Transcript context

…lawsuit where there was no grounds to be had because they actually just used a voice actress that sounded like Scarlett Johansson. Um, uh, is unfortunate because we could have had it and we, we don't. So that's what it is and that's what the consensus seems to be from the people I talk to. Uh, people be pining for the Scarlett Johansson voice. In June, Apple announced Apple Intelligence at WWDC. Um, and, um, we haven't, most of us, if you update your phones, have it now if you're on an iPhone. And I would say it's, like, decent. You know, like, I think it wasn't the game [01:29:00] changer thing that caused the Apple stock to rise, like, 20%. And just because everyone was, like, going to upgrade their iPhones just to get Apple Intelligence, it did not become that. But, um, Um, it, it is the, uh, probably the largest scale rollout of transformers yet, um, after Google rolled out BERT for search and, um, and people are using it and it's a 3B, you know, foundation model that's running locally on your phone with Loras that are hot swaps and we have papers for it. Honestly, Apple did a fantastic job of doing the best that they can. They're not the most transparent company in the world and nobody expects them to be, but, um, they gave us. More than I think we normally get for Apple tech, and that's very nice for the research community as well. NVIDIA, I think we continue to talk about, I think I was at the Taiwanese trade show, Comtex, and saw him signing, you know, You know, women body [01:30:00] parts. And I think that was maybe a sign of the times, maybe a sign that things have peaked, but things are clearly not peaked because they continued going. Ilya, and then, and then that bridges us back into the episode recording. I'm going to stop now and stop yapping. But, uh, Yeah, we, you know, we recorded a whole bunch of stuff. We lost it and we're scrambling to re record it for you, but also we're trying to close the chapter on 2024. So, uh, now I'm going to cut back to the recording where we talk about the rest of June, July, August, September, and the second half of 2024 is news. And we'll end the episode there. Ilya came out from the woodwork, raised a billion dollars. Dan Gross seems to have now become full time CEO of the company, which is interesting. I thought he was going to be an investor for life, but now he's operating. He was an investor for a short amount of time. What else can we say about Ilya? I think [01:31:00] this idea that you only ship one product and it's a straight shot at superintelligence seems like a really good focusing mission, but then it runs counter to basically both Tesla and OpenAI in terms of the ship intermediate products that get you to that vision. OpenAI now needs then more money because they need to support those products and I think maybe their bet is like 1 billion we can get to the thing. Like we don't want to have to have intermediate steps, like we're just making it clear that like this is what it's about. Yeah, but then like where do you get your data? Yeah, totally. Um, so, so I think that's the question. I think we can also use this as part of a general theme of the safety wing of OpenAI leaving. It's fair to say that, you know, Yann Leclerc also left and, like, basically the entire super alignment team left.…
