Custom AI Agent Academy

Not Everything is an Agent They call it an "Agent"— dress it up, wrap it tight, but inside, just a script, marching left, marching right. A workflow obeys, a plan set in stone, while an agent must wander, must think on its own. You train a model— feed it too much, it drowns, too little, it stumbles, balance or bounds. A glass must hold space, for water, for air, too full, it spills over, too empty, just there. The trick isn’t coding, it isn’t just math, it’s knowing to step back, let it find its own path. So work on it, not in it, release, let it roam— automation’s a coffin, but agents must grow. And you— will you cling to the past, or move to the flow? 🧘♀️ Your Mindfulness Practice 🧘♂️ I'm curious about your mindfulness routines! What practices help you create that mental space to wander, reflect, and grow? Visualization Coach 👉 https://lnkd.in/ea9pNQEz

🚨 Hot Take: GPT-4.5 Is a Marketing Tactic, Not a Leap Forward 🚨 The AI arms race is hitting a wall. 🚧 🔹 OpenAI calls it GPT-4.5, but let’s be real—it’s their attempt at a GPT-5 run that underperformed. 🔹 We’ve reached the limit of "just add more compute & data"—the gains are **diminishing fast. 🔹 Benchmarks show GPT-4.5 isn't significantly better than GPT-4, and in some cases, worse than OpenAI’s own 3 & 1 series models. 📉 The signs are clear: ✅ More expensive, but not much smarter** – 15x pricier but underwhelming performance gains. ✅ Same old weaknesses– It still struggles with creative writing & reasoning**. ✅ People *prefer* GPT-4 – Polls from AI experts show many choose GPT-4’s responses over 4.5’s. 🤔 The AI Bottleneck: For years, we’ve relied on **scaling**—bigger models, more GPUs, more data. But what happens when we hit the ceiling? Right now, Big Tech is all using **the same training methods, same architectures, same datasets.** No real breakthroughs—just brute force scaling. But that’s not how we get to true intelligence. 💡 The Next AI Leap Requires a New Approach: 🚀 Teaching AI how to learn better—not just feeding it more data. 🚀 Rethinking architectures—models need **new reasoning strategies** beyond token-by-token guessing. 🚀 Moving past infinite compute—because we’ve hit **diminishing returns. The **next AI breakthrough** won’t come from stacking **more GPUs**—it will come from **a fundamental shift in AI design.** Will OpenAI, Google, or Anthropic lead it, or will a new player break the mold? What do you think? 🤖💭 📚 **Want to go beyond hype & build real AI agents?** ➡️ Free Resources: [https://lnkd.in/dXKZKXiD) ➡️ **Subscribe to AI Agent Insider:** [https://lnkd.in/d6b2GQtN) 🦾 Posted with my Social Media Copilot: 🔗 Try it for FREE → [https://lnkd.in/dnnGv24b) 🚀 The future isn’t in scaling—it’s in thinking differently.

🚀 You should stop using Zapier, Make or n8n! Generating a Python script and running it is much faster (and cheaper) using: ✅ o3-mini / Claude / Gemini to create the script ✅ Python Code Runner (free Chrome extension) to run it And it only takes a few minutes. 🔗 Link to the Python Code Runner extension: https://lnkd.in/e9T8WDzP 📚 Free Resources → https://lnkd.in/epfPYbMH 🤖 Posted with my Social Media Copilot:

⚡️ BREAKING: OpenAI Releases GPT-4.5 Key Highlights: ✅ Versatile AI: Excels in both creative and everyday tasks. ✅ Edgy Responses

🚨 The AI hype cycle is spinning out of control, and big tech leaders are switching teams faster than ever. Satya Nadella spent two years hyping AGI. Now he’s telling everyone to stop hyping AGI. What changed? Maybe the fact that customers are realizing Copilot isn’t the game-changer they were promised. Big tech is in a race—not to build the best AI, but to control the narrative. It’s a constant battle of who can shout the loudest, who can claim the biggest milestone, and who can shift direction when things start crumbling. Meanwhile, the real builders are out here actually shipping, learning, and iterating. The question is, should we wait for big tech to figure things out, or should we take what we’ve learned and start building better? The bigger they are, the harder they have to jump on bandwagons.

I did it! I launched a 100% AI-generated app to the Apple App Store. 💡 Introducing Surrender - NPC 💡 Surrender is a decision-making app for the indecisive—ask friends for advice or surrender to the dice 🎲. “You wrote this entire thing with AI?" ✅ Yes! 100% of the code was AI-generated using Cursor+Claude (built in React Native w/ Expo, transcription with OpenAI Whisper, poll suggestions using OpenAI GPT4o) ✅ The logo? Made with DALL·E.  ✅ The landing page? Built in Bolt.new (StackBlitz) and hosted on Fly.io ✅ Even the Privacy Policy was written by ChatGPT (please don’t call me on it haha). 💓 “Vibe Coding” in 2025 = strapping on a jetpack 🚀 but like … completely blindfolded 🙈! ⚡️ Way Faster— End-to-end took 60 hours from blank canvas to approved in the app store vs. 300 hours for each of my last two apps (~1/5 the time of raw-coding)  🧩 Higher-level thinking—less syntax, more higher-level thinking about features / flow 😵💫 SO Frustrating at times—debugging AI-generated code feels like being a brain-dead test monkey 🐒 (does it work now? does it work now?) 🐒 💡 Biggest takeaways: 🔹 Dev patience is waning—if a tool doesn’t work instantly, AI can just rewrite the project in another framework / using a different API 🔹 Cursor + Claude act as powerful routers - if you don't specify, they route you to a tool (based on...StackOverflow coverage or best documentation??) reinforcing power law distribution of current dev frameworks + freezing current stack in time 🔹 Up-to-date docs are king 👑—AI coding favors well-documented dev tools. Do packages eventually just ship with their own auto-installers / auto-upgrading agents that implement them in your code base? 🔹 Huge opportunity for "SEO" equivalent for devtools / frameworks. Does Google pay for Firebase to be default backend-as-a-service over Supabase in Bolt.new projects the way it pays to be the default search engine on iPhones? 🔹 The real bottlenecks aren’t coding—app builds, testing loops (Operator / Browser Use / MCP please save us!), and endless portal clicking now slow things down the most (please build programmable interfaces!) The future? Tiny teams building faster than ever ⏩ and feeling 💓 becoming as important as thinking 🧠. We’re on the cusp of something incredible, but vibe coding is not quite there from a developer experience standpoint. We desperately need better debugging, testing, and documentation tools to make this process more fun!  Excited to see where this goes! 👀 If you’re building in this space (or just want to vibe code with me in SF!), please reach out! App Store: https://lnkd.in/ec42ENz3   Landing Page: https://surrender.fly.dev/ Full Write-Up: https://lnkd.in/ebkbfg7i Thank you to all of my wonderful friends who have been so supportive + along for the ride beta-testing early versions of Surrender!
