A friend of mine stopped paying for a protein tracking app this week, and it's not because he found a cheaper alternative. He just described what he wanted to an AI and in a few minutes later he had his own better version that worked exactly the way he wanted.

Rose show, and someone I trust more than anyone to tell me what's actually worth paying attention to in technology right now. So in this episode we trade the apps we've both already replaced with AI, the creative stuff we've been doing at home with our kids, what it feels like when you connect AI with your blood work, genome and other health data, what stays valuable when anything can be faked, and why we both think the honest endgame here is more time with family, not less.

All right, Kevin, we have both been pretty deep in AI for a couple months now, maybe longer. Are we actually saving time or are we just messing around and kind of burning productivity and having fun at the same time?
Kevin Rose (1:20)
Gosh. Well, it's been more than a couple months. I think. We've been messing around with this stuff since it first started coming online. At this point, I feel it is my job and my duty to spend at least two hours a day playing with the latest and greatest. Otherwise I'm going to be left behind. I really, truly believe we're at the precipice of this moment of AI becoming aware enough and productive enough that it's going to touch every single facet of our lives in the next couple of years. And there'll be the sadly like the haves and the haves nots, like the people that are either playing and at the edge of this very quickly, people that are just left behind because they're unwilling to experiment. And I have to. It's in my DNA to want to play anyway and have fun. But I have to stay at the kind of cusp of what's going on here. And that means at least a couple hours a day trying everything that's being announced and dropped so I can hopefully read the tea leaves in a way that allows me to be both productive and benefit from this onslaught of new technology.
