The scarce resource is no longer information. It's knowing what to ask, and what to do with what comes back.

Every kid is asking ChatGPT for answers now.

We're building something that teaches them to think instead. @askpoppy_ai

Seriously, how do you ensure common folks understanding of techonological progress when its not summarizable into a bulletpoint?

[Lisan al Gaib @scaling01]

This is a good example of how AI news gets distorted.

The example is from Tagesschau, the most watched news program in Germany.

Anthropic says more than 80% of code merged into its codebase was authored by Claude -> they turn that into: "AI can invent 80% of new AI itself"

Anthropic says Claude achieved a ~52× speedup on a small-model training-code optimization benchmark -> they turn that into "AI trains itself 52× faster"

Anthropic says Claude shipped 800+ API-error fixes in April 2026, and that the overseeing engineer estimated a human would have taken four years to complete the work -> they turn that into "AI completes 4 years of work in 4 days"

This is what education in the age of AI looks like. Start with the language: the linguistic surface is your roadmap. Much like an SDK has a set of function definitions, human language is the new API to the world.

It also always has been… there's never been an expert in any field without mastery over its language. The distinction is that English alone could not produce tangible things. You had to translate it into machine instruction, through learning or delegation to others. You can now go direct.

one of the quotes i find most inspiring on a hard day:

"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom"

Learn to communicate

[Emil Kowalski @emilkowalski]

To get good animations from an AI you need to get good at telling it what you want:

- "stagger this list of items"
- "make this animation direction-aware"
- "spacial consistency", "crossfade", "layout animation",

I made a motion vocabulary for this:

KARPATHY JUST DROPPED 2 HOURS OF BRUTAL HONESTY ABOUT AI

> we're nowhere near real autonomous agents - including Claude Opus 4.8
> AGI will blend into daily life and nobody will notice
> he quit AI research to fix education. that's the problem he thinks matters more
