Super Prompt: Generative AI
Examining generative AI—not to hype breakthroughs or warn of apocalypse, but to understand how things actually work. Mental models over hot takes. Technology specifics over marketing fog.
Welcome to Super Prompt. Hosted by Tony Wan, ex-Silicon Valley insider.
For The Independents—people who think for themselves, refuse narrative capture, and value depth over certainty.
Independent analysis. Unsponsored. Weekly.
The future belongs to better questions.
