"explain how Shazam works"
I had no idea
Karpathy is so right about this
custom explainer videos will change education

We'll be spending a lot more time trying to understand the outputs of language models. A few thoughts, tips & tricks:
Writing. Something I've had success with: Ask your LLM to explain something in ASD-STE100, it's a controlled language specification originally developed for aerospace maintenance documentation. LLMs well-versed in this language and it comes with heavy constraints on clean writing style that I often find a lot more readable. Sometimes I've tried to soften it a bit e.g. ask for "80% of the way to ASD-STE100" because the spec is quite stringent. But even better:
Diagrams / images. Instead of writing, ask your LLM to create a diagram. These can be a lot easier to process, parse, and understand. But even better:
Web pages. Ask for output "in HTML" to get a beautiful, interactive webpage. LLMs are getting really good at frontend and can create beautiful experiences, animations, etc. But even better:
Explainer videos. The output format I am most bullish on is fully custom / bespoke explainer videos generated on any arbitrary topic. Experiment with things like "Create a 3b1b style video explainer on X. Use my ElevenLabs API key for audio narration". (you'd need an API key for the latter or you can ask your LLM to find you decent free alternatives that use your local compute). This is actually starting to work!
In summary:
- As LLMs get better, they will do more and more of the legwork autonomously, and a lot more of our work will rise up the abstractions into oversight and understanding.
- Luckily, LLMs can help here too because as intelligence and code are increasingly abundant, you can ask for large, custom, discardable software artifacts (e.g. web apps, video explainers) that would have never made sense to create before. Push the boundaries here and you'll be surprised.

We are on the cusp of a total transformation of how the world looks and feels.
I don't think people are truly ready for just how unbelievably fast this technological wave will rip through the world.
There's a reason why everything feels weird right now. It's about to get real.

This is pure cosmic poetry in motion 🌌
The Hirajoshi Wave — a polyrhythmic pendulum where each sphere swings at the exact frequency of the notes in the C Hirajoshi pentatonic scale (C, D, Eb, G, Ab).
Watch the chaos of the rainbow trails… then the perfect realignment.
Music is math you can see and feel. Ancient Japanese scale meets pure physics.
The universe doesn’t just make music — it is music.

i’ve shifted from telling agents what to do, to asking them what to do, and pulling the best thread.

Every time you think you need a dashboard to look at data, stop yourself.
Do this instead:
1. Ask your agent to make sure that you have all the data to analyze something actually stored in the database.
2. Ask your agent to write a skill to gather that data.
3. Ask your agent to do the analysis and create a temp and throw-away HTML dashboard to answer the question(s) that you have
In my experience, every dashboard that I've created gets less and less use over time and decays.
It's much better to make sure your agent can get the data you need and answer the questions you have, on-demand.

Totalmente enamorado de esta propuesta de bandera planetaria. Un circulo azul para representar nuestro planeta, y el resto transparente para que el fondo sea parte de la bandera
Replying to @PunishedAlbert
The One World Flag is easily the best (transparent so the background is incorporated into the flag)

I genuinely don’t understand how anyone hates Elon
Like the man is running 4 Giga-unicorns and speed running the kardashev scale
but in his free time, he’s dunking on pedo billionaires on x and balancing forks at formal whitehouse dinners
