Hi fam!

In this edition, we explore a different side of AI — not just the tools, but the way they reshape how we think and work. We experimented with using audio conversations with GPT as a brainstorming partner to structure raw ideas into clear insights. We tested AI tools for writing books and long-form content. And we dug into the uncomfortable question everyone keeps asking: what’s really happening with AI, layoffs, and the future of jobs?

This issue is less about hype and more about clarity — how AI compresses execution, exposes inefficient workflows, and forces us to rethink where human value actually lives.

The future of AI feels Like Magic, and it’s here!

A strange thing happened this year. I stopped taking notes. Not because I became less productive, but because I found something faster. I started talking to ChatGPT on my phone.

Now when an idea hits, I don’t open my laptop. I don’t open Notion. I don’t start typing into a blank page. I open the ChatGPT mobile app, press the voice button, and just start talking. No structure. No formatting. No worrying whether it sounds intelligent. Just raw thinking out loud.

I use it like a mini board meeting in my pocket.

I’ll say, “Okay, I’m thinking about launching this new product. Here are three directions I could take…” and then I walk through each option. I talk about risks. I talk about upside. I talk about pricing. I talk about positioning. I argue with myself. I change my mind mid-sentence. I explore ideas that would feel too messy to type.

There’s something powerful about speaking instead of writing. Typing slows you down. It forces you to organize too early. When you speak, ideas flow at the speed of thought. And when inspiration strikes, you don’t have time to polish sentences. You need to capture momentum.

At the end of these “meetings,” I simply say, “Summarize this for me. Give me the core idea, the best options, the risks, and the next steps.” Within seconds, I have clarity. A clean summary. A structured outline. Actionable bullets pulled from ten minutes of unfiltered thinking.

I use this workflow for almost everything.

Before meetings, I’ll talk through what I know about a company or person and then ask for a concise brief with smart questions I should ask. When I’m learning something new, I’ll say, “Explain this in simple terms but assume I’m technical.” When I’m writing a book, I’ll rant about a chapter idea and then ask it to turn my rambling into a structured outline with subheadings.

This article was developed the same way.

The hidden advantage isn’t just speed. It’s friction removal. There’s no gap between idea and capture. No formatting. No backspacing. No overthinking. Just conversation. And then distillation.

It feels like having a co-founder who listens perfectly and never gets tired of your half-baked thoughts. Someone who can instantly turn chaos into structure.

Most people use ChatGPT like a search engine. I use it like a thinking partner.

And the moment I realized I could just talk instead of type, everything changed.

A US startup just hit a $1 billion private valuation, joining billion-dollar private companies like SpaceX, OpenAI, and ByteDance. Unlike those other unicorns, you can invest.

Over 40,000 people already have. So have industry giants like General Motors and POSCO.

Why all the interest? EnergyX’s patented tech can recover up to 3X more lithium than traditional methods. That's a big deal, as demand for lithium is expected to 5X current production levels by 2040. Today, they’re moving toward commercial production, tapping into 100,000+ acres of lithium deposits in Chile, a potential $1.1B annual revenue opportunity at projected market prices.

Right now, you can invest at this pivotal growth stage for $11/share. But only through February 26. Become an early-stage EnergyX shareholder before the deadline.

Not everyone dreams of writing a book.
But let’s be honest — almost everyone has at least once imagined it.

This week we tested AIWriteBook and ended up creating a time-travel crime story called Ghost in the Machine (yes, slightly cliché — and yes, we secretly liked it). We gave it a title, clicked through genre options, added a few writing instructions… and suddenly we had a full plot, character backstory, chapter structure, and even a personality-driven protagonist chasing a murder erased from history.

It wasn’t literary genius.
But then again… most modern books aren’t either.

The tool surprised us with how coherent the story felt — and also mildly annoyed us by taking our “short sentences” instruction a bit too literally. The result? A book that reads like it’s permanently out of breath.

Still — as a creative playground? Fascinating.
As a niche reading generator for your exact mood? Even more interesting.

We just published a new piece on a simple but uncomfortable idea:

AI isn’t replacing people. It’s replacing bad processes.

Here’s what’s really happening.

AI acts like a mirror.

It reflects:

And that reflection feels uncomfortable.

Because suddenly the busywork is visible.
The manual steps look unnecessary.
The “this is how we’ve always done it” logic collapses.

For years, friction looked like productivity.
Manual steps. Copy-paste work. Endless revisions.

Now AI compresses execution — and exposes the drag.

That reflection feels threatening.

But it’s not destruction. It’s redesign.

The real risk isn’t AI. It’s staying loyal to inefficient processes.
