The Impossible Challenge

I interviewed a couple of our former students about what, in particular, was the most impactful part of the class for them. Two things stuck with me:

1. doing things they never thought would be possible
2. Getting over the hump to their first 100 hours of creative work using AI.

For many of our students, it wasn’t any particular piece of technical knowledge or any specific trick we gave them. It was the experience of building something, improving it, iterating on it, and maintaining a personal AI practice.

That is an experience I want for all of you. So for the hour, that’s what we’re going to do.

Your challenge: build something that, before this class, you would not have believed you could make. Something you really want to improve, iterate on, and maintain.

If you’d like a theme, choose one of these:

1. Joy: Make something that delights you or someone else.
2. Community: Make something that brings people together.
3. Autodidact: Teach yourself something you’ve always wanted to learn.
