Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedSHOW NOTES Stack Overflow, once the go-to haven for developers seeking solutions in the wee hours, is facing a seismic shift. Jim Carter kicks off this episode of The Prompt by diving into the decline of this once-thriving community. With a staggering 64% drop in new questions year-over-year as of April 2025, Stack Overflow is seeing a return to its early days' activity levels. The culprit? AI tools like ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot, offering instant, judgment-free assistance. Jim reminisces about the days when Stack Overflow was a vibrant community, a place where a simple "this worked for me, thanks!" could make a coder's day. But the platform's strict moderation and gatekeeping have turned it into a less welcoming space. Now, with AI providing fast and context-aware help, developers are opting for these new tools over the traditional forum. In response, Stack Overflow is pivoting with OverflowAI, integrating AI into its offerings. They're rolling out a VS Code extension, semantic search, and a Slack bot to merge AI's speed with community credibility. This move isn't just about Stack Overflow; it's a wake-up call for all platforms relying on user-generated content. Jim invites listeners to ponder the future of community and knowledge sharing in the age of AI.

An AI doctor? Sounds like the future, right? In this episode of The Prompt, Jim Carter dives into a groundbreaking story that could redefine healthcare as we know it. Tech entrepreneur Kevin Rose, known for launching Digg, faced a persistent health issue: elevated homocysteine levels, a risk factor for heart disease and stroke. Despite trying every standard treatment, nothing worked. Enter AI. Kevin took a bold step by feeding his entire genome into an AI system. The result? The AI identified a common genetic mutation, MTHFR, which hindered his ability to process folic acid, rendering standard supplements ineffective. The AI's solution? Methylated B vitamins, which bypass the genetic roadblock. With this personalized protocol, Kevin's levels finally dropped, showcasing the power of AI in healthcare. This isn't just a tech tale; it's a glimpse into a new era where treatment is personalized, proactive, and precise. Genomic analysis, once a luxury for the elite, is now accessible to the masses, costing less than a new smartphone. Imagine the possibilities: autoimmune disorders, chronic fatigue, and more could be tackled with AI's pattern recognition prowess. Kevin's story reframes "biohacking" as using available tools to better understand our bodies. However, handling DNA data requires careful consideration of privacy and bias in algorithms. Yet, the potential benefits are enormous—preventing illness before it starts and tailoring treatments to individual biology. As Kevin told Tim Ferriss, "If we don’t use AI to help us live longer, healthier lives… then what are we even doing with it?" It's a compelling call to action. If you're intrigued by the intersection of AI and health, Jim invites you to join his private Slack community, CTRL + ALT + BUILD, where you can explore and innovate with like-minded leaders.

Alphabet is at a crossroads, and it's a major turning point. In this episode of The Prompt, Jim kicks things off by breaking down Alphabet's $90.2 billion Q1 earnings. But this isn’t just about a strong quarter. It’s about where Alphabet is heading next in the age of AI. Search, YouTube, and Cloud are still going strong, giving Alphabet the cash cushion to make bold moves—like a $70 billion stock buyback and their first-ever dividend. But behind all the financial headlines is something even bigger: strategy. One of the most fascinating plays? Waymo. Alphabet’s self-driving car division is quietly running 250,000 paid robotaxi rides every week. Yet, it’s barely getting the attention (or market value) it deserves. Could Waymo be Alphabet’s secret AI ace? Jim also takes a hard look at Gemini, Alphabet’s flagship AI model. Despite its technical strengths, it’s falling behind ChatGPT in adoption. The big question: should Alphabet risk its massive ad business by making Gemini the default across products like Search, Gmail, and YouTube? Most experts say yes—but the current UX just isn’t there. It’s a product leadership problem waiting to be solved. Alphabet is going all-in on AI infrastructure with a $75 billion capex plan. But rising geopolitical tensions—especially between the U.S. and China—could complicate things for their ad-heavy business model. So what’s the bottom line? Alphabet’s core business is strong, they’ve got the war chest to go big on AI, and Waymo could be a game-changer. But the next couple of years will be a test of whether they can lead—or get outpaced by faster, more focused rivals. Want to keep up with these shifts in real time?

That's cheaper than most rivals and offers double the capacity. Jim wraps up by inviting listeners to join the conversation and explore the possibilities with Gemini 2.5 Pro. Whether you're a developer, researcher, or content creator, this episode is a must-listen. So, are you ready to push the limits of what's possible with AI?…
Imagine an AI that not only assists you in the moment but also remembers your preferences, quirks, and projects for future interactions. Well, ChatGPT just got a major memory upgrade that can do just that. In this episode of The Prompt, Jim explores what that means for creators, students, solopreneurs, and the future of AI.

