The system map is now clear. 😈 Bad — The blind spot of the moment: too many teams calling themselves “AI-native” while humans still do the heavy lifting. 🤢 Ugly — My own tendency to over-engineer Arthur instead of pushing thinner, high-signal slices founders can actually use. 🧵 Plus in this week’s Everything42: • Arthur Build-In-Live #3 • Fusion42’s new SEO/GEO rollout • Early talks on a six-region global pitch league • Why AI unit economics are shifting under our feet 👉 Link in the comments For the ❤️ of Startups #Everything42 #Fusion42 #StartupResilience #GTMforStartups #AIforStartups #FundraisingFluency #PitchKungFu #Arthur

Everything42 — Life, the Universe, and Fusion42 #024 The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly 😇 Good Arthur is levelling up fast — memory, documents, access control, orchestration… the organisation behind the conversation is finally coming online. And the region is absolutely on fire: $3.6T poured into US AI from UAE, Qatar and Saudi, 2.5M Blackwells ordered, and a data-centre buildout that’s turning the Gulf into AI infrastructure HQ. 😈 Bad The Fusion42 Telegram has gone a bit quiet. We need a few new channel champs to step up and keep the founder-to-founder loop alive. DM me if you are interested. 🤢 Ugly First time in 10 years I’m holding zero Tesla stock… and still checking the price like I’ve got skin in the game. 🙃 🧵 Plus in this week’s Everything42: • Arthur Build-In-Live #2 • Fusion42’s new SEO/GEO site rollout • Early talks of a 6-region global pitch league • Why AI unit economics are shifting under our feet 👉 Link in the comments For the ❤️ of Startups #Everything42 #Fusion42 #StartupResilience #GTMforStartups #AIforStartups #FundraisingFluency #PitchKungFu #Arthur

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly — Fusion42 update 😇 Good We’ve kicked off Arthur – Build in Live. Arthur is a StartupOS — your mentor, co-founder and team in one conversation and Edition #1 is of Build in live is out: foundations and the 10-week roadmap to beta. We also shipped the new Fusion42 site, built to talk to humans and LLMs. 😈 Bad LinkedIn reach is… grim. I used to see ~20k views on a solid post. Now? A fraction of that. The pattern’s pretty clear: verified, paid, high-frequency and “happy to feed the AI” content gets the lift. The rest of us get the crumbs. Good reminder for founders: don’t build your distribution on rented land. 🤢 Ugly My wife’s travelling for work, so it’s just me and my son for two weeks. Great for bonding. Terrible for nutrition. Current stack: pizza, popcorn, movies, and building Arthur after bedtime. 🍕 Links in comments below 👇 For the ❤️ of Startups #StartupResilience #GTMforStartups #AIforStartups #FundraisingFluency #PitchKungFu
