A guy was paying $200/mo for Claude Max. His... subscription burned through in 3 hours of work. He bought a base Mac Mini for $599. Installed 5 local models on it. One command. One flag. His office neighbors thought he was mining crypto. He just taught the machine to sort messages, compress context, and keep the system alive while he sleeps. At 4am Claude hit its rate limit. The local model picked up. In the morning he read the logs - everything worked. He didn't even wake up. A team doing the same thing - that's 3 engineers and $15,000/mo on API costs. He paid $599 once. 35 billion parameters on 16 gigs of memory. Everyone said impossible. One flag in one command proved them all wrong. And people like him - there's only a handful so far.show more

A 25-year-old guy from China turned into a girl... and started a stream; he wanted to joke around, but in the end, he earned $3,583 in 5 hours He used Claude to change his appearance in real-time Claude changed his face, the background, and even his voice He started the stream on TikTok, YouTube, and Kick: he wanted to test if people would realize it was AI Men liked this girl so much that they started donating just for one smile from her Ten minutes later, the first donation of $200 arrived, five minutes later another one, and in total, in 5 hours of streaming, he earned $3,583 It all started as a joke; never give up on your ideasshow more

A 17-year-old student spent $4,200 on 7 Mac minis.... Small silver boxes. Stacked on a desk. Connected in one room. From the outside, it looked like a stupid purchase. But inside, it wasn't just 7 computers. It was Skills. Hooks. Memory. Worktrees. One machine handled repeatable tasks. One ran checks automatically. One kept context between sessions. Others ran parallel jobs without touching each other's work. While most people were still typing the same instructions again and again, his setup was already moving. A lot of people pay $200 a month for Claude and still use maybe 20% of it. He built a system around it. Skills turned repeated work into reusable workflows. Hooks made actions fire automatically. Memory stopped every session from starting at zero. Worktrees let multiple tasks run at the same time without collisions. That changed everything. Setup time: under 1 hour once. Time returned: 3 to 5 hours every day. He spent $4,200 once. He made $16,000 in the first week. Not because he found a secret tool. Not because he wrote magical prompts. Because he stopped using it like a chatbot and started using it like infrastructure. 7 Mac minis. 1 student. $4,200 in. $16,000 out. And most people would still call it just a stack of computers.show more

A 17 year old high schooler told his mom... he needed a Steam Deck for school. She said no, it's a gaming console. He said it runs Linux. She didn't know what that means. Bought it for his birthday. $280. He never installed a single game on it. Opened the terminal, installed Claude Code and typed his first command while holding the device like a PlayStation controller. Thumbsticks on both sides. Code editor in the middle. The most ridiculous dev setup anyone has ever seen. At second 0:09 you can read what he typed into the terminal: claude your code looks like absolute shit Claude didn't argue. Just started rewriting the shader, adding bloom effects, fixing chromatic aberration and improving the particle system. On a gaming console held in two hands on a couch. His friends play Fortnite on their Steam Decks. He builds software on his while lying in bed. He set up Claude Code with custom skills, hooks that auto run tests every time a file is saved and memory that remembers every project across sessions. The stuff most developers pay $200 a month for and use at maybe 20% capacity. He runs it on a $280 handheld and squeezes out every feature. Within three weeks he had built and sold four small apps to local businesses. A booking page for a barber shop, an inventory tracker for a vape store, a menu site for a taco truck and a scheduling tool for a dog groomer. All built on a Steam Deck in his bedroom. All coded by Claude while he gave instructions with his thumbs. Made over $13,000 in his first month. His mom still thinks he plays games on it. His teacher caught him using it during study hall. Looked at the screen expecting a game. Saw green code scrolling and Claude asking: Do you want to make this edit to main.js ? Teacher had no idea what she was looking at. Told him to put it away. He closed the lid. Claude kept running inside. A $280 gaming console that his mom bought thinking it was a toy is now a development workstation that earns more per month than her car payment. Setup time: 20 minutes once. Time he saves every day: 3 to 5 hours. Money made in month one: $13,000. Games installed: zero. His grandpa asked him to install FIFA last weekend. He said the console is busy. Grandpa asked doing what. He said working. Grandpa didn't ask again.show more

