He would have paid every dime he has to become just even an influencer. Your giving HIM too much credit. It is his money.

Chris, I do the same, dual tracks where I maintain a high-fidelity vision Figma and the other, what do we need to do today Figma. People think I'm crazy because my vision is not easy to create, but to me, if you can't create a detailed vision of where you think you're going, then you how can you really create the building blocks

Great episode, fairly balanced and pragmatic which I like. John is great too, big fan of his approach. Some trolling from Chris on the waterfall = planning / thinking / vision but it came good in the end ;) Yaniv, some great balance and pragmatism! +1 for an episode on startup / product strategy - vision and planning!!

Great stuff! John's got great chemistry with the hosts

I've been using CapCut on my PC for video editing, and I find it incredibly useful. The interface is user-friendly, and it offers a wide range of editing tools that make my videos look professional. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to edit videos efficiently!

I'm not convinced UBI will be a thing. In the "good" scenario, we'll be post-economic-competition. The AI takes care of the bottom couple of layers of Maslow's hierarchy and assists us with the layers "belonging and love" and up. Money for resource allocation becomes pointless because it's as valuable as an emoji. Whatever is to be allocated becomes a discussion with the AI, who couldn't care less about money but has the ability to do/make/transport according to our needs and wants. This presumably works for an infinitely growing population, on multiple planets. We explore science and the universe with the AI. When we're bored, we recreate 20'th earth in VR to experience the struggle of finding each other before cellphones. Kids become very tired of "when I was young" discussions. We finally get proper hoverboards, as foretold in the prophesies.

The CEO of Crowdstrike was also the CTO of McAfee when they had a similar blue screen of death global event too from an update which then required a manual fix to repair. Seems like a pattern of quality control failures.

are you guys based in the US?

It is amazing to me that this channel only has 1500 subscribers on TH-cam.

These people are so delusional to not see the political arm of the government continuing to come at trump. There is a reason Everytime government agencies attempt to throw him in prison he goes up in the polls. And frankly most people currently in the USA would love to see him do the same thing to them. They tried removing trump from the ballot, then they tried to throw him in prison, and lastly tried killing him. Also the guy who shot trump registered as a republican to vote against trump in the primaries. It’s common in the USA, I have friends who vote for trump but registered as democrats to vote against Hillary in the previous primaries. Also the shooter gave money to a far left political group. Apparently shooting a front runner for the presidency isn’t political according to these people 😂🤣

theodore roosevelt lost the election after he got shot.

What a waste of time

From how things are unfolding, to me it seems like Elon Musk is eyeing the presidential role for 2028 and his SV bffs are in on it. He purchased a social network where he can spread ‘his word’ megaphoned (literally amplified 1000x according to ex-employees) and uncontested. He changed his persona from visionary to essentially troll. Built a cult around him and it is probably very aligned with Trump’s MAGA base. Elon’s actions to me show that he is doing all he can to ‘be handed the MAGA banner’ from Trump when his upcoming term is over. Musk technically cannot run for office, but the supreme court can still allow it, and the supreme court is in Trump’s pocket. He is also an obvious follow up to trump in both personality and background (troll billionaire essentially) He is essentially helicoptering money to all MAGA causes/victims/events under the disguise of doing it for free speech / for america and all maga and republicans are rallying behind his money wall. In reality he is clutching to the most easily deceivable voter base. All you need to do is go on X and see what a cesspit it’s become of republican propaganda, misinformation, conspiracy theories and ultimately deception. It’s actually worrying how things might unfold - if techpreneurs’ goal is to take over the whitehouse, politics in the west as we know it will have a fundamental shift. Not to say it’s anywhere near perfect right now, but the ‘Paypal Mafia’ / billionaires are not who you want in the drivers seat.

These guys seem so out of touch, democrats have demonised republicans for years, they are calling trump Hitler how do you thinknthat makes people feel?

