Godfather of AI: "If you sleep well tonight, you may not have understood this lecture."
This 47-minute lecture is the best thing I saw about AI in the last few months.
It will definitely help you understand how it actually works and where it's going.
Geoffrey Hinton built the neural networks behind every AI alive, then quit Google to warn the world about it.
The part nobody wanted to hear:
> AI is already developing abilities its creators didn't intend
> in most cognitive tasks it's already ahead of us
> the question is no longer if it surpasses us but when
> the only decision left is which side of that line you're on
Right now the average person opens Claude, types something, gets an answer, closes the tab.
They think they're using AI. they're using maybe 10% of it.
I went through his entire lecture, built a practical system from what he was describing.
18 steps to actually use Claude the right way, with copy-paste prompts that work today.
Full guide in the post below.
Ben Polak’s (Yale Provost) most prominent “Game Theory” lecture 2013
Backward Induction: Polak argues that to solve a complex problem, you should start at the very end and work your way back to the present.
Jim Rohn on how to get whatever you want (in one word):
"How to get whatever you want. Here's what it says: Ask. That's it. End of notes."
Jim explains:
"If there's one art in life to learn extremely well, it's the art of asking. The formula is staggering; it says 'Ask and you shall receive.' You've got to be better than a good worker. You've got to be a good asker."
He shares three key points on asking:
1. Asking starts a unique process.
"It's mental and emotional. I don't even know how it works; all I know is it works. It's like pushing a button, and all this machinery starts working. Some people are always studying the roots. Others are picking the fruit. Depends on which end you want in on."
2. Receiving is automatic.
"If that's true, receiving is not the problem. What's the problem? Failure to ask. The guy says, 'Oh, now I see it. I got up last year and hit it every day, but there's not a scrap of paper with my goals on it.' Good worker, poor asker."
3. Success is not in short supply.
"It isn't rationed. It's like an ocean. So what's the problem? Some people go to the ocean with a teaspoon. What you want to do in view of the size of the ocean is trade your teaspoon for a bucket."
Jim shares the two ways to ask:
"Ask with intelligence. Be clear, be specific. How wide? How high? How soon? What size? What color? How much? Define what you want and describe what you want. Goals become like a magnet; they pull you in that direction. The better you describe them, the more they pull."
"Ask with faith. Believe you can get what you want like a child. Not an adult. Adults are too skeptical."
He concludes:
"The formula really reads: Make plans like an adult and believe in them like a child. And the most incredible things will happen. Just try it for 90 days. You can always go back to the old ways."
I’ve seen hundreds of professors explain game theory.
But this professor explains it so simply that even a 15-year-old can understand it.
Once you understand this, you start seeing hidden strategies everywhere - in markets, business, and life.

Game theory
Most people are playing the wrong game.
If you want to get rich, there are only 3 games that actually matter.
Everything else is a distraction
