If you go through even HALF of these…
You’ll be ahead of 95% of people using AI.
Most people won’t.
Because they’re still:
• Watching random YouTube videos
• Buying overpriced courses
• “Learning AI” without actually building
Don’t be that person.
Do this instead:
1. Save this post (you’ll come back to it)
2. Pick 1 course → start today
3. Share it with someone who needs this
Free. Practical. No excuses.
I’m excited to introduce Clark, the first AI Agent to build internal enterprise apps.
We’ve raised $60M, including a fresh $23M from @sparkcapital@kleinerperkins, @MeritechCapital and Greenoaks.
Unlike consumer vibe coding tools like Lovable, Replit and Bolt that only generate prototypes, Clark builds production-ready internal apps — enforcing your enterprise standards:
🧩 UIs generated using your design system
🔌 Integrations with private APIs, databases and SaaS apps
🔐 Permissions mapped to @okta & @azuread groups
🛡️ Security with audit logging, secrets management, and vulnerability scans
Clark is designed to operate exactly like a human internal tools team. It's built on a state-of-the-art multi-agent architecture, emulating your Designer, IT admin, Engineer, Security Operations, and QA employees.
When Clark generates an application, you can modify it in 3 ways:
1. Natural language - talk to Clark
2. Visual – Edit it like in Figma
3. Code – Use your IDE like Cursor or VSCode
Global enterprises in regulated industries like @Instacart (CART), @carrier (CARR), and @cvent (Blackstone) already run their mission-critical apps on our platform.
Our customers save $5m on average. Book a demo and we'll save you $5m too. And we're so confident that if we can't, we'll donate $5,000 to a charity of your choice:

As part of this launch, we’re giving away the system prompts of leading AI products like Cursor, Manus, and Codex.
These 6,000 line system prompts have enabled them to become billion-dollar companies on top of foundation models.
Retweet this post and comment ‘Superblocks’ below, and we'll send you the link so you can engineer world class prompts yourself.

We are living in a timeline where a non-US company is keeping the original mission of OpenAI alive - truly open, frontier research that empowers all. It makes no sense. The most entertaining outcome is the most likely.
DeepSeek-R1 not only open-sources a barrage of models but also spills all the training secrets. They are perhaps the first OSS project that shows major, sustained growth of an RL flywheel.
Impact can be done by "ASI achieved internally" or mythical names like "Project Strawberry".
Impact can also be done by simply dumping the raw algorithms and matplotlib learning curves.
I'm reading the paper:
> Purely driven by RL, no SFT at all ("cold start"). Reminiscent of AlphaZero - master Go, Shogi, and Chess from scratch, without imitating human grandmaster moves first. This is the most significant takeaway from the paper.
> Use groundtruth rewards computed by hardcoded rules. Avoid any learned reward models that RL can easily hack against.
> Thinking time of the model steadily increases as training proceeds - this is not pre-programmed, but an emergent property!
> Emergence of self-reflection and exploration behaviors.
> GRPO instead of PPO: it removes the critic net from PPO and uses the average reward of multiple samples instead. Simple method to reduce memory use. Note that GRPO was also invented by DeepSeek in Feb 2024 ... what a cracked team.

GREAT IMMIGRANTS * GREAT AMERICANS
"Every Fourth of July, Carnegie Corporation of New York celebrates remarkable Americans — all naturalized citizens — who have enriched and strengthened our democracy through their actions and contributions. The 2024 Class of Great Immigrants is comprised of citizens from 16 countries. "
I'm very honored to be among them this year, along with Jensen Huang, Esther Duflo, Tino Cuéllar, and others.
I am sad to see immigrants being vilified in the current election campaigns in my two home countries, France and the US.

To qualify as Science a piece of research must be correct and reproducible.
To be correct and reproducible, it must be described in sufficient details in a publication.
To be 'published' (to receive a seal of approval) the publication must be checked for correctness by reviewers.
To be reproduced, the publication must be widely available to the community and sufficiently interesting.
If you do research and don't publish, it's not Science.
Without peer review and reproducibility, chances are your methodology was flawed and you fooled yourself into thinking you did something great.
No one will ever hear about your work.
No one will pick it up and build on top of it.
No one will build new technology and products with it.
Your work will have been in vain.
You'll die bitter and forgotten.
If you never published your research but somehow developed it into a product, you might die rich.
But you'll still be a bit bitter and largely forgotten.

# On the "hallucination problem"
I always struggle a bit with I'm asked about the "hallucination problem" in LLMs. Because, in some sense, hallucination is all LLMs do. They are dream machines.
We direct their dreams with prompts. The prompts start the dream, and based on the LLM's hazy recollection of its training documents, most of the time the result goes someplace useful.
It's only when the dreams go into deemed factually incorrect territory that we label it a "hallucination". It looks like a bug, but it's just the LLM doing what it always does.
At the other end of the extreme consider a search engine. It takes the prompt and just returns one of the most similar "training documents" it has in its database, verbatim. You could say that this search engine has a "creativity problem" - it will never respond with something new. An LLM is 100% dreaming and has the hallucination problem. A search engine is 0% dreaming and has the creativity problem.
All that said, I realize that what people *actually* mean is they don't want an LLM Assistant (a product like ChatGPT etc.) to hallucinate. An LLM Assistant is a lot more complex system than just the LLM itself, even if one is at the heart of it. There are many ways to mitigate hallcuinations in these systems - using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to more strongly anchor the dreams in real data through in-context learning is maybe the most common one. Disagreements between multiple samples, reflection, verification chains. Decoding uncertainty from activations. Tool use. All an active and very interesting areas of research.
TLDR I know I'm being super pedantic but the LLM has no "hallucination problem". Hallucination is not a bug, it is LLM's greatest feature. The LLM Assistant has a hallucination problem, and we should fix it.
</rant> Okay I feel much better now :)
