00:00:00
it's been almost a year since open AI
00:00:02
released chat GPT to the public kicking
00:00:04
off an AI Gold Rush the company shared
00:00:06
what's coming next at their inaugural
00:00:08
open aai developer conference this week
00:00:10
they always have these conferences when
00:00:11
they get big the announcements included
00:00:13
introduction of custom gpts this was
00:00:15
fascinating for people to create their
00:00:17
own an upcoming App Store and a new
00:00:19
turbo model of chat GPT 4 open AI uh CEO
00:00:24
Sam Alman spelled out the company's
00:00:25
Vision in his keynote let's listen to a
00:00:27
bit we're going to launch the GP store
00:00:29
you can a GPT there and we'll be able to
00:00:31
feature the best and the most popular
00:00:33
gpts we believe the AI will be about
00:00:35
individual empowerment and agency at a
00:00:37
scale that we've never seen before and
00:00:39
that will Elevate Humanity to a scale
00:00:40
that we've never seen before either
00:00:42
we're excited to see what you all will
00:00:43
do with this technology and to discover
00:00:45
the new future that we're all going to
00:00:46
architect together blah blah blah blah
00:00:48
blah love that Sam Alman but honestly it
00:00:50
sounds like the App Store on super on on
00:00:53
steroids essentially that's what's
00:00:55
happening here they're becoming a
00:00:56
platform that's what jumped out at me
00:00:58
about this announcement um a number of
00:01:00
people on X were comparing Sim mman to
00:01:02
Steve Jobs after that presentation I
00:01:03
would agree but it was the app store
00:01:05
that's what it seemed to be and they're
00:01:06
becoming a platform um what do you think
00:01:09
uh I I think you're right but the App
00:01:11
Store is arguably one of the most
00:01:12
valuable businesses in the world exactly
00:01:14
yeah it's the new app store and as
00:01:16
someone who spent or my team spent a
00:01:18
couple months trying to figure out how
00:01:20
to build a prop g. and then basically
00:01:22
now anyone can do it by just going to
00:01:24
the platform I think we should have
00:01:25
waited two or three months um look it it
00:01:29
kind kind of I I was blown away by this
00:01:32
and it indicates why software continues
00:01:34
and Technology continues to every year
00:01:37
grab more and more of the world's GDP
00:01:38
and that is they said okay we're
00:01:41
massively upgrading the product you can
00:01:43
now upload enormous amounts of data for
00:01:47
for these llms to analyze we have
00:01:50
decided we're taking out fear we're
00:01:53
giving you umbrella protection liability
00:01:56
from any copyright infringement which I
00:01:58
thought was extraordinary I'm on the
00:02:00
board I'm on the board of uh mayatech
00:02:03
startup section and the CEO uploaded the
00:02:06
board deck to to uh chat GPT 4 4.5 and
00:02:10
said act uh in the voice of an
00:02:13
aggressive growth board member um give
00:02:17
me feedback and ask me questions and the
00:02:19
questions it came back with were were
00:02:22
chilling they were so insightful and I
00:02:27
mean they kind of provoked an
00:02:28
interesting conversation at the board
00:02:30
level it was like we had another board
00:02:31
member in the room and while they're
00:02:33
doing all this while they're offering
00:02:36
custom you know chatbots the ability to
00:02:39
make these things more relevant they've
00:02:41
updated the input or the the news up
00:02:44
until April they've updated the amount
00:02:45
of data they're scraping up until or
00:02:47
current events up until April they
00:02:49
dramatically lowered the costs and this
00:02:52
is the key difference between technology
00:02:55
and every other business businesses
00:02:58
measure their power and their Lev
00:02:59
leverage by Management's ability to
00:03:02
raise prices and since whatever you want
00:03:05
to call it Mo's law the castal and
00:03:08
technology is let's massively upgrade
00:03:10
the product and let's lower prices if
00:03:13
this had been a consumer company that
00:03:15
said we've dramatically improved the
00:03:17
quality of this car this scarf this soda
00:03:21
this streaming media platform the
00:03:23
immediate next sentence would be as a
00:03:25
result we're raising prices 15% because
00:03:28
we have the margin power instead these
00:03:30
guys say the products incred is just
00:03:34
distinctly better and we're massively
00:03:36
cutting costs I was I was totally blown
00:03:38
away by this thing I think the move to
00:03:40
the platform is the power move you know
00:03:42
these he he is going to have this
00:03:45
chatbot App Store um it's a consumer
