Episode notes
Data + Prompting Drive AI Value
- AI is like energy: algorithms need two things—data and instructions—to deliver value.
- Differentiation will come from superior data and expert prompting, not from owning base models.
Write Precise, Long Prompts And Curate Data
- Build robust data sets and long, precise prompts (pages, not paragraphs) to get reliable AI outputs.
- Treat prompting like a recipe and codify exact instructions for the model.
AI Reframes Political Polling
- Replacing single-snapshot polls with continuous social sentiment analysis gives richer political intelligence.
- Coding and ranking thousands of online signals produces actionable messaging guidance faster and cheaper than phone polls.
