Tethics & Chill [online]: AMA w/ Andrew Mayne, first OpenAI prompt engineer and OpenAI Podcast host
As the founding Science Communicator at OpenAI and its first prompt engineer, Andrew helped shape GPT‑3 and ChatGPT. Now at the helm of his own consultancy, Interdimensional, he provides insights on technological acceleration and offers practical strategies for embracing creativity in an AI-centric landscape.
Before his AI pivot, Andrew performed worldwide as a stage magician and taught critical thinking through his Wizard School segments. He’s also a Wall Street Journal‑bestselling novelist and multiple award finalist in thriller fiction, demonstrating mastery across both craft and creativity.
On the recently launched OpenAI Podcast, Andrew discussed AGI and GPT‑5 with Sam Altman, the making of ChatGPT and agentic coding with Nick Turley and Mark Chen, and how AI is transforming education with Leah Belsky. And on his flagship Weird Things podcast Andrew blends science, AI, and playful curiosity to explore everything from de-extinction and robotics to exoplanetary life and emerging tech oddities.
In this first AMA for Tethics & Chill, we're opening the floor to you to play host and audience. So come ready to ask Andrew anything — all your edge-case scenarios, product-shaping dilemmas, and future-of-AI moonshots.
