By far my biggest advice to anyone trying to adopt AI properly:

1. Pay a little bit of money to Anthropic
2. Download Claude Code
3. Open Claude Code
4. Press 'Shift-Tab' until it says 'plan mode on'
5. Open Voice Memo on your iPhone. Just talk about all the things you want to accomplish. When you think you are done, just keep talking. Make sure it is at least 10 minutes, hopefully longer
6. Send this Voice Memo to your computer
7. Download MacWhisper and use it to transcribe this voice memo. Trust me, you will want MacWhisper and will use it later a lot
8. Type into Claude Code: "I have never used you before but I talked about some things. I will paste those things in below. Please read the things and ask me any questions you need to in order to help me figure out how to use you to be awesome. Ask me lots of questions until I tell you I am done"
9. Then paste in the transcript
10. Then press enter

Then just let Claude take the wheel, and them please send me a DM if this works.

Also, if this just sounds crazy, just literally take this entire message and paste it into whatever AI you are using and say 'some weird person told me to paste this into you, I want to use it, but I don't know how. What should I do?'

I am just trying to help you get started. Curiosity and persistence are the most important things.

Even though I knew his death was coming, as he told us it would, I still can’t believe he has died.

Rest in peace, good and great man, rest in peace.

@mattswider Out of stock again for both. Could not add either to my cart despite trying a hundred times...still high demand. Hopefully they restock again?

Researchers placed 1,000 AI agents in a Minecraft server, and they developed their own civilization with government, culture, and economy.

Run by California-based startup Altera, the project had AI agents collaborating to create virtual societies.

Unpopular opinion: Heavy weights are easy.

It’s the light weights that are hard.

They say a strong body is a strong mind, this is true.

Because you craft your mind as you build your body.

And it is the endless reps, thousands per day, of the same boring activity which builds the mind.

Sprints are easy.

Marathons are hard.

Finding focus and chi to lift a heavy weight a few times is much easier than finding the focus and chi to thanklessly lift a tiny weight endless times.

As many as possible, training till failure, every 30 minutes, all day every single day. Racking up thousands.

You can’t brag about how heavy it was.

You can’t show off with it or impress anyone.

You can only focus and work - building strength of body and strength of CHARACTER.

Life is the same.

You don’t get to psyche yourself up for a few events, pull them off and be successful for eternity.

You have to do the endless small things, day after day, the thankless boring things nobody cares about.

Being able to do this when everyone else quits is how you forever win.

Life’s rarely a huge bench press.

Very often 300 reps with a 5LB weight.

Do you understand?

@MelonieMac Just reverse who’s on the left and right….

AWS is opening up its large scale simulation system Simspace Weaver to government clients to test for disaster and emergency scenario planning.

@DanielHowley got the details from AWS Worldwide Public Sector VP Max Peterson:

Worm charming, worm grunting, and worm fiddling are techniques used to lure earthworms out of the soil. These methods involve creating vibrations in the ground to stimulate the worms to emerge.
