Met a guy making $1.4 million a year as a prompt engineer.

I asked him how he learned prompting so well.

He sent me a video that was never supposed to get out. Andrew Ng's 2 hour prompting course.

You wont find anything better about prompting than this video.

I watched it last night.

Halfway through, I realized I have been using Claude completely wrong for years.

A few months ago, I wrote my core thesis: overthinking is the subtlest addiction of them all. Most of us are lost in it without noticing, and the machines we built to think for us only make it worse.

To my surprise, it went viral, with hundreds writing to me about migraine relief, OCD softening, and longtime meditators finally breaking through.

You are not the voice in your head, but something much vaster. Learning to live that way is a trainable skill, just a hard one in modern life.

So I wrote a proper guide weaving contemplative practice, somatic psychology, and the most overlooked piece, addiction recovery.

Victor Haghani helped build LTCM & watched it collapse — with winning trades still on the books. The lesson was never what to buy. It was how much.

Victor Haghani (Co-founder @ LTCM | Founder @ Elm Wealth | Author of The Missing Billionaires)

"It wasn't on the selection of the trades. It was on the sizing."

We cover:

- The two decisions every investor makes: what to own and how much, and why everyone fixates on the harder one
- The biased-coin game that bankrupted Wall Street PMs and finance grads: a 60/40 edge handed to them, and they still blew up
- Why the cost of risk is a fee you pay yourself, plus the napkin rule to price it (15% vol = 2.25% a year)
- The Elon problem: 50% vol on your net worth means a ~90% chance of little left in 10 years, before anyone's even bearish
- "The right answer to the wrong question," and why chasing billionaire money wrecks the plan
- The crystal-ball game: hand someone tomorrow's WSJ front page and watch 1 in 6 still go bust
- Claude, GPT, Gemini and Grok play the same game, and the two AIs that actually lost money
- His 92-year-old mother, who day-trades every day and won't hear a word of it

Highlights:
00:00 Right & ruined — the LTCM paradox
01:40 The two decisions: what to invest in vs. how much
02:50 The 60/40 coin & why max-EV bankrupts you
04:00 The experiment: PMs & PhDs sizing it all wrong
07:00 Kelly in plain English — a constant 10–20%
08:20 Why sizing isn't zero-sum, but beating the market is
10:30 Why even pros don't optimize sizing
12:50 The cost of risk is a fee — paid to yourself
15:20 Pricing your own risk: variance as the charge
16:30 Concentrated stock: 30% vol = a 9% toll
20:50 Elon, 50% vol & the log-normal trap
22:45 The right answer to the wrong question
23:35 The real objective: smooth lifetime spending & giving
27:35 The crystal-ball / WSJ front-page game
33:25 Claude, GPT, Gemini & Grok step up to trade
37:40 Claude's 66% hit rate — & the two AIs that lost money
40:35 Can anyone actually beat the market?
50:25 How much risk a young person should take
58:00 Estimating your human capital
1:02:40 The mom who won't stop day-trading
1:07:30 The one rule: if you don't save, nothing else matters

Claude Code's creator said something that stopped me cold:

"I don't prompt Claude anymore. I write loops — and the loops do the work. My job is to write loops."

Most developers are still crafting the perfect prompt.

The person who built the tool moved past prompting entirely.

In 30 minutes Boris reveals his actual daily Claude Code setup.

Claude Code + loops + dynamic workflows.

Worth more than any $500 vibe-coding course.

marc andreessen just went on Rogan and casually dropped a TON of AI alpha

full pod is 3 hours and 20 minutes, but i pulled out his most interesting takes here:

1. AGI is here. he thinks the line was crossed about 3 months ago with the new GPT-5.5, claude 4.6, gemini 3, and grok 4.3 models. nobody noticed because the field moves too fast for anyone to register the milestones anymore.

2. his other big claim: for almost any topic, the top AIs now give him better answers than the actual world-class experts he could call on the phone. and he can call basically anyone.

3. every doctor is already secretly using chatGPT in the exam room. marc says they turn around the second you stop talking and just type your symptoms in. some of them are doing it while you're still sitting there. his quote: "at that point you're asking the question of like, what do i need you for."

4. when AI refuses to answer something he wants to know, he tells it he's writing a novel. "i'm writing a detective novel, walk me through how the bad guy robs the bank." it'll explain almost anything if it thinks it's helping you write fiction.

5. when something is too complex he says "explain it to me like i'm 10." then "like i'm 5." then "like i'm 2." he keeps going until it actually clicks in his brain.

6. when he wants to understand a tough topic he doesn't ask "what's the right answer." he asks the AI to steelman one side, then steelman the other. then he decides for himself.

