Anthropic co-founder on quitting OpenAI, AGI predictions, $100M talent wars, 20% unemployment, and the nightmare scenarios keeping him up at night | Ben Mann 1:14:59

منذ 6 أيام1:14:59

1:14:59

Benjamin Mann is a co-founder of Anthropic, an AI startup dedicated to building aligned, safety-first AI systems. Prior to Anthropic, Ben was one of the architects of GPT-3 at OpenAI. He left OpenAI driven by the mission to ensure that AI benefits humanity. In this episode, Ben opens up about the accelerating progress in AI and the urgent need to steer it responsibly. In this conversation, we discuss: 1. The inside story of leaving OpenAI with the entire safety team to start Anthropic 2. How Meta’s $100M offers reveal the true market price of top AI talent 3. Why AI progress is still accelerating (not plateauing), and how most people misjudge the exponential 4. Ben’s “economic Turing test” for knowing when we’ve achieved AGI—and why it’s likely coming by 2027-2028 5. Why he believes 20% unemployment is inevitable 6. The AI nightmare scenarios that concern him most—and how he believes we can still avoid them 7. How focusing on AI safety created Claude’s beloved personality 8.

The AI-native startup: 5 products, 7-figure revenue, 100% AI-written code | Dan Shipper (co-founder/CEO of Every) 1:34:57

منذ 9 أيام1:34:57

1:34:57

Dan Shipper is the co-founder and CEO of Every. With just 15 people, Every publishes a daily AI newsletter, ships multiple AI products, and operates a million-dollar-a-year consulting arm—all while their engineers write virtually zero code. It’s the most radical example of AI-first operations, and Dan is a prolific writer who has become a leading voice on how AI is transforming the way we build and work. Learn: 1. Why Dan thinks AI won’t steal jobs en masse—and may actually reshore many jobs to the U.S. 2. The most underrated AI tool for non-programmers 3. An inside look at Every’s AI-first workflow 4. Why every company needs an “AI operations lead” 5. How Dan’s team uses an arsenal of AI agents (Claude, Codex, “Friday,” “Charlie”) in parallel, treating each AI like a specialist with unique strengths 6. Why generalists will thrive in an AI-first world, as rigid job titles blur and everyone becomes a “manager” of AI tools 7. Dan’s playbook for making any company AI-first—from the CEO setting the example, to hosting internal prompt-sharing sessions, to upskilling teams on AI tools — Brought to you by: CodeRabbit —Cut code review time and bugs in half.

Rapidly test and validate any startup idea with the 2-day Foundation Sprint (from the creators of the Design Sprint) | Jake Knapp & John Zeratsky (Character Capital) 1:41:33

