From a brand new community to top 100 in under 10 Days and this is all possible because of you It just goes to show when you get like minded people, bring in value like no one else and actually TALK to your community instead of automating it you can grow and build anything, If this is what we can do in a week lets see what we can do in a year together! Thank you so much everyone

This repo allows claude code to directly use notebooklm! I just got it set up. It works best with chrome browser. I set it up by giving the link to claude code itself. It created a script to open the browser. I then logged in. Then it created a script to copy all the cookies it needed and boom! Now you can push source content, create scripts, etc. All from inside claude code! Im using it to create a mini series explaining the concepts of the patents i filed. Ill use it for pitches and pitch decks as well. Enjoy! https://github.com/teng-lin/notebooklm-py

Most of what I share here and on Instagram is practical. Folder systems, workflows, how to build things that work. That's the mission of the Skool side of Clief Notes and it always will be. But I also write about the bigger picture. Where AI is actually heading, what it means for governance, for knowledge, for who gets to say what counts as credible. I've been working on a treatise called Rise of the Virtual Vanguard for the last three years and I'm serializing it on my Substack alongside essays on consciousness, academic gatekeeping, computational orchestration, and the economics of expertise. This is the opinionated stuff. The long-form thinking that sits underneath everything I teach here. If that interests you, the first installment is live. https://jakevanclief.substack.com/p/before-the-singularity No paywall on this of course. Read it, disagree with it, tell me where I'm wrong. The best ideas get sharper in conversation.

You may have noticed that my comments and DMS have slowed down a lot. Don't worry, I'm going to be getting back to all of you, but this is what we've been building and it will be launching this weekend. So please stay tuned

***A note before you read: this post talks about losing a parent to drug overdose, addiction, and some of the harder parts of growing up through that. If any of this hits close to home, take care of yourself first.*** This is personal, not ai related but feel its important to share. Both @Matthew Creamer and I lost our fathers to drug overdoses. I don't say that for sympathy. I say it because it's the kind of thing that rewires your entire life and I think some of you need to hear that the people building this thing with you know what it feels like to start from somewhere broken. My dad was a good man. I need you to know that before anything else. He was loving, he was present, he was the kind of father who wanted his son to never have to grind through the kind of work he did. He spent his life in construction, the kind that wears your body down year after year, and he always told me he wanted something different for me. He wanted to retire the whole family one day. He wanted to leave a mark on the world and he wanted me to do the same. He just had his demons, and one night when I was 15 they took him from me. A month after my birthday so I was still basically 14 years old and I found him on the couch and that was it. Everything after that moment I had to figure out on my own. I learned how to trim my beard without him standing behind me in the mirror. I learned how to haggle with taxi drivers in countries he never got to see. I broke my heart for the first time and had nobody to call who could tell me what that kind of pain actually means when you're young and don't know who you are yet. I fell into addiction myself somehow escaped after a lot of battles. I joined the Marine Corps and that brought its own tragedies, its own weight. I climbed the tallest mountain in Europe. I walked across the grand sands of the Middle East. I have tasted war and peace, depression and anger, and so much more that I am still learning how to carry.
