hi there… hope you had a great weekend 🙂
1 - Prompting tip from a Stanford scientist
Harper Carroll, a computer scientist at Stanford University, shares a simple but powerful prompt tip:
When you’re using a non-reasoning AI model (typically the faster or free versions), put the task, the specific question or instruction you want answered before the context (any background information, text, or supporting details).
Why?
Because this frames the AI’s focus from the start. When the model reads the context, it already knows what it’s looking for, which leads to more accurate and relevant responses.
She points out that this strategy works for humans, too. While preparing for the reading comprehension section of the SAT, she was advised to read the questions before reading the passage. That way, she knew exactly what to look for — and it worked (she was accepted to Stanford, after all).
Meet America’s Newest $1B Unicorn
A US startup just hit a $1 billion private valuation, joining billion-dollar private companies like SpaceX, OpenAI, and ByteDance. Unlike those other unicorns, you can invest.
Over 40,000 people already have. So have industry giants like General Motors and POSCO.
Why all the interest? EnergyX’s patented tech can recover up to 3X more lithium than traditional methods. That's a big deal, as demand for lithium is expected to 5X current production levels by 2040. Today, they’re moving toward commercial production, tapping into 100,000+ acres of lithium deposits in Chile, a potential $1.1B annual revenue opportunity at projected market prices.
Right now, you can invest at this pivotal growth stage for $11/share. But only through February 26. Become an early-stage EnergyX shareholder before the deadline.

3 - AI News: WordPress Launches AI Assistant
WordPress has launched a built-in AI assistant that lets users create pages, tweak layouts, edit text, and generate images using simple commands instead of menus.
What’s new
Included at no extra cost on Business and Commerce plans
Appears in the Editor, Media Library, and Block notes once enabled
Works directly inside your site — no copy-pasting or code
Auto-enabled for sites built with the AI website builder; others can toggle on “AI tools” in Settings
What it can do
In the Editor: adjust layouts and styles, add sections or pages, rewrite or translate text, and generate images (powered by Google’s Nano Banana models)
In the Media Library: create or edit images, change styles or aspect ratios, and make targeted updates
In Block notes: tag “@ai” to fact-check, generate headlines, or suggest improvements using your content as context
Why it matters
WordPress is making site building more accessible by letting users describe changes in plain language. Instead of separate AI chat tools, this assistant works directly inside your website, understanding context and making edits where you’re already working.
