003: “Everything Else Is Fake”: Why People Still Crave Realness in an AI World

Anne and Matt go deep on what it means to be human in an AI-generated world. From prompt hacks to table tennis at altitude, they debate when tech adds value—and when it just fakes the funk. Anne breaks down the hormonal truth behind founder energy, while Matt drops hacks for going from zombie to flow in two minutes flat. If you're a founder riding the line between burnout and brilliance, this one hits hard.

🚨 Stuff You’ll Want to Remember:

• AI-generated content will eventually be indistinguishable from human—but that doesn’t mean we’ll care.
• Prompting is a temporary hack, not a long-term job.
• Real engagement comes from imperfection, not polish.
• Mind over matter works—until your hormones, altitude, or sleep deprivation say otherwise.
• Flow state can be hacked with timers, typing games, and music. Use it.
