More thinking, not less

Hand your work to AI and you'll get lazy, right?

On Thursday's show my co-host Nico Lafakis took that head on: "the amount of thinking that I have done over the last two weeks is immense by comparison to what it was weeks before that."

Here's where the thinking is going, in his words:

1. "constantly thinking through process"

2. "constantly thinking through what direction I want to go in next"

3. "how I want things to unfold and what I want things to look like"

4. going deeper into the processes he runs and "actually starting to create formulas from them so that it's easier for people to digest"

If you're deciding how much of your own work to hand over, it's worth hearing where his attention went.
