But before he did any of these things, he studied philosophy—and it changed the way he thinks.\nStudying philosophy trains you to think deeply about truth, human nature, and the meaning of life. It helps you see the big picture and reason through complex problems—invaluable skills for founders grappling with existential questions about their business.\nI usually bring guests onto my podcast to discuss the actionable ways in which people have incorporated ChatGPT into their lives. But this episode is different. \nI sat down with Reid to tackle a deeper question: How is AI changing what it means to be human? \nIt was honestly one of the most meaningful shows I’ve recorded yet. We dive into:\n- How philosophy prepares you to be a better founder\n- The importance of interdisciplinary thinking\n- Essentialism v. nominalism in the context of AI\n- How language models are evolving to be more “essentialist”\n- The co-evolution of humans and technology\n Reid also shares actionable uses of ChatGPT for people who want to think more clearly, like:\n- Input your argument and ask ChatGPT for alternative perspectives\n- Generate custom explanations of complex ideas\n- Leverage ChatGPT as an on-demand research assistant\nThis episode is a must-watch for anyone curious about some of the bigger questions prompted by the rapid development of AI.\nIf you found this episode interesting, please like, subscribe, comment, and share! \nWant even more?\nSign up for Every to unlock our ultimate guide to prompting ChatGPT here: https://every.ck.page/ultimate-guide-to-prompting-chatgpt.