A regular American developer bought $1,400 worth and stacked... seven Mac Minis on top of each other and connected them with metal cables. Neighbors thought he was building a mining server. His wife thought he'd lost his mind. He just didn't want to pay $15,000 a month for a dev team. On the screen - a diagram. Seven Mac Minis connected via Ethernet working as one machine. EXO framework distributes tasks between them automatically. 11.44 TFLOPS each. Together - more than most cloud servers that companies pay thousands for every month. He paid $1,400 for the hardware once. 38 agents from GitHub, 156 skills. A system that learns from session to session and in two weeks writes code just like he does - but seven times faster because it runs on seven machines in parallel. A task that took a junior dev 10-12 hours - the tower closes in 20 minutes. One founder with this setup ships a product like a team of eight people. For $20 a month instead of $120,000 a year. This 7 Mac Mini setup helped him win the Anthropic hackathon and make $26,000 without a team.show more

JUST IN: The man who went viral for punching... someone in the face, says he was a victim of four "Queers for Palestine" protesters who allegedly assaulted him. Moelis & Co banker Jonathan Kaye is claiming he was "attacked" before being caught on film throwing a punch. Kaye says he was being taunted after he told the protesters they were "on the wrong side." "He just said "you are on the wrong side", and then the four of them came at him, they threw liquids at him. He didn't know what the liquid was. They were shouting slurs at him," a friend told the Daily Mail. "He fell or he was chest bumped, and can't remember that bit. But he ended up on the pavement with them four over him." "He got up and swung at one as he was trying to escape, and then he ran." Kaye is Jewish according to the source. "It was a super anti-Semitic attack of four individuals ganging up against one Jewish man."show more

Most people see a Mac Mini as a home... computer. He saw a $300 invoice waiting to happen. A guy in Shenzhen figured out that every early-stage startup, every founder, every small business owner needs the same thing, someone to tell them what their competitors are doing and where the gaps are. Nobody wants to pay $2,000 for a research firm. Nobody wants to wait a week. He set up Hermes on a laptop. Local model. No API costs. First report took 15 minutes. He charged $300 and delivered same day. Then he bought another machine. Then another. Now there are 65 Mac Minis on metal shelves in his apartment. Each one runs its own agent. Each agent has its own skills folder that grows every time it completes a task. Month one: $3,200. Month three: $9,600. The tool: Hermes Agent. Free on GitHub. The model: Qwen 3.6 27B. Also free. Total monthly cost: $2 in electricity. The hardware paid for itself in week two. The shelves haven't changed. He just keeps adding machines.show more

A kid in my DMs asked me if $533... in two days is good. He launched his store 48 hours ago. He's 16. 30 orders. 5% conversion rate. Day two. Most people spend two days picking a niche. This kid already has 30 customers. I asked him how he built it. He said he described what he wanted to Claude and it did everything. Product pages, descriptions, ads. One evening and $20. Then he asked me how to set up taxes. He doesn't even know how taxes work yet. He sent me everything he used. All of it is in the article.show more

A 22-year-old guy from Japan created an AI ladyboy... as a joke, and you won't believe this, 468 men paid to watch it To create the look, he used Claude The idea came to him spontaneously for fun. He wrote a prompt, Claude generated the first video, and the guy posted it on TikTok Within 25 hours, the video hit 140,000 views, and he realized people were interested, so he kept posting A week later, he already had 12,500 followers and 3.2 million views. But he didn't stop there; he created an account on Fanvue with a paid subscription 9 days later, 468 men had signed up for the paid subscription Subscription price: $5.99 Revenue: $2,803 Out-of-the-box thinking and AI are all you needshow more

