Someone just told me that 35 is "too old" to start building on 𝕏. 👴🏻 lmao That's wild to me. - You know what's actually too old? When you've drawn your last breath. ☠️ Anything earlier than that is just an excuse driven by fear and avoidance. - The biggest killer of success is never starting at all. Your best content is still ahead of you. 👨🏻‍💻 Your biggest wins are still coming. 🔥 But only if you stop waiting and start building. ⚒️ - Drop a link to your latest, below, so that we can all support you in this journey. 👇🏻

Alex is right 👇🏻 We all have such incredible tools at our disposal. It’s quite a time to be alive, for all who take note and learn to wield the awesome power that all of these tools put into our hands!
ChatGPT 5.5 + ChatGPT Image 2 is the sickest combo Spent 4 hours straight developing a design language for my app. Most fun I had with AI in months You guys have to try this out: 1. Get 4 or 5 inspiration images. Just vibes you like 2. Ask GPT 5.5 what the qualities are of those images 3. Describe the app you're working on 4. Ask to generate a mood board of the inspiration design style mixed with the qualities of your app 5. Keep going back and forth with the AI tweaking the mood board and design language until it feels like it matches what you want for your app. Keep dropping in more inspiration images as you go. Like new spices being added to the dish 6. Spend hours doing this. Keep massaging it until the images and mood boards match the style you want 7. When ready, get a final description and put it into an AI design tool to get a final interface Was a blast doing this for hours and got a final feel/design language for my app HIM Truly the best part about AI is that it takes away all the gatekeeping. All the technical skills necessary. All the knowledge moats. All that's left is pure expression of creativity. Carve off a couple hours tonight and just let your creativity flow

Commitment and grit… Those are the biggest flex and the most powerful levers available. 👇🏻
Your biggest flex isn't being consistent when everything is working It's having the guts to be consistent and keep going when nothing's progressing at all

If you’re out there making products, and especially AI products, this is how you win. 👇🏻
consumer products need utility for sure. but utility alone rarely creates pull. the products that actually earn repeated attention tend to fuse usefulness with something more alive with things like play, delight, curiosity, aesthetic pleasure, & entertainment. most ai products today lean far too hard on pure utility & miss that second layer entirely. the winning ai consumer product likely won’t win on pure capability alone. it’ll win by merging capability with entertainment so tightly that using it feels less like labor & more like desire.

As some of you know I’ve been building TheStartUpCircle community now for about 18 months. Built an awesome community of entrepreneurs, innovators and just overall builders looking to earn more money online through X or business. As communities are being Shut Down May 6th this obviously became a slight problem as what I’ve build could be lost. The people I have met through TheStartUpCircle has been incredible. It’s been a fantastic way of meeting some of my bestfriends on this platform because of it and through the help of spaces. So in order to save those who are genuinely interested, I’m going to be building on a third partly platform, Skool, Whop or maybe even Discord under the same name for free ofc. Keep on eye on that because we are just getting started. And finally I wanna give a huge shoutout to @TimoCodes @TheRevenueRonin (Justin) @andywergedal @mariannehere @AunySillyMe and many more for keeping the community alive and active throughout the times. They are all worth checking out.
Today we're announcing two product changes for organizing communities on X: 1. XChat now supports joinable links for groupchats. Create a public link & share direct to Timeline. With support for 350 members per chat (and growing), Groupchat Links are the fastest way to bring people together on X. 2. Due to declining usage, we're deprecating X Communities on May 6. To migrate your Community's members, pin your groupchat link so people can join it over the next 2 weeks. This is part of our broader effort to simplify the experience on X. Make no mistake: we are investing heavily in niche communities with the launch of Custom Timelines—and much more to come.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Communities' purpose is different from chat. Communities works asynchronously, meaning members can browse posts and choose which ones to engage with. help.x.com/en/using-x/com…

Made a little tip guide on how I go about drawing humans and figured I’d share it here if anyone wants it. Anything I omitted like fingers I don’t really know how to help with unfortunately lol but I hope you find something helpful in here. :)

Everything is changing, all around us right now… There’s going to be massive upheaval in almost every industry. Do yourself, and your loved ones who depend on you, a huge favor and do what Kevin suggests here:
Please do this immediately: Find 1 high income skill that interest you. Copywriting, brand building, design, etc. Learn as much as you can about the topic. Books, YouTube, podcasts, etc. Start creating content around your niche everyday. Talk about it non stop and become THAT guy in your market. Next you’ll want to create 5 pieces of work in your niche. That being: Articles, edited videos, etc. It doesn’t have to be a paid client, just proof of work. Then you’ll DM everyone who follows you. Because they followed you, there’s a better chance they’re interested in your services. Make it personalized, not cold or automated. *Send them a Screenshot with proof of your work* If they say yes: Get them on a call and close.

