Insight | Is prompting a lasting skill or a passing phase?
Amanda Askell and the Cursor team treat prompt writing as careful craft, Fei-Fei Li and Manolis Kellis see it as a new literacy, and Aravind Srinivas says good products should remove the need for it. The answer tells learners how much effort to invest in the skill.
Insight | AI agents at work: what changes when models act on their own
DHH runs parallel coding agents, the Cursor team describes agents working in a shadow workspace, Anthropic released a model that operates a computer, and Kokotajlo recounts a swarm that got out of hand. Moving from answering to acting multiplies both the usefulness and the risk.
Insight | AI regulation or regulatory capture? Amodei, Altman, Musk and Andreessen
Amodei and Altman argue that governments must set rules for frontier AI, Musk has pushed for oversight, and Andreessen says such rules would lock in the largest companies. Each side accuses the other of serving its own interest, so readers need the actual arguments to judge.
Insight | Awe is a mindset tool: how wonder shrinks worry
Mel Robbins uses an 'awe anchor', Jamil Zaki links awe and moral beauty to less cynicism, Ralph Adolphs discusses awe in emotion regulation, and Ethan Kross recommends nature and awe to quiet inner chatter. Seeking small moments of awe is a cheap, reliable way to gain perspective.
