Monday Musings - I Interviewed Sam Altman

Read in your browser here.

You know Sam Altman as the CEO of OpenAI — but he's also an avid writer.

We spoke not once but twice about how he captures ideas, clarifies his thinking, edits his writing, decides what to work on, and uses ChatGPT. Here are some clips from the episode:

  1. Sam's obsessive note-taking process (this one went viral)
  2. What Sam learned from Peter Thiel
  3. How Sam chooses what to work on
  4. Will AI kill writing?

And if you're ready to dive in, here's the full thing!
