Here's the truth he left me with, after four full years of hearing the exact same confusion on repeat:

"People renew Prime every single year thinking of it purely as a shipping subscription, nothing more. It's actually a full bundle of streaming, gaming, grocery delivery, cloud storage, and reading, most of which goes completely unused for the entire length of someone's membership. The $139 a year is often quietly paying for itself several times over, entirely in benefits nobody ever bothers to activate."

10 benefits. Already fully included in a membership you're already paying for right now. No upgrade required to check most of them, starting tonight.

Save this thread — open your Prime benefits page tonight and actually, genuinely look through it for the first time.

Stanford University charges $65,127 per year in tuition. A 4-year degree costs roughly $260,000 before room, board, and fees. The acceptance rate is 3.6%. For every 100 students who apply, 96 are told no.

Stanford has also published for free, online, accessible to anyone on Earth with an internet connection over 2,100 courses, the complete AI curriculum its graduate students use, hundreds of full lecture series on YouTube, one of the most comprehensive philosophy references ever written, a design thinking toolkit used by Google and Nike, medical school health courses, business strategy lectures from Stanford GSB, entrepreneurship resources from the university that produced Google, Netflix, Instagram, LinkedIn, and PayPal and research papers that have shaped entire industries.

A Stanford professor told a friend: "Most people think Stanford's knowledge is locked behind a $65,000/year gate. It's not. The gate is the degree the credential, the campus, the network, the diploma. The knowledge has been free for over a decade published on YouTube, Coursera, edX, and Stanford's own website. The same lectures I give to students who paid $65,000 are sitting on a YouTube channel with 4 million subscribers. Most people have never searched for them because they assumed a university this expensive would never give anything away."

She said: "Why would Stanford give it away?"

"Because the degree is the product not the knowledge. The knowledge is the marketing. A free Stanford course that changes your life is the best advertisement for a $260,000 degree. And the research the papers, the encyclopedias, the toolkits exists to advance human knowledge, not to generate tuition revenue. Stanford publishes freely because the mission has always been public. The price tag is for the credential. The education has been free since the moment they uploaded the first lecture."

He showed her 11 free Stanford resources most people don't know exist resources that replaced $3,000 in textbooks, $10,000 in professional workshops, and $100,000 in degree programs.

"Stanford's reputation is behind a gate. Stanford's knowledge is not."

Here are the 11 resources 🧵

This is not a movie. Security cameras at the Nepal-Tibet border just recorded a flash flood burying an entire border crossing in real time. Ground and aerial footage show the scale of what hit the region. Hundreds still missing.

In 1986 a guy got kicked out of every casino in Vegas for counting cards. So he flew to Hong Kong with $180,000 and started betting on horses instead. He walked away with almost $900 million.

It's Bill Benter. He figured horse racing was just another counting problem. Same math, more moving parts.

He and a partner showed up with $180k and a computer. Benter spent years teaching that computer to guess one thing, the real chance each horse had to win. If his number was better than the odds the bookies gave, he bet. If not, he skipped it.

That's the whole trick. Expected value.

EV = p · b − (1 − p)

Only bet when your win chance p, at odds b, is worth more than your chance of losing.

This recording was never meant to be some hidden gem. Nobody expected Professor Tsitsiklis to hand the whole foundation away in 45 minutes, but that's exactly what happens on the board. Students in that room pay over $80,000 a year to sit through it. It's free right here. It's free right here.

Every quant, every professional bettor, every hedge fund analyst started with this exact hour. Benter just watched it and actually did the homework.

Almost nobody knows this lecture even exists. Watch it before it gets taken down.

The answer is in this video.

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI:

“You no longer need to write prompts.”

In just 38 minutes, he explains how to use ChatGPT in a way most people never think about.

It’s a talk he gave to Stanford students.

A friend sent me the recording last night.

I watched it and realized I was only using about 15% of what ChatGPT can actually do.

That was a wake up call.

Most people are still focused on finding the perfect prompt.

But there’s a better way to work with AI.

Watch the full 38 minute talk.

Then read the guide below to learn how to build a system that prompts itself.

When Glen Campbell Sat Down and Silenced a Room Full of Legends

Glen Campbell sat with his acoustic guitar and began “Gentle on My Mind” with a quiet, unforced confidence. He simply sang and played, without any dramatic gestures. His voice was warm, the guitar clear and steady. In a room full of some of the finest musicians in the business, he stayed completely at ease in his own rhythm.

That calm came from a lifetime spent inside music. Long before he became a star, Glen had played on hundreds of records for other major artists. That deep experience showed in the way he sat on the Ryman Auditorium stage in 1999. He had nothing left to prove. He simply let the song move through his voice and his hands.

This particular song had changed his life in an unusual way. In 1967, while still working as a session musician in Los Angeles, Glen heard John Hartford’s original version on the radio and was immediately drawn to it. He gathered a few fellow players and went into the studio to cut a quick demo. Between lines he gave spoken directions to the musicians—telling them the feel he wanted. He assumed it was only a rough take that would later be refined.

The producer listened to the unfinished recording and loved it. He edited out Glen’s talking, left the vocal and guitar as they were, and released the demo as the single without telling him. Glen later admitted he hadn’t particularly liked his own singing on that version because it felt too casual, not polished enough. Yet that very casualness matched the spirit of the song—light, free, and unforced. The track became a major hit and opened an entirely new chapter in his career.

When the solo arrived on the Ryman stage, the guitar grew clearer and more expressive. There was no flash, no strain. The notes seemed to continue the story the lyrics had begun. Listeners could feel the gentle freedom the song describes—a love without chains, memories that remain soft and present. The solo never stepped outside the song. It simply carried the emotion forward.

The people sitting around him were not ordinary audience members. They were peers—Roy Clark, Willie Nelson, Chet Atkins, and other country greats. When Glen began the solo, their attention locked in. The quiet focus and the smiles of those who had reached the same heights became the clearest form of recognition. In music, the silent attention of equals often means more than any spoken praise.

Years later the moment still holds its power. There are no effects, no showmanship. Just a man with a guitar, singing a quiet song and allowing its feeling to come through completely. In a room filled with people who had stood at the top of the profession, he simply sat down and played—and that was enough to create something lasting.

When the final note faded, what remained was the image of a man with an acoustic guitar, delivering a gentle song that made the best in the business stop and listen. A recording that began almost by accident had become one of the deepest marks of his career—and it still reaches listeners today.

This is Soviet swimmer Shavarsh Karapetyan.

In 1976, he saw a trolleybus plunge into a reservoir and made 40 dives to rescue 20 people.

Injuries from glass shards hospitalized him for 45 days, where he developed pneumonia and sepsis, which ended his swimming career.

This didn't stop him from being a hero: In 1985, Karapetyan was near the Karen Demirchyan Complex when a fire broke out, trapping people inside. He came to the aid of firefighters and participated in the rescue of multiple people. Once again, he was badly hurt with severe burns and spent a long time in the hospital.

But he's still alive, and the main belt asteroid 3027 Shavarsh was named after him.
