"I give it the rough draft that I wrote. I give it the full Substack page that I'm working on. I give that to Claude and I'd say don't make anything. Give me your five to seven ideas for graphics... after two or three back and forth we come up with a design that we like, and that's when I have Claude actually make those graphics."

"Grokbot just is like, 'Hey, here I'm going to bring up my computer.' It actually shows you what it's seeing. It goes just log into X for me. I logged in through our This Week in AI account and it's just off to the races — it sees everything I could see. It's logged in, it's pulling tweets, it's referencing things. It's very intuitive. You just need to tell it in plain language what you want. It's very impressive."

"Obviously, Jason and I worked on a style guide. So, that was the first step. Claude Design. You go in there, you bounce ideas around. I like this. I don't like this. I like this font... And eventually you get to a point where it's like this is a good sort of style format that we can use over and over again to make our content."

"I read Richard Socher's book, our This Week in AI guest... The Eureka Machine... It's really good. It very clearly lays out how AI is actually going to make science and medicine... It's not so abstract. He really walks you through the whole process... So highly recommend it."

"If you're going somewhere and you want to get a feel for the place that you're going, then you want an Airbnb because you're staying in a neighborhood and there's a person who's going to leave you a binder that's like, go to this pizza place... For business travel I'm just like, put me at a hotel. But for Rome, it was perfect. I would very much recommend an Airbnb."

"I'll give you one other producing tip with Grok bot. It's really good at surfacing people's contact info. So if you don't want to pay for a service... just ask Grok bot. It'll figure out their assistant's name and look up their contact information... With the help of Grok bot, I was able to find an email address I hadn't found before. Got right through."

- Dark Matter Recommends it "I'll tell you about another great show that I highly recommend. It's on Apple TV Plus, just back for season two. It's called Dark Matter. If you are a hard sci-fi fan, it is great. It really plays around with that multiverse premise in a way that the Marvel stuff, they're just kind of doing it in a more cartoony way. This is really thinking deeply about what would happen if a person from one reality went into another." Only Lon
- Black & Decker Uses it "I have a Black & Decker like drip coffee machine. 30 buck drip coffee machine. Makes great drip." Only Lon
- The Wizard of the Kremlin Recommends it "It's a really fascinating story. It's a long movie that kind of takes you through the entire how the rise of Putin happened. Great performances from Jude Law and Paul Dano. That's on Hulu and Disney Plus right now." Only Lon
- Criminal Record Recommends it "I really like this one. It's about it's a cop show, but a lot a lot of cop shows it's like the cops are geniuses and it's about these like hero genius cops and they can't they you know like and I like Special Victims Unit or whatever that Law and Order show, but the cops are they're superheroes on that one. And what I like about Criminal Record is it's very realistic about what it would be like to be a cop." Only Lon
- Incas: The Rise and Fall Recommends it "This is on Disney Plus right now. It's a National Geographic docu-series. Incas: The Rise and Fall. I went to Peru many years ago, visited some of the sites. I've been really enjoying it. It does a really good job of using what we know about Incan culture." Only Lon
- Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen Recommends it "It's not like anything else I have seen on TV recently. It's very strange and I think if you're either a fan of like family relationship drama or creepy horror, I think there's something to enjoy in this show for everybody. So, I I really recommend it."
