November 01, 2026   |   Read online   Hey, Jhon! Welcome back to the #1 AI newsletter in the world! Here’s what we have today: Karpathy rebuilt YouTube in two hours. A hidden comics button shows up in Gemini. AI models have favorite “random” numbers. The first Al-designed phages reach a patient.       Video Feeds Karpathy Rebuilt YouTube With Claude Source: Andrej Karpathy Some nights YouTube’s home page feels like it was picked for somebody else entirely. Andrej Karpathy had one of those nights on a Friday. He figured the feed was made for the typical viewer and not for someone like him. The next morning he built his own YouTube. He went looking on Hacker News. People there’ve been pointing each other to good videos for almost two decades. Karpathy asked Claude to dig through all of it. Claude pulled down every comment on the site and threw out the spam until only the video recommendations were left. About two hours later he had a working site with thousands of videos on it. He called it HackerTube. The videos cover around 150 topics, and each one got there because a real person said it was worth watching. You don't need an account to browse it either. He even picked how the thumbnails look. Each one is a frame from halfway through the video. That way you see what’s inside before you click. Then he shared the data so you can have AI build a version of your own. The next day someone did something similar with books. HackerBooks pulls together all the books Hacker News keeps recommending. Our take: If you’re in a group chat or a forum where people swap links all the time, an AI could sort years of those links into one page the same way for you. It’s a fun first project to hand an AI, since the data already exists and only needs sorting.       Together with Lindy Your To-Do List Has a Phone Call on It There’s always one phone call sitting on your to-do list. Maybe it’s moving a dentist appointment or booking a table for Friday night, and it keeps sliding to tomorrow because nobody enjoys making it. Lindy is an AI assistant with its own phone number that makes those calls for you. It sits in your messages like any other contact. You text it what you need and it picks up the phone from there. Their own example is a dental cleaning that needs a new date. Lindy calls the office and gets it moved while you carry on with your day. It does the same when you want a table booked or need someone chased down for a quote. And it only acts on what you’ve given it permission to do.       Leaks A Hidden Comics Button Shows Up in Gemini Source: TestingCatalog Somebody poking around Gemini Notebook found a button they weren’t meant to see yet. It sits next to the other things Notebook can make from your files, and it’s called Comics. There’s a small Beta label on it. Gemini Notebook can already turn your own notes or docs into slides and videos. The Comics tile looks like it’d turn those same files into an illustrated story. You’d get four styles to pick from. There’s Default and Fantasy Anime, plus Shojo (the softer, romance-heavy look from Japanese comics) and Chibi (tiny characters with big heads). You’d also pick the language and choose whether the pages run wide or tall. Nobody outside Google can use it yet. The leak site that posted the screenshot says the Beta label doesn’t mean it’s coming soon either, and Google hasn’t said a word about it. It’s also unclear whether a comic would run past one page or keep the same characters from panel to panel. Our take: Gemini Notebook already works from your own files. Comics would be one more way to get them back. If it ships, a textbook chapter or a long manual you keep putting off could come back as panels you’d happily read on the couch.       Coming in Hot AI Tools of the Day 🎙️ VoiceType AI lets you hold one key and talk in any app, and it cleans up your words and shifts the tone to fit, even when you’re whispering. ⚖️ ChatPlayground AI puts 30+ models including ChatGPT and Claude under one subscription, so you stop paying for each chatbot on its own. 🕯️ Ember lets you talk through something you keep coming back to, then shows you how it went for real people who stood in the same spot, free while in beta. 📋 notes.asm puts a team of AI agents on a kanban board to ship code and handle outreach on your own Claude subscription, and anything sensitive waits for your OK. 🤖 PawWork is a free, open-source desktop agent for Mac and Windows that works through the documents and spreadsheets on your computer, with free models built in so you don't need an API key.       By TAAFT We Just Read A Sleeping Person’s Dream A volunteer drifts off wearing a cap full of sensors, and a sound plays softly in the room. Their brain reaches for the memory tied to that sound. An AI reading the cap picks out which memory it was. Before bed, each volunteer learned 15 picture-and-sound pairs, like a sheep with its “baa” or an alarm clock with its ring. On people it’d never seen before, the AI named the right one about one time in four. At the best moment in the brain’s slow waves, it did six times better than guessing. It found that best moment by itself, and it lines up with when scientists think the brain replays memories. For 13 years the only way to reach a dream was to wake the dreamer and ask. The lab behind this one even put its AI online for anyone to download. We dug into how it works and where it could go next in our latest video.       Notable AIs Notable AI Tools 🎬 Clueso is an AI agent that turns a screen recording, slide deck, doc or just an idea into a polished, on-brand video in minutes.       Quirks Your Brain and AI Avoid the Same Numbers Source: arXiv Quick, pick a random number between 1 and 100. Odds are it wasn’t 1 or 100. We tend to skip right past the ends of a range without even thinking about it. Well, AI models do the exact same thing. Somebody finally checked how random an AI’s “random” number is. Instead of asking a model over and over and counting what came back, the study looked straight at the odds it gave every number. Think of it as checking whether the dice are loaded before you roll them. It covered 18 families of open AI models, and each came in two versions. There’s the raw model, and there’s the chat version that gets extra training so it follows what you ask and talks like an assistant. The chat version came out more predictable every single time. It almost never says 1 or 100. It stays away from round numbers like 20 or 50 as well, and once you go up to 100 it has a soft spot for odd numbers. Skipping the ends and leaning odd is pretty much how people pick. The round-number thing seems to be all the AI’s own. The study stuck to open models (ChatGPT and the other big chatbots weren’t part of it). Still, it only takes ten seconds to see what yours does. Our take: None of this matters when you’re picking a number for fun. When it has to be fair, like drawing a raffle winner, ask your AI to run a real random number generator in code so its habits stay out of it.       Medicine AI-Designed Phages Reach Their 1st Patient Source: Radical Numerics There’s a certain kind of virus that goes after bacteria and leaves people alone. It’s called a phage. As more infections shrug off antibiotics, doctors have been turning to phages to help. Now for the first time, phages designed by AI have been given to a real patient. Finding the right phage has always been the hard part. It has to latch onto the exact bacteria making someone sick. That has meant hunting through samples until something matched. Here the AI skips the hunt. It rewrites the part of the phage that decides which bacteria it can grab onto. The patient had an infection that wasn't responding to antibiotics. Bacteria taken from that patient went into a dish first, and the AI-designed mix wiped them out. After that, doctors gave it to the patient under compassionate use. That’s the path that lets someone with few options left try a treatment that isn’t approved yet. How the patient is doing hasn’t been shared. One person can’t prove a treatment is safe or that it works, and this one isn’t approved for anyone else. The search is now on for hospitals and phage therapy centers to take on the next cases. Our take: Keep an eye out for the follow-up. The lab result is the easy part to share. How that one patient did, and whether the next few get the same results, is what will tell everyone if designing a phage for each person can work outside a lab dish.       Prompt of the Day Run a Credit Check on Me Important Note: You’ll need to click the button to get the complete prompt. View and copy today’s full prompt This prompt turns a credit analyst loose on your word instead of your wallet. It pulls a report on the promises you’ve made to other people and to yourself, scores you from 300 to 850, and lists every derogatory mark in the flat voice of a bureau letter. You leave with your score, the three moves that raise it fastest, and one overdue promise paid off before the session ends.       That’s all for Sunday! Before you go, text Lindy that one phone call you keep pushing to tomorrow. Tell it who to call and what you need, and let it handle the rest while you get on with your day. How did we do today?
