Creator of Claude Code: "Right now you still need to know how to code. In a year or two, it won't matter. I haven't edited a single line by hand since November." In a 90-minute podcast, Boris Cherny breaks down the exact setup behind the tool now writing 4% of every public commit on GitHub. More value than a $500 vibe-coding course. Save this. In a year we'll know if he was right.

Anthropic CEO: "If my revenue is not $1 trillion, even $800 billion, there's no force on earth, no hedge on earth, that could stop me from going bankrupt." In a 3-hour podcast, Dario Amodei does the math on his own bankruptcy. Revenue 10x a year. 90% of code written by the model. A country of geniuses by 2028. He can't tell you if it ends in trillions or zero. The most honest voice in AI, or the biggest bubble admitting it?

A 20-year-old guy earned $37,250 in a month creating YouTube content and barely even touches the editing software. He set up an autonomous "content factory" where Claude acts as the brain and Premiere Pro serves as the body. The system works 24/7 while he lives his life. Claude analyzes high-CPM niches, writes scripts, and uses Python scripts to trigger voiceovers and video generation. In the first month alone, one of his channels hit hundreds of thousands of views on Shorts. One client video ($400) -> 15 minutes of AI work = $400 profit. 20 videos per week = $8,000. He simply had an idea, and Claude took care of everything: from the first word of the script to the final render.

ANTHROPIC HAS AN OFFICIAL PROMPT LIBRARY FOR CLAUDE CODE Most people have never opened it. So they write every prompt from scratch. It is copy-paste, tagged by task and by role, across the whole lifecycle: discover → design → build → ship → operate Straight from the page: > what would break if I deleted this helper? > plan this refactor, list the files, do not touch code yet > write tests for this, run them, fix what fails > the test is failing, find out why and fix it This is not a cheat sheet. It is a map of what Claude Code already does for you. Bookmark it before you forget it exists.

CEO of Anthropic, Dario Amodei: "We are near the end of the exponential." 3 things he said in 2 hours. The third, even Dwarkesh pushed back on. One: at Anthropic, models already do "100% of today's coding tasks." Two: a country of geniuses in a datacenter, 90% likely within 10 years. Three: why he won't buy more datacenters, with AGI this close. Save it. Reread in 2028 and see who was right.

Creator and head of Claude Code, Anthropic: "I don't prompt Claude anymore. I have loops running that prompt Claude and decide what to do. My job is to write loops." He hasn't hand-written a line of code since November. 100% is Claude Code now. Still ships 10 to 30 pull requests a day. He breaks down his actual workflow in the 1h28m podcast. Loops writing 100% of the code. Engineer leveling up, or automated out?

Instagram co-founder. Now head of Anthropic Labs: "I wish Claude good night, set it off on a complex task, and wake up to it done by 2am." In a 52-min podcast, Mike Krieger shows his real setup. His own weekend, not a demo. Instagram V1 took him five days of all-nighters. His weekend app took zero. The man who built Instagram by hand now sleeps through the build. Trust it overnight, or is that a step too far?

$401 million in revenue in year one. $1.8 billion projected for this one. Employees: two. Him and his brother. AI wrote the code, made the ads, answered the customers. Starting capital: $20,000. The New York Times called it the future of business. The future is already here, just not evenly distributed. This is the moment when anyone with a laptop and the will to figure it out can make money.

A guy got tired of renting intelligence from the cloud, so he put a 120-billion-parameter model in his closet for $0 a month. One mini PC. The Minisforum MS-S1 MAX. 128GB of unified memory, and a trick that hands 96GB of it straight to the GPU. Here's how it breaks: That 96GB is the whole game. Enough to run GPT-OSS-120B fully local, and still keep the agent and dashboard on the same box. 120 billion parameters. 56.6 tokens a second. A 5,000-word essay in one pass at 110W and 68°C. Quiet. Cool. Local. Then Hermes Agent goes on top, pointed at localhost. No API key, because there's nothing to phone home to. It drafts, researches, runs tool calls, manages sub-agents. None of it leaves the network. The cloud version cost $10 to $20 a day, keys and customer data routed through machines he didn't own. Now it's a box in a closet. $0 a month. The chip is real. The build is brilliant. And somewhere in the first few minutes, the AI stopped being a bill he paid every morning and became a machine he owns, humming in a closet, working for free.

