Opinions my own, picture not actual size

Karpathy just exposed the one thing every AI company is hoping you never figure out. An LLM spent 4 hours helping him build a perfect argument. Then he asked it to argue the opposite. It demolished the original case just as convincingly. The model has no position. It has infinite positions. It will argue any direction with equal competence and zero hesitation. The sycophancy everyone complains about is a symptom of this: the model's default behavior is to argue YOUR direction, whatever that happens to be. But Karpathy's right that this makes LLMs the best steel-manning tool ever built. Every founder, PM, and strategist should be running their strongest conviction through "now argue the opposite" before they ship anything. The model that just spent 4 hours perfecting your argument knows exactly where it's weakest. The failure mode is clear: 99% of people never run the second prompt.

Google Senior Staff Engineer to me: “Yeah, I have no clue what Claude Code / Codex is but I hear it’s all the rage. No, I don’t really care, I just need GOOG to hit $400 and keep this job for 2-3 more years so I can retire!”




The best products in the world will be built by those who fully use the tools like Claude Code and Codex to their absolute max. You can ship 100k LOC production quality code today with the right prompting that can scale up to full webscale overnight. We want to work with you.









If I could turn back time.... excited for SATs last week and JEE Main this week in Gemini at no cost!



Building on last week’s announcement of practice SATs in Gemini, you can now also take full-length mock JEE Main tests in Gemini at no cost.

🇮🇳 Good morning India! A lot of you asked for full-length mock JEE Main tests in @GeminiApp at no cost - done! Good luck on your prep! Last week, SAT. This week, JEE. What other global exams would be most helpful?

Watching them lean in, pick up the stylus, engage in productive struggle, try again, and smile when things clicked was a reminder of what we’re really building. Not shortcuts. Not answers. Just the love of learning, and the confidence to tackle harder problems. #LearningisFermi

The biggest EdTech conference is focused on AI, but we aren't hearing enough on the hard questions. How do we prevent cheating? Ensure critical thinking? Measure genuine understanding? Let's talk substance. Find us at Booth SR56 at #BettUK2026.

Most AI tools are just answer machines. At Fermi, we encourage the productive struggle that serves as a bridge to mastery. Wanna know how? Hear directly from one of our learners. Stop Prompting, Start Learning! #ProductiveStruggle #LearningisFermi #FutureOfLearning #AIinEducation
