I don't understand the need to build AI system for corporations to prevent individuals from using AI to game the AI systems used by corporations. Why stack so much against the individual?

Great conversation, thanks! My suspicious is that Boomer capital is driving quality down in many businesses, especially big established brands like Forbes. Be prepared to see a lot of turbulence in the coming decade as Boomer capital exits and a lot of these zombified companies go bust.

erik is looking extra relaxed in this episode

excellent

Can we start paying politicians $5m/yr so that we can get some people like Byrne in positions of power and legislation.

Curious about Byrne’s take on what is going on in Japan right now

Nice, no Erik

Thanks!

Really sharp pod. Keep them coming!

The party analogy is mind blowing. Really appreciate your fresh perspectives on the topics covered.

Threads is like a sanitized version of a Las Vegas pool party. And NO ONE wants that 😂

He references populist presidents and how they tend to govern. Andrew Jackson was considered a populist president. Are there any others besides Donald Trump?

Did you know that optimizing your tags can greatly improve your reach? If you’re looking to grow your channel faster, I'd be happy to offer a SEO audit for your videos.

43:09 in terms of security, the NSA has the worlds best offensive capabilities. Large US tech companies generally have the better defensive ones. But it’s definitely an open question how seriously the current set of AI startups take their responsibilities there. That being said, nationalizing the labs is just conceding defeat. Why would any competent researcher stay instead of going to some other private company where they can make a competitive wage and own some of the upside from their work?

Erik, with all due respect, please, breath and slow down when you speak. You're a smart guy and have smart guests, I like to hear the takes, but it's frankly frustrating listen to you trip up over every sentence. It's not taking the listener into account. For someone who's trying to do so much spoken media, you could increase the quality of your speaking to level up all your podcasts.

Much better audio quality. Thanks, Byrne.

Byrne, I like all your videos. I think you could have a pretty large audience, but you should look into getting a better microphone. I can't think of any popular podcast that doesn't have great audio quality.

Byrne's take on AI education is spot on. Interest and IQ are the bottleneck in math education and AI tutoring is not going to solve this.

Which podcast does he say at 39:18?

Good episode. Potato bit was interesting. Tiger was in that?!?

Here's to all the outliers. We don't matter. 🎉

Loving this podcast network🎉

This was interesting but I wish the title question was explored more. My answer to the question is that you should focus on a single niche, conquer it, and then slowly expand. Don’t try to build an empire at once.

Listening to this now. Very relevant to my current work. Thanks guys.

You experience difficulties with organic channel monetization, organic views, and revenue because of this. These are the problems I discovered: Your videos do not have a title, description, video tag, channel tag, or video SEO applied to them. Your TH-cam channel is not expanding for this reason. If you completely tailor your channel, there's a chance the video can become viral

The spliff. Two complementary personalities.

Great talk.

I look back to Erik’s April 2021 thread a lot

Got here from the long read on substack and I have to say the deepness of analysis and the quality and amount of material. Everytime. Keep up the good work, good analysis is actually hard to find

Thomas is great. I love Daloopa.

Hey you guys I know Tom too! Daloopa is super cool.

The Turpentine revolution continues! Good stuff @Erik

First to the party! Huge fan Erik, I’m sure this will be another great one! I had my YT algo recommend MoZ episode 1 and have seen nearly every episode Turpentine has put out. If you ever want to do something with your network fans, count me in as an anchor tenant!
