In this video I use Claude Code to set up Hermes Agent on a 16GB Mac Mini and plug it into a local Gemma 4 12B model, so the whole thing runs 24/7 with no API bills. I let Claude do everything from the terminal: changing the Mac's settings to stay always-on, installing and wiring up the agent, and connecting it to 3rd Party Tools so the agent actually does real work. I'm starting a blog to document all my AI adventures. I only make Youtube videos about 10% of the stuff that I do, learn, or expe…

Matt has no CS degree, doesn’t know how to code, and doesn’t even read the plans that AI writes. Despite this, he’s built an incredible open source track record with projects like last30days (#1 trending on GitHub with 40K+ stars) and Printing Press (a tool that lets agents use any website or app). Matt has been a huge inspiration for my AI builder journey, and I think you’ll feel the same after watching our conversation. Matt and I talked about: (00:00) "I don't read code and the plans are fo…

In this solo episode, I walk through the implications of the ban of Claude Fable 5 — the most powerful model on the planet and the one I planned to build with — after the US government sent Anthropic a letter. I make the case for local AI by walking through the benefits: intelligence that lives on your own hardware, stays private, runs free after the hardware cost, and keeps working through bans, outages, and price hikes. I lay out the exact order I'd learn it in — runtimes, model-to-hardware ma…

In this episode I sit down with George Lampropoulos, a 19-year-old founder who turns AI-built mobile apps into real revenue. George walks through his framework for reaching $10K a month—roughly $333 a day—starting with a simple, sellable idea you actually care about and ending with a distribution plan anyone can run. He shares the numbers behind WrestleAI (100K-plus downloads and close to $200K in revenue) and explains why a sharp "gotcha feature" and a clean Instagram funnel do most of the heav…

These systems are live, compounding, and already changing how my company operates. If you're a founder, leader, or operator, this will change h…

I gave ChatGPT one job: make Minecraft from scratch. The prompt was basically just “make Minecraft,” then I judged the result like an actual player. The game had to pass 7 tests: world generation, movement, breaking blocks, placing blocks, inventory, crafting, survival, and it had to do all of that in under one hour. What came out was a cursed browser-based Minecraft clone with biomes, mobs, crafting, tools, torches, doors, chests, a survival loop, and a lot of very broken AI-generated chaos. …
