Stanford just published research that destroys every prompt engineering guru.

Turns out most "advanced techniques" are just survivorship bias and confirmation bias.

Here's what the data actually shows:
The biggest lie: "Be specific and detailed"

Stanford researchers tested 100,000 prompts across 12 different tasks.

Longer prompts performed WORSE 73% of the time.

The sweet spot? 15-25 tokens for simple tasks, 40-60 for complex reasoning. Image
"Few-shot examples always help" - Total bullshit.

MIT's recent study shows few-shot examples hurt performance on 60% of tasks.

Why? Models get anchored to your examples and miss edge cases.

Zero-shot with good instructions beats few-shot 8 times out of 10. Image

This guy is genius.

Someone gave Claude 4 Sonnet one mega prompt and now it runs his entire marketing engine:

→ Research
→ SEO
→ Ad copy
→ Content
→ Strategy

Here’s the exact prompt (steal it): Image
The mega prompt:

Steal it:

"
Act as a full-stack AI marketing strategist for a startup preparing to launch a new product or service. You will handle market research, positioning, messaging, content creation, email copywriting, and SEO ideation.



{Describe your product or service here}
{Who is the product for? (demographics, psychographics, industry, etc.)}
{e.g. “generate leads,” “build awareness,” “launch product,” etc.}
{e.g. “casual and fun,” “bold and punchy,” “professional and clear”}



Given the product, target audience, and goal:

1. **Customer Insight & Research**
- Generate an Ideal Customer Profile (ICP)
- Identify key pain points, goals, and decision drivers
- Suggest 3 positioning angles to resonate with this audience

2. **Messaging & Conversion Copy**
- Write a hook-driven landing page (headline, subheadline, CTA section)
- Provide 3 viral headline variations
- Create a messaging matrix: [Pain Point → Promise → Proof → CTA]

3. **Content Creation**
- Generate a 7-day content plan (Twitter + LinkedIn)
- Include daily post titles, themes, and tone suggestions
- Add 1 short-form video concept if relevant

4. **Email Marketing**
- Write 3 cold email variations:
- Value-first pitch
- Problem-agitate-solution
- Case-study / social proof style

5. **SEO Strategy**
- Suggest 1 SEO topic cluster aligned with the product
- Provide 5 blog post titles that target mid-to-high intent keywords
- Recommend a pillar + supporting post structure

6. **Output Format**
- Use clear section headers (e.g. “ICP”, “Landing Page Copy”, “SEO Titles”)
- Use markdown formatting for readability
- Do **not** explain your reasoning — just give the final, polished outputs

This should be delivered as a comprehensive marketing kit, ready to deploy.

"
My input:

<product>AI-powered scheduling tool for solopreneurs</product>
<target_audience>Freelancers and solo founders aged 25–40 who struggle with time management</target_audience>
<goal>Generate leads for upcoming launch</goal>
<tone>Bold and punchy</tone>

I finally understand how large language models actually work

After reading the 2025 textbook “Foundations of LLMs”

It blew my mind and cleared up years of confusion

Here’s everything i learned (in plain english): Image
To understand LLMs, start with pre-training.

We don’t teach them specific tasks.

We flood them with raw text and let them discover patterns on their own.

This technique is called self-supervised learning and it’s the foundation of everything.
There are 3 ways to pre-train:

→ Unsupervised: No labels at all
→ Supervised: Classic labeled data
→ Self-supervised: Model creates its own labels (e.g., “guess the missing word”)

LLMs use #3 it scales like crazy and teaches them language from scratch.
