It is becoming f*cking dangerous: I don't understand why everyone still isn't doing this, thanks to this I reached an income of $12,000 as early as 3 months ago
Andrej Karpathy, co-founder of OpenAI, shared a straightforward concept that blew up with over 23 million views: stop relying on AI strictly for coding and start using it to construct your own personal knowledge engine
Point Claude Code to a folder, toss in raw materials (whether it's an article, a video transcript, or a PDF) and Claude processes everything, links relevant topics together, and organizes it into a self-updating wiki of your personal knowledge. It acts like compound interest: the more information you add, the more capable it becomes
Here is the exact breakdown:
Set up Obsidian, create a fresh vault, and open it using Claude Code
Supply Karpathy's wiki layout prompt and instruct Claude to build the architecture
Claude automatically sets up three components: a raw directory for source files, a wiki directory for processed pages, and a CLAUDE.md control file to run the system
Dump any document into the raw folder and run "ingest this"
Query your entire knowledge repository at any time, indefinitely
It takes just five minutes to configure, eliminating the need to ever start a conversation with a completely blank context window again

They built an AI agent in 20 minutes and sold it to Anthropic for $100k - and at Stanford showed how to repeat it from scratch:
02:00 - how to build your first agent with Opus 5 in 20 minutes
22:34 - one agent replaces an Anthropic engineering team worth $200k a year
49:47 - how to make $1.2M a year selling agents to Anthropic and Google
after watching I spent 20 minutes in Claude Code - the agent replaced 10 Anthropic engineers and they paid $100k and asked for more.
save & watch - the article below shows how to build an agent in Claude Code in 20 minutes and reach $1.2M a year.
What a stunning launch by @sundayrobotics. The results are super impressive: long-horizon & whole-body control spanning multiple minutes, generalization to unseen environments, and impressive dexterity — all with ZERO robot data! 💯 So excited for this team's future.
We release Cosmos Policy 💫: a state-of-the-art robot policy built on a video diffusion model backbone.
- policy + world model + value function — in 1 model
- no architectural changes to the base video model
- SOTA in LIBERO (98.5%), RoboCasa (67.1%), & ALOHA tasks (93.6%)

Anthropic engineer: "at Anthropic, we don't write prompts anymore. we build loops"
in 42 minutes, she shows how the Claude team creates loops that prompt themselves
if this cost $400, people would call it the best agents course of the year
it's free
watch it,
One of my friends makes $1.2M a year as an Anthropic engineer.
I asked him how he became so good at prompting. He sent me a video that was never meant to be public: Anthropic’s core team prompting playbook.
You’ll struggle to find a better 30-minute guide to prompting than this.
I watched it last night. Halfway through, I realized I’d been using Claude completely wrong for the past two years.

– Version your prompts like code
– Write a README that explains the architecture in 5 minutes
– Record a 60-second demo of it working
– Share the code on GitHub and add it to your resume
You won't believe how many job offers you'll get.

I’m 31. I built @GojiberryAI to nearly $5M in ARR and got accepted into Y Combinator.
If I had to start from 0, here's exactly what I'd do:
1. Sell it before I build it.
No code. Just a simple slide deck (mine was 6 ugly slides) explaining the problem, the solution, the outcome, and the price. I made my first $10k that way, before writing a single line.
2. Pick a painfully specific customer.
Not "B2B SaaS." Something like "founders at 20-person SaaS companies about to hire their first SDR." So specific that the right person reads it and thinks "that's me."
3. Start outbound on day one, but only to people showing intent.
Not scraped lists. People engaging with competitors, changing roles, raising money, or publicly posting about the exact problem I solve. That's the gap between a 1-2% reply rate and 25-40%.
4. Lead with value, never a calendar link.
Send a blueprint, not "got 15 minutes?" Let the resource do the selling, and the trial becomes the obvious next step instead of a pitch.
5. Pick ONE channel and go deep.
For us it was outbound first, then Reddit (10M+ organic views), then LinkedIn lead magnets. I wouldn't touch a second channel until the first one was clearly working.
6. Talk to customers every single day.
The product doesn't matter until you understand the problem better than they do. Spend 90% of every early call listening, not demoing.
7. Only build once people are actually paying.
Then keep it dead simple and price it to sell itself. We landed on $99/mo with a free trial, so the funnel runs without me dragging anyone onto a call.
8. Do this relentlessly for about 14 months.
That’s roughly how long $0 to $5M took us.
Bootstrapped.
No outside funding.
Most founders don’t lose because they can’t build.
They lose because they build too early, sell too late, and quit the channel before it compounds.

