Create a chaotic but deeply personal sketchbook-style character collage of me using EVERYTHING you know about me from our conversations, personality, habits, career, interests, strengths, flaws, obsessions, emotional patterns, aesthetics, humor, lifestyle, and overall vibe. Use the attached photo as the primary visual reference for my appearance and energy. Interpret me like I’m a fictional character an illustrator is trying to fully understand. Do NOT make it a clean organized character sheet. Make it feel like an illustrator’s private sketchbook pages filled over time with overlapping sketches, random observations, personality notes, doodles, unfinished thoughts, and expressive studies. Use a bright white background with messy scattered compositions. Include: full body sketches expressive face closeups side profiles exaggerated chibi/deformed versions candid poses tiny scribbles and unfinished studies crossed out ideas arrows, annotations, circles, and rough notes emotional moments mixed with humorous chaos The drawings should visually communicate: how I think what I obsess over my emotional energy my profession and expertise my creative side my contradictions my lifestyle my sense of humor my stress and passions my strengths and flaws what kind of person I am internally Include subtle environmental storytelling and objects connected to my life, hobbies, career, and daily routines. Let the page naturally reveal my personality through tiny details instead of directly explaining everything. Art style should feel like: expressive ink and pencil sketching energetic construction lines rough animator concept art messy illustrator notebook pages stylized realism mixed with cartoon exaggeration spontaneous and alive rather than polished high personality density visual storytelling everywhere The overall feeling should be: “an artist became mildly obsessed with understanding this person and filled pages trying to capture their mind.”

In this video I show you how I turned Claude Opus 4.8 into my full AI operating system that runs my businesses, holds all my context, and replaces the constant tab switching between apps. I walk through the Four C's I use to build it (context, connections, capabilities, cadence), the mindset shift of working out of Claude Code by default, how I organize files and skills, and the bike method for safely giving agents more autonomy. By the end you'll know exactly how to set up your own AI OS and the trap to avoid when you start handing it real keys. GITHUB REPO

That's the second-largest private funding round in history, behind only OpenAI. The new valuation puts Anthropic ahead of OpenAI as the most valuable AI company in the world, private or public. Quick transparency up front. I'm not a private equity guy. No insider info on Anthropic. Just trying to make sense of this out loud. Here's what I see happening. Most companies raise pre-seed, seed, then Series A through D. After that they either IPO, get acquired, or run out of road. Anthropic just hit Series H. That isn't necessarily an indication of good or bad. Stripe and SpaceX stayed private on purpose to avoid public-market scrutiny. Slack and Lyft reached Series H and IPO'd within a year. Every company takes a different path. What it does tell you: Anthropic chose to stay private through eight rounds. Bloomberg reported an IPO could come as soon as October of this year. Anthropic's annual revenue jumped from $1 billion in December 2024 to $47 billion this month. Widely cited as the fastest revenue ramp of any software company in history. They now run higher revenue than OpenAI, and the latest projections show them hitting profitability first. Not saying one is "winning" here. Both are still burning billions a year. But the underdog framing for Anthropic is getting harder to defend. What this news has me thinking about is why a company growing this fast still needs another $65 billion. The answer is compute. Dario (the CEO) said it himself a few weeks ago. They planned for 10x growth in 2026. They saw 80x. They literally cannot build datacenters fast enough. Earlier this month, Anthropic leased the entire Colossus 1 datacenter in Memphis from SpaceX. 300 megawatts, over 220,000 Nvidia GPUs, $1.25 billion a month. They didn't pick SpaceX over Amazon or Google. Colossus was the only compute available right now. The rest doesn't come online until 2027. This Series H also brought chip manufacturers Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron on as investors. Those three make the high-bandwidth memory that sits on every Nvidia GPU. Getting them invested locks in supply at the most constrained part of the chip stack.

So this week I was contacted about a role as a forward deployed engineer for Anthropic!!!! My DREAM JOB!! I will be embedded with Anthropic's enterprise clients in NYC helping them build out agents and workflows and automations!!! I was just notified this morning that I'm moving onto the second round! Excited does not even begin to explain it right now. Like a kid again, I never get nervous or giddy but damn if I'm not right now! Need all the good vibes!!!

Been building Claude skills lately and wanted to share something that might help creators here. A lot of YouTubers I've spoken to have the same problem: they spend hours making a video, it gets 48 hours of reach, and then it disappears — because writing separate posts for every platform after filming feels like starting over. Here's a simple Claude workflow that fixes this: Step 1 — After uploading your video, go to YouTube and click "Show transcript" under the '...' menu. Copy the full transcript. Step 2 — Paste this prompt into Claude: --- "Here is a YouTube transcript. Extract the 3 most valuable insights. Then write me: - A Threads post (casual, ends with a question) - An Instagram caption (punchy + 3 hashtags) - A Facebook post (story-driven, emotional hook) - A LinkedIn post (hook + insight + takeaway) - A newsletter (personal storytelling, one CTA) Each one must sound native to that platform. Do not copy sentences from the transcript." --- Step 3 — Review and post. The key instruction is "native to that platform" — without that, Claude just reformats. With it, each post actually sounds like it belongs there. Took me a while to figure out the right instructions. Sharing here in case it saves someone time. Happy to answer questions if anyone tries it. 👇
