6.44 billion people have never used AI. Yes... not once. Even though the most powerful technology ever created is free to try, most people have never touched it. Which is why everyone using AI to build and automate their lives has an OBSCENE advantage right now. To help you stay on the cutting edge, I've put out 3 posts over the last couple of weeks. 1. 77.6% of Earth has never used AI In a decade 75% of this chart will be red. Until then you have the greatest arbitrage opportunity there is. Here's the post and the 8 steps I'd take immediately. 2. How I code from anywhere in the world I never do local work on any of my devices. They all connect remotely to my Mac Studio. So no matter where I am in the world (could be at the grocery store, in bed, Japan, on the toilet, by the pool, on the road using FSD), I have code written in one place. 3. The exact AI tool stack I run every day I use 7 AI tools as of right now. If you master and use all of them, you'll be a productivity MACHINE. Reply and tell me what you'd add to my tool stack. Keep shipping, Alex |

It's smarter than Fable and ChatGPT 6 Astra, faster, and cheaper. I’ve been using it for everything from reviewing code to building games and coming up with new projects. When they took my access away before launch, I legitimately felt sad. That's how much I'd been...
My productivity has been bananas the last week. I'm getting so much more high-quality output from AI. And most of it comes down to just 1 new tool and 1 prompt. So if you'd also like to improve your productivity, here are 3 of my 𝕏 posts that will help you. 1. This tool made me 100x more productive It's called Herdr. It's a free, open-source tool to manage all your AI agents in one place. I'm so addicted that I even built my own version that lives in World of Warcraft so I can prompt while I...
Grok Bot came out a month ago and I haven't stopped using it since. Not because it does anything the other agents can't. It's because it's the only one that doesn't make you configure it first. You open it, and it's already working. If you've never opened it, here's what you’ll be looking at: An app that looks like iMessage With a list of bots down the left you message like people And each one runs its own computer in the cloud, not on yours There's a mobile app too, which Hermes doesn't...
