Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.
stop what you're doing…
here's 14 things you gotta do with AI:
1. export your ChatGPT + Claude memories, context, and workflows so you know what each model knows about you that the other doesn't
2. generate DESIGN .md + CLAUDE .md + AGENTS .md for your agentic repos
3. build a model agnostic skills library that Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes, and Cursor can all read from the same symlink
4. version your system prompts in git with PR review so silent drift gets caught in diff instead of in production
5. build a /goal template library covering your top 10 recurring workflows so you stop rewriting the same 200 word prompts every Monday
6. set up a daily report and a weekly standup with your agent that reads yesterday's commits, tasks, memory, your calendar, and your inbox, then briefs you in 60 seconds
7. wire your Obsidian vault as the read/write target for every agent so research, decisions, and meeting notes land as linked markdown by default
8. build a Karpathy-style autoresearch loop where your agent logs its own failures, proposes skill patches, and you approve them weekly
9. design a UGC AI character (and/or mascot) with 35+ emotions for brand world building so every loading state, every error screen, and every post in your feed shares the same look
10. cancel 2-3 SaaS subscriptions by replacing them with agents and skill files
11. run a security agent across all your repos weekly to catch npm attack vectors, prompt injection, leaked .env, and MCP misconfigs before someone else does and you regret it
12. build a prompts library of image, video, and audio generation templates so you stop relearning Nano Banana, Grok, Seedance, and ChatGPT syntax every time there’s a new release
13. build a personal benchmark of 20 tasks from your real work so you can A/B every model release against your actual workflow instead of the bogus leaderboards
14. build daily cron jobs for your data ingestion across the topics you actually care about: research, content, trading, competitive intel, etc.
the next few months will separate the operators using complex systems from those still manually typing prompts one at a time.
these are table stakes.
act accordingly.
this is amazing. do this.
get codex to write its own /goal
/goal + gpt-5.5 high + fast mode is the highest leverage ai agent configuration available today
tips for codex goals
sure you can use /goal but it also has a set_goal() function
its almost better to prompt the model to set its own goal, it will likely write a better prompt than you
it costs less for claude to hire a dedicated copywriter than it would for one of their senior marketers to quality control LLM outputs…
not to mention that the copywriter they hire will 100% use an LLM to help in the copywriting process
don’t see why this is something controversial
spent a few weeks deep in Hermes + Openclaw earlier this year...
over-offloaded everything, daily maintenance got brutal and output rarely hit
switched back to Claude Code via Telegram and rebuilt the workflow from scratch
then GPT-5.5 dropped... then GPT-Images-2... then GPT-Realtime-2
and Hermes quietly became THE move
> best coding model
> best daily model
> best image model
> best voice model
all running through ONE subscription on your own agent
takes 5 min to setup on a VPS, plug in your GPT sub, hand your friends and family an agent that generates awesome images, processes voice notes, builds anything and actually remembers everything
this thing rarely misses anymore
hear me out anon. whatever you're using right now, drop it for one night. install hermes agent. set a /goal for that one thing you've been thinking about but never started. go to sleep. just try it once.
not sure if btc continues to provide diminishing returns but it is certainly possible (i choose to believe it wont for now)
but alts (on average) will continue to get more difficult and dangerous to trade imo, irreversible trend.
(1) massive competition amongst increasingly sophisticated buyers (who simultaneously believe less)
(2) primarily traded on perps/with leverage.
(3) huge dilution in coins with mkt valuing stuff high by default without justification
(4) launch FDVs always capturing 100% of optimism for the asset without respecting price/valuarion
(5) too much pre-market price discovery for (4) to be safe
the average 2017 buyer buys spot and hodls weeks/months cos they believe, add on the way up, asset was trading at low val early so works out.
average 2025 buyer is buying on perps without checking the valuation and sells whenever their PNL goes red or force sells in liquidation.
however, it will remain the best place for returns for smart ppl. skill expression and asset selection is much more important. patience much more highly rewarded over being "early" on liquid markets last few years.
and then outlier assets will continue to exist, maybe 1 every couple of years, and when they turn up you can turn brain off and 2017 it.
imo anyways (hopefully)
had a fantastic time with Doc, VOD is available for replay if you guys wanna check it out
will def have to do another one soon but in the meantime big thank you again to Doc and all of you for tuning in <3
see you bozos soon
current market thoughts:
some alts straight up look macro bottomed, but that doesnt mean a bull market has to start today, they can take forever to build up enough steam for that, mini rallies like 2022 most likely.
alts with narratives = tradable
alts without = require crime, not worth your energy
btc in 60ks is a steal, i believe in new ATHs so imo free sized spot 2x. take it with a grain of salt if you must- im a delusional btc believer.
imo current btc rally most likely nearing the end soon as we trade into HTF downtrend structures. +28% in about 30 days. I was a bull from 60s and fighting off war fud, equities weakness etc but now imo the EV for bulls has diminished dramatically
"if ES pulls back, then BTC dies" is low EV HTF signal, we more often then not front run equities weakness on HTF then stall out as they find a bottom. ES isn't a good leading signal in my experience.
thoughts, not predictions.
compute is fucking king and gpt codex currently wears the crown, look at this thing:
> guy tried to recreate Maplestory (played by 100Ms globally) with codex
> 30 minutes in codex already one-shotted the design, gameplay and characters.
> only used 5% of his 5 hour limit.
do you understand how fucking insane that is? 2 months ago openai sucked at coding....
software engineers universally dismissed codex as a toy vs. claude code.
Now not only is codex 5.5 the leading coding ai, it also thinks for longer, works 24/7 and is AVAILABLE TO YOU
i love claude, i really want to try mythos but i can't. either thats because it's too dangerous or anthropic is still scaling compute
either way - openai has the compute, they're resetting limits every other day and it's proven you can build insane things with it
compute = abundance
I put everything into crypto for 3 years straight, only to walk away with 5% of what I made.
The real cost though, is a mental one.
The ones I care about who I could have, should have, helped.
Instead I let greed get the better of me and in this game, you only have yourself to blame.
What is only possible in crypto, is also only possible in crypto.
Manage your greed or be punished by it a thousand times over.
I share this in hopes to help just one person who’s currently at the other end of my situation, pushing for me.
Be grateful for what you have and if you already have the life you dreamt of, secure it at all costs.
i'm done. codex is fucking incredible
after heavily using claude code for over 13 months, i've moved to codex
opus 4.7 is painfully slow and takes 5-10 mins for a one-liner. the app is super buggy and flickers constantly. low thinking is useless. and they keep nerfing the model for some reason??
codex's new app is genuinely beautiful and gpt-5.5 thinking-medium is the perfect balance
ngl @sama you cooked on this one
A common dynamic I observe with AI: it feels most impressive when you don’t know much about the subject, don’t care or don’t have a clear idea of what the you want.
This applies across design, code, legal, and more. If I don’t know code very well, every piece of code it writes feels very impressive.
Once you know what something should feel or look like, it becomes almost impossible to guide AI there. And you definitely can’t one-shot it.