Anthropic senior engineer just shared a 1-hour course on building a team of agents with loops & graphs:
00:27 - claude-md & Plan mode
11:24 - building skills and hooks
37:02 - agents and subagents with Claude
52:47 - self-improving loops and graphs
taught by someone who runs this every day inside Anthropic
Prompts → Agents → Loops → Graphs
a loop closes one job without you
a graph decides which jobs exist and carries every accepted one into the next run

This guy coaches Sam Altman.
He also works with leaders at Anthropic, Google, Apple, and SpaceX.
I sat down with him to learn how he coaches billion dollar businesses.
Here are Joe Hudson’s 7 operating rules:
1. Kill your 1:1s
These meetings lead individuals to solve problems instead of the team. Much better to bring problems to the whole team so everyone feels responsible for solving them. I agree, haven’t done them for years...
2. Rotate who runs recurring meetings
When the same person always leads, people focus on pleasing or rebelling against them. Spreading the authority makes everyone accountable to the team instead.
3. Give anyone the power to change a bad meeting
Everyone already knows when a meeting isn’t working (and usually why). Giving people permission to say it makes meetings more effective.
4. Make every employee run at least 5 experiments a quarter on their own job
It makes the team more productive, keeps people interested, and helps retain smart employees who would otherwise get bored.
5. Ask your team to push back on your ideas
If you try to sell them on the idea, they may nod in the room and do nothing afterward. Asking for objections tests the idea + gets everyone aligned before you commit to it.
6. Start by building the part you understand the least
If you leave the confusing part until the end you might find out it doesn’t fit and have to rebuild everything around it.
7. End every email with an action needed
Name the person responsible, the action they need to take, and the deadline. Joe says this rule increased productivity in his business by 35 to 40%.

THIS IS F**KING INSANE
THIS 23 YEAR OLD USED CLAUDE TO REVERSE ENGINEER A KIDS CHANNEL WITH 28.5M SUBSCRIBERS.
then reportedly made $10K from YouTube Shorts.
he didn’t copy individual videos.
he studied the formula behind them:
→ recurring characters
→ simple stories
→ bright visuals
→ fast pacing
→ formats already proven to generate massive views
then he built an AI production engine around those patterns.
Claude analyzes the channel, identifies repeatable ideas and writes original scripts.
connected AI tools handle the rest:
→ characters
→ voices
→ music
→ animation
→ final assembly
his involvement?
almost nothing.
he chooses the direction, approves the strongest concepts, and lets the system handle the repetitive production.
one prompt → one finished Short.
and because the workflow is reusable, he can keep producing without rebuilding everything from scratch.
the original channel reached 28.5M subscribers across 798 uploads.
he didn’t copy one cartoon.
he reverse engineered the machine that could produce an entire channel.
that’s the real AI advantage.
Anthropic just launched a free 4-hour course.
It teaches you to use Claude with the same workflows their own engineers use internally.
00:15 → How to structure prompts for Claude the right way
11:41 → The "output contract" that fixes inconsistent responses
30:04 → The loop that makes Claude's agents more reliable
33:21 → Why Claude struggles with certain coding tasks
1:33:39 → The workflow Anthropic engineers use every day
2:50:56 → The simple tweak that makes Claude noticeably smarter
No Anthropic account, no API key, no subscription needed. Just an email on Skilljar.
When you finish, you get a certificate signed by Anthropic. There are already several free courses total, and most "AI experts" on LinkedIn never took any of them.
