no more clout chasing š
gm gm! Welcome back to another fine edition of the Leaderboard. In today's edition, a social media minus the clout chasing, Google's new video to code stuff, and Zapier's all access MCP tool.

The feed with no clout
ThotStream is an anonymous stream of thoughtsāno likes, no followers, no profiles. You post what's on your mind and it disappears into a river of everyone elseās. No timeline to chase. No dopamine drip. Just ambient presence, moderated by AI so it doesnāt get feral.
š„ Our take: Feels like Twitter if it got hit with a sensory deprivation tank. No pressure to perform, no one asking you to build a brand, just vibes. The weirdest part? Itās calming. Almost meditative.
It watched the tutorial so you donāt have to
Gemini 2.5 Pro now handles two million tokens and actually remembers what you gave it. You can drop in a YouTube video, a PDF, a set of mocks, whatever. It builds inside a live coding canvas and gives you something that runs. No setup. No context juggling. Just type and go.
š„ Our take: Every AI says it writes code. This one watches a tutorial and sends back a working app. Itās the first time it feels like the machine isnāt guessing. You still have to fix stuff, but you're not starting from zero and you're not stuck spoon feeding it every five seconds.
Your agents stopped answering and started doing
Your agents call tools, write to databases and move money, so a wrong answer is now a wrong action, which is a considerably worse meeting. Arcjet runs policy before every LLM call, tool call, query and API request: prompt injection, sensitive data, bots, rate limits, spend quotas, and your own rules in Rego on top. It reads the OpenTelemetry you already emit, so switching it on is one environment variable, no code changes and nothing to deploy. Each check also reads the earlier steps in the same workflow, so an agent's tenth action gets judged against the first nine and not on its own. JavaScript, Python and Go SDKs all at 1.0, agent framework guards included, free tier to start on.
The bot can touch things now
Zapier MCP 2.0 gives AI agents real access to 8,000+ apps through OAuth. No scraping, no hacks, just straight-up permissions to click buttons and move data. It works with Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and whatever else youāre letting run loose in your stack.
š„ Our take: This isnāt āyour AI can send an email now.ā This is your AI doing whatever it wants inside your real workflows, with no human in the loop. Itās cool until the agent you barely tested updates 300 rows in Airtable because it misunderstood a prompt.
Tweet for your life
RodrigoāÆSoviero tossed a classic founder worry into the forum: āAs a founder, how do I get started on X?ā
Replies split into three camps.
-
Just post: lurk a bit, then hit send. Your first tweets disappear into the void anyway.
-
Show the build: followers care about the messy middleāshipping notes, tiny wins, and faceāplantsāmore than polished releases.
-
Pick a lane: stick to one themeāproduct lessons, indie revenue, spicy market takesāso strangers know why theyāre following.
X veterans also begged new founders to skip growthāhack tricks and reply to people like humans. The consensus: consistency beats clever hacks, and screenshots of real numbers still crush AIāgenerated quotes.
