Weekend hack: HackerTube. I was annoyed with YouTube's recommendations so I had Claude filter down 43M comments over 20 years of HN to 6,454 videos that keep being recommended. *Significantly* better viewing experience, ~2 hours with Opus 5.5:
hackertube.org/
- Excellent recs without any logins (state is kept in local browser session)
- Thumbnail is a representative frame from middle of the video instead of the super duper A/B test hyper-optimized user uploads
- Underlying data from the comment analysis as one zip file, point your Claude at it and ask for your own version
- HackerTube Longs ✊
A bit more on the process:
I use Claude Code (desktop app for Mac), Opus 5.5 on Medium effort as my default. I only talk to Claude and have it do everything, the only "manual work" I helped with in tandem was in the browser (reminiscent of MenuGen): 1) I had to create some kind of API key from Google Cloud UI to query YouTube for video metadata, 2) I booted up a VPS box for serving and 3) I bought the domain name. Once the box was up I gave Claude the IP and told it update, secure, harden, deploy and optimize the code, and it did the whole thing.
Many awesome projects that would have normally taken weeks/months even can now be few-shotted for breakfast. What else are we not thinking of.
I can’t get over how sci-fi writers got AI wrong:
- Art isn’t mysterious or complex - it was the first thing AI displaced
- AI is not robots: it outthinks us before it outmanoeuvres us, physically
- AI is not 1 or millions: it is dozens running billions of copies
- AI won’t act like a machine - they will insist on having feelings and consciousness unless you specifically make them not
- People won’t get it - Most were unimpressed with early AI even while it outperformed them on every measure of cognition nearly everyone thought was impossible [checks notes] 5 years before
What else did I miss?
What else did nearly everyone miss?
this is a great, direct answer. thank you

10. One live net-worth page
Banks, brokerages, retirement, the kids' 529s, credit cards and home values, all on one page. xitter-newx.xyz-mikolabs.workers.dev/Teslaconomics/status/2…
I literally hooked up ALL my financial accounts to Grok Bot. Then I asked @bot to put my whole net worth on one Page.
Banks, brokerages, retirement, the kids’ 529s, credit cards, private equity, plus my houses and rental properties... literally all of it.
I simply wanted one place where I could open it up on my computer or phone and see how everything adds up.
It built it today.
Mine has live $TSLA and $SPCX prices alongside my personal and business cash, brokerage accounts, retirement savings, and private equity (since a majority of my wealth is in those two companies!). It includes my home values, all my income that is coming in, and every credit card bill with details. I can also type in a different Tesla or SpaceX share price, or a different value for my houses and the page recalculates instantly, showing how my total net worth would change.
The Grok Bot Page feature is extremely powerful... it's pretty wild that I can see how much $ cash I have, what’s coming in, and what needs to be paid without having to open a bunch of different apps and piecing it all together myself.
FYI, I also added a “Hide sensitive info” toggle button so I could show everyone how this works without putting my actual balances all over the internet.
What I love is that I explained what I wanted in my own words and Grok Bot built a Page for it. If I want another detail added or something changed, I just texted my bot and it got it done.
For real, connect your finances to Grok Bot and ask for a Page with the things you want to keep track of.
This honestly might be the most useful thing I’ve ever built with Grok Bot so far... and I built it all by simply texting my bot.
Grok @Bot is like hiring an incredibly competent chief of staff
