🚨 McDonald's pays $2,000,000 to shoot one burger looking good on camera
a 19-year-old Chinese girl makes it on her phone and cleared $11,900 last month
the exploding-food format is a Chinese trend, already torching Douyin. she copied the shape and ran it west first.
> Research: sift 40 channels, tag the clip torching its own average: 1 day
> Claude: script the winning format into 30 shot lists: 20 min
> CapCut: layer the 9:16, blow the burger apart mid-air, AI voice, captions: 40 min
> Make: ship it to TikTok, Shorts, Reels, pull views back in 48h: auto
McDonald's books a studio, a stylist, and a high-speed rig for one shot. she books a $50 loop and a corner table.

A 24-year-old built an AI that grades office workers off one ceiling camera and sold it to 6 businesses for $11,000 a month
He built the whole thing in one weekend, spending $47 on tools
He mounted a spare camera over the floor, pointed it at the desks, and let the model watch the room
YOLO11 tags every employee in real time, logs active minutes against idle ones, and flags the ones who sit, Elena 10 cups, Anna 20, one desk idle for 1 hour 15
The moment a worker goes idle, the app clocks it, re-ranks the floor, and drops the report on the manager's screen on its own
A manager walks the floor and guesses who slacks. This logs every minute, so nothing gets disputed, and the scores go out with no supervisor
He walked into a cafe chain with a flash drive and asked for 10 minutes. He walked out with a contract, then 5 more signed
Every setting he used is in the article

> Roboflow labels each product
> YOLO11 recognizes it live
> a price table totals the cart
same basket. same total. 6 grocers paying him $11,000/month.
Amazon needed a billion and a research lab. he needed a weekend.

Fable 5 just dropped and someone already built a $10k-looking website with it. Here's the full workflow
The smooth scrolling, the animations, the transitions, all built with Fable 5. Here's how to get the same result instead of a generic template.
1. Steal a direction first. Go to Mobbin or Godly and find a site whose feel you love. Screenshot it. Fable copies a vibe far better than it invents one.
2. Grab real components. Pull animation-ready blocks from Aceternity UI or Magic UI. These are built for exactly this look (scroll reveals, parallax, gradients).
3. Prompt Fable with all of it. Switch to Fable 5 in Claude Code, drop in your screenshots and the component references, and describe the sections and scroll behavior you want. Let it plan before it builds.
4. Animate with the right tools. Tell it to use GSAP with ScrollTrigger for scroll effects, or Framer Motion for React. This is what separates "nice" from "$10k."
5. Iterate on feel, not code. Preview it, then give Fable specific notes ("slower fade, more spacing on mobile") until it lands.

THIS MAC FARM DROPS A $150 AI BILL TO $3
00:03 the camera pans a black rack stacked with dozens of Mac Studios and cooling fans, and here is the point: each one runs AI models locally, at zero cost per call
most developers send everything to Claude or GPT, even formatting and cron jobs. 70 to 80% of that never needed a frontier model
one Mac Mini M4 runs Qwen, Llama and Gemma locally through Ollama, and LiteLLM routes the routine work to it while the hard stuff still goes to Claude
$3 to $5 a month in electricity. an NVIDIA workstation doing the same job burns $30 to $80 in power alone
a heartbeat cron that costs $4 to $14 a month on the API drops to $0 on local
most people are still rationing tokens. this rack thinks for free

A 20-year-old student from China, Li Hao, built an AI speed radar with Claude alone and sold it to a city district for $317,000
He wrote the whole thing in 9 days, spending about $20 on Claude API calls
He set an old camera on his balcony, pointed it at the intersection below, and let Claude watch the road
Claude tags every car, motorbike and pedestrian in real time, 653 in five minutes, and flags anyone over the limit
The moment a car speeds, Claude clips the video, reads the license plate, matches the owner, and emails the fine on its own
A normal radar takes one photo and misses half the time. Claude records full video, so there is nothing to dispute, and the fines go out with no operator
He walked into the district office with a flash drive and asked for 10 minutes. he left with a contract
Every Claude config he used is in the article
