Dr. Gena Gorlin is a clinical psychologist at UT Austin whose goal is to raise the ceiling on human potential.
I sat down with her to discuss how @ChatGPTapp has become a key tool in her quest for radical self-betterment.
In this episode, she feeds ChatGPT a list of her old journal entries, and it conducts the most thorough and insightful annual review and goal-setting session you’ve ever seen:
Ultimately, it acts as both a mirror and mentor for her—one that’s always on, responds instantly, and can take on any personality or psychological modality that she needs.
It’s a mind-bending example of how ChatGPT can unlock your potential.

In Defense of Radical Self-Betterment
Tyler Cowen is an economist who has been thinking about the impact of technology on life, work, and the economy for the past decade. He is a prolific writer behind the leading economic blog Marginal Revolution, a professor of economics at George Mason University, and the author of 17 books.
In this episode, I dive deep with him on how ChatGPT will change the economy, and how he uses it in his own life.
We explore Tyler’s predictions about how AI will impact the economy, distilling decades of contemplation into insights. We watch him interact with ChatGPT and learn how he uses it as a universal translator when he travels, a reading companion, and a research tool. We also see him use Perplexity, and walk through how he fits the two tools together in his workflow.
This is a must-watch for anyone who wants insights on adapting to the future of work. If you found this episode interesting, please like, subscribe, comment, and share. And sign up for Every to get our ultimate guide to prompting ChatGPT.

This show might be a first in the history of podcasts:
Researcher Geoffrey Litt and I built an app together using ChatGPTapp and Replit in under 60 minutes—while we talked.
We wanted to show how AI and ChatGPT change who gets to build software and how they usher in a world where everyone can modify and remix the apps they use every day.
So we did it live, and ChatGPT delivered a working prototype at the end of the episode.
It was a tiny glimpse of the future—and it pushes the boundaries of what a show can be. It honestly left me speechless and it'll change the way you think about software. If it does, make sure to subscribe, share, and leave us a review!

Sometimes ChatGPT is a copilot, sitting beside you, taking directions, and guiding you as you fly through your work. At other times, it’s a subordinate. It’s not just an assistant or a companion, but a trusted deputy, someone—or something—that’ll heed instructions and complete tasks.
This is how our guest, Nathan Labenz, thinks about ChatGPT. In this episode, Labenz—the founder of the AI video company Waymark and the host of his own podcast called The Cognitive Revolution—uses ChatGPT to write complex code in languages he’s unfamiliar with, saving days worth of time in the process.
Just like machines replaced muscles during the Industrial Revolution, AI will one day replace brainpower. Maybe with ChatGPT, we can offload some of the drudgery of everyday work and focus on work that’s actually important.
I spent an hour and a half with Nathan Labenz, who went deep with me on using ChatGPT to:
Save days of time on programming projects
Boost his creativity
Provide access to limitless expertise
We covered both the practical and philosophical, including:
Using AI in copilot versus delegation mode
How ChatGPT relieves the hidden drudgery of creative work
Prompting techniques to maximize your thought partnership with ChatGPT
How he believes AI will do for cognitive labor what the Industrial Revolution did for manual labor
Nathan is an expert and one of the most interesting thinkers in AI today. I’m excited to share his thinking with you—like, comment, subscribe, and share if you liked this episode.
TL;DR: Today we’re releasing a new episode of our podcast How Do You Use ChatGPT? I go in-depth with Notion research engineer Linus Lee on how he uses ChatGPT and Notion AI to maximize creative control. Watch on X, YouTube, or Spotify.
You might think that being an AI researcher would mostly involve solving complicated programming problems and thinking through mathematical equations. Instead, a big part of the job is rewriting parts of your prompts in ALL CAPS in order to make sure the AI model you’re working with follows your directions. “All caps works!” Linus Lee told me in this interview. “If you look at OpenAI's system prompts for a lot of their tools, all caps works.”
Linus is a research engineer at Notion who works on its AI team, prototyping new experiences, like a Q&A chatbot. He is a deep thinker who is obsessed with building AI that enables human creativity and agency. He came on the show to talk about how AI might augment our thinking, how he thinks about prompting to get the best results, and how he uses ChatGPT and Notion AI in his work and life.
I first interviewed him a year ago, when he showed off dozens of AI prototypes he’d been building to try to understand the future of this technology. Our latest interview is a mixture of theory and practice. Linus talks about how the tools we use shape the work we can create and what the future of AI-driven interfaces might be. We watch him demo personal tools he’s built, like an AI chatbot that he communicates with over iMessage. And we peek over his shoulder to see his chats with ChatGPT to understand how he talks to it to get the best results.
Here’s a taste of what we talk about. Read on for more analysis from me at the bottom.
