Reid Hoffman on How AI is Answering Our Biggest Questions - Ep. 18 with Reid Hoffman

Learn how to use philosophy to run your business more effectivelyReid Hoffman thinks a masters in philosophy will help you run your business better than an MBA.Reid is the cofounder of LinkedIn, a partner at venture capital firm Greylock Partners, the host of the Masters of Scale podcast, and a prolific author. But before he did any of these things, Reid studied philosophy—and by helping him understand how to think, it made him a better entrepreneur. A good student of philosophy rigorously engages with questions about truth, human nature, and the meaning of life, and, over time, learns how to think clearly about the big picture. This is a powerful tool for founders faced with existential questions about their product, consumers, and competitors, and enables them to respond with well-reasoned answers and enviable clarity of thought.This show is usually about the actionable ways in which people have incorporated ChatGPT into their lives, but in this episode, I sat down with Reid to tackle a deeper question: How is AI changing what it means to be human? How might it change the way we see ourselves and the world around us?This episode is a must-watch for anyone curious about some of the bigger questions prompted by the rapid development of AI.Thanks again to our sponsor CommandBar, the first AI user assistance platform, for helping make this video possible. ⁠https://www.commandbar.com/copilot/⁠If you found this episode interesting, please like, subscribe, comment, and share! Want even more?Sign up for Every to unlock our ultimate guide to prompting ChatGPT.
