Episode notes

Chat GPT is a project of open eye. It's about a week old, maybe two weeks at this point. The CEO is Sam Altman, who has is a pasty contact guest when he was the head of the Y Combinator. A lot of people have been blown away by chat GPT. But it also does some rather extraordinary things, which we'll talk about.

Economist and author Arnold Kling talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the recent drama in the tech world--Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter, the collapse of FTX, and the appearance of ChatGPT. Underlying topics discussed include the potential for price discrimination to make social media profitable, whether you could tell Jeff Bezos from Sam Bankman-Fried early on, and the role of human beings in the world of artificial intelligence.
