Episode notes

I just don't see how in the next 10 years, this is not going to be an iPhone of personal AI. And I think whoever built that, that's 100% hundreds of billions of dollars is going to be a new iPhone for the people. It will be a personal AI that people use. Things like CHEDGIP-T will be integrated and, you know, search and some other platforms that we're already using,. But I think, if we talk about it personally, it will have to have a few human form or some sort of an anthropomorphic form. That's just such a human, natural human thing.

We're hiring across the board at Turpentine and for Erik's personal team on other projects he's incubating. He's hiring a Chief of Staff, EA, Head of Special Projects, Investment Associate, and more. For a list of JDs, check out: eriktorenberg.com.

RECOMMENDED PODCAST:

The HR industry is at a crossroads. What will it take to construct the next generation of incredible businesses – and where can people leaders have the most business impact? Hosts Nolan Church and Kelli Dragovich have been through it all, the highs and the lows – IPOs, layoffs, executive turnover, board meetings, culture changes, and more. With a lineup of industry vets and experts, Nolan and Kelli break down the nitty-gritty details, trade offs, and dynamics of constructing high performing companies. Through unfiltered conversations that can only happen between seasoned practitioners, Kelli and Nolan dive deep into the kind of leadership-level strategy that often happens behind closed doors. Check out the first episode with the architect of Netflix’s culture deck Patty McCord.
