So, I’ve been heads-down building for weeks and I just pushed the early-access version of BannerKit AI. It’s a tool that takes a URL or a prompt and spits out animated, IAB-standard banners in about 30 seconds. I built this solo to stop the headache of manual resizing and design. It uses Gemini to scrape your site and Nano Banana Pro for the visuals, giving you both a static PNG and a hosted GIF ready for the wild. THE QUICK DEETS ✨ 9 IAB formats including leaderboards, skyscrapers, and squares. ✅ 10 animation presets like neon, glitch, and sparkle. 📌 Every banner gets a public URL you can drop right into emails or ads. 🤖 A built-in chatbot that actually knows how the tool works. Alright, just to be clear: I’m giving everyone 5 free credits this week to kick the tires. This bonus will likely shrink later, so grab them now. If you end up loving it, paid packs start at $15 for 100 banners, but I'm mostly looking for your honest thoughts right now. I NEED YOUR BRAINS Sign up at https://bannerkitai.com, run one banner, and drop a screenshot in the comments. Tell me what feels off—is the text fit wonky? Are the renders too slow? Also, there’s a referral program where you can snag up to 25 bonus credits if your friends sign up. Oh...The magic link email you will get is most likely in your SPAM folder until it gets a trust reputation built up. Please locate it and mark it not as spam. Thanks Let me know what you think or if you have any questions!

Let's all welcome @Grace Donnally to the Amplify AI Workshop community

I'd like to wish all the other dads out there a Happy Father's Day.

Hello yo all this community.

Alright, so Anthropic just dropped a casual 9,000-word essay titled "When AI Builds Itself" and it's... a lot. Basically, they're saying AI is starting to design its own successors and we might need to hit a global "brake pedal" before things get weird. Just to be clear, the timing here is a little bit spicy. They just filed for a $1 trillion IPO and "accidentally" dropped a major safety commitment right before telling us the world might end. HERE IS THE WILD PART So, human engineers aren't even doing the heavy lifting anymore. Here is what's happening over at Anthropic HQ right now: ✅ 80% of Anthropic's code is now being written by Claude. ✅ Engineers are shipping 8x more code than they were before 2025. ✅ They are officially warning about "recursive self-improvement" (AI building better AI). Okay, so we're either looking at a genuine SOS from the smartest people in the room, or this is the most expensive marketing hype-train in history to pump that IPO valuation. I broke down the whole "Brake Pedal" vs. "Trillion Dollar Hype" debate in our latest blog post. You should probably check it out before the robots take over the keyboard. 👉 Read the full breakdown at: https://amplifyaiworkshop.blog/anthropic-recursive-self-improvement/ What do you guys think? Is Jack Clark actually worried about the AI singularity, or is this just a really fancy way to justify a $1 trillion price tag? Let's talk about it in the comments.
