I never had a trust of crypto, but this I do believe. But sometimes showing up can be correlated with having an agenda. Maybe. It's hard to know. And so I'm happy that they're doing it. They know who showed up a lot in DC, who? In the crypto world. Well, Sam Bagman-Free. Yeah, I get it. But these people are not Sam Bagman. The other day, someone was worried about AI to me,. And I literally said to them, are you still churning your butter? How’s that working out for you? You said that to me about autonomous people. Are you telling me a story about it
After Kara and Nayeema debate the pros and cons of AI personal assistants vs. human personal assistants vs. fake personal assistants, we turn to Mustafa Suleyman, the man who co-founded DeepMind. Now, he and his co-founders Reid Hoffman and Karén Simonyan have started Inflection AI, a startup that creates “personal AIs,” and they're launching with a chatbot called Pi.
Kara talks to Mustafa about whether or not Pi is "woke," the conversion of Suleyman’s former colleague, Geoffrey Hinton, and — oh yes — AI’s potential to destroy humanity.
BTW, in lieu of personal AI, you can reach out to Kara and Nayeema for advice on your burning questions regarding your career, love, life or anything else. Call 1-888-KARA-PLZ and leave us a voicemail.