00:03:47
business model it's very it's it's it's
00:03:49
a Steve Jobs Playbook um they will
00:03:52
compete with apple and Microsoft
00:03:54
although satchin Adela um by the way
00:03:57
Microsoft invested $ 13 billion in in
00:03:59
the I smart investment by SAA Adella he
00:04:02
made a surprise appearance at the
00:04:03
conference uh very happy with that
00:04:05
partnership saying you guys have built
00:04:06
something magical the word magical is an
00:04:08
apple word that's how you talk about
00:04:09
Steve Jobs um he this copyright Shield
00:04:12
he talked about was also important which
00:04:15
or opena would cover legal costs for
00:04:16
copyright suits which are are common um
00:04:19
companies offer similar protection over
00:04:21
IP claims including IBM Microsoft Amazon
00:04:24
Getty Images in Adobe uh it'll be
00:04:26
interesting um Alman said in his Keynote
00:04:29
the products the company is currently
00:04:31
launching are going to look very quaint
00:04:32
compared to what's coming um interesting
00:04:35
thing to say but you could see the
00:04:36
directions these are going in and he
00:04:38
will repair the problems that the App
00:04:42
Store had which is dominance he's he's
00:04:44
going to have to be paying attention to
00:04:46
where Apple went arai including feeling
00:04:49
like they're they're they're a monopoly
00:04:52
um he's certainly going to have to deal
00:04:54
with that um but he's got he's got a uh
00:04:56
he's got a map of someone else's
00:04:58
successful launch
00:05:00
um so this to me is the it really is the
00:05:03
App Store of this era that's I don't see
00:05:06
there's any other way of looking at it
00:05:07
yeah and I'm hopeful that Sam mman
00:05:09
becomes the foil and young young men and
00:05:11
women and stock analysts and the media
00:05:13
start comparing him to Elon Musk and say
00:05:15
you can be a Visionary you can come up
00:05:18
with you can change the world and it
00:05:20
doesn't necessarily mandate that you're
00:05:21
an
00:05:22
and I think we need that I think
00:05:25
unfortunately the the legacy of Steve
00:05:27
Jobs not being an especially kind person
00:05:29
in certain moments he wasn't a public
00:05:31
he was not a he was not he was
00:05:34
inspirational I AG I I agree Cara he's
00:05:37
he he comes I I know you were friends
00:05:39
with him I'm not friends with him I knew
00:05:40
him okay but he comes off as warm and
00:05:42
cuddly compared to musk but he also
00:05:45
anyways I'm not going to post a
00:05:46
dead man I don't think he was a great
00:05:48
role model for CEOs and I speak from
00:05:51
experience in that when I was growing up
00:05:53
in Tech in the90s we all thought that
00:05:55
acting like an and being harsh
00:05:56
on your employees was an indication of
00:05:58
genius and that was largely because of
00:06:00
our idolatry of Steve Jobs and Elon Musk
00:06:03
has now said you not only have to be an
00:06:05
to your co-workers you need to
00:06:06
be a mendacious weird person accusing
00:06:09
people of sex crimes of not paying
00:06:11
Severance I mean he's taken it to an
00:06:13
entirely different level and that Trend
00:06:16
needs to be reversed and I'm hopeful
00:06:18
that Sam Alman will have the same type
00:06:20
of credibility as a Visionary as someone
00:06:22
who creates hundreds of billions of
00:06:24
dollars in shareholder value while being
00:06:26
a thoughtful kind person that cares
00:06:28
about the Commonwealth we need a
00:06:30
contrast here we need a solvent of foil
00:06:34
as Zig when this guy musk is zagging and
00:06:37
I hope that Sam Alman I would agree I I
00:06:39
wouldn't compare musk with jobs ever not
00:06:42
not at all s similar but not the same uh
00:06:44
but we could we could argue that look at
00:06:45
the photograph on the cover of Walter
00:06:47
isaacson's books yes I get that he's
00:06:50
trying musk is trying to do that he is
00:06:52
nothing like Steve Jobs let me just say
00:06:54
yep I agree but one of the things um
00:06:57
that I would say is that there are push
00:06:59
push backs against uh Sam Alman and
00:07:02
others including Microsoft Apple
00:07:04
everyone else in that the there's a real
00:07:06
push back from other VCS from other
00:07:09
startups that aren't that don't get
00:07:11
funded by the big companies that a lot
00:07:12
of this push for regulation a lot of
00:07:14
their dominance is to is to preserve
00:07:16
their is to ring fence it and so there
00:07:19
can't that these these startups cannot
00:07:22
compete and I would say that's something
00:07:23
they need to pay attention to it's a
00:07:25
ring fence it yeah yeah they want to win
