3rd AI Hackathon is done. 16 teams. 120 people. 4 minutes per pitch at the end of the dayWinner: Last Bite. Surplus food from restaurants, bakeries, grocery stores, sold to customers at a fraction of the price. Food waste, solved by a marketplaceThe difference from previous hackathons is prototype quality. Hello, vibecoding • Half the teams ran out of time on the pitch • A third couldn't say what they actually want from investors But that's nothing new :)Fantastic day in tech! Real networking, live education. Next stop: Limassol, in a couple of monthsI didn’t film yesterday. But you can watch my video from our previous hackathon in Warsaw 👈 It includes the lectures of Zubr Capital invest directors#AIHackathon #Vibecoding #VC #FoodWaste #Startup

In the 90s I borrowed money from criminals to pay salariesFinancial crisis. Revenue dropped by half. My first company, Red Graphic, ran out of cash. 30 people needed their salaries. Account empty. So I found lenders who don't ask for a biz-plan.

My Telegram channel feels dead some weeks. Few likes, no commentsBut look at the polls. Healthy 10% engagement, active audience💡English-speaking readers just don't hit the like button. Russian-speaking audience does it on autopilot. Same attention, different habitGood. But still, you could leave more likes on my posts ☺️👇#buildinpublic #creatoreconomy #contentcreation

Folks, I'm filming a podcast episode right on the stage. All 500 people in the room participate. Full audience format, first time trying this :)From Co-pilot to Co-founder. The 2026 Startup PlaybookWith two gurus: Yury Melnichek and Alexander ChekanAI is breaking the logic of company building, so [agenda]: • Do you still need a CTO on day one if AI writes the code? • Headcount vs agentcount • What's defensible when everyone has GPT-class models? • Seat-based SaaS is dying. What replaces the pricing model? • When a startup needs $50k instead of $500k — what happens to VC math?No consensus on any of it, right? That's the episode :)📍 Warsaw, September 25 🇺🇸 English-language event 🎟 https://luma.com/BelTechBelTech is the largest international conference for the Belarusian tech community. But you don't have to be Belarusian. Just curious about tech. Come be a guest! Literally

One of his clients bans all AI use in the contract. That same client invests in AI companies. Weird or ok?Jonathan Hill has run 1minus1 marketing agency for 22 years. His team built one of Riot Games' biggest tournament platforms in the world, plus work for Xbox and Tencent. So when he answers the ban-or-invest question, he's answering it with 20 people's salaries on the line, not from a keynote stageMeanwhile: 59% of the TikTok videos come from brand-new accounts. 97 out of 100 YouTube videos for kids is a strait AI slop. Nearly half of the music uploaded to streaming every day is fully machine-generated. >80% is AI-assisted• Why every gaming studio uses AI and pretends it doesn’t? • No jobs for juniors. No layoffs, no announcement. AI removed the need • Anyone can vibecode a platform, nobody can maintain • The games we'll love in 3 years that are 90% generated • Players hate AI.Naturally Artificial by Sergey Osipov

~1/3 of vibecoders get money from their experiments👆My own takeaway:AI taught everyone to build fast. On the individual level. Almost nobody started earning more on the corp level. Same revenue. Some with a bigger tokens billDistribution, trust, someone willing to pay… The hard stuff didn't really move[Related post: Vibecoding Day 1]#AI #vibecoding #AIROI #foundersNaturally Artificial by Sergey Osipov

🎬 THE GAME OUTSIDERS — a documentary in progressMass layoffs, cautious investors, players that hate AI. I'm not talking to the studios this time. I'm talking to the outsiders — marketing, creative, music, influencer agencies. The ones who carry a game to its audience. And the first ones cut when budgets tighten.

EU fined X €120M for not being transparent enough. Musk's answer: okey, you want transparency, take all of it!He put X's actual algorithm on GitHub. The real filtering code. Exactly where X limits accounts on government request. Brazil's first up. There's an election filter that pulls ~600 accounts out of For You feedGovernments used to fuck us quietly. Now we see who is a real motherfucker. Well played, Elon!#XAlgorithm #ElonMusk #XTransparency #SocialMediaAlgorithmNaturally Artificial by Sergey Osipov

This is an iconic photo. “The early days of Amazon”. Bezos sits at the desk made from a door. Startup life as it isBut what I just found. It’s 1999. Not the beginning (IPO was in 1997). Valuation ~$25bn. The man at the desk is worth at least $5bnAnd the office still looks like that!Most founders close a round and upgrade the furniture first#Startup #Founder #Amazon #Bezos #BuildInPublic

AI is an excuse to fire people in gaming. Not about productivity. Studios over-hired during COVID. GameDev boomed. Boom ended. Investments stopped. Two years of painful realignment. Bloodbath. Companies now cite AI in 22% of all 2026 layoffs. In gaming it's the perfect cover storyAI gives worse assets. Can't improve the creative core. Players hate it! — Why is the quality so bad? — Because AI is making your logo nowMeet Matt Manarino. Ex Riot/Epic creative director, founder of Summoner. He goes further. People don't like AI because it removes the human from craft and creativity. It represents billions of stolen works without consent. Mass layoffsDon't wait until you're next. Launch your own agency! The competition from other fired pros is still thin. Creative. Marketing. Influencer. None of it requires investment. One client. That's it. You're in businessMatt is the Frank ZappaNaturally Artificial by Sergey Osipov

September 10–13, Limassol. R-Founders is running a four-day camp for founders and C-level people building for global markets. The business program sits inside a trip around the islandWhat's on: • Panel — where founders are putting money over the next 2–3 years. Open Q&A • Business cases from the inside. Real numbers, real decisions, the mistakes that never make it to a slide • Team Challenge. Teams take apart someone else's actual case and pitch a plan • Fuckup Nights on a wild beach. Lost companies, lost money, lost teamsBetween sessions: yacht races, an olive grove with oil tasting, a day at Vlassides Winery, a visit to a local company, ancient ruinsEvenings: dinners with Cypriot wine, the local business community, the R-Founders Party on the shore. It closes with a sauna and Sunday brunch4 days of work, a room full of founders who'll tell you what's wrong with your plan, and

Spent the week fighting Eleven Labs, Veed, and Descript, trying to dub my Naturally Artificial films. None of the platforms made me happyLooking for a freelancer who can do this for me on a regular basisThe ask: dubbing EN→RU and RU→EN for our episodes (example), delivered as separate audio tracks I can upload myself. YouTube's auto-dub is free but shitty. I want one clean voice per speaker, consistent across a full 30-60 minute two-person conversationIf you actually do this for a living, message me. Contact's in the profile. If you don't but know who does, forward them this post plz#AIDubbing #PodcastLocalization #VoiceCloning #AIvoice #Vacancy

Every Mediterranean company I've seen is adding AI. None are cutting headcount. None are fixing the logic, the org, the docs flows. Just more cost and IT complexity. But AI-for-the-sake-of-AI accelerates the damage!What changes it: a champion inside the company. Someone who rethinks the org from scratch. What AI can replace, what it can't, what should stop existing entirely etc. Takes it to the board. Sells it to the ownersResonates?
