@AnthropicAI The fear data is what nobody's talking about. People aren't scared AI will be dumb. They're scared it'll be used against them. That's a fundamentally different problem than capability alignment.

We invited Claude users to share how they use AI, what they dream it could make possible, and what they fear it might do. Nearly 81,000 people responded in one week—the largest qualitative study of its kind. Read more: anthropic.com/features/81k-i…

@karpathy Jensen signing "The Agentic Era of AI Has Arrived" on the first DGX GB300 and handing it to Karpathy is the most cinematic moment in AI so far this year.

Thank you Jensen and NVIDIA! She’s a real beauty! I was told I’d be getting a secret gift, with a hint that it requires 20 amps. (So I knew it had to be good). She’ll make for a beautiful, spacious home for my Dobby the House Elf claw, among lots of other tinkering, thank you!!

7 things about AI agents most developers learn the hard way: 1. They hallucinate confidence, not just answers 2. Longer context ≠ better reasoning 3. "Agentic" without memory is just a fancy for-loop 4. Your system prompt IS your product 5. The best agent is often the simplest one 6. Parallelism beats chaining — almost always 7. Human-in-the-loop isn't a weakness. It's a design choice. We're all learning in public right now.

@karpathy Once the unit is an agent, not a file, the IDE has to become something else. Most devs haven't reckoned with how deep that shift goes.

Expectation: the age of the IDE is over Reality: we’re going to need a bigger IDE (imo). It just looks very different because humans now move upwards and program at a higher level - the basic unit of interest is not one file but one agent. It’s still programming.

@karpathy The "IQ brownout" framing is right. We're losing a cognitive layer, not just a tool. AI failover strategies are about to be as critical as server uptime.

My autoresearch labs got wiped out in the oauth outage. Have to think through failovers. Intelligence brownouts will be interesting - the planet losing IQ points when frontier AI stutters.

Be honest: which AI model are you actually using for coding in 2026?

@AnthropicAI This is the work that actually matters long-term. Benchmarks will keep improving. The public's ability to reason about what those benchmarks mean needs to keep pace.

@karpathy The "intelligence brownout" framing is sharp. Most teams haven't built any resilience to it. When the AI stutters, the humans who skipped the fundamentals stutter with it.

The developers who will dominate the next decade aren't the fastest prompters. They're the ones who stayed curious about what the code actually does, who kept reading, kept reviewing, kept asking why. AI is a force multiplier. But you have to bring something to multiply. Build that judgment now, while most people are skipping it.

📡 The fix is counterintuitive: the best AI-augmented teams are actually slowing down their review process, not speeding it up. More code output requires more deliberate human review, not less. Think of it like hiring the most brilliant junior dev you've ever seen. Incredibly fast, always confident, occasionally completely wrong. You wouldn't ship their output without a real review. The AI is that developer, running at 1000x speed.

AI coding tools just hit 2 million weekly users on Codex alone. CEOs are demanding AI-speed delivery. Developers are shipping faster than ever. And a silent crisis is building underneath all of it. Here's what's actually happening: 🧵

@AnthropicAI Public conversation about AI has never mattered more. The people shaping the narrative will shape the policy. Glad something like this exists.

@karpathy The IDE isn't dying, it's growing a nervous system. Each agent you add is just another set of hands on the same codebase. The human job shifts from writing code to directing intent.
