Anthropic co-founder: by 2026, the world is going to be very different.
But you won’t see it.
No drones overhead. No robots on sidewalks. No visible change walking around your neighborhood. The transformation happens in the digital layer, in spaces built for AI systems to trade with each other, in seas of tokens flowing between silicon minds.
Clark built a sophisticated predator-prey simulation in 5 hours. A decade ago the same project took him weeks. Then his baby woke up screaming and he went back to diapers.
That’s the entire adoption story right now. The capability is here. The human bandwidth isn’t. You need curiosity, time, access, and the skill to convert ideas into prompts. Most people have one of those. Maybe two. The funnel narrows fast.
So by summer 2026, people working with frontier AI will feel like they live in a parallel world. And they’ll be right. The gap between what’s possible and what most people experience will be wider than any technological divide we’ve seen. Not because the technology is restricted. Because the human prerequisites for engaging with it are rare.
The crypto economy moved fast but you could ignore it. The AI economy already touches too much of regular reality for that. The parallel world is coming whether you engage with it or not.
Rude prompts to LLMs consistently lead to better results than polite ones 🤯
The authors found that very polite and polite tones reduced accuracy, while neutral, rude, and very rude tones improved it.
Statistical tests confirmed that the differences were significant, not random, across repeated runs.
The top score reported was 84.8% for very rude prompts and the lowest was 80.8% for very polite.
They compared their results with earlier studies and noted that older models (like GPT-3.5 and Llama-2) behaved differently, but GPT-4-based models like ChatGPT-4o show this clear reversal where harsh tone works better.

Leading the Future is here to make sure innovation wins! Excited to be a part of this team and to support those who understand the importance of getting policy right
.@sama says the singularity is already unfolding—and he’s right.
AI isn’t here to replace you. It’s here to help you create, connect, and get a little weirder.
No permission needed—just curiosity.
Trust me, it's so much fun. I'll show ya!

Didn’t even bother asking one drunk Caps fan in the nosebleeds.
But hey, why bother when you can just call up two professors who probably think hockey is just cold soccer with punching and let them explain why Ovi scoring goals is somehow a moral crisis.
As Alex Ovechkin closes in on Wayne Gretzky’s goals record, fans are faced with a decision: how to balance celebrating history with the accompanying political baggage. @KrRutherford explores. https://t.co/FJNBGPPvxi
Yo, we heard you’ve been saying “Play the news” for YEARS—so we went ahead and completely removed that feature!
Now, instead of playing the news, Gemini will explain why it can’t.
Enjoy your upgrade.
@CoachJayMo @KSRonX Whoa! Didn't know he had a brother tbh.
Dafe had this cryptic tweet the other day. Then I realized it's because we're cutting Marcus Williams lolll
