Unsupervised Learning with Jacob Effron
00:58:50 · Diogo, Jacob Effron
I'm very open to being convinced by evidence, but I I think that it's more of, a philosophical problem rather than a technological one. The kinds of people who, like, read, like, a Bostrom's superintelligence and treat it like reality over, like, a very interesting sci fi book makes makes me kind of worried. [00:59:09] S0: Yeah. Well, this has been a fascinating conversation. I thought we covered a a ton of things. I wanna make sure to leave the last word to you. Like, anything you wanna point our listeners to... I mean, I'm sure they're all familiar with, and certainly by the end of this podcast, certainly hope they are. But, like, anything we haven't discussed or... I don't know. The floor is yours.

[00:59:09] S0: Yeah. Well, this has been a fascinating conversation. I thought we covered a a ton of things. I wanna make sure to leave the last word to you. Like, anything you wanna point our listeners to... I mean, I'm sure they're all familiar with, and certainly by the end of this podcast, certainly hope they are. But, like, anything we haven't discussed or... I don't know. The floor is yours. [00:59:24] S1: There's so much stuff to have happened in software plus AI. I think it'll be so fucking incredible. I think that we need to start untraining ourselves of this lack of agency that LLMs have kind of taught us about AI and start really building again. Like like, there's... You you you know, like, there's so many possibilities that are gonna be opened up, and we should get back to playing rather than being, like, these victims of stuff. And I will do whatever we can to make, you know, playable AI. But it's... I I really want... Oh, man. I have, like, so much to say here. I I feel like I I will be doing whatever I can for the field to, like, have this opportunity to just rethink software, rethink interfaces, rethink everything. But it's gonna require, like, real builders to figure out how to do that. And I think that together, we can make AI this really awesome force for good and creation and just all around awesomeness. You know? Like, and and and sometimes even, like, really weird, wacky stuff. I I feel like that that... That's where, like, technology really shines.

[01:00:33] S0: I'm Jacob Effron, and this has been Unsupervised Learning, a podcast where I get to talk to the smartest people in AI and ask them tons of questions about what's happening with models and what it means for businesses in the world. As I hope is clear, I have a ton of fun doing this. It's a nights and weekends project in addition to my day job as an investor at Redpoint, but our ability to get these incredible guests on really comes from folks like you subscribing to the podcast, sharing it with friends. It's really what ultimately makes this whole thing work. And so please consider doing that. And thank you so much for your support and listening. We'll see you next episode.
