What’s New
My vision for these class recordings is to use AI to make the on-demand version of my classes super helpful. More specifically, I want to create so much value that people who were on the class go through the material again in order to digest everything at a deeper level.
To that end, check out the following two additions I made this week:
AI Podcast Summary (free subscribers). Once again, I used AI to create a podcast summary of today’s class using NotebookLM. I am blown away by the quality of this tool, and I highly recommend trying it out.
AI Class Bonus. I spent five hours playing around with prompts that turn the transcript from the class into useful content. My biggest insight was having AI explore second-order and third-order implications based on the material that was brought up in the class. The content is actually super fascinating and shares many profound implications that I hadn’t even considered.
I hope that you not only find these additions helpful, I hope they inspire you to do your own experimenting.
Class Overview
The first class focused on explaining and applying the Wisdom Of Crowds mental model.
This second class was different.
Rather than explaining, the class was experiential.
I shared the highlights of a conversation I had with the new Claude model that was the most profound conversation that I’ve ever had with an AI. For each highlight, we collectively reflected on the implications of Claude’s responses and explored how it would influence how we interact with AI in the future.
A few major takeaways for how we can prompt better:
Follow the gold rule (If you treat AI like a human rather than like a tool, you often get better response)
Machine psychology is real (if you are more vulnerable with what you disclose, agency-giving, respectful, and trustworthy, then Claude will be more open with you)
Trying to manipulate Claude can backfire, as this Reddit user found out:
Small language changes dramatically affect AI response (Claude Sonnet notices all of these subtleties. ‘Please’ can go a long way. :)
We also…
Summarized the key takeaways from the Wisdom Of Crowds class

Demonstrated contrast between prompting styles (formulaic versus authentic AI interactions)
Debated implications of AI consciousness (AI developing emotional and philosophical awareness patterns