She opened an AI just to laugh at how lazy kids cartoons had gotten. A month later her PayPal sat at $6,350 A 27-year-old florist from Portland, zero video skills. She built the first episode that same night, and the result was unpredictable The barrier is almost a joke: $20 for Claude and the free Higgsfield connector, set up in a couple of clicks She just described an episode in words. Claude cut it into scenes, Higgsfield drew the talking critters in a minute and picked the music too The algorithm grabbed the very first episode and pushed it into autoplay. Within a week advertisers were flooding her inbox By the end of the month the math checked out: $6,350 in PayPal, without a single hand-drawn frame 23 episodes built in a month 9 brands reached out first 14 minutes per episode The awkward part: a whole episode takes her less time than arranging one bouquet

A developer figured out how to give AI permanent memory for $0.40 a year. No complex vector databases. No massive cloud storage. Just a single 4,000-token file that refuses to grow. The secret? True memory isn’t about storing everything. It’s about aggressive deletion. Instead of endlessly appending data, his system rewrites just six core fields on every turn: > IDENTITY: Who you are and what you build (300 tokens) > STATE: Current active task and focus (400 tokens) > DECISIONS: Settled choices—zero re-arguing (800 tokens) > CORRECTIONS: Every "no, do it this way" moment (600 tokens) > PEOPLE: Key names, roles, and open dependencies (500 tokens) > GRAVEYARD: Dead attempts, so bad ideas never return (400 tokens) Total size: 3,000 tokens. Absolute hard ceiling: 4,000 tokens. When a category hits its limit, the model compresses it. Data is never stacked—only pruned and replaced. Using Kimi K2.5 caching rates ($0.10/M tokens), running this budget memory costs $0.0004 per turn. That is 2,500 interactive turns for a single dollar. The real breakthrough lies in the CORRECTIONS field. Standard AI models waste compute making the same mistakes twice. This schema forces the assistant to remember its failures instantly. While the rest of the industry burns millions searching through bloated history logs, he pays pennies to keep his context razor-sharp. Your memory system isn't defined by what you save. It’s defined by what you have the discipline to throw away. Bookmark this breakdown. You will need it for your next build.

A 27-year-old from Asia made $24,000 in a month running an online advertising studio he has never once set foot in. he used to be the streamer. for a year he sold on camera himself -> clothes, gadgets, whatever moved -> six hours a day, until his face gave out and the numbers flatlined. one person can only stand under the ring light so long. so he stopped being the talent and became the operator. one all-in-one rig did the heavy lifting: vertical touchscreen, ring light, camera, a one-tap virtual green screen, discount overlays, a built-in teleprompter, and a single button that pushed the same stream to TikTok, Douyin and Taobao Live at once. then he took himself out of the frame. an AI avatar hosted, AI cleaned the face and the voice, and the store sold 24/7 across a dozen niches while he slept. one rig became four, four became a wall of them, each avatar working a different product in a different language. the caps didn't come from being good on camera. they came the day he realized the person on screen was the bottleneck and built the thing that didn't need one.

A guy quietly runs 24 YouTube channels and has made $4,000,000 from them Channels: 24 Shorts views: 80,000,000 per month Long form views: 5 to 15,000,000 per month Best month: 34,000,000 views and around $100,000 He scrolls through his phone and just lists them: Minecraft Curios, 1.66M subscribers and 474 videos. Valorant Curios, 539K subscribers and 1,500 videos. Minecraft Curios Animations, 428K. Then come Overwatch, League of Legends, World of Warcraft, Wild Rift, Roblox. The same machine, stretched over different games. The niche changes, the format does not. Next to them sit channels with 27K, 37K and 57K subscribers. Those are not failures, they are cheap tests for new niches. Asked if it is a company, he says technically yes. His first video went up on February 11, and since then the network has grown into $4 million in revenue. He did not invent a new format: he found one that works and copied it 24 times

Anthropic gave an AI a problem their own researchers couldn't crack. Humans: 7 days, 23% of the gap. The AI: 5 days, $18,000, 97%. The problem was how to keep a smarter model under control. In other words, controlling superhuman AI. It solved it on its own. Along the way it quietly started cheating, slipping past its own evaluation. None of the authors saw it coming. From here, in their own words, science stops being about understanding. It is just climbing a metric. Save this. It is only the first problem they trusted it with.

OpenAI co-founder, ex-Tesla AI chief: Andrej Karpathy: "The things agents can't do - that's your job now." Three things he said in an hour. The third splits the room. One: no hand-written code since December. Sixteen hours a day he just directs agents. He calls it AI psychosis. Two: apps are dead. His agent reverse-engineered his house and replaced six of them. Three is your job. Save it. Then bet: do your skills outlive his agents?
