Hi, I'm Felix. I'm an eng lead working on Claude. I love watching people take flight and do things they never thought possible.
We often describe that as "being more ambitious" when using AI, which is tricky advice to follow. I wrote a tutorial:

More than ever, the most important thing (as it always has been) is to create something people want and can’t build themselves.
Every time claude creates a PR for a feature or bug fix, it feels like a mix between cheating and discovering wealth.
What @thsottiaux should've said to dot 5 minutes before the demo.
This is like the third time in like 2 weeks I've thought we're living in the greatest of times to be a builder.
No one knew what “consumer in AI” meant until muse.
Meta will continue to be successful because they understand that a winning consumer AI strategy is “hey you can use AI to negotiate a good deal on a Peloton through Marketplace and btw we made a silly little AI character with a fluffy butt that you can look at on your new Meta Tamagotchi”
not “run our open weight model 6.7.1 on this new Chinese orchestration architecture oh and btw it might take your job and kill you good luck”
Quite insane the value @finkd got out of their scale ai acquisition.
Is it possible that someone with just a $200 subscription and asking the right questions discovers new, very important breakthroughs?
Or is this mostly reserved for those with massive amounts of spend/compute?
Claude has discovered a previously unknown enzyme system hidden in the DNA of bacteriophages. Beside the enzyme’s gene sits a long array of repeating DNA—a structure that looks somewhat similar to CRISPR.
We don’t yet understand what this system does, but only a handful of known systems share its features, and all of them are able to cut, copy, and paste DNA. Historically, the discovery of such programmable systems has helped revolutionize medicine. CRISPR, for instance, is now the foundation of genetic medicines. But it will take much more work to learn what this system does, and whether it can be put to similar use.

Something most people overlook from the advice you hear from podcasts like @davidsenra is that the advice looks simple to follow at face value, but it’s very hard to get right in practice.
