A dinner club met to discuss how they can improve downtown san francisco. The theory is many of the commercial buildings are never gonna reach max capacity again. An analysis done by an architecture firm said vacant offices could be remodeled into 11 000 living units.
Jason breaks down an AI experiment conducted by Google and Stanford researchers, where they created a simulated Sims-like video game with characters driven by AI (2:27). Then, he discusses Bloomberg announcing its own financially-focused LLM and what it means for analysts (21:58). He wraps with two quick hits about San Francisco’s dire commercial real estate situation and the collapse of an instant delivery startup (37:51).
