Summary

Clara Gig points to three AI videos worth watching instead of doom scrolling: Jensen Huang at YC on systems thinking, Yann LeCun's anti-LLM pitch for his JEPA architecture, and Boris Cherny from Anthropic on regularly wiping your Claude configs. Each offers a different angle on how to think about AI and build with it.

Core ideas

One context card plus 6 ideas

Systems thinking from Jensen Huang: Every system, whether software, biology, or a business, has an input, a constraint, and flows you can map. Mastering that lets you abstract and solve complex problems.
Yann LeCun's contrarian bet: He rejects the Silicon Valley LLM hype wholesale and backs JEPA, Joint Embedded Predictive Architecture, as the thing that replaces large language models.
JEPA explained loosely: The idea is framed as intellectually demanding, something for people who enjoy twisting their brain around hard concepts.
Boris Cherny's maintenance habit: He tells people to delete their Claude MD file, skills, and plugins on a regular basis rather than letting them pile up.
A built thing gets questioned: Someone advised deleting everything already built, a reminder that constant rebuilding or pruning is part of working with these tools.
Framing as an alternative to passive scrolling: The whole recommendation is pitched as a better use of screen time than Netflix or doom scrolling, positioned as actual learning.
