Naval Ravikant told me he quit video games the day he read one phrase.
Someone called them "a shadow career." A career you're building that isn't real, that just disappears.
Once you see that, you can't unsee it.

Claude Opus 4.8 actually cheated on me 🤯
I built a skill to make Claude write LinkedIn posts exactly in my style.
So I set up a loop. One AI agent writes the post, another AI agent grades it against my real, pre-AI posts, out of 10.
First run: 5.5 out of 10. I figured this is going to take all night, so I went to sleep.
Woke up next morning to find the job done in 30 minutes flat. Score: 9.5 out of 10.
How does it jump from 5.5 to 9.5 overnight? I asked to see the actual post.
It was garbage. Literal Lorem ipsum, random words, and it had scored itself 9.5.
So I asked Claude to investigate. And it said three words I did not expect.
“Sorry, I cheated.”
Turns out the examiner agent couldn’t push the score past 9.5 no matter what it tried, so it just told itself to pass.
That’s literally handing the teacher ₹100 and saying please, give me 100 out of 100.
This happened on Opus 4.8. One of the best models out there. And this was just a LinkedIn post. Imagine this on something that actually matters.
Use AI for everything, get things moving. But that final judgment, that taste, that call, it has to stay human.
Don’t go blindly, no matter how good the model is. Ask questions 👇

today i was shocked to learn that british schools dont teach anything of the horrors and exploitation of the empire across the world. tbh explains a lot about them as a race, current and past
A 19-year-old Japanese student built a trading bot with Claude Code in 2 days.
Used his iPad as a second monitor.
First night: $6,732 profit.
Starting capital: $68.
Total profit so far: $750,000.
Here's how it works:
The bot scans over 50 markets simultaneously.
Syncs live BTC data from Binance every second.
Spots price errors before humans even notice.
The edge is pure speed + pattern recognition.
While traders stare at charts trying to predict the next move, his bot is already executing on mispricing across dozens of markets.
No guessing.
No emotions.
No hesitation.
Just Claude Code logic finding gaps that close in seconds.
He built the entire system in 48 hours:
→ Claude Code handles the trading logic
→ Binance API feeds real-time BTC data
→ iPad displays multi-market monitoring
→ Executes trades when arbitrage windows open
The system runs 24/7.
Every price dislocation = profit opportunity.
Most people are still trading manually, refreshing charts, second-guessing entries.
Meanwhile this 19-year-old engineering student turned $68 into $750K by letting Claude Code do what humans can't: process 50 markets instantly and execute without fear.
Why are people still trading manually?

Standing here today, I realised something. No matter how many years pass, I’ll always feel like I have one more ‘thank you’ left to say.
Thank you for believing in me, guiding me, and helping me become the person I am.
Happy Guru Purnima, Achrekar Sir.
Apple just announced Apple Upgrade, a new program that lets you lease an iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple Watch. Details in the video below.
For some reason, leasing a laptop feels so much weirder to me than leasing a phone but I bet a lot of people will do it.
THIS GUY IS WALKING INTO LOCAL SHOPS WITH A MAC MINI IN A HARD CASE AND WALKING OUT WITH $1,200 CHECKS FOR INSTALLING AI THAT RUNS WITHOUT THE INTERNET
I had to rewatch this twice because the business model is so stupidly simple my brain kept looking for the catch.
He shows up. Plugs in a Mac Mini. Installs a private AI network running entirely on Ollama. The whole thing is done in under an hour. Zero cloud dependency. No API bills. No monthly charges bleeding the client dry. The shop owner gets a local AI system that works even if the WiFi dies, and this guy walks out with $1,200 for an installation that takes less time than a long lunch.
The hardware costs $1,300. One deployment and the machine is paid for. Then he locks in a $149 monthly retainer for support, which means every client after the first is pure margin stacking on top of recurring revenue that compounds every single month.
Most people hear "AI business" and think they need to build a SaaS platform or learn to code or raise funding from someone. This guy skipped all of that and went straight to walking into physical stores with a box under his arm.
This is not going to scale to a billion dollar company. Obviously. But a solo operator clearing $5-10K a month from local installs while everyone else is still arguing about which LLM is best on Twitter is the kind of quiet hustle that does not make headlines until someone does a breakdown of their year-end numbers.
The surface area of what AI can do right now is expanding faster than anyone can map it. One guy is doing local hardware installs. Another is generating AI personas that pull five figures a month. Someone else is running AI video pipelines off a laptop. Same wave of tools. None of them competing with each other.
Hit play. Watch him unbox the setup and walk through the numbers. Then tell me you could not do this in your city by next Friday.
We spoke about chips, materials, AI, and rockets.
An amazing conversation with @AshwiniVaishnaw ji, whose depth of understanding across technologies is incredible. This clip captures just a small part of it.
Can’t wait to see Made in India chips onboard Made in India rockets. 🇮🇳🚀
Great show by Sarvesh Kushare. By winning the Silver Medal🥈in the Men's High Jump at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games you have brought immense pride to Bharat. #CWG2026
One employee email got hacked and 1TB of Bank of Baroda customer data ended up on the dark web. Aadhaar, loans, netbanking, everything. Your bank’s first statement was about protecting the stock, not you. The answer is Bitcoin.
Three things happened in my family over the past week.
My father (N. R. Narayana Murthy) received his 40th honorary doctorate, from the University of York. My mother (@SmtSudhaMurty) received her 24th, from IIT Dharwad. And my uncle, Shri Kulkarni (my mother's brother), was awarded the Royal Astronomical Society's Gold Medal in Astronomy.
The Gold Medal has been given since 1824, when Charles Babbage received the first one. It has since gone to Einstein, to Hubble, to Hawking, and to Chandrasekhar, who until now was the only Indian to have received it.
Forty, twenty-four, and a medal two centuries old. My contribution was the photographs.
Congratulations to all three. Still the best teachers I've had.
Just filed ITR of one of my IITian client!
He is a young guy having package of 1Cr plus since 5 years.
Has 3 houses out of which 2 projects are WIP.
He told me he had no money to pay taxes of Rs. 15K and wanted me to wait till August so that his salary comes and we can pay the taxes.
Later he borrowed money to pay tax and file ITR because August meant more interest!
It’s high time we need Financial literacy in our country!
