We jumped from discussing Cooper Flagg’s basketball stats at Duke to comparing Carlo Rovelli and Brian Greene’s competing theories of physics to talking about the history of San Francisco. In a daring feat of economic analysis, I asked it to calculate if the after-tax returns of two ETFs were statistically significant & to compare the energy portfolios using the 13-Fs of a few hedge funds for investment ideas.

When a friend hopped in, nothing changed : a three-way conversation where one of the participants happened to be a savantic robot.

When I have an idea now, I don’t scramble for a notebook – I hold the right-option keyboard key to activate Whisper, an AI that listens and transcribes everything I say, even my messiest, most ill-formed thoughts.

The text of these rough ideas are fed into another AI that organizes them, structures them, and helps me shape them into something coherent through conversation.
