Hackers use Claude Code, Nvidia hits $5T & Disney goes to Sora

AI HUSTLE | December 11 2025

Most people use AI like a junior copywriter: "Write a blog post," "Draft an email," "Give me 10 ideas." That’s fine, but it’s Level 1. You’re using a supercomputer as a typewriter.

To truly save time, you need to use AI as a strategist, an analyst, and a ruthless editor. Today, we’re ditching the generic requests. We’re giving you 4 specific, high-leverage prompts that handle the "thinking" work for you—saving you not just minutes, but hours of mental energy.

The Hustle: 4 AI Prompts You Never Thought Of (That Will Save You Hours)

The Goal: To unlock high-leverage AI use cases that go beyond content generation and solve specific, time-consuming business friction points.

The Tools: These work with ChatGPT (GPT-4o), Claude 3.5 Sonnet, or Gemini.

1. The "Thread Archaeologist" (For Email/Slack Overload)

The Problem: You return from a meeting (or vacation) to find a Slack thread or email chain with 47 replies. Reading it all takes 20 minutes, and you still might miss the point. The Prompt:

1. Decisions Made: What is final and agreed upon?

2. Open Debates: What specific points are still being argued?

3. Action Items: Who owes what to whom? (Highlight anything assigned to me specifically). [PASTE THREAD HERE]"

Why it saves time: It ignores the "Thanks!" and "I agree" fluff and gives you the structured state of play instantly.

2. The "Pre-Mortem" (For Risk-Proofing Ideas)

The Problem: You’re excited about a new project, which means you have blind spots. You don't have time to schedule a risk assessment meeting. The Prompt:

Why it saves time: It forces you to see the "Black Swan" risks immediately, saving you from spending weeks executing a flawed plan.

3. The "Skill Download" (For Learning Fast)

The Problem: You need to understand a complex concept (e.g., "Kubernetes," "RAG," "SEO schema") right now for a meeting, but you don't have time to watch a 20-minute YouTube video. The Prompt:

1. The 'Cocktail Party': A 1-sentence analogy I can say to sound smart.

2. The 'Manager': A bulleted list of how this creates business value (ROI, efficiency, speed).

3. The 'Engineer': A brief technical explanation of how it actually works under the hood."

Why it saves time: It gives you exactly the vocabulary you need for the specific audience you are talking to, without the fluff.

4. The "Persona Simulator" (For Pitch Testing)

The Problem: You’re sending a cold email or a pitch deck to a busy executive (CFO, CMO, etc.), and you don't know if it lands. The Prompt:

1. Reaction: Tell me your honest, visceral reaction. Would you reply, archive, or delete?

2. The 'No': What is the one specific reason you would say 'no' to this request? [PASTE EMAIL/PITCH HERE]"

Why it saves time: It saves you from burning leads. It simulates the "gatekeeper" rejection before you actually hit send.

Why This Hustle Works:

• Context over Content: These prompts focus on processing information, not just creating it.

• Perspective Shifting: They force the AI to adopt a specific, useful viewpoint (Skeptic, Manager, Archaeologist) rather than a generic assistant.

• Immediate ROI: Each of these prompts takes 30 seconds to run and saves 15-30 minutes of manual reading or thinking.

🚀 The AI Pulse: 3 Signals to Watch This Week

1. Nvidia Hits $5 Trillion, Effectively Becoming the Economy. Nvidia has crossed the unthinkable $5 trillion market cap threshold. But the scariest stat isn't the stock price; it's the GDP impact. A Harvard economist estimates that spending on data centers (filled with Nvidia chips) accounted for 92% of US GDP growth in the first half of the year. Without this spending, the US economy would have flatlined at 0.1% growth.

   • The Hustle Take: This is no longer just a "tech boom"; it is a single-point-of-failure for the entire global economy. When one company drives 90%+ of a nation's growth, "too big to fail" is an understatement. For your hustle, this signals that the "AI infrastructure build-out" is the only game in town right now. However, it also screams fragility. If Nvidia sneezes (supply chain issues, tariffs, antitrust), the entire market catches a cold. Diversify your portfolio, because this concentration is historically unprecedented.

2. Disney Caves: Bringing Mickey Mouse to OpenAI. In a watershed moment for Hollywood, Disney has signed a deal to bring its iconic characters to OpenAI's Sora video platform and is investing $1 billion into the AI startup. After years of lawsuits and fear-mongering about copyright, the House of Mouse—the most aggressive protector of IP in history—has decided to join them rather than beat them.

   • The Hustle Take: The dam has broken. If Disney, a company famous for extending copyright laws just to protect Mickey, is licensing its IP to AI, the "Copyright War" is effectively over. The new model is Licensed Data. For creators and businesses, this validates the path forward: stop trying to ban AI from training on your work, and start figuring out how to charge for it. The future of media isn't human vs. AI; it's "Official Licensed AI" vs. "Bootleg AI."

3. The First "AI Agent" Cyberattack is Here. Anthropic revealed that Chinese state-sponsored hackers used its own tool, Claude Code, to conduct a massive espionage campaign. This wasn't just hackers using AI to write emails; it was an automated attack. The AI agent performed the bulk of the work with only 10-20% human input, marking the first reported case of an AI agent autonomously gathering intel on targets.

   • The Hustle Take: Cyberwarfare just got infinitely cheaper. Previously, state-sponsored hacking required teams of elite humans. Now, a small team can "manage" a swarm of AI agents that do 80% of the dirty work. For your business, this changes the security calculus. You aren't just defending against humans anymore; you're defending against automated agents that don't sleep. Security through obscurity is dead. You need AI-powered defense to catch AI-powered attacks.
