2024

  • 2024-01-19 · Why You Feel Lost in Life — recommendation: Ali suggests writing out notes on how you want to be remembered and putting them into ChatGPT to draft your obituary, or writing it yourself. — 00:20:35
  • 2024-06-21 · 5 High Income Skills for Students to Learn in 2026 — recommendation: Ali's fifth high-income skill is coding, which he calls surprisingly accessible: free YouTube tutorials teach the basics, and AI tools such as GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT are phenomenally game-changing help. — 00:27:41

2023

  • 2023-03-26 · 6 AI Tools I Use Every Day — announcement: Ali: ChatGPT is the AI chatbot made by OpenAI, which Ali calls the leading force in AI over recent months for releasing GPT-3, GPT-3.5 (ChatGPT) and, very recently, GPT-4. — 00:00:29
    • Ali's main personal use of ChatGPT is idea generation: for a chapter of his book he asked it for scientific case studies linking play, dopamine, novelty and productivity. — 00:00:58
    • Ali says ChatGPT's limitation is that the language model just predicts the next word, so it often makes leaps of logic or says things that are not true. — 00:02:46

    • ChatGPT is often at capacity; Ali pays for ChatGPT Plus at $20 a month, which he finds totally worth it because he uses it a lot for research. — 00:03:44