Get the facts, jason calacanis hasnt come out supporting trump

Obviously you guys don’t care abt the censorship and propaganda going on for years and everyone not on your side is dangerous, racist and fascist…. That’s the real dangerous rhetoric

Really enjoyed your analysis 👍

This was an interesting discussion. This might seem random but I swear has a purpose, I’m also Australian so not American but similar systems (with some notable differences). But I think my confusion is how Americans describe what their culture or values are. People everywhere are driven to extremes of sides to hate each other to varying levels but even in Australia there’s an underlying culture, I thought I understood what this for America from an outsider perspective I guess to some level. I’m a lawyer so elements of the US legal system are much stronger than Australia’s, and that played into my view as it’s also put forward in public discussion in a simplified way. A lot of things make me think I have absolutely no idea what that is now in terms of values and culture that most ppl agree on, unless it’s just different versions of American exceptionalism lol but not towards each other kinda thing lol. I think the tech element to this is a lot of things I’d put in the cultural category are at risk of being victims of tech increasingly right now. I particularly am thinking of music kinda thing, tech companies taking over music discovery and promoting trash losing that creativity into the future. So I dont mean culture in terms of background Australia is also very diverse in backgrounds but the underlying culture as one example is like anyone in any side of ideological view will respect the Australian who brutally mocks the prime minister or a great example is the MVP of the country for a while who interrupted a press conference outside his house to tell the prime minister to get off his lawn because he just seeded it. Like the values of Australia despite the divisions no one actually thinks a politician is going to save them at this point, so if you can cut them down in a clever or brutal way the little ppl unite. Or another one during the AUKUS press conference with the US, UK and Aus, Biden quite clearly forgot the Aus PMs name and called him Pal lol. I saw discussion from American programs saying how disrespectful this was etc etc. but the whole of Australia on both sides found that fucking hilarious. I feel like Americans still think the guy on their side might save them and I don’t know what the broader values are that bring the little ppl together are lol

YOU'RE BOTH FULL OF SHIT

The exact same thing happened when Hitler took power all the wealthy backed him but as time went on they regretted their decisions. They need to stop this Trump will destroy this country

Ignorance, dialing down, the Democrats have the meanest rhetoric calling calling conservatives Nazis, facists and every nasty ism possible. You people are a joke, I am an independent and this was the first and last view…

Yeah going to have to watch this one

Love it 🎉

the nazi party was all but destroyed by 1946 (only bc you cannot destroy an idea per se).. vs. Israel seem to be committing genocide by way of expert observation of the events.... there is no argument against that because it is mostly fact... and there are so many instances of intended Jewish supremacy both in the Israel region and in countries where Jewish people are.. even if it is a reactionary item due to fear of what happens if Jewish people do not advance technology or do not accumulate resources.. this idea has seemed to exist in the fabric of the culture forever, both driving admirable outcomes and grief from cultures that by all respects generally are regarded within Jewish circles as "gentiles"... as far as i understand, if you go down the path of saying that Jews are insular and are generally hesitant to seriously engage with gentiles, it's anti-Semitic.. the entire culture is a loop in this way... it's mostly common sense it's like you have a child who in class says they have a secret or they are chosen by God, but they cannot share it with other children because they were chosen, and others cannot understand or be welcomed to share the burden (which the very fabric of Christianity is meant to alleviate).. and so the other kids becomes frustrated or jealous and choose to act out aggression on this child, and instead of making the conclusion that the child has evoked this reaction from others doubles down on the chosen by God / i have a secret rhetoric and instead chooses a second layer of identity that they are a victim and need allies that will befriend them without this person revealing what the secret is or without having to refute the statement that they are chosen by God.. it goes against the nature and curiosity of man and the desire for man to be at ease.. so to say there is no solution is like an addict refusing to give up the bottle in this way there are more-than-likely some major problems within Jewish communities that are mistrusting and also refuse to give up a portion of the identity even if the Talmud suggests to follow the local law to call such a set of claims anti-semitic is like the same child, addicted and insistent, now finding a way to attack the attacker that was only provoked by a natural set of provocations.. and when we evaluate the entire power structure of the leftist political groups, the victim culture, the dynamic to "uplift" minorities and fractionate populations.. it all starts to align with this same set of problems which seem uniquely Jewish.. and if a Jewish person is just going to shut down then that's fine the rest of humanity doesn't deserve to suffer for it.. if it is an inability to recognize an atrocity like the holocaust then it is up to the Jewish person to understand that a war was fought and millions of lives lost in part to stop a regime committing violence against Jews.. not acknowledging all of the suffering that was non-Jewish in the second world war is just as disrespectful and it happens all the time it's not about anti-semitism.. it's about the freedom for people to live in a world where that dichotomy doesn't matter or have any influence... it's about addressing the mental health issues of this entire backwards culture and hoping that this culture can do a better job of policing itself or i think we should crack open a big documentary on the entire thing, explore financial networks to analyze just how much Jews only do business with Jews, marry other Jews and all the dynamics of that.. and it'll be just as sick as what was done to the white male in western society.. because ultimately the attack on the white male was a desired thing by the Jewish group.. and it's a set of mental health issues... same as white fragility and all of that.. the more relevant question is if Jewish people have inherent conflict of interest to maintain any relative share of influence that they have culturally or to what extent a Jewish person culturally (in a relative sense, "scored" next to other cultures) is capable of caring for people that are not its own.. and this is not some item that applies to any particular group in the world over the course of history.. obviously with imperialism many suffered but we clearly can all see that to some extent the English language was highly successful like the US dollar likewise was highly successful as a global currency... and there may be no good answers.. but so long as Israel is committing genocide then we should relax the fears against what is and what is not anti-semitic and have some hard conversations before the Jewish brothers and sisters really do some harm in the world in the shell of their own pain to argue anything else prior to 1980 might have been to caretake for vulnerable minorities, now it would look more like arguing the greatness of the Chinese state in order to gain social credit points.. i fear the western society's have become like a digital Jewish run concentration camp i do not know that a Jewish person can properly be judge and jury and identify what is anti-semitic while maintaining such a claim that they are also chosen and also a victim.. and my god it all sounds like a bunch of histrionic narcissism to me!

