I genuinely don't understand why everyone isn't using this yet
Andrej Karpathy, a co-founder of OpenAI, posted a simple idea that hit 16 million views: stop using AI to write code, use it to build a second brain.
You point Claude Code at a folder, drop in any source, an article, a transcript, a PDF, and Claude reads it, links it, and files it into a living wiki of everything you know. It compounds like interest, the more you feed it, the smarter it gets.
Here's the whole thing:
> Install Obsidian, create a vault, open it in Claude Code
> Paste Karpathy's wiki idea file and tell Claude to build it
> Claude makes three folders: raw for sources, wiki for its pages, a CLAUDE.md that runs it
> Drop any source into raw and say "ingest this"
> Ask questions across everything, forever
Five minutes to set up, and you never start from a blank chat again.

Built with @Lovable 🫶♥️ – the platform that helped me ship PromptFIT faster, without fighting my tools. Grateful for products that actually support neuro‑spicy creators.

Your brain moves faster than your tools. PromptFIT closes the gap.
If you’re living in notes, voice memos and half‑drafts, but freeze when you open an AI tool, this is for you.
New article on how we’re building a brain‑friendly prompt layer for neurodivergent founders and knowledge workers:

So I built PromptFIT.
It turns messy brain dumps into clean, structured prompts - across 29 AI tools. ⚡
You pour out what's in your head; PromptFIT structures it, fills the gaps & shapes it into something any AI can work with.

@ITV@emmerdale Hats off to how you are telling April's story. This is a serious issue happening in our communities right now. It is happening before our very eyes, yet we cant see it unless we look close enough, just as you are protraying it. Aprils jump to the future episode really did hit me in the feels. I can usually see it coming! Teaching via empathy in a TV Soap 🤌 Hats off to @markcharnock and Amelia Flanagan for bringing the story to life. Well done 👏
@simonsquibb do you have any dates for the The Dream Machine visiting Leeds? I think originally coming on the 25th September but this has changed now. #DoorbellofDreams
@sama I'm very annoyed! I learned I have only five agent tokens left until August 26, which is disappointing. Worse, the notification urged me to upgrade to a team plan in the same sentence as informing me about my low token count. I nearly did, but I've learned to check everything! It turns out upgrading to a team plan would cost £60 a month, despite being the only user, with no extra tokens, I'd still have only five.
@manusai Hi Manus, while resolving a subscription payment issue, I mistakenly thought I had duplicated my account, so I deleted the' duplicate. ' I used the Stripe Link, corrected the error, and the payment was successful- I received the receipt. However, I later realised I had actually deleted my main account and now can't access it. Also, a quick note: I was only given 13 days of subscription instead of a full month. I would greatly appreciate it if this could be fixed as soon as possible, as I had a major task ready before this issue occurred. Thank you!!
If we teach students about AI, we:
► Spark genuine curiosity
► Explore real tools in real contexts
► Learn through purposeful collaboration
► Reflect with depth and intent
► Make it meaningful, creative, and joyful
But for teachers?
❌ Vague outcomes that are not SMART
❌ Yes/no “reflection”
❌ No modelling of inspiring AI teaching
This isn’t just a missed opportunity.
It’s a failure to practise what we preach.
AI in education should be a journey. Bold. Hands-on. Professionally enriching. Shared.
Let’s stop talking about innovation and start living it through CPD that inspires, challenges, and equips educators to lead with confidence.

I just read this powerful Financial Times piece:
“How to put Britain back on the opportunity escalator.”
The goosebumps...
For a moment I was in June 2029 with Andy Haldane feeling proud of a national shift that values:
AI-powered tutoring
In-school clinicians
Technology access for all
Community-driven education
Guaranteed pathways into work and training
That’s the kind of thinking we need.
Being typically me, I may have jumped ahead to 2029, picturing that future with pride. But even with those brilliant reforms, if the curriculum itself doesn’t evolve, if it stays rooted in outdated content rather than human skills, we’ll still fall short.
“In a world of change, the learners will inherit the earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped for a world that no longer exists.” Eric Hoffer
My fear? That we’re still equipping both learners and the learned for a world that’s already gone.
Knowledge is more accessible than ever, but in too many schools, the curriculum still lacks the skills and behaviours young people need to use it with purpose and confidence.
They don’t just need to know more.
They need to be more: emotionally aware, adaptable, purposeful, solution-focussed and brave enough to shape the future, not just survive it.
Young people are being asked to thrive in a world none of us were trained for.
It’s time we gave them a curriculum that reflects today's society.

This was my response to Eddie Playfair’s recent article on the Curriculum and Assessment Review:
"Curriculum and Assessment Review: the case for a 16-18 Guarantee"
We can’t fix FE if the foundations beneath it are broken. Here's why.
---------------------
@eddieplayfair, thank you for sharing your perspective. I agree with much of what you’ve said and would like to take your viewpoint a step further.
We are missing a critical truth..
You cannot fix FE if the entire system beneath it is broken.
This review of 16–18 education overlooks the fact that by the time young people reach FE, many are already disillusioned with learning.
And we wonder why.
We prioritise memorising facts over using AI to think, solve problems or innovate.
We prioritise outdated structures but neglect entrepreneurial thinking, emotional intelligence and digital skills needed to succeed today.
We glorify grades yet ignore the very skills that build leaders.
And the school environment?
Too often it devalues young people from the moment they walk through the door.
In too many schools:
⦿ Corridors, silence, uniforms - schools echo prison design
⦿ Toilets are locked during lessons. Learners are denied basic dignity
⦿ Isolation booths, punitive discipline echoing solitary confinement.
⦿ Uniforms are checked each morning, but emotional needs often go unseen.
⦿ Learners who question rules are penalised for ‘disruption’
⦿ ADHD symptoms are treated as misbehaviour This is not education.
This is control.
We are preparing young people to obey a system, not lead or thrive in a changing world.
Contrast that with what is happening beyond the mainstream.
A growing movement of educators, entrepreneurs and reformers, including @simonsquibb, @JackDelosa, @ryanwilliams, Gemma Hallett 🌈, Melissa McBride 🚀 @SophiaSchool, Ajaz Ahmed, @TonyRobinsonOBE, @theaieducatorx , @BejayMulenga, @OnyinyeUdokporo, @DanSandhu , @HilaryCottam , Brett Wigdortz OBE, @nathanielpeat and @ICTEvangelist (and so many more) are all calling for the same shift:
A future-ready, human-centred system that helps learners lead purposeful lives, not just pass exams.
If this Curriculum Review is to matter, it must:
⦿ Introduce AI, entrepreneurship, emotional intelligence, oracy, critical thinking, financial literacy and real-world problem-solving early and embed them throughout.
⦿ Diversify assessment and move beyond high-stakes exams
⦿ Redesign subject structures, integrate knowledge through real-world, cross-disciplinary learning.
⦿ Stop replicating the past. Build a curriculum for the world our learners inhabit today.
We call this a once-in-a-generation opportunity.
So let’s ask: What generation are we building it for?
I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Summary of LLM development:
- DeepSeek is gaining around 5% overall usage, surprising to me for a non-Western model.
- Google is gaining ground, currently at around 8% usage, presumably due to its deep integration with all Google services.
- ChatGPT remains the undisputed number 1 – but has to accept that the competition is taking a share.
- Claude usage is barely measurable.
