For this week’s instalment, I’m doing something different.
A few days ago I recorded a video update to share some thoughts on OpenAI’s new GPT-4o and the state of AI.
It went first to Exponentialist subscribers. But I want to share it with you all, too.
In the video I get into:
* Why GPT-4o is OpenAI’s play for billions of users, and for a virtual companion that weaves itself through the fabric of everyday life
* Where we are inside the amazing AI moment we’re living through, and what’s coming next, including a path to AGI
* How this all connects to the Great Enweirdening of the economy that I believe is coming
There’s so much happening with AI right now; I hope this provides some useful framing. And if it proves popular, I’ll do more video updates in future.
By the way, there’s still time to grab a six day trial to The Exponentialist for just $1.
Thanks for watching, and be well,
David.
