🖋Our stories

🍲 “How AI Works” by Nir Zicherman: You have probably already given up on your meal-prepping goal for the year, but please, for the love of God, robotics, and Skynet, do not neglect your AI prep. To really be ready for our LLM-driven future, you have to know how it all works. This article by Nir Zicherman is the single best resource to do so. Nir is easy to read, upfront, and accessible. Read this if you want to know not just what the future will be, but how it is being made.

📣 “Crypto’s Prophet Speaks” by Evan Armstrong/Napkin Math: Chris Dixon is the world’s most successful crypto VC. Despite the craziness and subsequent backlash of the 2020s, he has admirably doubled down on crypto with his new book, Read Write Own. Evan, who started the book hoping that crypto could fix the internet, goes through Dixon’s thesis point by point while highlighting issues that he finds in the argument. Read this to understand why $90 billion was poured into crypto and relatively little has come from it. 

🎧 “ChatGPT for Radical Self-betterment” by Dan Shipper/Chain of Thought: ChatGPT can code. It can output recipes. It can also, maybe, fill that hole inside your heart. How? By functioning as a tool for therapy. In the latest episode of How Do You Use ChatGPT?, Dr. Gena Gorlin, a clinical psychologist, outlines her new approach to using ChatGPT to improve your life. Listen to, watch, or read this if you have found that more traditional methods of self-improvement haven’t stuck.
