AI Book Club Podcast

William Zhu calls himself AI-pilled. He talks to Claude on his walks, vibe codes apps with it, and has bots answer his email. But does AI give you more time, or just more work? And how much would you let an AI agent do for you? We get into all of that and more in this conversation on Tim Ferriss's classic book The 4-Hour Workweek, revisited through an AI lens.
