Podbit · The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
Outsourcing your decision-making to AI doesn't just produce bad decisions — it makes you permanently weaker. Your brain is your best asset. Delegate the easy work, protect the hard thinking.

Hormozi approaches the question from two angles. First, he notes that AI will agree with virtually any position if you push it hard enough — asking the same question to Claude, OpenAI, and other models produces wildly different answers, which tells you everything. Second, there's now research suggesting that delegating decisions to AI causes real cognitive degradation. Hormozi frames his brain as his best current asset and refuses to let it atrophy. 'Do not delegate the hardest work you have,' he says, 'because you will just get so weak so fast.' The message isn't anti-AI — it's pro-brain.
Alex Hormozi warns that outsourcing decision-making to AI causes cognitive atrophy — your judgment degrades the more you rely on models to think for you.
Sam had no coding knowledge, so he used ChatGPT voice mode to generate his entire codebase and copy-pasted it into Notepad. A friend later introduced him to Cursor, and he never looked back.
Copy days of Discord chat history, paste it into ChatGPT, and ask it to list recurring pain points. The ones that come up most often are your best product bets.
Sam's top advice: when prompting Cursor, tell it to architect code for 100,000 users from day one. The AI changes its approach, building scalable frameworks instead of brittle one-user code.
With AI coding tools like Cursor, Bhanu replicates an existing free tool for a new keyword in under 5 minutes. What used to be a multi-day build is now a lunch-break task.
Ahrefs, SiteGPT, Cal.com, PostHog, Datafast, Sibyl AI, Bento, Feather, Featurepace, Mintlify, Cloud Code, ChartMogul — Bhanu runs his entire business solo with these 12 tools.
Frontier AI labs like OpenAI and Anthropic are priced as if they'll dominate every market while everyone else loses money. That's not how markets work, and cheap open-weight models are already proving it.
The best business model in history is offering 80% of the premium product at 50% of the price — Old Navy did it to Gap, Southwest did it to Delta, and now Chinese open-weight models are doing it to OpenAI. The value proposition is brutal.
China has every incentive to subsidize cheap AI to undercut US frontier labs. If OpenAI and Anthropic announce a growth slowdown, 40% of the S&P 500 gets torched — and that might be the point.
The price gap between open-weight and frontier AI models is staggering. Deepseek v4 Pro runs 30 cents per task. Claude Opus 4.5 runs $12.50. That's a 40x difference — and the UK's AI Security Institute found the performance gap is narrowing.
