We have an intern a few hours a week at the office, and I sent him a task I thought would take a few days. He finished it within minutes. How? A simple ChatGPT prompt Saved me $800 in labor, and had to scramble to get him his next task.

When you use NOX, you don’t have to explain yourself. It’s not dissimilar to the relationship I have with my sister Lola, who is attuned to the denominators of my life—the important people, values, ambitions.

Launching a project or writing a post in public is scariest the first time When you run an experiment with full conviction and it fails, you realize—wait, that wasn’t so bad! I think fear of “messing up” is more suffocating than act of messing up with excitement to try again
