  • The $200 model took 22 seconds to complete the task, while the $20 model completed it in a few seconds, highlighting a significant difference in performance (13m1s).
  • The task involved calculating the number of vehicles required to replace the entire US fleet, with assumptions including 20-30 trips per vehicle per day, 5 days off for maintenance, and 360 days on the road per car (13m48s).
  • The $200 model estimated that 46.9 billion vehicles would be needed to meet the demand, which would cost $5 trillion at $100,000 per vehicle or $1.5 trillion at $330,000 per vehicle (14m51s).
  • The $20 model, on the other hand, took 2 minutes and 42 seconds to complete the task and provided a more organized and detailed response, including references to data sources such as the American Public Transportation Association and SEC filings (15m22s).
  • The $20 model's response included a step-by-step illustrative model with clear stated assumptions and calculations, and estimated 365 billion annual car trips, which is similar to the $200 model's estimate (15m48s).
  • The $20 model also pulled data from S1 filings from 2018 and 2019 for Uber and Lyft trips, and provided context for the calculations, including a reference to the NITSA data (16m14s).
  • A calculation was done to determine the current Riot share, which represents 1 to 1.5% of demands, indicating a more efficient fleet operation (16m34s).
  • An assumption was made that each fully autonomous Robo taxi can do 20 to 30 trips a day, with an average trip duration of 15 to 30 minutes and some downtime between rides (16m45s).
  • Fleet operation constraints were considered, including 6 hours a day for charging, cleaning, and maintenance, and 5 days a year for major maintenance shutdowns, resulting in 360 days of utilization per year (17m5s).
  • The daily utilization breakdown was calculated to be 25 trips per day, 360 days, resulting in 9,000 trips per year (17m19s).
  • The required fleet size to handle 100% of US car trips was calculated to be 37.8 million Robo taxis, considering 340 billion trips and 9,000 trips per year (17m41s).
  • The calculation took into account induced traffic and public transportation, capturing 20% with FSD cars, resulting in a fleet size of 38.2 million rides (18m7s).
  • The results of the calculation were compared to a previous calculation, showing that the results were not significantly different, with a difference of around 10% (18m37s).
  • It was suggested that the core language models (LLMs) may not be getting much better due to limited data, and that the value of LLMs is now determined by the interface, instructions, and personalization (19m1s).
  • The idea was proposed that the language models themselves may be starting to plateau due to a lack of new data, and that the focus is now on the "fit, finish, and polish" of the models (19m35s).
  • Ilia's statement was mentioned, suggesting that the data used to train language models has been largely exhausted, and that further improvements will come from other areas (19m42s).

LLM focus shift and robo taxi cost model experimentation (20m58s)

  • Large Language Models (LLMs) seem to be stuck, and the focus has shifted to the inference interface, which interprets instructions, personalizes users, and utilizes proprietary data sources such as Reddit, Twitter, and Google flights data, as well as deeper data and instruction sets in the interface (21m0s).
  • An experiment was conducted to compare the performance of two models, one costing $200 and the other costing 10 times more, and the results showed that the output of the $200 model provided a little more background information (21m23s).
  • The way the prompt was structured helped direct the less powerful model to achieve similar results to the more powerful model, suggesting that the key to success lies in the prompting technique rather than the model's power (21m44s).
  • A new experiment was proposed, where the same prompt would be given to both models to build a detailed cost model for replacing all US rides with Robo taxis (21m54s).
  • The results of the new experiment showed that the model came up with an annual operating cost of $150 billion and a total initial deployment cost of $2.8 trillion, with explanations and citations, but with different numbers than expected (22m47s).
  • The experiment demonstrated the importance of providing a framework and instructions to the model, as the original prompt included specific details such as the number of rides, public transit rides, and the percentage of induced demand (22m31s).

Importance of prompt engineering in AI tools adoption (23m1s)

AI model performance evaluation and simplification (37m8s)

  • The grades given to the AI models are: B+ to 01 Pro, A to 01 with deep research, and A+ on a value basis to Gemini 1.5 with deep research, considering the $200 a month pricing does not matter in corporate America as it's a valuable tool for employees and team members (37m20s).
  • The value of the AI models is more important than the pricing, and in a corporate setting, the cost is negligible compared to other expenses, such as employee parking (38m17s).
  • The reasoning process provided by Open AI and Gemini's deep research is a powerful feature for users in a work context, as it shares the thought process behind the output (38m49s).
  • The naming and versioning of the AI models, such as Gemini 1.5 Pro with deep research, can be confusing for consumers and should be simplified to just "Gemini" with options for deep research or other features (39m12s).
  • The current menu options for Gemini, including 1.5 Pro, 1.5 flash, and 2.0 experimental, are too confusing and should be streamlined to provide a better user experience (39m36s).
  • If only one AI model could be used, the choice would be between Open AI Pro and Gemini deep research, with the latter being preferred due to Google's access to data and the potential for the gap between the two models to grow (40m20s).
  • The use of AI models in a work context can be beneficial, but it's also important to consider the time and resources required to manage and utilize the tools effectively, such as the 10 weeks required to manage high school interns (40m42s).
  • The preference is to hire people straight from school, specifically from the University of Texas, due to their intelligence and blue-collar work ethic, with the top 1 or 2% being comparable to Ivy League students (41m2s).
  • The University of Texas is a large, well-funded public school, with lower tuition fees for in-state residents, making it a more affordable option compared to private schools in the Bay Area or New York (41m57s).
  • The University of Austin, on the other hand, is a startup school with a focus on free will, libertarian, and Republican values, aiming to teach from first principles and avoid woke culture, with its first class consisting of around 50 students (42m40s).
  • The idea of creating a Founder University is being considered, with plans to establish a physical space in Austin, Texas, and offer a unique approach to teaching entrepreneurship, potentially with a model where students receive $25,000 to start their company instead of paying tuition (43m44s).
  • The Founder University would focus on teaching how to be a founder, with the goal of providing a comprehensive education in entrepreneurship, and the details of the program, such as the format and structure, are currently being figured out (44m3s).
  • A company received a million-dollar valuation for 2.5%, which is considered a good deal, with the expectation that only one out of three companies will secure another round of funding, making it a high-risk investment (44m16s).
  • The investment is comparable to the Y combinator accelerator, but with high risk, as two out of three companies may not make it to the next round of funding, effectively making the investment worth 75k at 3 million for 2.5% (44m36s).
  • The job involves seeing a lot of good projects and taking high-risk bets, which is an enjoyable part of the job (44m48s).

