instead of watching 2 hours of Netflix tonight, watch this Stanford lecture

it's the clearest explanation I've seen of how ChatGPT and Claude actually work

useful whether you've never touched AI in your life or have been using it every day for the past year

i took the key ideas and turned them into a practical guide on how to actually get 100% out of AI

you can find it below with ready-to-copy prompts and solutions

One of those recipes that's somehow greater than the sum of its parts. If a bowl of pasta and chickpeas doesn't sound exciting, l'd encourage you to give this a try. Pasta e ceci, from @julius roberts wonderful book.

*Deep breath* 🧵
I’ve re-watched game from 56mins to clear my heads on the different thoughts from varying voices + work out whether this was psychological meltdown that is on the players (English DNA)? Or was it Tuchel (TT) losing the plot? Or maybe a mix?

If people genuinely believe Burnham won’t receive the exact same media onslaught, they’ve not been paying attention.

Starmer is not, objectively, bad. This idea that he is somehow the worst PM in British history is frankly laughable.

Liz truss lasted 49 days, crashed the pound and was laughed out of Downing Street.

Since Labour took office, Keir Starmer’s government has:

• Scrapped the two-child benefit limit, lifting hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty and putting money back into some of the hardest-pressed households in the country.

• Expanded free school meals, cutting costs for families and making sure more children get a proper meal during the school day.

• Expanded funded childcare, reducing one of the biggest monthly costs facing working parents and making it easier for people to stay in work.

• Raised the National Living Wage, increasing pay for millions of low-paid workers.

• Strengthened workers’ rights, giving people greater protection against insecure work and bad employers.

• Introduced statutory sick pay from the first day of illness, so workers are less likely to choose between their health and their wages.

• Ended no-fault evictions, giving renters more security in their homes.

• Brought rail operators back into public ownership, taking key services out of failed private hands and giving the public a stronger stake in how they are run.

• Cut NHS waiting lists from their post-pandemic peak, meaning more patients are being seen sooner.

• Raised the state pension through the triple lock, protecting pensioners’ incomes against rising costs.

• Scrapped the old non-dom tax regime, making some of the wealthiest people in the country pay more fairly.

• Added VAT to private school fees, raising money from those most able to contribute.

• Removed business rates relief from private schools, ending an unjustified tax break.

• Increased neighbourhood policing, putting more officers and PCSOs back into communities.

• Helped bring knife crime down, meaning fewer families face the devastation of serious violence.

• Recorded the lowest homicide rate since the 1970s, a material improvement in public safety.

• Created Great British Energy, giving Britain a publicly owned clean energy company.

• Created the National Wealth Fund, backing investment in industry, infrastructure and clean energy.

• Passed planning reforms aimed at getting homes and major projects built faster.

• Improved relations with the EU, reducing diplomatic hostility and rebuilding practical cooperation.

• Agreed a UK-EU security partnership, strengthening cooperation on defence and European security.

• Signed a long-term partnership with Ukraine, reinforcing Britain’s support against Putin’s invasion.

• Secured new trade agreements, opening up markets for British businesses.

• Helped restore seriousness to government after years of scandal, chaos and decline.

People do not have to like Starmer. They do not have to vote Labour. But pretending this is the record of the worst Prime Minister in British history is absurd.

This is powerful!!

The video strikingly illustrates the game of misinformation that’s being played by Nigel Farage & others. It shows who’s actually benefiting from it.

Absolutely worth watching!

The gorilla-philosopher has become an internet star

A 13-year-old male gorilla named Kiyomasa from a Japanese zoo, after quarreling with his partner, went to the corner of the enclosure, sat in the classic pose of Rodin’s “The Thinker,” and immersed himself in deep thoughts.

Andoni Iraola on why he chose Liverpool despite interest from multiple clubs:

🗣️ “I had many conversations with different clubs, very big clubs, very ambitious projects, all trying to convince me.

But for me, there was one decision that felt different from the beginning.

Liverpool is not just another job in football.

It is a club with identity, history, pressure, and emotion like few others in the world.

It has always been a dream of mine to manage at Anfield, even before I became a manager at this level.

And I have to be honest, one conversation changed everything for me.

I spoke with Jürgen Klopp.

He didn’t try to convince me in a normal way he spoke about the club, the fans, the responsibility, and what it means to lead Liverpool.

He told me: ‘If you ever get the chance, don’t think twice. At Liverpool, you don’t just manage a team… you carry a feeling.’

That stayed with me. After that call, my decision was made.

Other clubs offered projects, money, structure… but Liverpool offered something else. Belief. Expectation. Pressure.

And history that demands you give everything every single day.

I didn’t come here to take part. I came here because this is the club I always dreamed of leading.

And now that I’m here, I understand exactly what Klopp meant.”

It really doesn’t matter who you support. Just enjoying this ❤️

The skipper’s glowing tribute to the legacies of Mo and Robbo ❤️

[Paul🥷 @l4pablo]

We get to sing this special Mo Salah song one last time at Anfield on Sunday.

Mo Salah signing for Liverpool has to be by far the best 35m spent in the history of football. What a player, what a man.
