Anthropic Quant Andrej Karpathy:
"Most people use tools that they don't understand
- the ones who strip everything down to basics - end up faster than everyone else "
"the best code is the code anyone can read "
he couldn't fix a bug in 2 hours, so instead of googling - he rewrote the entire system from scratch
no frameworks. no dependencies. it ended up faster
that's the difference between using AI and understanding it

Demis Hassabis: "In the near future, one person who knows AI will outperform an entire startup team"
I've watched hundreds of AI talks, this 60-minute Cambridge lecture is the one I wish I had seen a year ago
this is the Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry, CEO of Google DeepMind and the guy who made AI solve biology
here's the part I can't stop thinking about:
> the AI you're using today is the dumbest it will ever be
> in 5 years the gap between people using AI and people who aren't will be impossible to hide
> companies will run on 10 people doing what 200 used to do
> the ones who get there first won't be the smartest, they'll be the ones who started right now
right now the average person opens Claude, types something, gets an answer, closes the tab
they think they're using AI, but they're using maybe 10% of it
the 10 people doing the work of 200 won't be typing prompts, they'll be running agents
that's exactly why I put together a step-by-step guide on building your first AI agent
agents are the part of AI moving fastest right now, full walkthrough in the article below
Wow! There it is, and so fast. Maybe exaggerated, but we all know what tomorrow is bringing. I am going to break out my short burst EMTs, just in case.
