Jim Fan: belief

Transcript context

…things are going. It's fascinating. Cool, I probably should let you all go, but thank you so much for jumping on. Thank you everyone. Thanks, this was really fun. Alright, that was part one of this very long OpenAI Dev Day episode, but I promise you it'll be worth it, because part two is some of my favorite work that I've done in audio form. So, I basically carried a microphone around, and when I ran into someone that I wanted to interview, I just paused them and asked them for five minutes. And the first is someone that we haven't yet scheduled on the pod, but we've been extremely friendly with. It's Junfan, everyone. Junfan from the... landmark Voyager paper and more recently, the Eureka paper all of which comes out of his work at NVIDIA and advising at Stanford. So on top of actually leading a group of researchers, he's also very good on Twitter, and I think that is a very useful skill to have because you can communicate the value of your work to a wide audience, and that is something that we also aspire to do at Alien Space Pod. Don't worry. So basically just kind of hold it and then whenever you're talking just kind of hold it up. Sure, okay. The microphone's right here. Oh, it's on DJI? Yeah. Amazing, okay. The microphone's right here. I just talk? Yeah, just talk. So yeah, it's good to see you. Good to see you, Shawn, yeah. So great. Always wanted to get you on the podcast. And then, like, never got around to scheduling you in the studio, but since we're at events, like, this is the big one. This is the best event to have the podcast in. So thanks for having me. Yeah, yeah and I also saw you've been tweeting us some stuff. Like, what's the most interesting to you so far? I think a couple of things. Like, one is kind of the economy of scale. Yeah. Cheap. The GP four and GP three APIs have become, I think that's gonna be a game changer. So I just did a back of envelope calculation, like if you feed the entire Harry Potter books, like all I saw that seven books into GT four, it's gonna cost only like $15 to read all of them and double check. Yeah. Okay. And $45 to write all of them. And that is just crazy. And you can have GB four, right? It's gonna be better than 3.5. And the other thing is GPT 4v API is also available. And if you feed all of Harry Potter's like, you know, eight movies into it, that's gonna be like 20 hours. Frame by frame, you know, one frame per second. It's only gonna cost 180 to watch all of these movies at 360p resolution, right? So this economy of scale is crazy, and I think that's really hard for other companies to beat. Yeah. Yeah. Is it a surprise to you this... The rates at which they've been bringing down their pricing. I'm not…
