It just keeps getting more and more interesting and fun.

Google Brain founder Andrew Ng:

"Prompting will be dead in 6 months"

"Loops and graphs are replacing it"

In just 2 hours, he shows how to build agents that work, learn, and improve on their own

LLMs → Agents → Loops → Graphs → Self-Improving Systems

The first 15 minutes alone are more valuable than most $500 AI courses

Most people are still learning prompts while AI engineering is already moving beyond them

Watch the lecture first

Then read the full guide to loops and graphs below ↓

The older I get, the more I realize the beauty in being a regular somewhere. Local coffee shop. Gym. Small restaurant. Whatever. There’s something special about the way these third spaces create a feeling of belonging. Real community. It’s deeply human and seriously underrated.

Rumi wrote about the soul finding itself in another.

Maybe transformation happens when one human truly meets another.

We just hit 400 in-person coffee conversations in my community.

The technology is new. The need to meet soul to soul is ancient.

Took a 8 week AI class and made this my capstone project: a little side quest to get offline and meet people in my community.

300+ people signed up and paid in < 3 months.

Don’t forget the simple magic of sitting across from a stranger and seeing where the conversation goes.

Your startup doesn’t need to be perfect when customers are already happily paying you.

@farezv @gregisenberg Angel syndicates are great for this.

Building a startup with talented people to solve a problem you’re all passionate about is a journey I hope everyone experiences.

@esthercrawford @ycombinator @daltonc Finding your people is an essential piece of the equation when it comes to changing the status quo.

[Esther Crawford ✨ @esthercrawford]

I used to feel like a weird outlier for being so ambitious and optimistic — but when I go to things like the YC alumni reunion I feel surrounded by my people.

@ycombinator is a community of builders who want to pull and lift humanity up, no matter how difficult or long the journey.

It requires some serious chutzpah to take on a grandiose challenge because there’s always a lot of fear and loathing about changing the status quo. Inertia wins by default.

What’s clear is that the ideas, people and companies that transform the world take time to produce. Success is nearly always a very circuitous path full of strange side quests and many failures.

One of the best ways to ensure you keep going when the outcome is uncertain is to surround yourself with people who are also irrationally inspired to take on hard problems. Sometimes the best thing we can do is bear witness to each other — it’s a reminder that you’re not alone and aside from physics, very few things are truly immutable.

Nearly everything in life, society, technology and business can be reconfigured.

The people who put in the work to reimagine and remake the world end up in charge of it.

@immad Meet the worlds people subscription. Think audible, only instead of using credits to buy books, you use your credits for 15 minute “Meet Me”. Choose from 1,000+ of brilliant people or let us choose for you.

Goal: Make it easy for people to ears and diversify their perspective.

[Andrew Gazdecki @agazdecki]

There's a huge opportunity to help startups hire someone that can help streamline and automate as much as possible with AI.

A few times a month I offer 30 minutes of free help & support to anyone who needs it. Ask me anything, bounce an idea off me, request feedback for 30 minutes 1:1 online.

Using a new platform so details on why you want to connect go a long way.