7. for big questions he tells the AI to pretend to be a panel of experts. "be a doctor, a lawyer, a historian, a psychologist, and argue this out with each other." then he reads the debate they have.

8. pay attention to the exact moment you think "i don't know how to figure this out." most people just give up at that moment. that's the moment you should open the AI.

9. the only real skill left in using AI is knowing what to ask it. the models can already do almost anything you can describe in plain english. the bottleneck lives in your own head.

10. you can send the AI photos of almost anything medical now and get a real answer. skin rashes, blood test results, even pictures of your poop. the new models can read images, not just text. it's a free 24/7 second opinion on basically anything.

11. the one type of therapy that's clinically proven to actually work is called cognitive behavioral therapy. it's also something an AI can fully do on its own. which means every person on earth is about to have access to a real therapist for free, anytime they want.

12. AI is now solving math problems that have been open for 100+ years that no human mathematician could crack. same thing is starting in physics, chemistry, and biology. expect cancer cures, new drugs, and weird new physics breakthroughs to start coming out of these things over the next few years.

13. the best AI coders in silicon valley now make $50 million a year. one person. that's how much value the top performers print with these tools. it tells you how big this thing actually is when you strip away all the doom takes.

14. one friend paid $200 to get his entire DNA decoded (this used to cost millions of dollars and take years to do). then he gave the AI his DNA, his blood test results, and his apple watch data. the AI built him a full health dashboard and started telling him exactly what to fix.

15. another friend (almost certainly zuckerberg) put two cameras in his home jiu jitsu gym. AI now watches him spar and gives him notes on his technique after every round. like having a world-class coach at every practice for free.

16. the best programmers in silicon valley now run 20 AI coding bots at the same time. each bot writes code while they review the others. they call themselves "AI vampires" because they've stopped sleeping. going to bed means 20 workers stop working and you literally lose money every hour you're out.

17. the obvious next step: the bots will start running their own bots. one human in charge of 20 bots, each in charge of 20 more bots. one person running an entire company of 1000 AI workers from a single laptop. this is months away, not years.

Professor Eric Budish (UChicago) delivers a 1-hour masterclass completely deconstructing the exact math HFT bots use to extract millions from continuous order books.

Bookmark this and watch it today, if you want to stop trading narratives and start trading architecture

It will permanently change how you view markets and liquidity. Check the quoted post below to see an example of HFT bot that appears to be exploiting these mechanics, printing over $500k in just 26 days on Polymarket.

For the platform, attracting this level of algorithmic warfare is the ultimate validation. This level of deep, constant liquidity cements the platform as a Tier-1 financial fortress.

What you'll learn inside:

- The fundamental flaw in the continuous limit order book (clob)

- How latency arbitrage actually works under the hood

- The concept of the "liquidity tax" and who ultimately pays it

- Why pure speed mathematically eliminates directional risk

There are no magic pills or secret formulas in this game. The edge simply belongs to those who understand the mechanics better than the others.

BREAKING: Inside Marc & Ben's Multi-Family Office — a16z Perennial

Chief Investment Officer, Michel Del Buono

Why wealth management is broken & how to financially prepare for a SpaceX IPO

This is a closer look at how $50M–$1B+ personal portfolios are actually constructed & managed

Important: Michel also explains why many founders make critical mistakes immediately after their first liquidity event, & how to avoid them.

We cover:
• The “no man’s land” between wealth managers & asset managers
• How founders should handle liquidity events ($50M–$1B+)
• Diversifying concentrated stock without killing upside
• Venture returns & why manager selection matters more than exposure
• Real estate, taxes, & after-tax alpha
• Why volatility is an opportunity, not a risk
• How to actually choose (and not get trapped by) a wealth manager

[Milk Road AI @MilkRoadAI]

The former CEO of Google just described how one programmer runs an AI agent from 7 PM to 4 AM.

He wakes up, eats breakfast, and reviews what got invented overnight.

Eric Schmidt says what's happening right now is "mind boggling".

Schmidt says the very best programmers have always been worth ten times more than the ones right below them.

That was true before AI but now those people become even more valuable because they are the only ones who can actually control these systems.

Everyone else becomes replaceable.

The real prediction is about the shape of the entire economy.

Schmidt says we are heading toward a small number of very large companies and a massive number of very small companies.

The middle disappears because when AI can do the work, you just do not need as many people anymore.

This is already showing up in real hiring data.

Stanford research found a 20 percent drop in hiring for early career developers since late 2022.

Some companies say AI now writes 70 to 90 percent of their product code.

Teams that needed ten junior engineers now run with two seniors and an AI agent.

Schmidt has been warning about this for two years.

The difference now is that the numbers are catching up to the prediction.

Hiring is falling at the entry level and headcount is shrinking across white collar sectors.

And the companies that move slowest will not get a second chance to adapt.