Maybe they are silencing debate because there is simply no solution?

The Magna Carta first ruled that the king is not above the law in the 12th century. We’re travelling back in time in a bad way.

It is an interesting discussion, for some reason I am visualizing those empty cities in China. Sometimes investors and builders can go so fast the problem they are solving wasn’t fully understood

Millions of contract workers are disposable slaves, getting paid 2 cents per image tag to train AI to be another slave. I dont see any way this ends well for 99% of the population.

I expect immigration will increase because AI implementation and robotics will displace outsourcing as a way to reduce labor costs.

You know, I'm normally a huge fan of your content, but I gotta give you some critical feedback. I found this guest so unlikeable that I actually couldn't finish watching it. It makes me feel sad that somebody like this is in HR, holding people's careers in her hands. It would be good if you can have guests who are not only top of their craft, but are also humble and don't feel the need to swear unnecessarily every two sentences - it just feels so unprofessional and cringe.

I've watched a lot of your episodes, and I think that this is probably one of your best. Our psychology makes and breaks startups - have been struggling with this for months and finally got professional help to work through it this week. Thanks for normalising this and providing some great advice

Love this topic and it's something i thought about back when NYT was suing OpenAI. I initially thought smart contracts run on a blockchain to help govern micropayments for each scrape and tying that to whitelisted robots.txt but that doesn't stop anything as it's more a gentleman's agreement. Next level would be firewalls and server level Configs for IP based restrictions... In a world that is much more digital, we'll need this

Interesting

Jeff Bezos is a major investor in perplexity, so I think it's unlikely they would piss off Amazon. Having said that, nothing surprises me in this world.

Vr is completely useless for everything except for some forms of gaming and "adult content"😂 Like seriously it's just a technology everyone has been wanting SO BADLY for DECADES to be useful for anything, but it's not. It's just like Bitcoin where the only reason anyone cares about it, is the hope that one day in the future it'll stop being completely worthless and inferior to any other technology or alternative that does the main task at hand.

I love love your podcasts. Literally I have learnt so much and been following you from the beginning!

so many ads i tapped out of this video.

found you here, accessible, interesting, informative. will follow.

