The bitter lesson in 26 words:
Don’t be distracted by human knowledge, as AI has been historically.
Instead focus on methods for creating knowledge that scale with computation, like search and learning.

Copy pasting between Claude and Codex is the 2026 equivalent of copying pasting from Stack Overflow

I think literally the opposite will be true. Academic journals that impose stringent restrictions on AI use will simply stop attracting the best papers.
The pursuit of truth and knowledge is not a sport.

How good are the interviews? Trained sociologists rated AI-led interviews at 2.93/5—about the level of an average human expert under the same online text-chat constraints. AI is a complement to, not a substitute for, in-person interviews.

Science is not some hobby that serves the self actualization of people in a publicly sponsored job placement program. It is the systematic search for truth.

The meetings are rarely the real bottleneck. It's that nobody owns the decision, so every document becomes a way to avoid making it. In B2B integration work the fastest projects I've seen had one person who could say yes and a working prototype in the first week.

Now is a good time to change passwords that you've reused or that have appeared in data breaches, get a password manager, turn on 2FA with an authenticator app, and turn on automatic updates. This weekend. Carve out some time and do it today.

It's actually insane that there are papers coming out about AI capabilities evaluations using two-year-old models.
We have to reduce the length of time to get studies published or academic publishing will have to become completely irrelevant for AI.

It would be fun to figure out when “too many books” post-Gutenberg turned into “not enough books!”

Every eval that is sufficiently diverse but still unsaturated by current frontier models is suspicious. People aren't looking at the transcripts nearly enough. tbench is commendable for how open & accessible their data is, so everyone can contribute to improving it.

LLMs can seamlessly navigate any kind of language. You can say in Chinese whatever you can say in English. Your code skills are no longer constrained by your knowledge of C++. Your math skills are unbound from your knowledge of mathematical notation and definitions

Tips for new teachers:
1. Go at 1/3 the pace you naturally want to.
2. Repetition repetition repetition.
3. When you ask for questions, allow an uncomfortable silence to give them time to respond.
4. Ask them many questions to see what they already understand.

What used to pass as a 'good' academic book review can nowadays be done much better by AI. There's no need to employ a junior academic to say something nice about an elder, just to prove their own competence. Whatever age, you should review a book only to challenge it.

I think people believe that OpenAI and Anthropic, since they are so good at AI, are also somehow not normal companies that suffer from the normal problems of hypergrowth, but they are not immune from the inevitable politics, disfunction and confusion that haunt fast-growing firms

If you are into AI (you should be) and PhD students, join us for the Summer School in Prague!

I asked Opus and Suno to turn my article on the "China shock" narrative into a song. It's a brave new world.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again:
If someone claims to be an AI expert but spends their time typing prompts into their computer, they aren’t an ai expert
They are behind
Cutting edge AI use has been hands off for about a year now and it gets easier every week

Anyone still using an IDE now to write code by hand is doing it to be contrarian.
You sound like @Steve_Yegge .
Almost exactly 12 months ago he got up at @aiDotEngineer in front of of everyone and said if your still using an IDE in 2026 your a bad engineer. Granted he’s a contrarian and funny dude but I though that was nuts at the time. Crazy how things change @swyx
