Wow, thank you for the guide on agent37!
Deploying agents has always been a pain with dedicated computer.
I recently tested Agent37 and they have actually made it damn easy to setup Hermes, OpenClaw, OpenAI or any agent with a dedicated computer starting at just $4 per month.
Check out my guide below 👇

Terribly wrong...
Just in fundraising alone YC is such a huge advantage to founders.
Here's an interesting story. I met this pre-seed investor a while ago. During the call he had a terrible superior smug attitude. Never asked a single question, was visible dis-interested and I kept wondering why he even took the call. The call was over in under 10 mins.
2 weeks later the person finds out we're in YC and all of a sudden I saw a total change in attitude. Nothing changed, it was the same metrics, same numbers, same MRR, same team (solo).
And if that feels like an anomaly, it's not. Previously closing any pre-seed felt so incredibly hard. It was as if you're begging. Granted I have no experience doing this and perhaps that was a big part. But those are exactly the kind of founders who have a huge advantage with YC.
After YC, every conversation felt so easy. Most people now wanted to get-in as angels before the YC MFN date kicks in. Checks were wired the same day in many cases after a single conversation.
And if that wasn't enough, here's some more:
1. You're in an ecosystem of startups, many of whom are your potential customers, best friends, confidants and more
2. You're rate of learning in an environment like this shoots up. You learn how your peers are handling things, tips, hacks
3. Advise from the YC partners which might save years of your life doing the wrong thing
I could keep going, but the point is YC is a blessing, and this is a very ignorant take..

isn't this just common sense ?
Every company says they have Forward-Deployed Engineers now.
ElevenLabs CEO and former Palantir Deployment Strategist @mati gives one of the best explanations of what an FDE is—and says companies are missing the key piece of what actually makes FDEs valuable:
“In our case, FDEs are part of the product team. They are not part of the go-to-market team. They are deeply embedded in understanding what the roadmap of the product is.”
“You want all the FDEs to actually solve the customer problem and stretch your product in that direction. But the second thing you want them to do is bring any of that knowledge back to the product, so the product becomes better for the next generation of companies building on top of it. I feel like the second part is frequently missed.”
“The beauty of that is—everybody benefits because you work with one customer, learn, and you bring that into the product experience. Both of those customers benefited from having their product optimized for better work.”
“The domain expertise they have is still theirs. They can win based on their domain expertise. But the product experience of how you build based on that domain expertise can be abstracted, and can be reusable.”

there will be an order of magnitude more agents per human..
An investor told me recently: "looking back, your vision of 'every agent will need a computer' was so profound."
I remember people laughing out loud when I said it for the first time.
Today, Grok bot opens a computer for every single chat. Logs into Slack, clicks buttons, and does the work end to end - without any api access.
Because the computer exists.
The reasoning behind our vision was simple. It was obvious that agents are digital humans. If human knowledge workers need computers to work, so do agents.

I for one am excited about the future.. And I trust anthropic to do the right thing.
There is nothing here that we weren't already aware of other than more fear mongering..
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

if they're "weakly" held they shouldn't be "strong" opinions..
The smartest people I know have strong opinions weakly held and change them when new information arises
The dumbest people I know keep their opinions the same just so they can remain consistent
Time changes too fast try remain consistent, better to sail the waves to wherever they are taking you!

amen!
I'm fundraising and a question I often get is: "Why can't I build this with Claude Code?"
This is a lazy investor question.
Contrary to what VCs/founders might think, normal people hate software.
18 months after Claude Code launched, less than 0.5% of the world actually use it.
Just because you once vibe-coded a purple website doesn't mean everyone else will.
People are busy with messy kids, trying to get promoted at work, balancing a diet, etc.
Software is never a priority.

ok, I really don't like astra.
any sufficiently long task, astra half-asses the job and let's it be.. I don't know if this is a codex harness thing or a model context window limitation, etc.
Fable on the other hand, takes care of things end-to-end..

not impressed with astra..
fable seems to do much better in tasks like design and completion of a task.
