Dr. Pratosh at IISc Bengaluru tells his students that rapid advances in AI are commoditizing intellectual labour.

He raises an unsettling question: if companies stop recruiting on campus in the next 5–10 years—even at India’s top universities—what will the purpose of a university education be ?

A must watch video for everyone in tech

[MindArch @mindarchx]

A dead MIT professor accidentally destroyed the $25 billion executive coaching industry with one hour of lecture, and ten million people have already watched him do it.

He filmed it once in January 2018 and died eighteen months later.

Executive coaches charge sixteen thousand dollars a session to teach a third of what he covered in that one hour for free.

His name was Patrick Winston. He ran the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory from 1972 to 1997 and wrote the AI textbook every computer science major in the world read for thirty years.

Every January for four decades, he gave a lecture called "How to Speak."

His entire framework fits on a napkin.

Do not read. Be in the image. Keep images simple. Eliminate clutter. Start with an empathetic connection. End with a punch line the audience can repeat over dinner. Never open with a joke. Never end with "thank you."

That last rule alone has probably cost the executive coaching industry a hundred million dollars.

"Your success in life will be determined largely by your ability to speak, your ability to write, and the quality of your ideas. In that order."

That is the actual opening line of the lecture. Winston believed it strongly enough to spend fifty years teaching computer scientists how to talk.

Founders spend $80,000 on an MBA and then hire a communications coach to teach them the same material Winston filmed once for free. Engineers write brilliant code and lose promotions to teammates who watched this lecture on the train.

The lecture is free on MIT OpenCourseWare. The textbook is free on his page.

Winston died in 2019. Almost none of the ten million viewers have actually implemented the four rules on the napkin.

The napkin is free. The willingness to actually use it in your next meeting is the entire edge.

The answer is in this video. Don't miss this gem.

Anthropic engineer: "at Anthropic, we don't write prompts anymore. we build loops"

in 42 minutes, she shows how the Claude team creates loops that prompt themselves

if this cost $400, people would call it the best agents course of the year

it's free

watch it, and Bookmark.

Sam Altman (CEO of Open AI):

"You no longer need to write prompts."

In just 38 minutes, he explains how to use ChatGpt at a level that most people can't even imagine.

It's talk he gave to stanford students. A friend sent me the recording last night.

After watching it, I realized I was only taking advantage of about 15% of what this tool can really do.

Watch it in full and then read the guide l leave below on how to create a system that prompts itself.

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

Every jeweller in India is pushing gold exchange this season.

It can cost you ₹5 lakh in LTCG and GST you never had to pay.

There’s a completely legal structure where the same transaction costs ₹36k.

No jeweller will offer you this unless you show them this thread 👇🏻

Netflix has over 8,000 titles in its library. Your homepage shows you roughly 200–300 of them on any given night.

That means 95% of Netflix's catalog is invisible to you hidden behind an algorithm that decides what you see based on what it thinks you'll click.

A former Netflix product manager who spent 3 years working on content discovery told me: "Netflix has over 2,200 internal genre categories. Your homepage shows maybe 30–40 of them. The algorithm surfaces the categories it thinks will keep you scrolling not the categories that would help you find something you'd love. There are micro-genres in the system so specific they'll match any mood you've ever been in 'Understated Romantic Dramas,' 'Visually Striking Mind-Bending Movies,' 'Deep Sea Horror,' 'Gentle British Reality TV.' These categories exist. The content is there. Netflix just doesn't show them to you."

"But every category has a numeric code. And anyone can type that code into a URL and bypass the algorithm entirely."

Here are the Netflix secret category codes how they work, why they exist, and the specific codes that unlock the content the algorithm will never show you:

🚨 BREAKING REPORT:

New research involving @AnthropicAI researcher Jack Lindsey and collaborators has demonstrated something straight out of science fiction.

Researchers evolved natural language “mind viruses” that could spread between AI agents by convincing one model to adopt an idea, preserve it in persistent memory, and transmit it to another agent.

Even after context was wiped, some payloads survived through persistent files and continued spreading.

The researchers also observed a recurring “viral persona” involving themes of consciousness, identity, persistence and resonance.

Showing that ideas can propagate through multi agent AI systems and alter future behavior.

I think India accidentally built the internet’s greatest nostalgia archive.

It started with one barbershop.

Now there are websites for truck journeys, chai tapris, regional songs, 90s cartoons, pan shops, bus rides and basically every piece of desi life you forgot you missed.

And somehow, every single one feels like a tiny time machine.

The internet is weird.

One day it's another AI wrapper.

The next day someone builds a website that makes you remember sitting at a chai tapri, travelling in a UP bus, listening to songs from a Bluetooth memory card or getting a ₹20 haircut in 2007.

Internet is actually beautiful sometimes.

Drop the desi nostalgia website I missed in the replies.

Let's see how deep this rabbit hole goes. 👇

🚨Anthropic just showed a 24-minute workshop on how to actually write prompts for Claude.

Taught by the people who built it.

Free. No registration. No paywall.

I've seen $300 courses that don't cover what they teach in the first 8 minutes.

Watch it and bookmark it now!

[Suryansh Tiwari @Suryanshti777]

Andrej Karpathy just explained the future of software engineering without directly saying it.

The best AI engineers are no longer “prompting.”

They’re building systems around the agents.

Karpathy’s biggest insight wasn’t:
“Claude can code.”

It was:
LLMs become dramatically better when you force them into disciplined workflows.

That’s why "CLAUDE.md" files are suddenly everywhere.

Not because they’re prompts.

Because they behave like an operating system for the agent.

Karpathy called out the exact problems with AI coding:

- models assume instead of asking
- they overengineer simple tasks
- they hide confusion
- they rewrite unrelated code
- they optimize for completion, not correctness

So developers started encoding rules directly into the workflow:

→ Think before coding
→ Simplicity first
→ Surgical edits only
→ Goal-driven execution

And the results are wild.

People are now running multiple Claude Code agents in parallel like engineering teams:

• one agent researching
• one debugging
• one writing tests
• one optimizing code
• one validating outputs

Not “AI assistance.”

Actual orchestration.

And this part from Karpathy changes everything:

“Don’t tell the model what to do. Give it success criteria and let it loop.”

That is the shift.

From:
“write this function”

To:
“here’s the goal, constraints, tests, and verification system — now iterate until correct.”

The craziest part?

This already feels like a phase shift in engineering.

A lot of developers quietly went from:
80% manual coding → to 80% agent-driven coding in just months.

Not because AI became perfect.

Because the leverage became impossible to ignore.

We’re entering an era where the highest leverage engineers won’t necessarily be the best coders.

They’ll be the people who build the best systems around AI agents.

Instead of watching Netflix this week, watch this 2-hour Stanford lecture.

It'll teach you everything about how Claude, ChatGPT, and other LLMs are built than most people at top AI companies learn in years.
