In this conversation, Jordan reacts to Sam Altman's recent interview at Stanford and discusses various topics related to AI, business, and entrepreneurship. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the root problem and having a vision when building a company. Jordan also talks about the need for experimentation and the time it takes for society to fully integrate and utilize new technologies. He highlights the role of institutions and the continuous redefinition of the social contract. Additionally, he discusses important traits for founders and the value of being a generalist in the startup world. In this conversation, Jordan expresses frustration with a professor who asks repetitive questions and wastes time. He also discusses OpenAI's decision to create OpenAI LLC and seek outside funding. Jordan shares his disappointment with the professor's lack of research and criticizes Logan for biting the hand that feeds. He talks about the challenges of creating an effective AI assistant and the potential for Apple to develop an action model. Jordan also mentions the development of a giant military Manta Ray drone and speculates about OpenAI launching a search engine. He concludes by thanking supporters and promoting a sponsor.

In this conversation, the hosts discuss several topics including newspapers suing OpenAI, the sentencing of the former Binance CEO, A16Z's views on HR, and the increasing budget allocations for generative AI in enterprises. They also touch on the loss of credibility in institutions and the challenges of measuring ROI in AI investments. In this conversation, Joseph and Jordan discuss various topics related to AI and language models. They touch on the importance of product adoption and the risks associated with using new technology. They also discuss the recent case of United Health paying a ransom to hackers and the potential legal implications of such actions. They explore the scalability of language models and the challenges of training them. They also discuss the potential applications of language models in mental health support and coaching.

The Financial Times has struck a deal with OpenAI to train AI models on the publisher's archived content, allowing ChatGPT to respond to questions with short summaries from FT articles. OpenAI has also been in talks with Apple about generative AI for iOS 18. The challenge for OpenAI is to maintain a competitive edge in the rapidly evolving AI landscape, especially with the open-source community making advancements in models like GPT-3. Google's play in the future could involve a combination of ad-supported and subscription-based models, as well as incorporating ads into generative responses. Meta (formerly Facebook) is focused on generating engagement and personalization, while OpenAI needs to differentiate itself through features and lock-in. The future of OpenAI's moat is uncertain, as competitors continue to develop their own AI models and the open-source community makes advancements.
