham, google, openai, devin, agi, cluely, truely, amazon, elon, nikita, ilya, sam, satya, ai browsers, grok4, jeff bezos, roy]

(you can thank me later, for saving you weeks of doomscrolling)
1. One dude cemented his spot as the idol of a new era next to Hawk Tuah, "cheat on everything guy", "$20M ARR in 7 hours bro" & bonny blue.

He worked (pretended to work) at 15 YC-backed startups at once. When caught, claiming it was to make ends meet. Maybe he has 500 kids or India is costlier than we thought
2. Drama of the year:
> OpenAI acquires WIndsurf for $3B
> Satya Nutella (the real openai boss) kills the deal to save VS code+Copilot
> Google hires windsurf founders for $2.4B
> Devin hires the remaining 250 devs into the Pied Piper office to replace their AI developers

How I got my first 100 users for each of my 24 startups:
1. Cold emails:

- go for quality, not quantity
send to 20 people; if no reply, change the copy and resend. repeat until 2 replies.
- make it super short and include the outcome E.g. for @listingbott I'd send this "100 backlinks from relevant directories in one click"
2. Social media DMs (Li, X, IG, FB, RD, etc)
- send 15 sec loom with an audit of their biz/site/profile...where the preview makes it obvious it's personalized.
- impress them with your quick effort
- e.g. for @seobotai it'd be: "SEO audit of their website"

I had a dream tonight, it was the year 2055, I saw this:

1. Attention is the ultimate currency that replaced money, time & resources
2. Work is optional (full abundance with artificial scarcity)
3. 99% of the population doesn't work, they...
...play e-games, all life
4. Every human owns a generic humanoid robot, as we own smartphones
5. Unethical games dominate: Hunger Games, Squid Games, Gladiator Games, Mortal Combat, and more
6. Children are produced in the lab and taken care of by robo-parents
7. The invention of anti-aging medicine completely eliminated reproduction in rich cities
8. The ww3 is ongoing in the form of never-ending drone/tech/ai/info wars, very similar to sports games, with minimal civilian casualties

> Traditional SaaS is done (soon)
> commoditized
> founders clone successful products & halve the price
> a race to the bottom, down to $0
> everything is about to look & work the same: the social mediaschedulers, web builders, calendar apps, etc

I think this is what comes next:
AI Agent will dominate the software.

AI Agents will be the only proxy between humans and machines.
Non-AI software will still be necessary, but it'll be used by AI, not humans.

Today, we build software for humans, tomorrow, we'll build for agents.

The Future of UX:
Old UX will be gone and most traditional software will simply expose API for other agents(e.g., MCP servers).

The new UX: chat, canvas, mindmap, AR

Most consumer UX will be AR, e.g. we'll be wearing glasses and AI will augment the interface on top of the real world.

Canvas UX:
