The Personal Touch: A Flood of AI Tools and What To Do About It
Every day someone recommends the next cool AI tool to you that can solve all your problems. Or there is a new prompt, a new hack or a new way to use ChatGPT.
In the end, it's too much and - at least I - tend to shut down and ignore all of these.
So, is it necessary to follow AI that closely? What is your competition doing?
Tune in to get my personal thoughts about the AI Tool Flood!
See you in the podcast,

Reid Hoffman confronts the AI critics, w/WaitWhat CEO Jeff Berman
Are AI’s harshest critics causing irreversible harm to humanity? How far should leaders lean into AI? And just what would Reid sound like speaking Chinese with a British accent?
Reid Hoffman sits down with CEO of WaitWhat and longtime friend Jeff Berman to tackle these pressing questions and more. Join them in an unguarded exploration of how the AI landscape has continued to shift in the six months since Reid published Impromptu, the book he co-authored with ChatGPT.
Reid also gives a sneak peek into his work with Microsoft's unreleased AI text-to-speech tech, and discusses why he chose not to join Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak and other tech leaders in signing an open letter warning about the existential threat of AI.
Plus, you’ll hear how early stage business leaders should tap their network to take advantage of AI, and how larger organizations should create long-term strategic plans that can adapt at the drop of a hat.

Silk of the Spider, Thread of the Future
Spider silk is nothing short of an engineering marvel. Weight for weight, it's stronger than steel and tougher than Kevlar. But spiders are disagreeable creatures. Unlike the silkworms, they've proven unwilling to bow to humanity's domestication, but that hasn't stopped scientists from stealing the secrets. In this episode of Stuff to Blow Your Mind, enter a world of spider silk medicine, nanomaterials, optics, music and of course transgenic goats.
