I think the AI personal assistant for everything you do is, I think, upon us. We might be looking at it where it says, hey, ask Tyler this question or ask, read this question. It's one of the reasons why accelerating to a safer future is important. And so I think that'll be there for all of it. Now, will it be, I actually think we're quite some ways away from where you and me will send each of our AI assistants to do this podcast chat? I think we'll still be here.
In his second appearance, Reid Hoffman joined Tyler to talk everything AI: the optimal liability regime for LLMs, whether there’ll be autonomous money-making bots, which agency should regulate AI, how AI will affect the media ecosystem and the communication of ideas, what percentage of the American population will eschew it, how gaming will evolve, whether AI’s future will be open-source or proprietary, the binding constraint preventing the next big step in AI, which philosopher has risen in importance thanks to AI, what he’d ask a dolphin, what LLMs have taught him about friendship, how higher education will change, and more. They also discuss Sam Altman’s overlooked skill, the biggest cultural problem in America, the most underrated tech scene, and what he’ll do next.
