Instead of watching an hour of Netflix, watch this 2 hour hour Stanford lecture will teach you more about how LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude are built than most people working at top AI companies learn in their entire careers.

Conor Neill on the 3 best ways to start a speech (most people get this wrong):

"I guarantee if you go to conferences, 19 out of 20 speakers will start in one of these ways: 'My name is Conor Neill. I'm from Tango, and this talk is about the latest trend in monitoring strategies.' But all of you are sitting with a piece of paper that already says who I am and what I'm going to talk about. By repeating what you already know, I'm giving a signal that it's time to get your BlackBerry out."

Conor explains the three best ways to start instead:

Third best: A question that matters to the audience.

"How do you phrase a problem that the audience faces in a question?"

Second best: A factoid that shocks.

"There are more people alive today than have ever died. Every two minutes, the energy reaching the earth from the sun is equivalent to the whole annual energy usage of humanity. Does that change how you think about energy?"

The best way: Start like you'd start a story to a child.

"How do we start a story to a child? 'Once upon a time.' And what happens when you say once upon a time? My daughter leans forward, gets ready to hear, engages. We were all trained as kids to know when a story's coming. We also know when a teacher is about to deliver a 40-minute boring lecture."

He explains the grown-up version:

"In business, you don't hear Jack Welch saying 'once upon a time.' Steve Jobs doesn't start his speeches with 'once upon a time.' So there's a grown-up way of saying it: 'In October, the last time I was in this room, there were 120 people here. I was having a conversation with one of the world's experts on public speaking and he said something to me that changed what I think about what's important in speaking.' Now I can pause for 30 seconds, and you want to know what he said."

Conor concludes:

"Stories are about people. They're not about objects. They're not about things. If you want to tell a good story about your company, don't talk about the software talk about the people who built the software. What they do. How they are. What's important to them. What they sacrifice."

Most people think AI is coming to replace them.

I used it to replace my 9-to-5 instead.

Built a $90k/month business running faceless Instagram pages while my old coworkers are still stuck in meetings.

Here's the exact playbook:

AI wrapped 2025:

– MCP became the USB port for AI
– vibe coding is now the default method to build software
– more agents: we started letting AI "work" for us
– AI learned how to "think" before it speaks
– programming changed forever
– OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google are in a race
– context windows got massive as now you can give an AI a 2,000-page book or a whole folder of videos
– we ran out of internet to train on
– we have enough chips, but we don't have enough electricity
– RLVR > RLHF
– we haven't achieved AGI yet

🚨BREAKING: The IRS clarified how a $10,000 car interest write off actually works.

If you have a car, you need to know this to lower your tax bill in 2025.

Here's how it works (and who actually qualifies):

If you want to be an AI Product Manager or build AI products, you need to master the fundamentals:

▪️𝗠𝗟 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝘀 Understand how models actually work — architectures, training, and trade-offs. You don’t need to build them, but you must know how they learn, fail, and scale.

▪️𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗔𝗜 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗟𝗠𝘀/𝗦𝗟𝗠𝘀 Learn the difference between 𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲 and 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 language models. 2025 is about using the 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵-𝘴𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘥 model for the job, not the biggest one you can find.

▪️𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗲-𝗧𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻-𝗧𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 Generic models are average. Fine-tuning makes them 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴, tailored to your product, your tone, and your data.

▪️𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 No model is better than its data. Cleaning, labelling, and curating datasets is 80% of the real AI work.

▪️𝗘𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗩𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 Embeddings turn words or ideas into numbers that computers can understand. This helps AI find related information, even when it’s not an exact match.

▪️𝗥𝗔𝗚 (𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗹-𝗔𝘂𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻) Combine LLMs with your private data for real-time, trustworthy answers. This is the foundation of most enterprise GenAI systems.

▪️𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 The secret to consistent results. It’s not just 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 you prompt, but 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘹𝘵 the model sees: memory, retrieval, and token design all matter.