My friend who bought a new Model 3 today... was convinced that the 3 couldn’t be quieter than his Genesis. He had an injury that basically made his voice the volume of a whisper years ago Talking in the phone in the car is trouble for him because he can’t speak louder than a quiet whisper. I told him to try voice command in the Model 3 and the look in his face as the car picked up every word he said precisely was so fun to see the surprise on his face! He called me on his way home saying this is the best most quietest car he’s ever driven. Before today he has never driven any tesla and now 8 hours later can’t enjoy driving anything else!🔥🔥🔥show more

A 20-year-old student from China, Li Hao, built an... AI speed radar with Claude alone and sold it to a city district for $317,000 He wrote the whole thing in 9 days, spending about $20 on Claude API calls He set an old camera on his balcony, pointed it at the intersection below, and let Claude watch the road Claude tags every car, motorbike and pedestrian in real time, 653 in five minutes, and flags anyone over the limit The moment a car speeds, Claude clips the video, reads the license plate, matches the owner, and emails the fine on its own A normal radar takes one photo and misses half the time. Claude records full video, so there is nothing to dispute, and the fines go out with no operator He walked into the district office with a flash drive and asked for 10 minutes. he left with a contract Every Claude config he used is in the articleshow more

sometimes i think abt how hardworking and disciplined minho... has been for all his life .. he volunteered at elderly homes, he took on multiple jobs while also studying to afford dance classes, he lived alone at a young age, he donated to sponsor children, he gave what he could to others even when he didn’t have much himself.. he took in stray kitties without hesitation and without even asking his mom first, just cus of how kind his heart is… </3 and even while he was working towards his dream he put others before himself along the way.. he never head it easy, he was never given anything for free… he always had to work hard for it and he never complained he got eliminated on the survival show for the sole reason of using his pain for engagement. he walked home in the rain cus he felt like he didn’t deserve a taxi. they broke him and disrespected him and he still showed up the next day to keep going and give everything he has. his dedication and commitment is insane ;; it honestly makes me so emotional… i feel sad thinking abt everything he went thru but at the same time i know this was always his dream. i don’t care abt streams or charts at all but seeing where the group is now just gives me so much relief. it means all his effort and hard work wasn’t for nothing :( i’m just rly proud for him… i’m so glad he got to achieve what he worked so hard for. today he’s able to buy the prettiest toys and treats for his kitties, able to spoil his family, able to casually buy a gucci bag for his dads bday… his face is on the biggest screens, everyone knows him. he must feel so accomplished </3 u came so far. i’m so so so proud of u minho. u deserve everything u have and so much moreshow more

A 24-year-old guy from China created 9 AI girls... in one apartment, and 1,840 men bought paid subscriptions to follow them Subscription price: $9.99 Total revenue: $18,380 Investment: $160 spent on Claude for generation He didn't pick one face. He built a roster. Same pose. Same room. Nine different looks. Devil horns, office girl, glossy tights, soft girl, goth — each one a separate account. At first he posted free clips on TikTok and Douyin. Once the grid started printing views, he funneled traffic to Fanvue. It took him 29 days to set it all up. One girl paid back the whole tool stack. The other eight were pure upside. AI is a useful tool, but first and foremost, you need a niche men will actually pay forshow more

If he stood up and ran that quickly after... the shot and jumped off the roof, where was the gun once he was on the ground? He definitely didn't have time to take it apart and shove it down his pants or put it in his backpack. Did nobody in that parking lot see a guy running with a whole ass rifle? Nobody noticed while he was crossing that street? No one?show more