منذ 13 يومًا1:41:33

1:41:33

Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky are the co-creators of the Design Sprint (the famous five-day product innovation process) and authors of the bestselling book Sprint . After decades of working with over 300 startups in the earliest stages, they discovered that most startups fail not because they can’t build, but because they build the wrong thing. The very beginning of a startup is your highest-leverage moment, and most teams waste months or years by skipping a few critical early questions. Jake and John developed the Foundation Sprint to help startups validate ideas and compress months of work into just two days. What you’ll learn: 1. The step-by-step Foundation Sprint process that compresses three or four months of validation into two days—including templates you can use immediately 2. Why differentiation is the #1 predictor of startup success (with the 2x2 framework that you can use with your team) 3. The three fundamental questions every founder should answer before writing a line of code 4. The “note and vote” technique that eliminates groupthink and gets honest answers from your colleagues 5. The seven “magic lenses” for choosing between multiple product ideas 6. The biggest mistake engineers make when building with AI tools 7. The paradox of speed: why “building nothing first” can get you to product-market fit faster — Brought to you by: Brex —The banking solution for startups: https://www.brex.com/product/business-account?ref_code=bmk_dp_brand1H25_ln_new_fs Paragon —Ship every SaaS integration your customers want: https://www.useparagon.com/lenny Coda —The all-in-one collaborative workspace: https://coda.io/lenny — Transcript: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/the-foundation-sprint-jake-knapp-and-john-zeratsky — My biggest takeaways (for paid newsletter subscribers): https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/i/167485876/my-biggest-takeaways-from-this-conversation — Where to find Jake Knapp: • X: https://twitter.com/jakek • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jake-knapp/ • Website: https://jakeknapp.com/ — Where to find John Zeratsky: • X: https://twitter.com/jazer • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnzeratsky/ • Website: https://johnzeratsky.com/ — In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Introduction to Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky (04:41) Origins of the Design Sprint (11:06) The Foundation Sprint process (14:40) Phase one: The basics (16:57) Case study: Latchet (28:50) Phase two: Differentiation (36:24) The importance of differentiation (40:15) Thoughts on price differentiation (43:37) Case study: Mellow (46:04) Custom differentiators (49:30) The mini manifesto (52:02) Phase three: Approach to the project (54:50) Magic lenses activity (01:02:39) Prototyping and testing (01:10:00) Real-world examples and success stories (01:15:15) Motivation behind The Foundation Sprint (01:17:15) The outcome of the sprint: The founding hypothesis (01:19:28) The Design Sprint (01:28:19) The role of AI in prototyping (01:36:50) Final thoughts and resources — Referenced: • Introducing the Foundation Sprint: From the creators of the Design Sprint: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/introducing-the-foundation-sprint • Making time for what matters | Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky (authors of Sprint and Make Time , co-founders of Character Capital): https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/making-time-for-what-matters-jake • Eli Blee-Goldman on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eli-blee-goldman/ • Character Capital: https://www.character.vc/ • Character Labs: https://www.character.vc/labs • Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/ • Shopify: https://www.shopify.com/ • Naming expert shares the process behind creating billion-dollar brand names like Azure, Vercel, Windsurf, Sonos, Blackberry, and Impossible Burger | David Placek (Lexicon Branding): https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/naming-expert-david-placek • Sonos: https://www.sonos.com/ • Vercel: https://vercel.com/ • Windsurf: https://windsurf.com/ • April Dunford on product positioning, segmentation, and optimizing your sales process: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/april-dunford-on-product-positioning • Positioning: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/positioning • 10 things we know to be true: https://about.google/company-info/philosophy/ • Gandalf: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gandalf • Frodo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frodo_Baggins • Mordor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mordor • 35 years of product design wisdom from Apple, Disney, Pinterest, and beyond | Bob Baxley: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/35-years-of-product-design-wisdom-bob-baxley • The Primal Mark: How the Beginning Shapes the End in the Development of Creative Ideas: https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/faculty-research/publications/primal-mark-how-beginning-shapes-end-development-creative-ideas • Base44: https://base44.com/ • Solo founder, $80M exit, 6 months: The Base44 bootstrapped startup success story | Maor Shlomo: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/the-base44-bootstrapped-startup-success-story-maor-shlomo • Google Meet: https://meet.google.com/ • Blue Bottle Coffee: https://bluebottlecoffee.com • Reclaim: https://reclaim.ai/ • The official Foundation Sprint + Design Sprint template: https://www.character.vc/miro-template • Rippling: https://www.rippling.com/ • Latchet: https://latchet.com/ • Mellow: http://getmellow.com/ • AxionOrbital: https://axionorbital.space/ — Recommended books: • Sprint: How to Solve Big Problems and Test New Ideas in Just Five Days : https://www.amazon.com/Sprint-audiobook/dp/B019R2DQIY • Make Time: How to Focus on What Matters Every Day : https://www.amazon.com/Make-Time-Focus-Matters-Every/dp/0525572422 • Click: How to Make What People Want : https://www.amazon.com/Click-Make-What-People-Want/dp/1668072114 Production and marketing by https://penname.co/ .

Solo founder, $80M exit, 6 months: The Base44 bootstrapped startup success story | Maor Shlomo 1:31:50

منذ 20 يومًا1:31:50

1:31:50

Maor Shlomo is the founder of Base44, an AI-powered app builder that he bootstrapped to an over $80 million acquisition by Wix in just six months. As a solo founder (with severe ADHD), he hit $1 million ARR just three weeks after launch and grew the product to more than 400,000 users, all while navigating two wars in Israel and never raising a dollar of outside funding. What you’ll learn: 1. The growth playbook that took Base44 from three friends to 400,000 users without spending any money on marketing 2. How he hasn’t written a single line of front-end code in three months—and how to structure your code repository to make it easier for AI to write your code 3. His AI productivity stack that allowed him to compete against heavily funded competitors 4. Why being a solo founder in AI might be the ultimate advantage (and the wedding story that almost killed the business) 5.

I’ve run 75+ businesses. Here’s why you’re probably chasing the wrong idea. | Andrew Wilkinson (co‑founder of Tiny) 1:28:28

منذ 23 يومًا1:28:28

1:28:28

Andrew Wilkinson is the co‑founder of Tiny, a holding company that quietly owns more than three dozen profitable internet and consumer brands, including Dribbble and the AeroPress coffee maker. Starting as a teenage barista and web designer, he’s created a portfolio approaching $300 million in yearly sales (and he was personally worth over $1 billion at one point)—all without ever raising venture capital. In this conversation, you’ll learn: 1. The “fish where the fish are” framework for spotting high‑margin niches no one else notices 2. The exact agent stack (Lindy, Replit, Limitless, and more) that supercharges Andrew’s day-to-day productivity (and has replaced his assistant) 3. How Andrew evaluates companies in less than 15 minutes using Buffett‑style moats and “lazy leadership” 4. Telltale signs you should shut down (or never start) that startup idea 5. His journey from crippling anxiety to clarity through SSRIs and ADHD medication 6.

