Why I Don’t Use AI to Write — Oliver Burkeman
<p>In this episode we sit down with Oliver Burkeman (author of Four Thousand Weeks) to talk about AI, meaning, and why the value of creative work hinges on a human consciousness behind it. We get into:</p><ul><li>Tools, not companions: why he avoids “relationships” with AI and treats it like a pen or a Mac</li><li>Trust, but humans: why provenance matters even if you “can’t tell” who wrote it</li><li>The creator’s edge: double down on the purely human rather than joining the generic race</li><li>First drafts are the thinking: why outsourcing early or late stages erodes voice and meaning</li><li>Scarcity gives value: why using your finite time confers worth readers can actually feel</li><li>Artisanal future: human-made work as microbrew, not mass commodity</li></ul><p><br></p><p>If you make things, Oliver’s counsel is simple: don’t outsource the part that gives the work its meaning. Keep your drafts human, use tools as tools, and build trust by letting readers feel a person on the other end.

Inside the Research Mind Behind Ryan Holiday and Rick Rubin — Billy Oppenheimer
<p>In this episode we sit down with Billy Oppenheimer (researcher/writer for Ryan Holiday and Rick Rubin; author of the Six at Six newsletter) to talk about taste, note cards, and using AI without losing the human filter. </p><p>We get into:</p><ul><li>AI as tool, taste as foundation: why resonance with readers remains an impossible bet</li><li>Ryan’s note card system: “make notes for an ignorant stranger” so future-you can use them</li><li>From serendipity to synthesis: stacking 8–12 cards into a theme and letting weird specificity emerge</li><li>Where AI fits: upstream tutoring for tricky references, downstream lists and sentence variants—never the spark</li><li>Speed vs. substance: is AI actually good, or just fast</li><li>Neck-down work: when to stop optimizing and just do the tedious thing</li><li>Reading as an edge in the AI era: finding stories outside the training data</li></ul><p><br /></p><p>If you make things, Billy’s playbook is simple: read widely, capture diligently, stack note cards until a theme clicks—then use AI as a tutor and helper, not a substitute.