Everyone argues about timelines and AGI, but Anthropic just shipped Claude Opus 4.7 and it’s arguably the biggest quality-of-life leap for devs we’ve had in months. I’m reading through the release notes and the focus on long-horizon, multi-step agent workflows is wild. Opus 4.7 doesn't just give up when it hits a tool error anymore… it pushes through, debugs its own logic, and verifies the output before reporting back. A few other massive wins: • Vision is bumped to 3.75 megapixels • A new ‘xhigh’ reasoning tier, which sits between the ‘high’ and ‘max tiers, to help us dial in exactly how much it thinks • A new/ultrareview slash command that launches a dedicated review session, mimicking an experienced human reviewer who has extreme attention to detail • Full Auto mode for Claude Code Max users • Costs the exact same as 4.6 If you're building agents or doing any serious multi-file AI coding, 4.7 is the new daily driver. Period.

Are you ready? Big things are on the way!
This is one of the most important weeks of your life It is more than likely both Opus 4.7 and ChatGPT 5.5 will release in the next few days Both will be humanity shifting technologies When massive shifts drop like this you need to do EVERYTHING in your power to be using them the moment they come out You need to be calling in sick from work You need to be asking your significant others to watch the kids You need to be faking your death so your friends don't call you You do what it takes to get your hands on these pieces of technology When we have nuclear shifts in the landscape, massive opportunities arise. This will be one of those times There's going to be a short time period after the release of these models where it will be easier and faster than ever to build revolutionary products, and not many people will be doing it If you jump on these opportunities, you can build life changing wealth. These are the times where people put on the AI sorting hat and that hat says either "permanent underclass" or "permanent overclass" Take these actions now: • Download Claude Code Desktop • Download Codex app • Get your OpenClaw ready for the update • Learn these tools inside and out • Moment the new models drop plug them in and use them Your entire lineage is depending on this

Not everything here on 𝕏 is worth your time & attention. This post, though… This one, you should stop & read, right now. Slowly With ALL of your attention & focus Take it seriously & actually do what Kevin outlined here, and it’ll change your life. Seriously. Do it. 👇🏻

It has made me my first: $1 $10 $100 $1,000 $10,000 $100,000 And soon to be 1 million (when scaled). You’re not stupid. You’re just not clear on how to get started. And I just wrote it all down for you.

Take the time to get some sort of local AI set up, so you can play around with it. There are many different paths to accomplish this. Some are very easy. Set yourself up for success in the future by setting aside time to learn how to do all this now.
You're right, local models aren't as good as cloud models That's not the point though The point is to have free, private intelligence that can do work for you 24/7 around the clock I have a 3 local models scraping Reddit, product hunt, and other sites 24/7 Looking for challenges to solve That model hands all of those challenges to another local model That model takes the challenges, then builds apps to solve those challenges A 24/7/365 software factory that never sleeps Would never be possible in a million years with cloud models. Would cost me $10,000 a month in tokens. I paid that one time up front for a Mac Studio that runs this Yes Claude Opus 4.6 is smarter than Qwen 3.5. But Qwen 3.5 running locally is still Sonnet 4.5 level. Just 6 months behind. Think about how good it will be 6 months from now. Nvidia just entered the local race. They are going to change EVERYTHING That's not even counting all the other benefits: 1. You can't get banned for using the model the wrong way 2. Costs just the price of electricity 3. Completely private. No AI execs reading your logs 4. 0 latency 5. Completely customizable This is the future. Become sovereign.

This is the best news of 2026 Nvidia is going all in on open models. Something no other American AI company has had the balls to do Open source is the American way. Democratized, equal opportunity for all. Yet China has been dominating on this. No more Here's what this means: Nvidia, will spend BILLIONS on developing models you can run on local devices. Fully private, secure, and free In fact, today they released Nemotron 3, a 120b parameter model with 1 million token context window. Revolutionary. I'm running it on my DGX Spark as we speak You'll be able to fully run frontier level models on your desk, no APIs, no fees, no limits AI agents doing work for you 24/7 This is INCREDIBLE news Up until this point it's been all Chinese models. Now America has entered the race. I FULLY expect Apple to make similar announcements soon You need to prepare for this immediately: 1. Depending on your hardware, download an open source model that's appropriate for it 2. Ask your OpenClaw to do this for you 3. Run it, and use it for small tasks 4. Understand from a deep level how it works 5. Read books to get a deeper understanding of LLMs (I like Deep Learning by John D Kelleher) 6. Start building agents that utilize these open models It cannot be stated enough how incredible this is that Nvidia is entering the open source race America is open source. America is democratized, equal opportunity to success. And now we're finally acting like it 🇺🇸
Scoop from me: Nvidia will spend a total of $26 billion over the next five years building the world's best open source models. America is back in the open source AI race! wired.com/story/nvidia-inves…
