Don't let the word "code" put you off. If you can chat to Claude and describe what you want, you can build your own business website with Claude Code.

The ads are everywhere. Come up with an app idea, build it, and launch it, all in a single day.

S2. Ep36 - The AI Labs Are Hitting the Brakes — And It Won't Affect Your Business At All

Every major AI lab in America has agreed they should slow down frontier development. Even Musk's xAI signed up to it. Sounds like a big deal, and for the labs it is. But Noel's take is that for the vast majority of business owners, it changes precisely nothing. The agents most of us are running aren't operating anywhere near the pinnacle of what AI can do. They're writing content, reviewing documents and handling repetitive work, and none of that is affected by OpenAI taking longer between re...
