Before conducting each of these interviews, Dwarkesh learns as much as he can about his guest and their area of expertise—AI hardware, tense geopolitical crises, and the genetics of human origins, to name a few. \nThe most important tool in his learning arsenal? AI—specifically Claude, Claude Projects, and a few custom tools he’s built to accelerate his workflow.\nHe does this by researching extensively, and as his knowledge grows, each piece of new information builds upon the last, making it easier and easier to grasp meaningful insights. \nIn this interview, I turn the tables on him to understand how the prolific podcaster uses AI to become a smarter version of himself. We get into:\nHow he uses LLMs to remember everything\nHis podcast prep workflow with Claude to understand complex topics\nWhy it’s important to be an early adopter of technology\nHis taste in books and how he uses LLMs to learn from them\nHow he thinks about building a worldview \nHis quick takes on the AI’s existential questions—AGI and P(doom)\nWe also use Claude live on the show to help Dwarkesh research for an upcoming podcast recording.\nThis is a must-watch for curious people who want to use AI to become smarter.\nIf you found this episode interesting, please like, subscribe, comment, and share! \nSponsor: \nGemini: Experience high quality AI video generation with Google's most capable video model: Veo 3.
