After reading the email from IFTTT yesterday, I let my imagination run a bit and came up with the following…

My Wife asked why I was smiling at 4 AM. Showed her the terminal. "What are all those green numbers?" $1,129. Made while she slept. "Doing what?" Nothing. Claude scanned 14,000 wallets, found 47 that never lose, built a bot that copies them. She watched for 10 seconds: +$3.87 captured +$6.42 captured +$12.71 captured "It just keeps going?" Every few seconds. New line. New money. "How much did you start with?" $300. Now $1,429. Eleven hours. Asleep. "What does it do?" Buys at $0.48. Sells at $0.52. Pockets $0.04. Who wins doesn't matter. "That's legal?" Citadel does this on NYSE daily. 400 engineers. I have one screen. She looked at the P&L curve. Never dips. Just climbs. "Can you make me one?" Setting hers up now. She still doesn't get how it works. The bot doesn't care. You only need Claude + laptop + 1 hour/day. Giving This Free for 24 hours. To get it: 1. Comment the word 'Claude' 2. Like and Retweet this post 3. Follow me @marryevan999 (so i can DM you)

i use one tool that gets me 5x better results from veo 3.1 and hailuo 2.3... if you're not effectively prompting camera motion, you're using these models at 50% capacity casual direction like "zoom in" or "circle around" doesn't work, video models need actual cinematography language: - [truck left, pan right, tracking shot] - [push in, pedestal up] - [dolly back, tilt down] so i built a claude skill that translates for you you describe what you want -> it converts to proper film terminology -> AI executes it way better this was initially made for my team, but i'm sharing it with you guys... reply "angles" + RT and i'll send it over (must be following so i can dm)

Still pretty new to Substack. But I’ve been slowly piecing together what helps me actually use it — not overthink it. Those notes turned into a short guide I’m calling the Substack Mastery Starter Pack. 🧭

Miamisburg bans cannabis businesses before state law changes. Decades ago, the previous mayor banned open containers on city streets. Then DORA came along. / Hmmm, comparisons to be drawn here? 🤓 daytondailynews.com/local/mi…
