Everything else builds on this. 3. Check in at the bottom of each lesson. Polls, discussion posts, other members working through the same stuff. Use them. 4. When you're ready to build real things join in on our Biweekly competitions and win some real cash. โญ Competitions Mega Thread 5. If you are wanting to dive into the masterminds, grab all the past templates, artifacts and resources. Upgrade and head into the The Vault for Premium and The Drawing Room (VIP) for VIP 6.

๐Ÿšจ New one in the NLP Logix series is live ๐Ÿšจ
Sat down with Katie Bakewell, a data scientist who's been building this since 2011, back when it was still just called "natural language processing" ๐Ÿงฎ She came up through math (DNA computing, time series on commodities) and thinks about problems like proofs, not recipes. What we get into: ๐Ÿชจ The Indiana Jones "build me a chatbot" boulder she ran from in 2023 ๐Ÿšจ The 7 neural nets that "found" a signal that was completely fake ๐ŸŽ๏ธ A $5M Pagani vs a $100 Toyota, and why "best" is a trap ๐Ÿค– The first chatbot was built in 1966 (ELIZA)... these aren't new ideas ๐Ÿฌ Meta's SAM3 turning hours of labeling dolphin fins into a single prompt ๐Ÿง  Why half the companies asking for AI are solving the wrong problem โ–ถ๏ธ Go watch ๐Ÿ’ฌ Then drop a comment: What surprised you most, or what would you have asked her? Happy learning ๐Ÿ™Œ

๐Ÿค NEW: The Connection Hub is live
๐Ÿ‘‹ Welcome to the Connection Hub - The Vault ยท Clief Notes So I was on the onboarding call this today, and one thing kept coming up that I couldn't stop thinking about: The biggest value of this new age isn't just the tools. It's the people. ๐Ÿ‘ฅ Specifically โ€” people who understand AI the way THIS community teaches it. Not "prompt hacks" and not "10x your output" nonsense, but actually building systems, thinking in workflows, and treating AI like a real part of how you work. That's a rare group. And a lot of you told me the same thing: ๐Ÿ’ฌ "I'd love to work with someone who gets this." ๐Ÿ’ฌ "I want to break into [industry] but don't know anyone in it." ๐Ÿ’ฌ "Who else here does what I do?" So instead of letting those connections happen by accident... I built a place for them. ๐Ÿ‘‡ ๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‹ Welcome to the Connection Hub - The Vault ยท Clief Notes It's a simple set of pages, split by industry. You find your corner, drop a quick intro about what you actually do and what you're looking for, and connect with people who speak your language.
Fable 5 got extended to July 19!
I don't even know what sort of a marketing strategy this is. Anyways, enjoy it while it lasts ig!
Fable 5 got extended to July 19!
When an agent's action can't be undone, where do you put the human โ€” in the loop, or on the gate?
Most of my agent work is reversible: it writes a file, I read it, I fix it. The runs that keep me up are the irreversible ones โ€” the send, the publish, the payment, the delete. Once it fires, there's no diff to review. The pattern I've settled into is draft-for-approval: the agent does everything up to the irreversible step, stops, and hands me an exact preview of what it's about to do. I approve the specific action, not the general behavior. It's the Cynefin split in practice โ€” reversible work runs unattended, irreversible work puts a human on the gate. But "human on the gate" has a failure mode: approval fatigue. Approve enough previews and you start rubber-stamping, and a rubber-stamp is just a slower auto-approve. So two questions I'm chewing on: how do you decide which actions are irreversible enough to gate vs. reversible enough to let run โ€” a fixed list, or something the workflow classifies? And how do you keep the gate meaningful instead of a reflex click โ€” batching, a forced diff, a cooling-off step? Curious how others draw the line and keep the checkpoint honest.