  • Marvel should release an AI model in partnership with a company, allowing Disney Plus subscribers to create and share Disney character models and short videos within the Disney app, which would be a killer feature (50m17s).
  • A Chinese AI model has been demonstrated to create a two-minute video that looks like a professionally shot film, similar to a George Clooney movie, by stealing from Hollywood to achieve the effect (50m46s).
  • The video created by the Chinese AI model looks distinctly closer to a Hollywood film than a stock photography library (51m19s).
  • The Open AI whistleblower who allegedly committed suicide or was killed had a lot at stake, and it is predicted that Open AI will lose their lawsuit and have to settle for billions, potentially the largest copyright infringement case in history (51m30s).
  • The settlement could be a three-comma settlement, and content creators who feel their work has been infringed upon may join the lawsuit (52m2s).
  • The death of the 26-year-old Open AI whistleblower is considered a tragedy, and the circumstances surrounding it are unclear and suspicious (52m25s).
  • The Sora AI model is considered disappointing, with a grade of B, and its use case is unclear (53m17s).
  • The Chinese AI model has demonstrated a significant jump in reasoning and inference time, similar to Gmail's ability to guess the fifth word, but now able to guess the third or fourth word (53m42s).
  • The development of AI technology, such as Gemini, is advancing rapidly, with significant improvements happening in just a few years, potentially leading to major breakthroughs in the near future (54m1s).
  • In the future, AI could be used to generate creative content, such as a lost episode of a TV show like The Sopranos or a film directed by a character from the Star Wars series (54m10s).
  • AI could also be used to create personalized content, such as a talent show featuring a person's family members or a film directed by a person's character from a favorite TV show (54m42s).
  • ChatGPT can be used to generate responses in the style of famous historical figures or celebrities, such as Stalin, Einstein, or Bob Dylan (55m20s).
  • A person can use ChatGPT to communicate in a way that is not typical of their personality, such as a person who is bad with women using ChatGPT to generate responses in a more confident or charming way (55m2s).
  • The use of AI to generate creative content and responses raises interesting questions and possibilities, and is a topic of ongoing discussion and exploration (55m38s).

Trust and bias in language models, news analysis startup ideas (55m44s)

  • Perplexity was used to understand the current situation in Syria, and it provided a good explanation of the events unfolding in real-time (55m44s).
  • The same task was performed using GROK, which also has access to real-time information, giving it an advantage (56m4s).
  • The use of real-time information sources like Perplexity and GROK can be beneficial, but there are concerns about anonymous accounts and their potential biases (56m24s).
  • Anonymous accounts with a large following, such as those on X, can be problematic as they may be controlled by foreign actors or spammers, and their biases can influence language models (56m46s).
  • The potential for foreign actors or spammers to create multiple paid accounts to influence people and language models in real-time is a concern (58m10s).
  • This could be done by hiring a team of people to manage multiple accounts, each with a different pseudonym, and feeding language models biased information (59m2s).
  • The use of real-time information from platforms like Reddit, which has a deal with OpenAI, can be exploited by foreign actors or spammers to influence language models (59m17s).
  • Trusting data on Reddit has become challenging due to the existence of large language models (LLMs), which can potentially manipulate information, but LLMs can also be used to analyze a large amount of data from multiple accounts to get closer to the truth (59m25s).
  • The advantage of the current era is the ability to have a large number of parallel agents looking at data and aggregating it to find the ground source of truth (59m42s).
  • There are a limited number of influential accounts on platforms, likely in the low hundreds, making it possible to shape reality and the message (59m56s).
  • Wikipedia has a small number of super editors, under 100, who are highly influential and some of whom get paid covertly by PR firms, highlighting the need for a system to identify bad actors and great content creators (1h0m11s).
  • The existence of LLMs presents an opportunity for a startup to analyze data, identify bad actors, and promote great content creators (1h0m33s).
  • The idea of creating a startup to do covert intelligence operations for corporations and individuals is proposed, with the potential to start a new CIA-like organization (1h0m52s).