00:07:28
complet Now versus in the in the in the
00:07:31
marketplace of ideas I think that is
00:07:34
going to be an increasing issue open
00:07:36
source versus this versus Sam being sort
00:07:39
of the the the face of the establishment
00:07:43
I guess and I think there's going to be
00:07:45
a lot of fighting over that of where
00:07:47
regulation is going I think Sam has the
00:07:49
upper hand and has endeared himself to
00:07:51
regulators and so I regulation is coming
00:07:53
and should but people are worried about
00:07:56
that and I think we have to pay
00:07:57
attention to that because he's so
00:07:58
appealing um that it's he has an
00:08:01
advantage what AI apps would you like to
00:08:03
see them develop oh I don't know
00:08:05
anything I that's the thing is how could
00:08:06
you have thought up Uber how could you
00:08:07
have thought about like bad apps and
00:08:09
good apps I just couldn't have thought
00:08:10
them up I don't know everything
00:08:12
everything an app on I don't know if you
00:08:15
like succession if you like you know
00:08:17
everything about succession everything
00:08:18
about it's like a super search it's
00:08:21
super Google I you know what I mean like
00:08:23
Google should have done this essentially
00:08:24
but didn't for lots of reasons um you
00:08:28
could but Google doesn't you know people
00:08:29
who have content have have an advantage
00:08:31
here like Professor G right or Martha a
00:08:35
remember Martha Stewart when I
00:08:36
interviewed her talked about Marth AI I
00:08:38
think that makes sense she has so much
00:08:40
amazing content and you could turn it
00:08:41
into like who knows I I have no idea
00:08:45
people are going to be very creative I
00:08:46
think I'm
00:08:47
excited it's the next step it's the
00:08:50
absolute next step for this stuff and
00:08:51
there'll be a billion of them so that's
00:08:53
good we'll see we'll see who yeah I I
00:08:56
think I think there's a a a really big
00:08:58
opportunity and someone told me that Sam
00:09:00
listens to this uh show I think there's
00:09:03
a huge opportunity if he really wants to
00:09:06
show that he has concern about the
00:09:07
Commonwealth I think one in healthc care
00:09:10
yeah he's interested in that for sure
00:09:11
I'm convinced the third of America is so
00:09:14
intimidated underinsured lacks knowledge
00:09:17
that their lump in their breast turns
00:09:19
into full metastatic breast cancer that
00:09:22
they end up with a a melanoma that could
00:09:24
have been treated yes that they have um
00:09:28
uh you know depression that is that is
00:09:30
really starting to harm their lives I
00:09:32
think that putting out in concert with
00:09:35
the na you know the National Institute
00:09:37
for health the American Pediatric
00:09:38
Association medical journals get doctors
00:09:41
involved I think this is a huge
00:09:43
opportunity to pre to push preventive
00:09:45
Health Care out to the corners of the U
00:09:47
I mean I'm wealthy and I like to think
00:09:49
fairly educated I have trouble accessing
00:09:52
health care it's just can you imagine
00:09:54
what it's like for a poor single mother
00:09:56
to try and like I feel a lump in my
00:09:58
breast yeah every body does okay who do
00:10:00
I call how much it's going to cost me
00:10:02
should I be worried should I not be
00:10:03
worried the amount of stress my child
00:10:05
has diabetes I don't I mean there's such
00:10:08
a big opportunity I also think um around
00:10:10
relationships specifically around young
00:10:13
men but an opportunity to work with um
00:10:17
psychiatrist psychologists adolescent
00:10:19
psychologists and offer and then work
00:10:21
with uh mentors and big brothers of
00:10:24
America to try try and start pairing
00:10:27
young men with the right resources and
00:10:29
job training and uh reinforcing
00:10:32
messaging and offline help to try and
00:10:35
really attack um uh suicidal ideation
00:10:39
and self harm among young boys and girls
00:10:41
there's just a ton of things that could
00:10:42
be done here it's going to be a ton of
00:10:44
things this is going to be Wellspring of
00:10:46
creativity well I I think it's just
00:10:48
someone has to do it I think there will
00:10:50
be a lot of push back on them being the
00:10:52
Apple version of this the Apple Store of
00:10:54
this we'll see we'll see where it goes
00:10:56
um there's certainly plenty of
00:10:57
competition from The Bigs but let's hope
00:10:59
there's a lot of competition everywhere
00:11:01
and we don't again coales into single
00:11:03
powerful organizations which seems to be
00:11:05
the way things
00:11:10
work
