Anthropic engineer:

"You're not supposed to prompt Claude. You're supposed to build a system that prompts itself."

this is one of the best workflows I've seen in a long time

in this video he breaks down exactly how most people are using Claude:

- the 14% you lose to CLAUDE.md before typing a word
- the plugins that 95% of users have never installed
- the caching setup that keeps it at 95% hit rate and almost free
- why starting every chat from zero is the slowest way to use Claude

if you've been using Claude for more than a month and never left the chat window, you've been using one project when you could be running a team of them

instead of another show tonight, watch this

With great power comes great responsibility

[Lex Fridman @lexfridman]

The power of AI agents comes from:
1. intelligence of the underlying model
2. how much access you give it to all your data
3. how much freedom & power you give it to act on your behalf

I think for 2 & 3, security is the biggest problem. And very soon, if not already, security will become THE bottleneck for effectiveness and usefulness of AI agents as a whole (1-3), since intelligence is still rapidly scaling and is no-longer an obvious bottleneck for many use-cases.

The more data & control you give to the AI agent: (A) the more it can help you AND (B) the more it can hurt you.

A lot of tech-savvy folks are in yolo mode right now and optimizing for the former (A - usefulness) over the the latter (B - pain of cyber attacks, leaked data, etc).

I think solving the AI agent security problem is the big blocker for broad adoption. And of course, this is a specific near-term instance of the broader AI safety problem.

All that said, this is a super exciting time to be alive for developers. I constantly have agent loops running on programming & non-programming tasks. I'm actively using Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and very carefully experimenting with OpenClaw. The only down-side is lack of sleep, and an anxious feeling that everyone feels of always being behind of latest state-of-the-art. But other than that, I'm walking around with a big smile on my face, loving life 🔥❤️

PS: By the way, if your intuition about any of the above is different, please lay out your thoughts on it. And if there are cool projects/approaches I should check out, let me know. I'm in full explore/experiment mode.

@Princey21M @ProofOfMoney Thank you, Daniel - I really appreciate it!

That’s exactly what I hoped for: that the book would be something clear, grounded, and useful for people who are curious but not convinced yet.

Thank you again for the support, and for helping get it in front of more readers. 🙏🙏🙏
