"You could do this in whichever model you're using, whether it's Copilot or ChatGPT or whatever. If it knows you — if it has enough history on you — you can just ask, 'What do you think I should do in the next 5 years? What might be some rewarding paths of exploration?' The answers were outstanding, really really good."
▶ 1:10:29"I drop in three camera shots, two pieces of audio, and I said, go make the podcast. And I just said that, I told that to ChatGPT. It connected directly. I'm watching on the screen. It's rearranging everything, editing it, doing all that stuff."

"When I travel, I kind of flip brands all over the place, but lately I like the stuff from Momentous cuz of the quality checks they do. And I have their little travel satchels that I take with me and just mix them with some stuff. As long as I slow drink it over like 3 hours, I'm fine."

"I've told it there's a restaurant that's a hard reservation to get into... it's like, 'Hey, I can't log in with your OpenTable, but it drops at this time every 2 weeks.' ...it snagged the reservation for me perfectly and added it to my calendar. And then the cool thing is, if you have multiple friends with Instinct, you can friend your Instincts together... It's magic."
▶ 6:15"So I have this phone number. I texted it... the first thing I notice is that this bot texts me back and it's like, 'Hey, you missed this DocuSign from a couple days ago.' ... I've had it change flights for me. I've told it there's a restaurant that's a hard reservation to get into. This is all Instinct."

"I actually like Grok. I use Grok more than people might realize — for current events and synthesizing. They have direct access to the X API and X tools built into Grok. It is one of the most grounded models and doesn't hallucinate. On Digg, when we relaunch it, we use a lot of AI to come up with the different stories — we use it a ton because we want that grounded information that is true."

"And then what I hit is I hit GPT-4 Mini largely because it's fast as hell and cheap and it's very it's quite smart."

"And so what I do for that, actually, let me just do a screen share again, is for the durability side, I use a service called trigger.dev. And so I like trigger.dev because what it does is it allows me to create these functions and they're all TypeScript that live in the cloud."

"I play Duolingo chess, because they have chess on there now for Duolingo. They teach you chess. It's amazing. You can play friends and live people and all that stuff. They do game replays and they teach. I'm learning a ton. 30, 40 minutes go by and you're drenched in sweat."

"People should also know that Brazil nuts, like that nut, it receives its selenium from the soil itself... I've seen this now at grocery stores. There's Brazil nuts that aren't even made in Brazil. So you have to make sure it has, say, 'product of Brazil' on the back."

"If you thought Claude or ChatGPT was really good at helping you write, wait till you throw this harness on top of the AI."

"There's a company called Every out there and they had released a package for coders called Compound Engineering. They now have one, you can just type in Every Compound Engineering writer harness and it'll show you the right one. You just install it into your ChatGPT or your Claude and it will write the book for you. It's going to be insane."

"If you thought Claude or ChatGPT was really good at helping you write, wait till you throw this harness on top of the AI."
"If there's a new model that comes out, there's zero loyalty. It's like, oh, Claude's better, I'll go use Claude. Oh, ChatGPT's better."

"Same thing happens with Photoshop now... I would never need to see Photoshop ever again. I'm like, hey, just go remove this stain or whatever it is, and it's just done."