Anti-competitive behaviour can be where you take your profits from one industry and use it to undercut competition in another industry. Of course there are grey areas but continuously expanding their office product line until it includes things like chat, then giving away the chat feature for free or at steep discounts because of the bundling is anti-competitive regardless if the purchaser wants it or not. The reason this is bad behaviour is is because we know large corporations do this to snuff out competition so that they can then jack up prices. When the anti-competitive company gains market dominance they will wipe out any growing competition through buyouts or further anti-competitive tactics leading to less consumer choice. It's sad that the perception of anti-competitiveness is in such disarray where even in the 90s world governments would have shut down Microsoft long before their sales people got to the point of offering $10 million discounts on SQL licenses for forced teams adoption. Worth adding, this doesn't have anything to do with product offerings or being well integrated, it's purely about large monopolies deploying capital to shut down competition. We used to break up companies which became too diversified into different business interests, we need to get back to those days. I think part of the problem is we see companies as people and breaking them up feels wrong. They're not people though, they're a collection of financial interests, and that makes them very fungible. A trait we don't exploit the way we should. Don't worry, your start up is safe, until it's turning over a significant percentage of the revenue of the market segment it's in and the founders are (probably) billionaires. edit: The only thing I really took visceral offense at was implying Teams is an 8/10 product. edit 2: (yes I'm watching this and providing commentary) - just chuckled a bit about how great a platform company Microsoft is for letting you (amongst other things) choose your browser in Windows - the United States sued Microsoft for anti-trust and part of the settlement was forcing them to allow users install whatever browser they wanted on Windows. edit 3: The reason Microsoft got hit by anti-trust and not Apple is because anti-competitiveness isn't about the products you build, it's the market dominance you exploit to gain unfair advantages. PMs should PM (I have thoughts about PMs) and Microsoft should Microsoft, just like government should govern.

Bulky. Not practical to bring outside the house so it’s essentially another gadget that’s just relegated for home use, unlike the iPhone or Apple Watch or AirPods. If you notice all three are successful because it can be taken outside with ease. The concept is compelling, but any smart eyeglasses have to be designed just like any regular eyeglasses that people can wear without bringing too much attention to themselves. Google glasses also failed because of the design. Good concept but unless one is a complete nerd, no one would like to be seen with a frame around their head with a device attached to it.

Lol price 😂

They're just putting lore down so they can name the main set the 🍎VisionAir

The same with crypto and still

You could use this logic with the internet in the early days ….. Co-pilot is well used btw

commercial real estate is moaning supports less back to office. Cannot imagine going back. VR is dead and irrelevant in business. Saw it twice in pro application and it was nice to have, not "you gotta try it".

anything more than glasses and earbuds sucks. It is just an absolute homo sapien, take it to the bank ergonomics rule. Possibilities exist but with a huge chunk of potential customers cutoff and unrecoverable That means no VR, and super limited AR with just up illumination/no light seal goggles. Time, texts, arrows....postage stamp low quality 640x480 movie view, mega low quality unless in low light. It is what it is. We live in a world full of people stupid enough to thumbs up brain surgery for better mouse usage for a healthy body.

Wow! This thing got heated!

Safety mechanisms have holes, but safety principles can be carried through the process. I don't know if Altman has solid safety principles yet, I suspect his approach to safety comes through exclusivity.

For some context, I’m a moderate that leans right as of late… but on the DEI front, quick point to make here: Amir (and partially Yaniv) disregarded the current definition of “diversity” in the U.S. as it stands today and spoke to “diversity of thought” instead… That’s not what anyone means when they say diversity, and I think we need to admit that. DEI professionals & departments at companies/corporations, along with the average progressive, are distinctly talking about diversity of color/race. One might think ethnicity is included here, but it’s far from the truth; when progressives and DEI leaders speak in broad strokes of White vs Black, they’re throwing out the entire contexts of ethnicity, culture and… yes, diversity of thought too. Because to say “Blacks think this way” and “Whites think this way” is so embarrassingly reductionist (and I’d add it’s belittling & patronizing) to massive groups of people that ARE incredibly diverse within those poorly-labeled groups. Are there prejudices that exist in the U.S. today? Of course. I don’t deny that. But why do you think affirmative action never worked? Why are schools that adopted that policy now struggling to keep the avg student scores up? Why are companies now nixing DEI depts? It’s because they’re favoring some non-existent ideal ratio of color:color/race:race instead of meritocracy, and it shows in the bottom line. It’s because there’s no good study or statistics today that say DEI “works” or shows progress for anyone involved, and in some ways has shown negative impact. This isn’t the mid 1900s anymore, there’s a TON of progress as far as women and minority groups; we are a long way from the country we once were. I do agree that it gets political like Yaniv said but for the reason that people are still blindly accepting that DEI is a “good thing” without ever listening to arguments on the other side (diversity of thought, perhaps?) and instead calling it racist or MAGA to shut down convos. Yes, this happens. I’ve heard it and seen it myself. Anyway… sorry for the rant. I do love you guys and the pod. Keep it up, even the topics that make me go off a little. 😆