With partnerships at renowned institutions like Northeastern University and the London School of Economics, Claude is seamlessly integrating into educational systems, ensuring that both students and teachers benefit from this tech marvel. Jim reminisces about his own school days, contrasting the past's rote learning with today's need for deeper understanding. In a world where information is at our fingertips, tools like Claude encourage students to engage more profoundly with material. Key insights from the episode include the importance of shaping AI's role in our lives actively. As Daniela Amodei, Anthropic's president, emphasizes, we must be participants, not passive observers, in AI's evolution. Jim challenges listeners to consider how AI can enhance their personal and professional growth, urging them to collaborate with developers for industry-specific solutions.

This isn't just a tech story; it's a seismic shift in the landscape of artificial intelligence. Jim Carter dives into the details on The Prompt, exploring what this monumental investment means for the future of AI and why it matters to all of us. The episode kicks off with the sheer magnitude of the investment—$40 billion, led by SoftBank with a whopping $30 billion contribution. This isn't just a vote of confidence; it's a declaration that AI is the future. But there's a catch: OpenAI must transition from a non-profit to a for-profit entity by 2025, or risk losing half the funding. It's a high-stakes game, but OpenAI seems ready to play. A significant portion of the funds is earmarked for the mysterious Stargate Initiative, a collaboration with SoftBank and Oracle to build unprecedented AI infrastructure. The rest will fuel AI research and enhance tools like ChatGPT, pushing the boundaries of what's possible.

AI is revolutionizing Formula 1 racing, and Jim Carter dives deep into this exciting transformation in the latest episode of The Prompt. Imagine a world where race-day glitches that once took days to fix are now resolved in mere minutes. That's the power of AI in F1, and it's not just a fantasy—it's happening right now. Jim takes us trackside to the Canadian Grand Prix, where a broadcast freeze threatened to lose millions of viewers. Thanks to AI, the issue was detected in 18 seconds and resolved in just over 11 minutes, saving the day and retaining 8.2 million viewers. Over in Spain, AI tackled a lap time anomaly by crunching 12 million data points in two hours—a task that would have previously taken 19 days. These examples highlight a staggering 99% improvement in issue detection time, saving F1 an estimated $18.7 million across 23 races. But AI's role isn't just reactive; it's predictive. A whopping 87% of race-day issues are now flagged before they even occur, akin to having a mechanic who fixes your car before it breaks down. Beyond the racetrack, AI is optimizing resource usage, enhancing broadcast reliability, and freeing engineers to innovate rather than firefight.

With AI shaping our daily lives, from shopping to learning, Jim argues that it's high time we teach kids to think about AI, use it responsibly, and ensure they aren't left behind. Jim highlights a startling reality: only 30% of U.S. adults recognize AI's role in everyday tools like virtual assistants and recommendation algorithms.

This concept sees AI as a partner that amplifies human creativity and productivity, not in some distant future, but today. Businesses and individuals embracing AI are poised to lead the future, with AI automating up to 70% of non-value-added tasks and unlocking trillions in productivity gains. Jim highlights a critical gap between belief and action. While many businesses acknowledge AI's importance, they feel unprepared to implement it.

Did you know that nearly 70% of nonprofit workers would be happier if AI could take over their repetitive tasks? That's a staggering number, and Jim Carter dives into this fascinating topic in the latest episode of The Prompt. Nonprofits, often strapped for time and resources, are turning to AI not just for efficiency but to amplify their impact. Jim explores how nonprofits are using AI to increase donations by personalizing outreach, much like how Netflix knows your next binge-worthy show.

DeepSeek R1 is shaking up the AI industry, and Jim Carter is here to spill it all on why this new model from China is causing such a stir. DeepSeek does it all by handling text, images, audio, and video. But the real game-changer? It's open-sourced!

Did you know that nearly half of all internet traffic in 2023 was automated? Jim Carter dives into the intriguing and somewhat eerie Dead Internet Theory, which suggests that bots and AI-generated content are taking over the web. Imagine a future where up to 90% of online interactions are driven by machines rather than humans. It's a wild concept, but one that's gaining traction as AI tools like ChatGPT and image generators flood the internet with automated content. Jim explores the implications of this shift, highlighting how AI-generated material can drown out genuine human voices. Search engines and social platforms often prioritize this automated content, making it harder to find trustworthy, authentic information. While Jim is a fan of AI's potential to enhance creativity and efficiency, he warns of the risks of a fully automated internet, where trust and authenticity could be compromised. Key insights from the episode include the importance of leading with humanity by sharing personal stories and experiences that bots can't replicate. Jim emphasizes the value of direct engagement in smaller, community-focused spaces and encourages listeners to stay curious about AI's impact on the internet. He also advocates for responsible AI use, where transparency and honesty are paramount. A notable takeaway is Jim's own experiment, Project AISEO Moat, where he's testing AI-driven content automation.
