Keep the blade sharp

How do you stay sharp on AI when nobody's quizzing you?

On Tuesday's show my co-host Nico Lafakis shared what he asked his dot (an AI that works with him inside ChatGPT) to do: "I just want to keep the blade sharp." Every so often it shoots him a question about AI, he answers, and then they explore the answer "in like a Socratic way." In his words: "I have my dot now, so Socratically challenging me on AI stuff daily."

He'd had four of those conversations so far that day: "seriously amazing conversations that I do not get to have with other people, but wish that I could." And it's all by voice: "it's a totally different relationship… not text, only on voice."

If you want to keep up with AI without another course to sit through, the idea is simple enough to borrow.
