- Greg Isenberg argues GPT-6 Astra makes two kinds of businesses far easier to start: turning outsourced work into software, and physical product businesses that previously required $2M upfront.
- Astra can traverse the messy middle: browser, codebase, docs, Blender, parts lists, suppliers, PRs.
- On the Startup Ideas Podcast, @rasmic demos taking an AI HomePod idea to a Raspberry Pi setup, Blender layout, shopping list, supplier path, and code changes in one session.
- He predicts an explosion of tiny hardware, niche ecommerce, custom gadgets, home lab projects, and creator merch with utility.
