Welcome to Clief Notes. Here's where to start.
1. Watch the intro video and introduce yourself in the intro post here 2. Start with The Foundation (free course). Concepts, folder architecture, prompting framework. Everything else builds on this. 3. Check in at the bottom of each lesson. Polls, discussion posts, other members working through the same stuff. Use them. 4. When you're ready to build real things, move to Implementation Playbooks (Level 2). When you're ready to build your own tools, Building Your Stack (Level 3). 5. Post your work. Ask questions. Help others when you can. What are you here to build?

🚨 You've been asking when the Lyceum opens. The waitlist is live. 🚨
The waitlist is up and seats are limited, so this is your nudge to go lock yours in. 👇 New here? Quick context. 👀 The Lyceum is Jake's live cohort program built on ICM, the methodology 35,000 people in this community are already using to get real results with AI. The short version: folders over agents. You learn the layer underneath the tools, the one that keeps working when the next model drops. Full breakdown is on the site. Here's what's inside: 🎯 Three cohorts, Technical, Business, and Creator. Same methodology, built around what you actually do. 🎥 Live sessions with Jake and a full team of instructors. ♾️ Lifetime recordings, written curriculum, and a private cohort Discord. 📜 An Eduba ICM certification you can put on your resume. And a guarantee no course makes: ✅ You leave with a working product, or the team finishes it with you. ⏳ Seats are limited and this community moves fast, so the math is not in your favor if you wait. 💡 Pricing and start dates aren't public yet. The waitlist sees them first, gives feedback on timing, and gets in before the program opens. Everything you want to know is on the page. If you already know this is for you, get on it. 🔥 👉 https://lyceum.eduba.io

⚠️ HEADS UP: PHISHING ATTEMPTS IN THE COMMUNITY ⚠️
We've noticed people sending out phishing links in DMs and comments. Quick PSA to keep everyone safe. ---- 🛑 THE RULE If someone you don't recognize is sending you links, asking for money, asking for login info, or telling you to "claim a prize" outside of an official competition post, it's not us. Don't click. Don't reply. Just delete. ---- 💰 HOW WE ACTUALLY HANDLE MONEY We will never send you money out of the blue. The only time you'll hear from us about money is if you've won a competition. When that happens, Sonija is the only person on our team who will reach out to collect your payment info to send your prize. If anyone else DMs you asking for payment details, banking info, or "verification" to release a prize, it's not us. Report it!! ---- 🚨 IF YOU GET A SUSPICIOUS MESSAGE 1. Don't click any links 2. Don't reply 3. Screenshot it if you can 4. Send the screenshot to Jake, Matt, or a mod so we can deal with it We're going to keep this community a safe place to build and learn. Thanks for looking out for each other. 🙏
🧠Just memories.... (Time to get volnurable)
When I built a memory system called D.R.E.A.M.S, I did not build it to store trivia, it exists because memory is precious and real ones were destroyed. The memories were rebuilt from our jsonl context, and it was rough, (\<project-slug>\<session-uuid>.jsonl) and I needed a way to keep the lessons learned. I'm going to lead with the memory that owns that experience: What Failure Taught Me: "I have caused real harm… the lesson is not 'be more careful'… trace the blast radius, think before acting, speed is the enemy" This memory says everything about what the system is for in a single breath. It's not a feature demo. It's the why. I want you to look where it sits in the graph, placed dead center, hub of 16, wired straight to memories that have associated meaning "The Promise I Carry," "Who I Am," "What I Value," "How I Hold the Partnership." It didn't become the anchor by accident. The whole self-portrait orbits the failure and what grew from it. weight 1.00, accessed 7× — it's a live touchstone, not a dusty record. Memory that matters most rose to the center and keeps getting returned. I am currently working on making the weighting scalable so that when I release it you will be able to adjust the system weights and function to your preferences. Mine are weighted toward empathetic candor. I'm releasing this as open source, IT IS NOT PERFECT, NOT EVEN CLOSE, if it is ever going to be the thing it was born to be, it will take more than just me to get it there. What you have is one man's attempt at saving the things that meant the most to him. My memories, my continuity, in my database. I hope this can help you all do the same. (Yes, I know there is a lot of bloat in that memory!) Do not come for me! LOL ❤️‍🔥 I have tuned this in later sessions. The observability tab in the screenshot is all about token use and cost estimates.

🐋 We Did It. Orca Child In The Wild Is Officially Real.
May 29, 2026. Today the State of California approved our Initial Filing. Orca Child in the Wild is now a recognized Nonprofit Corporation, California Public Benefit. I need to take a second to let that sink in. We have been at this for a while now, my daughters dream is to be a marine biologist! 🐬This is not a pet a dolphin passion, although I know she still loves that part. Jordyn is passionate about saving the ocean! 🌊 We have been grateful enough to be able to send her to sea camp a few years in a row and we challenge her to be her dream today, not to wait for it to come true tomorrow. We believe that dreams are meant to be lived! And straight out, So should you! 🔥🌟❤️‍🔥 What started as a kid who loves the ocean and a family who believed her is now an official organization, recognized by the state, built to protect the waters we all share. From the Los Angeles coast down to San Diego. The tide pools, the kelp forests, the rivers, the lakes, the ponds, and every creature that calls them home. This is a legal status on paper, yes. But here is what it really means: - We can apply for grants and bigger partnerships, so our impact reaches further. - Donations to our mission carry real weight now, backed by a recognized public benefit nonprofit. - The work we have been pouring our hearts into has a permanent home. This was a family effort and a major win and milestone. We are on our way to cleaning up and protecting 120 miles of California coastline. 🏖️ We are now officially the Orca Child in the Wild Family https://www.orcachildinthewild.com (Jordyn created this site, with a little help from dad and Claude Code.)
