Today I am revisiting episode three. Back in April 2024, I sat down with Dr. Anthony Scriffignano, and at the time, it was simply a good conversation. Two years later, listening back, it is not just a good conversation anymore, it is a roadmap. Everything he said about hallucinations, about deepfakes, about the AGI debate, has played out almost exactly the way he laid it out. So I wanted to bring it back, not as a rerun, but as proof that some people were already asking the right questions before the rest of us caught up.
This is a fantastic time to be working in AI. Use all of this amazing, democratized technology to help you address big problems. Go get a Nobel Prize!
