I don't know what you guys do for a living, but here on X everyone's always discussing AI tools, AI models, software (app) development, and so on. I'm curious — how many of you are business owners in traditional industries? Restaurants, industrial goods, B2C, B2B trading? I'm one of them. I run a B2B business in what most people would call a traditional industry: international trading. I've been experimenting with AI tools for a while, starting with the simple stuff — proofreading, content generation, marketing — and moving into building actual business tools and web apps. For example, I had ChatGPT generate the HTML for a weight calculator for our products, then pasted it into Elementor on our WordPress site. It took about 3 hours to get everything right — shape selection, density, dimensions, quantities — and it works. More recently I've been picking up things like setting up SSH keys, networking multiple PCs together, running a VPS, using Tailscale, and working with Git and GitHub. I had to learn concepts like pull requests and pushes — just a few weeks ago I was still pushing feature updates and bug fixes straight to our production server. These things sound complicated, and I wouldn't say I understand SSH 100% even now. But nailing down these basics and setting up my own development environment has been huge. I also learned how to connect AI models to external software via MCP — I used Claude Code to build MCP servers for our own web app, so now I can work with it from Muse or ChatGPT. These days, creating an invoice doesn't even require opening the web app — I press and hold the Action button on my iPhone, tell Muse the details out loud, and the invoice is sitting ready on our web app when I finish talking. I can even have it emailed straight to the customer. I believe this kind of personal infrastructure is about to become an essential business skill. Traditionally, running a business meant you didn't need to know the technical details — you outsourced them. You don't build your own website or set up your own ERP; you hire someone so you can focus on your core work. The problem is, outsourced solutions are never quite perfect. But when you combine deep domain expertise with the ability to build your own tools, AI becomes far more than a chat box. That personal infrastructure makes all the difference. Curious how you guys feel about this.

Getting the most out of Opus 5.5 in Claude and Claude Code / claude.dev Blog claude.dev/blog/getting-the-…

Claude suspended my account for rule violations, even though I was doing my usual work, the same things I have done throughout the year -coding -researching -writing Nothing illegal @karpathy @bcherny would appreciate if you could help, the appeal process is 10 days :(

We’re moving from “AI helps me work” to “AI works and I approve.” That transition feels bigger than people realize.

Started buying SpaceXAI from today. What is your reason for holding $SPCX ?

I agree. I’be also been using Muse for my business. I’m going to buy more $meta now.

It's 1 AM, and I find myself shouting outside while walking my dog, giving Muse a lecture.

I feel like my job now is just helping agents talk to agents. I ask Claude for something, Claude asks me to communicate that to Muse, and then I copy and paste Muse's response back to Claude to build something. I'm also helping these agents click, type passwords, and process payments when needed.

Does anyone know how to get in touch with the warehouse of SpeedX in Arlington Heights, IL? They attempted delivery three times according to the shipping status, two times on weekends and once late in the evening. The records showed it couldn't be delivered, so they brought the parcel back, and now it says the parcel was disposed of. I don't understand why. Why can't they just leave it on the doorstep? I contacted them every way I possibly could to ask them to leave the package on the doorstep, but there was no answer. No one even calls, and calling customer service is not helpful at all.

Game over. See you in eight hours.

I started rendering out of interest a few days ago after I got my Mac mini M5 Pro with a 20-core GPU, and I have been making positive progress on it. The more I do, the more excited I feel. I never realized that people like me could do this type of work, just turning my imagination into reality, into real videos of photorealistic scenes. I've been dreaming about this since many years ago when I started my business. I wanted to use these videos for marketing but never figured out how to do it, and it was always too expensive to have them produced. Now, it's just a matter of one or a few hours. This experience is similar to a few months ago when I first started. At the beginning, I just wanted to build an invoice generator with my own logo on it. Then it expanded from a simple invoice generator to a complete business tool: a web app with a whole lot of functionalities where I can create quotes, convert quotes to invoices, record payments, and much more. It has been supercharging and serving my business, saving me time for a few months now. I don't know what the next big thing will be for me as a founder and business owner, but I think the future is bright.

I started to become addicted to rendering, exploring what geometry nodes can do with Blender for my marketing purposes. I can create very high-end, expensive-looking rendering videos to put on my website. I look forward to, and am excited about, how things will turn out.

Here’s to the wanting. Here’s to the dreaming. Here’s to everyone.

I used Claude Opus 5.5 to create this demonstration to show my customer how 2K injection molding is done. It's so amazing, non-technical people like me can do such work in a very short period of time.

I'm having Muse guide me through options trading and help me set my strategy. On September 25, I sold 1 MSTR call option — $180 strike, expiring October 2, 2026 — collecting $199.50 in premium (a covered call, backed by shares I already own). On September 26, after the option's value had decayed by about 50%, I bought it back for $97, locking in a net profit of roughly $101. A complete sell-and-close round trip, executed exactly according to plan.
