Jim O'Shaughnessy: Today is a very, very special Infinite Loops that we are going to drop as a bonus podcast. My guest today is Imad Mosak, the founder of open AI, of stability AI. I had been following Imad's work closely and finally met him in August of this year. And my reaction was to instantly invest in his company and after some back and forth, agreeing to be the executive chairman of stabilityAI. We'll talk all about open first close, etc.
Emad Mostaque is the founder and CEO of Stability AI, the company behind Stable Diffusion. Emad joins Stability AI’s recently announced Executive Chair of the board of directors Jim O’Shaughnessy to discuss the future of AI, the benefits of open source software, and much more. Important Links:
