I just added YEARS to my tired and old MacBook Pro (2012) it's a horse of a machine but...Apple doesn't support it anymore. I wasn't able to download the software I need to do my work. Even Google Drive was telling me that it was about to stop supporting it.Which meant this (yes heavy) but perfectly fine piece of metal was destined to the dump. And I can't have that. Geek that I am (and VERY conscious of the environmental/wallet impact this would have) I set out to figure out if I could do something to breath some life into.And I'm happy to report I found it. There's a way to 'jailbreak' essentially a roundabout way to upgrade it. And I'm now writing this on my brand 'new' Sonoma (soon to be upgraded to Sequoia) computer. Never underestimate the power of a geek.T his is for you if you have a Mac 2008+ watch this video, it's not difficult to do. And don't thank me, you can buy me a coffee with the $ I will save you having to buy a new computer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8djeFJ1czU&t=322s

I'm honestly so pumped that you're here, get ready to seriously level up! Say hi below 👇🏼 Tell us who you are, where you're beaming in from, what you do, and how you're either planning to or already using AI in your biz, your creative workflow or your life! Feel free to drop your social links too so people can easily connect with you! Share some work too!

I was playing with Claude to see if I could make a "choose your own adventure" game ala Oregon Trail with data from a client I do Shopify work for. I had initially given Claude instructions to act like a brand manager for the client. Fun back and forth, adding images and docs of copy from the website. Then I got bold and tried to make an artifact. I exported the product database from Shopify, cleaned it up, made it a .csv file, and loaded it into the thread. I messed with it a bit and finally got some results that I could save into a code editor, open in the browser, and "play" the game. I even got some images rendering, from the .csv file. But whenever I asked for changes it would not integrate them. When I finally got testy and demanded it integrate changes it DUMPED me, 🤣. And I hit the max length on the chat:( More deets - I am paying for Claude, using 3.5 Sonnet. I went to a full-stack coding boot camp in NYC in 2017. JS made me cry for the first time in a decade when I was first learning it. Since then I have avoided it 😬. One of my strengths is I am great at pseudo-coding--which is great for prompting, IMO. If you have made it this far.... ideas on what I did wrong? How/where can I put the mini app so others can see/play with it? Github? I am a total newbie with Claude-saw Lauren's presentation at the Brand Builders summit and just went for it! Here's my chat

Wanted to say hello to all of the new members that joined from the Brand Builder Summit! I'm so excited that you decided to check out the Launchpad. I'd love to hear what you do, how you're using AI already and what your biggest takeaway was from my Brand Building with Bots session was for you. PS the classroom is gonna be getting an upgrade with new content later next month, both paid and free stuff, so know that's coming! Also, share your favorite gif, becuase gifs are fun and so is this place! :)
