From the creator

Andrej Karpathy's napkin math splits the world into an AI capability funnel: about 6 billion people who've barely touched AI, a billion or two using free chatbots, around 20 million using frontier agents like Claude Code and Codex, and roughly 5,000 insiders inside the labs. In this video I break down his funnel, the three reasons it exists, and my own takeaway: most of us, me included, aren't nearly ambitious enough with these models. Plus a practical way to push a model much harder than you have been.

Makers residency 4th edition

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. An asset manager went on to raise an additional £25M on their fund within nine months. The fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
