Episode notes

The question of how many restaurant inspectors it takes to change a light bulb cannot be answered with a simple number. To understand the answer, we must first consider the context in which it is asked. Without these answers, the question can only be answered in the abstract and is ultimately unanswerable. GBD4 will massively speed your ability to do these things, and with greater breadth and scope. Within a few years, this co-pilot will fall somewhere between useful and essential to most professional workers.

Audio version of the introduction to Greylock general partner Reid Hoffman’s latest book, entitled “Impromptu: Amplifying Humanity Through AI."

Impromptu was co-written by Hoffman and ChatGPT-4, OpenAI’s latest and most powerful large language model. The book aims to serve as a sort of “travelog” of Hoffman’s experience with GPT-4, as he explores the tool’s strengths and limitations. Through hundreds of prompts, Hoffman and GPT-4 discuss the potential advantages and drawbacks of AI, argue about human nature, conceive original sci fi plots, and even try to make a few jokes. As AI is quickly advancing, Hoffman hopes his book can serve as a guide to encourage people to learn more about the technology, consider how we might use it, and ponder the complex questions about how our choices might play out in the future.
