The loudest story about AI is a lonely one. One person with an army of chatbots. Other humans are friction. That gets the future wrong. The best things aren’t built alone. In a moment of change, we want to remind the world (and ourselves) what Notion stands for: — Think Together

@ivanhzhao would love the access!

LMK if you want early access (and can provide ample feedback in exchange)

@suhaniashok love this!

i'm not telling you how many tokens this took but i am telling you it was worth it

@ameekapadia @cantos @grant__gregory Interested!

Who wants to come to a private screening of “The Thinking Game” in SF Reply or DM for details! May have a special guest 👀

Training LLMs end to end is hard. Very excited to share our new blog (book?) that cover the full pipeline: pre-training, post-training and infra. 200+ pages of what worked, what didn’t, and how to make it run reliably huggingface.co/spaces/Hugging…

I wrote a 4000-words long article about all the math you need to know for machine learning. Trust me, you want to bookmark this: thepalindrome.org/p/the-roadmap-…

I've spent the year studying how designers are exploring. Then the @karrisaarinen vs. @ryolu_ debate kicked off, and it captured everything I've been seeing this year. I sat down to write a 60 second video about it. 6 hours later I'd written something more. Reasonable hyperbole: this was the most important convo in design this year.

if i were starting my design journey today, i would – 🎨 expand my taste • explore one non-design discipline deeply, like film, music, architecture, or sports • read psychology and behavioral sciences to understand how people think • break down the top 0.1% products and understand what makes them feel great • rebuild those products from scratch to train my eye on details 🎛️ become fully ai native • use cursor or vibe code to ship one end-to-end usable project every month • learn core coding concepts and logic, even if ai writes most of it • if in college, use .edu email to try every ai tool for free / cheaply 🗣️ strengthen my communication • study great storytellers and pitches to spot patterns and practice them • read quality content and write often to sharpen articulation • showcase my work to friends or like-minded communities 🕸️ grow my surface area • build a simple website and upload all my work in progress experiments • cold dm teams and founders, take small freelance projects to learn from • make it easy for people to reach me with clear links • join one active builder community and meet people

My four word career advice is "get good, be known." My longer career advice is here:

@eddiejiao_obj @cmmnknwledge Would love to test this!

At @cmmnknwledge, we’ve been working on replacing the phone homescreen with a live document that changes throughout the day with the information you need. We’re looking for beta testers to try it out and help shape the this experience with us. Comment below for a testflight!

I'm teaching a new "Intro to Modern AI" course at CMU this Spring: modernaicourse.org. It's an early-undergrad course on how to build a chatbot from scratch (well, from PyTorch). The course name has bothered some people – "AI" usually means something much broader in academic contexts – but I think the time has come where the first thing that many students interested in AI should see is how the AI they are familiar with actually works (because it's really simple!) The more people who understand it the better. I'll be trying to put as much material as I can that we develop online (assignments + autograding, hopefully lecture videos), though as a first-time course there are also likely to be some bumps along the way. Hopefully it becomes a good resource over time, though. Feedback welcome.
