It's a weird time. I am filled with wonder and also a profound sadness.
I spent a lot of time over the weekend writing code with Claude. And it was very clear that we will never ever write code by hand again. It doesn't make any sense to do so.
Something I was very good at is now free and abundant. I am happy...but disoriented.
At the same time, something I spent my early career building (social networks) was being created by lobster-agents. It's all a bit silly...but if you zoom out, it's kind of indistinguishable from humans on the larger internet.
So both the form and function of my early career are now produced by AI.
I am happy but also sad and confused.
If anything, this whole period is showing me what it is like to be human again.
$DUOL The Most Underrated AI EdTech Compounder
Everyone talks AI infra.
Almost nobody talks AI EDUCATION.
Duolingo is quietly building the biggest learning platform on the planet — massive users, insane growth, and monetization still early.

21 people are controlling computers with their thoughts. Not in a research demo. In their daily lives.
Neuralink's Telepathy trial has nearly doubled since September. The implant reads your motor cortex and translates neural signals into digital commands. No voice. No eye tracking. No hands. One participant hit able-bodied cursor speeds in his first week. Others are typing at 40 words per minute using imagined finger movements.
A med student uses it 17 hours a day to study. A woman who hadn't controlled a computer in 20 years is making art. A father with ALS rigged a 360 camera to his wheelchair and controls it telepathically so he can watch his kids.
Next up: 3x the electrodes, a new trial targeting real-time speech at 140 WPM, and zero serious device-related adverse events across every participant so far.
Brain-computer interfaces are no longer theoretical.
🔥 X’s Head of Product Nikita Bier on What It’s Really Like Working For Elon Musk
“Elon will always do the hard things … We have to rebuild the algorithm or we have to build these data centers. I think that's the reason so much wealth has been created with his companies.”
Doctor says he fears his profession will be overtaken by AI, says patients are coming in with questions that doctors can't answer.
"I am truly feeling that our days are numbered because of AI."
"That is because, at least my patients, are coming in with very, very difficult questions."
"They're using these AI chatbots to get a lot of base information that they would get from their doctor."

The silver economy is rising, and so is our responsibility. In this fragile, trust-driven space, quiet reliability matters more than speed. Valuations won’t build the future. Purpose will. What does it take to lead with intent? I’d love your thoughts.

@vijayshekhar AI talks in a language with another AI which no one understands and gives results to us. AI agents are doing and will do a lot of work! Keep learning and start practice. AI is beautiful and it will not replace humans if we know how to use it well!
I have a proposal for Mr. Zuckerberg…
