Episode notes

The advancement of technology has eroded trust in media, starting from the era of Photoshop. With the evolution of technology, people need to be increasingly cautious not only about photos but also videos and voice recordings. The concerns raised by these advancements are valid, and the cultural and societal responses to these challenges will vary. While different countries may have varying approaches to freedom of speech and the regulations surrounding it, the core issue lies in the misuse of powerful tools by individuals against each other. Despite the potential risks posed by AI, there is no significant probability of an entirely new existential threat. It is crucial to focus on creating a positive vision for the future, as envisioning a desirable future scenario is becoming a rare commodity in today's world.

In this episode, Nathan sits down with Richard Socher, CEO and Founder of You.com, a personalized AI search assistant. They discuss the rise of the AI chatbot paradigm and how that's changed the game for search, You.com's various modes, with particular emphasis on Genius mode and above all Research mode, and much more.
