Where's the AI agent I can use which will:
1. Find me every orchestra in Europe
2. Determine if they're doing a Star Trek tribute night
3. Purchase tickets for that immediately.
Sure, Will Smith eating noodles is cool, I guess? But where's the shit that will enrich my soul for $20 per month?

Yeah, the M-Series CPUs on modern Macs are impressive. But have you ever run something directly on the Neural Cores?
Holy F**k!!

What if you could escape the Doom Cycle?
Well, that's what I've been thinking about recently, and so I've built and RSS Reader which uses a built-in transformer-based sentiment analysis AI to filter out news and articles that don't have the good vibes ✨

Switzerland just released Apertus, a completely open AI model. Not just "open weights" but everything—training data, process, code. While other nations race to build AI, the Swiss are redefining what "national AI" means... 🧵

What if you could vibe code your infrastructure the same way you do your code? 🤔
Well, that's what I've built for hstacks.dev - IaC over MCP - coming soon to an AI Agent near you 😎
