More than 1,000,000 users and 55,000 businesses, including 60% of the Fortune 100, use it to communicate efficiently and share knowledge at scale using AI avatars. 

In Today’s Episode with Victor Riperbelli:

1. The Future of Models:

  • Are we seeing the commoditisation of models? 

  • Will scaling laws continue to prove out? 

  • How far into the application layer will model providers go?

  • Will we see a world of few large generalist models or many fragmented smaller models?

  • X.ai, Anthropic, or OpenAI? Which would Victor most want to invest in and why?

2. The Future of Content: 

  • What will the future of content look like? In 5 years time will we have more AI or human made content?

  • What will be the future of distribution for content? Why is TikTok the future for content distribution?

  • How does Victor think about the future of identity verification? What is the right approach?

  • What does everyone think will happen in the future with content that will never happen?

3. Startup Rules That are BS:

  • Why does Victor believe it is total BS to say you have to be the first to a market?

  • Why does Victor believe the speed of execution religion is BS?

  • Why does Victor believe that London and Europe is a great place to start a startup?

  • Does Victor believe Americans work harder than Europeans? Why does Victor believe Europeans are more loyal to their companies?
