sam altman just dropped a blog post on why we're entering the era of the "idea guy" so, i wrote down 19 ways to come up with startup ideas in the AI age: 1. ask chatgpt: "give me 10 tedious workflows a [job title] does that ai could automate." rinse and niche down. 2. scroll your own chatgpt history. if you're repeating the same prompt weekly, that's a product hiding in plain sight. 3. search: site:reddit. com "is there a tool that" + your niche. you'll find users begging for tools that don't exist. 4. audit where you copy/paste between tools. that friction is a startup idea. 5. read ai tool youtube comments. people write what they wish the tool did, that's your roadmap. 6. join industry discords/slack groups. look for "does anyone have a tool for..." complaints. (can set up an automation for that on n8n) 7. use ideabrowser.com to find validated startup ideas from fb groups, subreddits, and google trends. use the ai agents to validate your own ideas (launch pricing rn @ideabrowser ) 8. study your calendar for recurring meetings with repetitive prep work. if you're copying templates each time, that's software. 9. browse fiverr for "i'll use chatgpt to..." services. those manual workflows are apps waiting to be built. 10. talk to local business owners about their daily excel updates. that's an ai agent waiting to be built. 11. browse g2 for top-rated legacy tools without ai. build the ai layer. 12. ask agency owners what clients beg for repeatedly. if it's annoying and repetitive, it's worth turning into software. 13. read comments on popular (70k+ views) youtube tutorial videos. look for friction points and niche applications for software ideas. 14. find multi-step tutorials using 8+ tools. build the one-click version. 15. scan linkedin job titles in growing industries. ask: "what would make this person 10x faster with ai?" 17. look for exploding job titles on linkedin. ask what workflows they're stuck doing manually. 17. find 2-star shopify/wordpress plugins with high usage. low stars + high usage = people care but experience sucks. or clone them with AI, focus on diff geographies and undercut on pricing. 18. join niche facebook groups and look for workflow hacking in comments. build the tool they're manually creating. 19. browse upwork for repeated ai + grunt work gigs. if multiple clients want it manual, it's ripe for productization. sam altman gets it. your biggest bottle neck is the right ideas (startup ideas/growth ideas). happy building. im rooting for you. we're all idea guys/gals now.

65 million French citizens. What happened to fraternity when a single night of left wing rioting can take away all the dignity of #France? Where is the civil courage every free country needs to survive? #Paris #Limoges #Marseilles bbc.com/news/articles/c574pd…

To every American, and to everyone watching France burn from abroad: Do not blame the French people for this. We never asked for it. We never voted for it. And the one time we were clearly asked, we said no. Here are the numbers your media won't show you. 70% of the French say there are too many immigrants in France today. 79% want a tougher immigration policy. 77% disapprove of the government's record on immigration. 83% want foreign criminals and long-term unemployed foreigners sent home. And no, it's not just the old. 69% of French 18 to 24 year olds support suspending legal immigration for three years. This is not a fringe. This is the French people. In 2005, we were asked if we wanted the European Constitution. 55% voted no. Three years later, our politicians passed the same text under another name, through parliament, without ever asking us again. That is modern France in one sentence. The people say no. The elites do it anyway. So who is responsible? The politicians who lied to us. A class of leaders formed in the same schools, the same forums, the same networks, loyal to each other before they are loyal to their nations. In 2017, at Harvard, Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, bragged about his Young Global Leaders program in four words: "We penetrate the cabinets." He added that it was true in France. Emmanuel Macron was one of his Young Global Leaders. It's the same project in Brussels with Ursula von der Leyen and in Paris with Macron. Borders treated as an obstacle. Nations treated as relics. The people treated as a problem to be managed. What you are watching in France is not the French people failing. It is the end of the globalist project, an abject, quasi-communist dream of a world run by unelected planners. It is collapsing everywhere in Europe at once, and the West has to cut this cancer out before it takes the rest of the body with it. The peoples of Europe don't want this. They never did. So when you see our town halls burning, don't say "the French chose this." The French never chose this. They were forced into it. If you're French and you agree, repost this so the world hears it from us. If you're American, look at us carefully. Then choose differently on November 3rd.

China’s humanoid robots are getting BIG. 🤖 A newly unveiled machine is reportedly 13 feet tall, weighs 2,400 pounds, and can lift over 1,100 pounds. That is a whole new scale for humanoid robotics. But would a robot this size be practical in the real world? 🏢 Company: Neodradynamics ⚠️ This content is shared for informational purposes only.
