One of my friend makes $1.2 million a year as an Anthropic engineer.

I asked him how he learned prompting so well. He sent me a video that was never supposed to get out. Their core team's prompting playbook.

You won’t find anything better about prompting than this 30 minutes video.

I watched it last night. Halfway through, I realized I've been using Claude completely wrong for two years.

Watch it, then read the article below.

Mark Cuban on the next job wave:

"Software is dead because everything's gonna be customized to your unique utilization. Who's gonna do it for them..."

The answer is people who know how to fine-tune small LLMs on private data.

Not prompting. Not API wrappers.

Actual custom models trained on your business.

And almost nobody knows how to do it yet.

This is the complete guide ↓

Bookmark this. This is the one.

She's 18 built an AI agent with Opus 5 and sold it to Anthropic for $3.2M - and came to Stanford to show how to do it from scratch:

00:34 - how Opus 5 builds a $3.2M agent in one evening
15:34 - 4 agents replaced 400 Anthropic engineers
34:47 - from first prompt to a $3.2M check from Anthropic

after watching I spent 60 minutes building my first agent - it cut my workday by 90% and a week later I got a $100k check from Anthropic:

Apple hid a $200/year toolkit inside a free app called Settings.

You've had it since the day you unboxed your phone.

You've probably opened it twice — once to change your wallpaper, once to turn on Airplane Mode.

Here's everything else that's been sitting there. 🧵

Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI):

"You don't need to write prompts anymore. You need loops and graphs."

In 40 minutes he explains how to use LLMs better than almost anyone does

Prompts → Agents → Loops → Graphs

most people are still perfecting the message and waiting to see what comes back

he builds the shape once and stops writing messages altogether

same model, same tokens, completely different week

Ten million people have watched an MIT professor accidentally destroy the executive coaching industry.

He filmed the lecture once in January 2018 and died eighteen months later.

Executive coaches charge fifteen thousand dollars a session to teach a third of what he covered in one hour for free.

His name was Patrick Winston. He ran the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory from 1972 to 1997 and wrote the AI textbook every computer science major in the world read for thirty years.

Every January for four decades, he gave a lecture called "How to Speak."

His entire framework fits on a napkin.

Do not read. Be in the image. Keep images simple. Eliminate clutter. Start with an empathetic connection. End with a punch line the audience can repeat over dinner. Never open with a joke. Never end with "thank you."

That last rule alone has probably cost the executive coaching industry a hundred million dollars.

"Your success in life will be determined largely by your ability to speak, your ability to write, and the quality of your ideas. In that order."

That is the actual opening line of the lecture. Winston believed it strongly enough to spend fifty years teaching computer scientists how to talk.

Founders spend $80,000 on an MBA and then hire a communications coach to teach them the same material Winston filmed once for free. Engineers write brilliant code and lose promotions to teammates who watched this lecture on the train.

The lecture is free on MIT OpenCourseWare. The textbook is free on his page.

Winston died in 2019. Almost none of the ten million viewers have actually implemented the four rules on the napkin.

The napkin is free. The willingness to actually use it in your next meeting is the entire edge.

[AI_Explorer @ai_explorer25]

Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI):

"You no longer need to write prompts."

In just 38 minutes, he explains how to use ChatGPT at a level that most people can't even imagine.

It's a talk he gave to Stanford students. A friend sent me the recording last night.

After watching it, I realized I was only taking advantage of about 15% of what this tool can really do.

Watch it in full and then read the guide I leave below on how to create a system that prompts itself.

[Sanskriti Naruka @snskritinaruka]

🚨 BREAKING NEWS! The engineer who created Claude Code from scratch just released a 28-minute video that's pure gold:

how to write prompts that actually deliver ridiculously good results.

I've seen $300 courses that don't even come close to what he explains in the first 10 minutes.

CLAUDE.md files, memory shortcuts, parallel sessions, and prompting patterns that almost no one uses...

All in one single video. Completely free. No fluff.

Whether you're a developer, just starting out, or already been using Claude for months: this changes the game for you starting today.

Save. Watch. Share.

It’s amazing how someone’s IQ seems to double as soon as you give them responsibility and indicate that you trust them.

In 2002, I had outsourced customer service for order tracking and returns but still handled product-related questions myself. The result? I received more than 200 e-mail per day, spending all hours between 9–5 responding to them, and the volume was growing at a rate of more than 10% per week!

I had to cancel advertising and limit shipments, as additional customer service would have been the final nail in the coffin. It wasn’t a scalable model. Remember this word, as it will be important later.

It wasn’t scalable because there was an information and decision bottleneck: me.

The clincher? The bulk of the e-mail that landed in my inbox was not product-related at all but requests from the outsourced customer service reps seeking permission for different actions:

The customer claims he didn’t receive the shipment. What should we do?

The customer had a bottle held at customs. Can we reship to a U.S. address?

The customer needs the product for a competition in two days. Can we ship overnight, and if so, how much should we charge?

It was endless.

Hundreds upon hundreds of different situations made it impractical to write a manual, and I didn’t have the time or experience to do so regardless.

Fortunately, someone did have the experience: the outsourced reps themselves. I sent one single e-mail to all the supervisors that immediately turned 200 e-mail per day into fewer than 20 e-mail per week:

"Hi All,

I would like to establish a new policy for my account that overrides all others.

Keep the customer happy.

If it is a problem that takes less than $100 to fix, use your judgment and fix it yourself. This is official written permission and a request to fix all problems that cost under $100 without contacting me. I am no longer your customer; my customers are your customer.

Don’t ask me for permission.

Do what you think is right, and we’ll make adjustments as we go along.

Thank you,
Tim"

Upon close analysis, it became clear that more than 90% of the issues that prompted e-mail could be resolved for less than $20. I reviewed the financial results of their independent decision-making on a weekly basis for four weeks, then a monthly basis, and then on a quarterly basis.

This is fucking awesome

[Anjula Dwivedi @HeyAnjula]

A billionaire sat in a room for 42 minutes and listed every psychological trick that makes people lose money. for free. the finance industry has spent thirty years pretending this recording does not exist.

he didn't sell a course. he didn't write a newsletter. he sat in a chair at 96 years old and explained why brilliant people do the dumbest things with their money. then he explained why they will keep doing it.

MBA programs charge $200,000 to teach behavioral finance. he covered 25 biases in one sitting. some of them are still not in any curriculum. he gave the entire framework away on camera.

the part nobody talks about: he called crypto antisocial. he said index funds will crush most managers. he said private equity is full of wretched excess. he said all of this in a room full of people who manage money for a living. nobody argued.

a hedge fund analyst at a top firm told me this is the first thing they send to anyone who joins the desk. not a book. not a model. a 42-minute video of a 96-year-old man explaining why you will be wrong and how to recognize it before it costs you everything.

40 million people have heard his name. almost none of them have watched him explain the 25 ways their own brain is working against them.

the lecture is free. he died the following year. it is in the video.

@LycaMobileForUK Abysmal customer service, & an eSIM that won't load onto my phone. A total waste of money & time! Useless.

@CurrysServices Really shocked @ lack of customer service – had new hob installed Aug '23. One ring stopped working - clearly faulty. Local shop closed, so being told to take it 2hrs to nearest shop. No other means of exchange or refund. Seriously? #worstcustomerservice