▪️𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 Still the fastest way to improve output quality. Great prompts act like good UX. They guide the model toward clarity.

▪️𝗔𝗜 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗢𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Agents are like smart assistants that can plan, make decisions, and take 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. They use multiple tools to get things done.

▪️𝗔𝗜 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗟𝗼𝘄/𝗡𝗼-𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲) Speed beats perfection. Use tools like n8n, Make, and RelevanceAI to automate and ship ideas fast.

▪️𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 (𝗔𝗣𝗜𝘀 & 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀) Modern AI products are built by combining small tools, each of which do ONE thing well (like Lego blocks that fit together.)

▪️𝗟𝗟𝗠 𝗘𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 You can’t improve what you can’t measure. Evals are how you track accuracy, bias, and consistency at scale.

▪️𝗢𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗽𝘀 Keep an eye on how your AI behaves. Track errors, collect user feedback, and keep improving results over time.

▪️𝗔𝗜 𝗚𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 & 𝗘𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗰𝘀 As AI gets powerful, it also needs rules. Governance makes sure your system is safe, fair, and compliant.

▪️𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗹𝘀 (𝗠𝗖𝗣) MCP helps different AI agents talk to each other, sharing memory, context, and goals so they can work together smoothly.

It’s been a few weeks since we brought GPT-5 to Microsoft 365 Copilot, and it’s quickly become part of my everyday workflow, adding a new layer of intelligence spanning all my apps.

Here are 5 prompts that show what’s now possible:

@ranvijaylive It's unacceptable for individuals who bring shame to the country to be glorified. They should be held accountable for their criminal actions and treated as such.

The Indian government must ensure that such individuals never travel abroad by denying their passport for life.

[Ashish shukla @ashishuk38]

@TheEXECUTlONER_ There should be no doubt about this: the country that welcomed you with open arms deserves respect and love.

US and its people have always been welcoming to legal immigrants, and such protests are disgraceful, ungrateful and unacceptable!

[👉M-Û-R-Č-H👈 @TheEXECUTlONER_]

This Indian immigrant man tells it like it is, like it SHOULD be.

"So let me get this straight. USA lets you come in on a Visa,.. you eating in the USA, you making money in the USA, you having a house in the USA, car in USA, everything USA, but you fly the flag of the country which you do not like, & then you coming here & you say 'my flag, my flag, my flag?' You don't deserve it!”

“This country lets you in for your benefit & then you wanna' say
'protest, protest, protest?'
...if you all want to protest in the
USA, you all should protest FOR the USA!"

Amen brother👏
He points out the obvious so simply. The USA has given you an opportunity to reach your dreams.
Respect the USA!

I feel vindicated as the big ivory towers come crashing down every day. My exposé of the rot in Western mainstream media during the 2019 U.S. Congressional hearing was perhaps a turning point in the history of global media. I was the first and only journalist from India to expose, in the U.S. Congress, the role of Western media in creating conflicts, fueling them, and perpetuating them for the Military-Industrial Complex.

I was also one of the very few journalists who questioned Twitter under Vijaya Gadde and Parag Agrawal. My platform, along with @rohanduaT02’s, @TheNewIndian_in, is probably the first and only professional media platform in India to have challenged YouTube and Google in Indian courts.

What’s extraordinary is that after I won the battle against Aggarwal & Gadde’s Twitter, a much bigger storm hit them at home in the U.S.—@elonmusk launched his own war against the swamp in social media. He changed the American discourse by taking over Twitter and transforming it into @X. His success in the U.S. presidential elections has had a cascading effect on the entire world. The British have lost faith in their public broadcaster, @BBCWorld. This phenomenon is spreading rapidly, with ordinary citizens in country after country questioning the Western legacy media’s deceit, aimed at serving a neocon war machine that drains the soul and spirit from humanity, dehumanizes some societies, promotes victimhood in others, and peddles negativity day in and day out.

I may have lit just a spark, but it has now become a fire across the democratic world.
