INSTEAD OF WATCHING AN HOUR OF NETFLIX TONIGHT.

This 60-minute Cambridge lecture by Demis Hassabis will teach you more about the future of AI than most people will learn in the next 5 years.

Boris Cherny, the creator of Claude Code at Anthropic, just explained how he runs thousands of agents from his phone while he sleeps

in this talk he breaks down exactly how he manages thousands of agents from his phone:

- the 14% you lose to CLAUDE.md before typing a word
- the architecture behind running a few thousand agents overnight
- why the system matters more than the tool
- the knowledge structure that makes everything findable, connected, and useful

if you've been using Claude for months and every conversation still starts from scratch with zero memory and zero context, you don't have a system. you have a chat history

instead of another show tonight, watch this

make sure to bookmark it before it gets lost in your feed

the guide is in the article below

George Lucas new museum cost $1.5B.

Chicago and SF both turned it down.

So, it’ll open at Exposition Park in LA in September 2026.

It is 300,000 square feet and has 11 galleries holding art (Norman Rockwell, Frida Kahlo), valuable comics (Marvel, DC, Peanuts), original film props (Star Wars) and his 17,000 pair collection of Air Monarchs (to be confirmed).

[Khairallah AL-Awady @eng_khairallah1]

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 she 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 workflows that run without you typing a single prompt
- why typing one prompt and closing the tab is leaving 90% on the table

if you've been using Claude for months and still start every session from scratch, you have at least 28 untouched features. probably 30

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei:

"The cheapest way to use Claude is also the smartest. Most devs do the exact opposite."

In 36 minutes, he breaks down the real economics behind every Claude model, and why running them all the same way is a mistake.

🚨 Anthropic just showed a 27-minute workshop on how to actually do 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.

The Republican Party quietly deleted their own ad attacking Ken Paxton's record on crime... because Paxton is now the Republican Party's nominee to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate.

Figured if the ad is important enough to delete, it's important enough to see...

Russia’s war against Ukraine has already shown the world a new type of warfare dominated by aerial drones. But on the ground, remotely controlled vehicles are the latest technological evolution.

- Bridget Brink
Former US Ambassador to Ukraine:

"I resigned as U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine when Trump kept siding with Putin over our democratic partner.
The policy since the beginning of the Trump administration has been to put pressure on the victim, Ukraine, rather than on the aggressor, Russia.
Peace at any price is not peace at all ��� it is appeasement.
We’re playing into Russia’s hands.

„I could no longer in good faith carry out the administration’s policy.“

Just, respect to this woman, wow😉🫡

PM Meloni to PM Tusk: Over past 4 years, Poland never wavered in its support and solidarity with Ukraine, it's lesson for everyone.

Italy will continue to do its part to achieve cessation of hostilities and to contribute to future reconstruction of Ukraine together with Poland.

Politico: Former Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), a liberal icon who was a key architect of the landmark Wall Street regulations Democrats enacted in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, has entered hospice care at his home in Maine.

And as one of his last acts, he is preparing to release a book repudiating his party’s left flank.

A champion of liberal causes during his 32 years representing Massachusetts in the House, Frank says progressive Democrats have “embraced an agenda that goes beyond what’s politically acceptable.”

Historian Niall Ferguson: Magyar’s victory over Orbán is good not because the left defeated the right.

What happened is that a non-corrupt populist who is not a lackey of Putin and Xi defeated one who became both corrupt and a lackey of our adversaries. 1/

[Illia Ponomarenko 🇺🇦 @IAPonomarenko]

You know, the conquest and enslavement of Ukraine -- with its natural and human resources, its geographic position in Europe, its brains, its access to the sea, and its extraordinarily rich breadbasket -- was in the 18th century one of the key factors that enabled tsarist Moscow to proclaim itself the Russian Empire.

Through control over Ukraine, it achieved unprecedented power and remained, in its various forms, a scourge of Europe right up to very 1991.

Today, looking at these photographs (and this is the Russian oil port of Tuapse burning again tonight) I find myself understanding clearly that the Russian Empire in many ways began with Ukraine, and it is Ukraine that will bury it.

And that will be the ultimate act of historical justice for all the centuries of enslavement, Holodomors, savage bloodshed, and isolation from the civilized world.