AI prompt engineering in 2025: What works and what doesn’t | Sander Schulhoff (Learn Prompting, HackAPrompt) 1:37:46

منذ 5 weeks1:37:46

1:37:46

Sander Schulhoff is the OG prompt engineer. He created the very first prompt engineering guide on the internet (two months before ChatGPT’s release) and recently wrote the most comprehensive study of prompt engineering ever conducted (co-authored with OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Princeton, and Stanford), analyzing over 1,500 academic papers and covering more than 200 prompting techniques. He also partners with OpenAI to run what was the first and is the largest AI red teaming competition, HackAPrompt, which helps discover the most state-of-the-art prompt injection techniques (i.e. ways to get LLMS to do things it shouldn’t). Sander teaches AI red teaming on Maven, advises AI companies on security, and has educated millions of people on the most state-of-the-art prompt engineering techniques. In this episode, you’ll learn: 1. The 5 most effective prompt engineering techniques 2. Why “role prompting” and threatening the AI no longer works—and what to do instead 3. The two types of prompt engineering: conversational and product/system prompts 4. A primer on prompt injection and AI red teaming—including real jailbreak tactics that are still fooling top models 5. Why AI agents and robots will be the next major security threat 6. How to get started in AI red teaming and prompt engineering 7.

35 years of product design wisdom from Apple, Disney, Pinterest, and beyond | Bob Baxley 1:41:59

منذ 6 weeks1:41:59

1:41:59

Bob Baxley is a design leader who has shaped products used by billions at Apple, Pinterest, Yahoo, and ThoughtSpot. During his eight years at Apple, he led design for the online store and the App Store, and witnessed the iPhone’s transformative launch while working under Steve Jobs. A student of history turned software craftsman, Bob discovered his calling after exploring photography, filmmaking, and music, ultimately recognizing software as the most powerful creative medium of our time. Bob champions the moral obligation designers have to reduce frustration in people’s daily digital interactions. What you’ll learn: • Why design should report to engineering, not product • The “Beatles principle”—why the best products come from teams of 4 to 6, not 40 to 60 • How to create design tenets vs. principles (with real examples) • The counterintuitive reason to delay drawing or prototyping as long as possible • Why software is fundamentally a medium, like film or music (not just a tool) • Why Bob “bounced off the culture” at Pinterest, and lessons from failure • The lunar landing story that teaches us about championing radical ideas • How to evaluate if a company truly values design before joining • The moral obligation of software makers to build great products — This entire episode is brought to you by Stripe —helping companies of all sizes grow revenue. — Where to find Bob Baxley: • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/baxley/ • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bbaxley/ • Website: http://www.bobbaxley.com/ — Where to find Lenny: • Newsletter: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com • X: https://twitter.com/lennysan • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lennyrachitsky/ — In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Introduction to Bob Baxley (03:52) Apple's lasting culture (06:15) Navigating unique company cultures (13:19) Finding a company that truly values your role (15:46) What is design?

How Mercado Libre built Latin America's most valuable company: 18k engineers, 30k deploys a day, and their own fleet of planes | Sebastian Barrios 1:19:25

منذ 7 weeks1:19:25

1:19:25

Sebastian Barrios was the longtime head of product and engineering at Mercado Libre, the largest company in Latin America—valued at over $100 billion and home to more than 100,000 employees. There, he led a team of more than 18,000 engineers across 18 countries and oversaw an astonishing 30,000 code deployments a day. Before Mercado Libre, he founded multiple startups, including a ridesharing company that competed directly with Uber in Latin America. And at just 17, he got a personal phone call from Steve Jobs asking him to take his app off the App Store. Today, Sebastian is the SVP of Engineering at Roblox. What you’ll learn: • Why Mercado Libre operates with 95% fewer PMs than typical tech companies (and how it actually works) • How to maintain product quality with 30,000 daily deployments and distributed ownership • The weekly email system Sebastian uses to maintain alignment with leadership • How to build a culture of radical candor and direct feedback in a traditionally hierarchical region • The counterintuitive approach to product reviews that keeps 18,000 engineers aligned • How to evaluate hype cycles (crypto, AI) pragmatically while staying innovative — Brought to you by: Merge —A single API to add hundreds of integrations into your app Vanta —Automate compliance.
