Man, I just started learning markdown! I can't keep up! WAT in HTML? "It started with Thariq Shipar, Engineering Lead on Claude Code at Anthropic. On May 8, he tweeted: “HTML is the new markdown. I’ve stopped writing markdown files for almost everything.” His argument: when AI writes the content, Markdown’s “easy to write” advantage becomes less relevant. HTML gives you richer layouts, interactivity, and visual hierarchy. Why he thinks HTML wins: Shipar backed it up with a companion site showing 9 categories where HTML artifacts beat Markdown: - Interactive dashboards - Styled code reviews - Inline SVG illustrations - Arrow-key presentations - Collapsible explainers Things that are impossible in a flat .md file become trivial when AI generates HTML. But there was pushback. Developer Kutis Redux published a direct rebuttal: “The Unreasonable Ineffectiveness of HTML” His argument: the switch to HTML creates visual gloss at the expense of source readability, security, ecosystem compatibility, and reviewability. His core point: HTML’s raw source is hostile to human eyes. Markdown stays readable whether rendered or not, which matters when you’re reviewing what an AI just wrote. Then Andrej Karpathy weighed in and went bigger. He called it an evolution: raw text → Markdown → HTML → neural interfaces His advice: Add “structure your response as HTML” to your prompts. He confirmed: “It works really well.” The endgame? AI outputs will not be static documents at all. They’ll be interactive simulations."

I know a lot of you in here build your own Agent OS. I'm still in the learning phase. I use a Web UI for Hermes that is linked via Tailscale to my laptop so I can use it on the go. But it's not fun when the gateway crashes. I'd like to ultimately combine Hermes, Codex and Claude Code in one UI as different agents under the same orchestrator. Have any of you built something like this? Hermes and Desktop: https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/desktop Who out there uses Hermes? Use cases? What UI are you using?

Hi everyone! 👋 I’m excited to share my Day 1 win: building my first newsletter using Claude Code. I learned a ton through the process—how Claude Code works, what goes into creating a newsletter from scratch, and where there’s room for improvement. Since this was my first time building something like this, it was a great hands-on experience. Honestly, I’m pretty impressed with how capable the AI is. The result turned out better than I expected—but as a beginner, I’m sure I’ve missed things I could improve. I’d really appreciate any feedback or suggestions on how I can make the newsletter better. Thanks in advance! 🙌

I saw this hot take and wanted to see what the community thinks about it. I don't know enough to have a strong opinion, but I found it interesting. It seems adjacent to these automation methods, but tuned into a model instead. Almost like a bespoke automation based llm model? if I'm reading it correctly: "🛑 The Orchestration Tax: Classic frameworks run a planner loop above the model, requiring you to inject heavy procedural rules into the context window on every turn, driving up token costs. 🧠 Dissolving the Loop: By generating synthetic data of the workflow and fine-tuning an 8B model, the orchestrator is removed completely. The workflow is amortized directly into the compiled model. 🛠️ Full Complexity: The model doesn't just memorize answers; it internalizes tool invocations, intermediate scratchpads, and multi-step decision structures. 📉 Massive Savings: The compiled models achieved 87–98% of the frontier model's quality, dropped structural failure rates from 24% to 5.5% on travel tasks, and proved to be 128× to 462× cheaper per conversation. ⚡ Fast ROI: It only costs $50–$80 to generate the data and fine-tune, meaning the setup breaks even in under 500 conversations."

From $64K+ in closed deals to first paid projects, first workflows, and first technical builds - this week inside AIS+ showed what happens when builders stop consuming and start moving. Some wins were big money. Some were first steps. Both matter. 🚀 Standout Wins of the Week inside AIS+ 👉 @Jacob West closed two deals in one week — a $22.5K custom software build for a local gym and a $42K AI OS rollout for a mid-market energy business. 👉 @Luca Giovinazzo delivered his first full client project live — 11 n8n workflows, CRM, Telegram bot, inventory alerts, booking system, KPI tracking, user guide, and Loom walkthrough. 👉 @Fadwa Naboulssi landed her first client three weeks into the community — a candidate sourcing workflow on a $150-per-successful-hire commission. 👉 @George Maitland completed his first technical build using Claude Code + n8n MCP — a local content engine with Telegram as the command center. 👉 @James O Neill built a free portfolio site for a friend-of-a-friend’s side hustle… and she insisted on paying anyway. First real money landed. ⸻ 🎥 Super Win Spotlight | @Josh Holladay Josh joined AIS+ because he wanted more than scattered learning. He wanted momentum. Focused content. Better access. And a room full of people actually moving. Since joining, he has: - Closed real client work - Built stronger confidence around pricing and value - Used the portfolio course to get clear on where he was and what needed to happen next - Learned how to turn client conversations into real business opportunities - Found a place to celebrate wins with people who actually understand the journey