Anthropic didn't build his memory system. He built it... himself, and what you're looking at is the proof. Same source, no gatekeeping. The Obsidian CEO published it, anyone can install it. That's not a screensaver on his second monitor. It's his vault. Every point of light is a note. Every cluster is a project his AI already understands without being told again. He doesn't even touch the keyboard to move through it. One hand up, and the whole cluster tilts and spins, like he's turning a globe that happens to be his own head. A year ago he opened a new AI tab every morning and explained himself from scratch. Who he is, what he's building, what he wants. 200+ hours a year, just re-introducing himself to a machine. Then he stopped writing prompts and started writing one file instead. It loaded before every session. His goals, his projects, his blind spots. Claude read it first, every time, without asking. Now the cluster on that screen keeps growing on its own. New notes link themselves. Nothing gets explained twice. He's not showing off code. He's showing off the machine that finally stopped forgetting him.show more

The vet had been honest with the Hollands. Baxter... didn't have much time left, and the kindest thing they could do now was make whatever he had left count. So on a warm Saturday in June , instead of a normal quiet day at home, they loaded the old Bernese into the back of the van and drove him two hours to the coast. Baxter had never seen the ocean. He was 13, and his whole life had been the backyard and the same worn spot on the living room rug. The kids wanted him to see something big before he went. He moved slow getting out of the van. His back legs weren't what they used to be, and the boys had to help him down onto the sand. For a second he just stood there at the top of the beach, nose up, taking in all that salt air and open water like he couldn't quite believe it. Then something in him shifted. He started down toward the surf on his own, stiff and determined, the way he used to trot to the door when the kids came home from school. When the first cold wave washed over his paws, his whole face lit up. He didn't run, he couldn't, but he waded in up to his chest and stood in the shallow water with the sun going down behind him, and the whole family just watched. Nobody said much. They didn't need to. They stayed until the light was almost gone, taking pictures, letting Baxter rest against their legs, giving him one perfect afternoon to hold onto. The vet was right about the time. Baxter left them a few weeks later, at home, surrounded by the people who loved him. But he saw the ocean first. And every one of them is glad they gave him that.show more

🙌🏼He came to the forest for silence. For peace.... For a quiet sunrise with nothing but birds and fresh air. So he sat down on that chair, closed his eyes for 5 minutes… and forgot one thing: This isn’t your backyard. When he opened his eyes, the forest wasn’t quiet anymore. A bear was standing right there, closer than his coffee mug would’ve been. One second he was asleep. The next second, every survival instinct he had kicked in and he was on his feet before he even knew why. This is what happens when you fall asleep in the wild. Nature doesn’t knock before it checks on you.show more

🇨🇳🇮🇶 This is Ahmed Mohammed Jaber Alkalthoom, a 30-year-old... from Iraq. The US invasion of Iraq in 2003 turned this child from a wealthy family into a displaced refugee. He left his homeland and went to Syria. He was only 9 years old that year. During the war, one of Alkalthoom’s eardrums was ruptured, leaving him with hearing in just one ear. Nine years later, conflict erupted in Syria as well. In the midst of the Syrian war, Alkalthoom not only endured emotional trauma but also suffered physical injuries. While out buying food one day, he was caught in crossfire and was shot. Afterward, Alkalthoom moved between Lebanon and Egypt before finally arriving in Ningxia, China. There, he began learning Chinese and adopted the name “Wang Lixuan.” The people of China were very kind to him, and he became one of the most popular food bloggers on Chinese social media, affectionately nicknamed “Iraqi Lao Wang.” Lao Wang said that when he first arrived in China, he would get startled whenever someone honked their car horn. On his first day, he fell into deep despair because he thought he heard “gunfire” and saw “troops gathering.” However, he quickly realized he had misunderstood. People around him explained that it wasn’t a military operation but students participating in military training exercises. During the 2024 Spring Festival, while recording food videos in Henan, he was eating at a barbecue stall when the sudden sound of firecrackers frightened him. For a few seconds, his eyes were filled with fear. “I thought it was the sound of a bomb exploding.” Once he realized he was safe, he let out a bitter smile, shook his head, and continued eating. Lao Wang says that so far, he has learned to write three Chinese characters: “爱” (love) and “和平” (peace).show more
