We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. - Albert Einstein

Anthropic just dropped a 31-page prompting guide. Here's everything you actually need (in 10 rules): 1. You write "review this contract" and pray. Fix: Name every output. "Review this contract. Flag risks per clause. Rate severity 1-5. Return as a table." 2: You say "summarize this" on a 40-page report. Fix: 4.7 sizes the answer to the input. Cap it: "5 bullets. Each under 15 words. Start each with an action verb." 3: You write "don't use jargon. don't be salesy." Fix: Negative instructions don't stick. Flip them: "Write in plain English a 16-year-old could read aloud." 4: You type "can you help me with the email?" Fix: Each verb ships something. For example: "Go to Gmail. Find [contact]. Write the send-ready reply. Under 90 words. Tone: confident, casual." 5: You wait for Claude to web search on its own. Fix: Claude opus 4.7 calls fewer tools than 4.6. Force it: "Use web search aggressively. Verify every claim with at least 2 sources." 6: You miss the warm tone from old Claude. Fix: Claude opus 4.7 is direct. Almost zero emojis. Paste 2-3 sentences in the voice you want. Tell Claude to match the rhythm. 7: You ask for "a landing page" & get bare minimum. Fix: Drop this one line on every creative task → "Go beyond the basics." It's from Anthropic's own doc. 8: You forget Claude 4.7 doesn't reason by default. Fix: They call it "adaptive thinking." Add this at the end: "Think before answering (maximum reasoning)." Free upgrade. Every time. 9: You rewrite the same prompt 14 times a week. Fix: A skill is a command with instructions pre-built. Write the same prompt twice? Make it a skill. 10: You assume Claude knows what you meant. Fix: Old Claude 4.6 guessed. New Claude 4.7 does exactly what you typed. Spell it out. Output. Order. Length. Tone. Format. If you don't say it, you don't get it. To go even further & download my .md files directly: Step 1. Go to how-to-ai.guide. Step 2. Subscribe for free. Don't pay anything. Step 3.

I don't have many happy memories. For a long time, I thought it was just how I was wired. I had the science wrong. Memory isn't a personality trait. It's what's left of your attention. Your brain saves vivid memories when attention is high. That’s why time slows down at a wedding, a birth, or a car accident. You remember those moments because you were actually there. The reverse is also true. If you weren’t paying attention, your brain didn’t save it. The event happened, but you weren’t there for it. So now it’s gone. This is why most of your life is forgotten. Not because anything bad happened and is being suppressed—but because you weren’t fully there for most of it. You can’t fix a past you didn’t save. But you can give your future self a past worth coming back to. The you of ten years from now will only have what you save today. Sit with her at dinner. Look at your kid’s face. Notice your daily walk. Save the present. It’s all your past will ever be.

"Circa early 2018, somewhere in the quiet of his beloved Cornville, Arizona ranch, John McCain — living with the knowledge that his days were growing shorter — made a decision that was so perfectly, mischievously, achingly him that it made the whole country smile through their tears when they finally heard about it: he picked up the phone and called Barack Obama, the man who had defeated him for the presidency a decade earlier, and asked him to speak at his funeral. Obama later said that when that call came, he felt 'sadness and also a certain surprise' — and then, with the warmth that defined him, he recognized exactly what McCain was doing, telling mourners at the Washington National Cathedral on September 1, 2018 that the invitation showed McCain's 'irreverence, his sense of humor, a little bit of a mischievous streak' — because, as Obama put it to a cathedral that erupted in laughter through their grief, 'what better way to get a last laugh than to make George and I say nice things about him to a national audience?' It was John McCain's final act of political theater, and it was genius — choosing the two men who had each defeated him for the presidency to stand before the nation and celebrate his life, sending a message louder than any speech he could have given himself: that in America, rivalry and respect are not opposites, that the man you run against can still be the man you trust with your legacy, and that decency is not weakness but the most durable form of strength. Obama stood at that altar and told the packed cathedral that McCain had 'made this country better,' that he had made Obama a better president, and that when all was said and done, despite every disagreement, 'we never doubted the other man's sincerity or the other man's patriotism' — and in the front pew, Cindy McCain wept, because her husband had arranged, from the very edge of his life, one last beautiful lesson in what it means to be an American.

A New Era of #American #Comedy & #Satire will emerge with @StephenAtHome at the helm! When #ColbertNation ended I was sad. I never thought he could get to that genius. I was wrong. His #genius never left, nor did his #creativity & exceptional #humanity. ✨️More magic to come

Do what interests you the most. Nobody ever figures out what life is all about and it doesn’t matter.

Did you know we find birdsong relaxing because our brains associate it with safety since birds stop singing when predators are near? On top of this, their songs are particularly pleasant to your ear also because of the striking similarities between theirs and human music.

10 Reasons to Love Bees & Pollinators 1.They pollinate 75% of our food crops. 2.They keep wild plants reproducing. 3.They boost farm yields. 4.They make our landscapes colorful and alive. 5.They signal ecosystem health. 6.They’ve inspired science & design for centuries.

The Fibonacci sequence (0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13…) isn’t just math — it’s a universal pattern. As it grows, ratios of terms approach the Golden Ratio (Φ ≈1.618), a harmony found in spirals, plants, shells, galaxies & even DNA. [🎞️ thevisualalchemy]

Every generation thinks the next machine will replace humanity. The tractor. Electricity. The computer. The internet. Now AI. But history says something different. When the cost of intelligence drops, human ambition expands. That’s the part most people miss. The recent a16z article on the “AI Job Apocalypse” made one thing very clear: AI is not deleting work. It’s reallocating work. (a16z.news) Routine tasks shrink. Higher leverage work grows. The spreadsheet didn’t eliminate finance. The internet didn’t eliminate business. The smartphone didn’t eliminate communication. They created entirely new industries. AI will do the same. The winners in this era will not be the people fighting AI. It will be the people using AI to amplify judgment, creativity, speed, and execution. One person with AI can now: - build a company faster - launch products faster - learn faster - create content faster - solve problems faster We are entering an age where intelligence becomes abundant. And when intelligence becomes abundant, execution becomes the new scarcity. That changes everything. The most optimistic part? A teenager with a laptop now has capabilities that once required entire corporations. That is not dystopian. That is empowering. Yes, some jobs will disappear. Every technological revolution reshapes labor. But new industries are already emerging: AI operators. AI strategists. AI workflow architects. Human-AI collaboration designers. Autonomous business builders. The future belongs to people who adapt early. Not people who panic early. AI is not the end of human value. It’s the beginning of a new operating system for civilization. And the people who learn to work with intelligence instead of competing against it will build the next generation of companies, wealth, and breakthroughs. The industrial revolution multiplied physical power. AI multiplies cognitive power. That’s a far bigger shift. Source : @a16z a16z.news/p/the-ai-job-a…

Look at this number: 3,200,000,000,000. That's how many planets exist in our galaxy alone. If you tried to count them — one per second, every second, never stopping — it would take you over 100,000 years. That's just in one galaxy. There are 2 trillion more galaxies.

It was great talking to Stephen and the inspiring young people we’ve worked with at the @ObamaFoundation on the @ColbertLateShow. When the Obama Presidential Center opens this June 19, my hope is that this will be a place where people can come together to meet, learn, and work with each other to create change in their communities.

The other way to have the biggest impact is to cooperate: 50 people working together can make a bigger change than 500 people working alone.
