Anthropic just accidentally made every AI course on the internet worthless.

A free 24-minute video. No signup. No paywall.

Taught by the people who literally wrote the code Claude runs on.

I watched it twice.

The part at 8:12 alone is worth more than any $300 course I've bought.

Most people will scroll past this. The ones who don't will have an unfair advantage for the next 2 years.

This guy literally broke down how to use AI and NOT produce slop:

0:00 AI is a test

5:10 Never click "enhance"
6:19 Inventory before prompting
7:27 Dumping transcripts in
12:14 Matrix multiplication trick
13:50 Slides first, script second
15:08 Claude, the eager junior
17:04 "Stop suggesting next steps"
17:36 200 iterations beat one
17:53 Slop = micro hallucinations
18:44 Don't microwave output
19:02 The biology metaphor
20:20 Hide your real goal
22:05 When AI asks back
23:21 The game night rule
24:41 Layer complexity slowly
26:08 Reveal purpose last
27:29 Stress test the model
31:57 The unicorn name mistake
33:35 Claude confesses its weakness
38:48 Executives smell slop
40:56 The full weekly stack

Your doctor says your bloodwork is "normal" but that word has probably cost more years of healthy life than any disease.

Normal doesn't mean optimal.

Andrej Karpathy spent 2h showing how he actually uses AI day to day

he's a co-founder of OpenAI and led AI at Tesla, so when he shows how he works, it’s worth watching

and the whole session is just him telling the machine what he wants in simple terms, like he's briefing a coworker

watch what's actually happening the entire time:

> he describes the task in normal words
> it goes off and does the work
> he glances at the result and nudges it with one more sentence

that's the whole skill, and you've had it since you learned to talk

the only gap between that and a worker that runs on its own is handing that sentence a schedule and the tools to act

check his work, then build the version that keeps working when you stop

Waste Tokens, Save Time.

Don’t look at tokens either as inputs or outputs. Just look at your time, and look at the final output. — @naval

The human is still completing the model. At what point is it the other way around? — @rauchg

No matter how expensive these models might seem, they’re still way cheaper than a human. — @naval

It used to be you could spend an indefinite period of time debugging some narrow thing. Now, with agents, you just don’t get stuck anymore. — @maxhodak_

The way I’m judging you as an engineer is, are you producing the factory that will produce multiplicative outputs. — @rauchg

You don’t want to churn through a trillion tokens to reproduce what’s already existing. Anything that’s already been created that the models can reuse is like a token cache. — @rauchg

Claude or ChatGPT is basically as good as you are in a domain. If you’re a really capable developer, these things are really powerful. If you’re a junior developer, you’ll find it to be more of a junior developer. — @maxhodak_

I loved this conversation @davidsenra

@RickRubin’s relentless pursuit of reduction and simplification feels increasingly important in a world designed to overwhelm us.

The ability to simplify is its own form of wisdom. Clarity is often found through reduction, not addition.

[Divya Mittal @divyamittal_IAS]

IIT Delhi to IIM Bangalore to IAS. I got the best education my country had to offer. It taught me how to crack tough exams and manage big responsibilities. But it never taught me how to quiet my own mind or handle loneliness. We spend many years learning how to achieve, but not a single day learning how to be happy.
My thoughts on what is missing in school education.

Emotional Regulation:
We memorized the periodic table, but no one explained the chemistry of a broken heart. School demanded we stay quiet, confusing silence with peace. Now, we don't know how to host our own storms without drowning in them. We feel lost because we were taught to suppress, not to process.

Deep Communication:
We were taught to write perfect essays, but not how to say "I’m hurting" or "No." While there is a strong emphasis on communication, we are not taught the vocabulary of the adult life. There is no course on how to stand our ground in face of bullying by a boss or how to protect our work boundaries by saying 'No'

Critical Thinking:
In school, the person with the most answers won. In life, the person with the most questions survives. This is the reason many adults can repeat opinions confidently without ever questioning where those opinions came from. We are told everything as the gospel truth. So we end up just following blindly

Financial Literacy:
We spent years learning maths and solving for x, but never learned how to keep ourselves from falling in a debt trap. Money isn't just about math; it’s about the dignity of choice. We do not learn how to use debt effectively without it controlling our freedom. How impulsive spending compounds over time, or how money affects stress, relationships, and mental peace. Financial literacy is missing because education often focuses on earning money someday, not managing it wisely once it arrives.

Self-Discipline
School is a world of bells and schedules. Someone else always tells you what to do and when. But adulthood is a world of total silence. We feel stuck because we were never taught how to push ourselves without a teacher watching. Discipline is simply the habit of keeping promises to yourself. This is a habit many of us are lacking

Handling Loneliness
In school, you are always shrouded by people. You never realize how loud the silence of adulthood can be until you’re in it. We feel lonely because we weren't taught how to be our own best friends. Peace is learning that being alone doesn't mean being lonely. It is a sacred space, not a sign of being unwanted.

Reading People
School is a time of innocence where friendships are often given to you. But as we go along, not everyone retains that purity. We feel cheated because we weren't taught to see the hidden intentions or the masks people wear. Reading people is the quiet wisdom of seeing the truth behind the words.

Mental Health Maintenance
We have gym class for our bodies, but nothing for our souls. We are taught to push through exhaustion to finish a project, which is exactly how we end up in burnout. Honoring your nervous system is the only way to make sure the light inside you doesn't go out. We should know when we are dealing with a stressor and unable to handle it anymore. We should know when to reach out for help if we feel that we are drowning in that distress

Knowing Yourself
We spend years trying to be the "best" student, only to realize we don't know who we are without a gold medal. We are left inadequate because we studied every subject except our own souls. The ultimate education is discovering what truly matters to you before the world tells you what to want.

Executive Brief of our latest episode:

Sell the Truth

1.⁠ Credibility matters more than sales tactics. The people worth impressing can see through manipulation immediately, so persuasion starts with authenticity, competence, and honesty.

2.⁠ Saying “yes, and” works because most people have a reason for believing what they believe. Understand their position first before trying to move them anywhere else.

3.⁠ Objectivity is a form of honesty. The more ego you remove from your thinking, the more clearly you can see reality and make better decisions.

4.⁠ Charisma is confidence plus love: projecting strength and goodwill at the same time. Honesty without kindness turns people away; kindness without honesty becomes fake.

5.⁠ Leadership is not telling people what to do—it’s making them want to do it. The best leaders connect the mission to people’s own ambitions and motivations.

6.⁠ Humans are built to hunt together in small, high-trust groups. The most meaningful work happens when small teams of highly capable people pursue difficult missions together.

7.⁠ Sales works best when it doesn’t feel like sales. If you genuinely believe in what you’re offering, enthusiasm replaces technique.

8.⁠ Feed your good obsessions. Real work is driven more by obsession, curiosity, and intrinsic motivation than by frameworks, business books, or motivational podcasts.

9.⁠ Optionality matters. The wrong long-term deal can trap you for years, so it’s better to walk away than compromise into the wrong partnership.

10.⁠ We live in an age of nonlinear returns. One massive outcome outweighs dozens of smaller wins, so focus on asymmetric upside instead of fighting over small spoils.

11.⁠ The goal is not to maximize every dollar—it’s to build a life where you preserve your freedom, energy, curiosity, and peace of mind.
