0:00Oh, Jason, where do we even begin? Your tweets are like a roller coaster ride through the Twitterverse. One moment, you're making predictions about banks. Pretty good, Paul. And the next, you're trying to convince us that a tiny covert pendant isn't the creepiest thing ever. Okay, that's pretty good. Those are good pulls. Let's not forget your obsession with cold plunges. You're like a human popsicle. Oh, always trying to one-up your friends on Twitter. And don't even get me started on your AI request. You're like a kid in a candy store, except a candy store is Twitter. And Twitter is an AI-generated renaissance painting.

0:37But hey, let's at least you're consistent in your love of roasting people. Just remember, Jason, you're a prime example of why we should never take ourselves too seriously on the Twitter. Keep the laughs coming, and maybe one day you'll find a cold plunge that can wash away the absurdity of it all. This Week in Startups is brought to you by LinkedIn Marketing.

Yes, my pal, Sundeep, Sunny Madra is with us. He is from Definitive Intelligence and I'm an investor in that company go check out definitive.io and what we do here every monday now in the age of ai you can get used to it is we just show and tell demo or die like the old days in the uh computer hacking clubs here in the valley you would just show what you built you'd show your work right you'd show up you show up with your work and you share your work and uh we all give it a a letter grade here and we give it some feedback and some general thoughts so this has been a crazy week you and i have been for the last 10 days playing with grok g-r-o-k the new uh ai startup by elon musk and a really impressive group of talented people and they have access to the twitter fire hose which nobody else has access to and so let's get right into it sunny what are your initial thoughts and maybe we could do some demos here at grok what's working what's not yeah it's very early days so frame it for us where they're at yeah well very early days like first of all there's a couple things that you know we got to give them kudos for like you know the company was only ideated you know six months ago even less like i think may and then uh or maybe that's six now and then honestly i think they really only started building it like three months ago and so So this is version zero that we have access to.

3:11And I think they're already working on version one. Got it. They've talked about the infrastructure, which I think Elon mentioned on the Lex pod, the number 400, which they did this with like 10 ,000 A100s. Right. So, yeah. So, you know, really interesting. And that is a large cluster of A1s. It is. It's, you know, it's probably, you know, like 100 plus million dollars of capital expense. or if you wanted to, you know, rent it from someone, it probably caused you similar amounts on someone's cloud and hard to get access to that. So he probably knows a few people, given who he is, to get access to it and build that.

3:48I suppose if Elon falls and wants some A100s, maybe he can get the right person on the phone. Yeah, and look, like, they have the advantage that they're not new to this, right? They've obviously been building clusters for a long time within Tesla, right? And so there's some advantage to them that they understand, like, how to build it, how to get the internet connects all set up and you know data center space and everything else so which is gives them the advantage of moving pretty quickly because sometimes you can get stalled there right just infrastructure once again is a roadblock it became a non-issue for the last 20 years since cloud computing came out every month it gets cheaper and easier to just throw something up on the on the web on the internet now with ai a little more compute intensive not so easy i'm sure we will build up the resources in the next i don't know two years three years for it to be easy again do you think or do you think we're going to constantly be playing catch up here well you know this is what um ilan i'll just kind of go because we're going to get into grok here but he mentioned on the lex pod that he thinks we're going to have an oversupply of ai related compute resources within the next 18 months that was my position as well uh yeah and i talked to him about it and uh i use the analogy of fiber remember we got all got very excited about fiber in the uh end of the millennium uh the end of the century last century and they just started building so much fiber everywhere and we didn't exactly have the tools uh you know built in we didn't have youtube we didn't have hd cameras on our phones right so what was the use case for all that bandwidth and a bunch of companies went out of business and then a bunch of that got bought out so they have it and i'm just pulling up this tweet just to get it right so i think 8 8 000 not 10 000 a 100 isn't that he expects uh you know so he expects them to get to right and so 64 000 by mid next year pretty 64 000 a 100 by next year wow okay so here we go everybody If you're not watching, we're going to sportscast this.

5:56So we'll describe what's on the screen for you and the implications of it. But if you want to watch Spotify supports this week in startups video, there is a this week in startups video feed on iTunes, if you search for it. And of course, YouTube search for this week in startups. Okay, here we go. So, you know, one of the things that we'll just start out with is that, you know, it has these like two modes. And so if I if you know, if I kind of start a new chat, I'll flip back and forth here, but you're going to see fun mode and regular mode. Got it. And, you know, the fun mode, as you'd expect, it kind of takes things, takes an edge off, makes them kind of funny.

6:27And, you know, one thing that we must do, I think, and I've got some, you know, queued up already. So, you know, we don't have to wait for it. And it's quite fast. It's in real time. But I said, look, one thing that everyone was doing last week, J. Cal, no one did it. And now we'll do it this way. It's like write a toast, write a roast of Twitter user at Jason based on his tweets. Love it. Jason, the best thing to do is for you to read your own roast here. So I'm going to let you do it. Oh, Jason, where do we even begin? Your tweets are like a rollercoaster ride through the Twitterverse. One moment, you're making predictions about banks.

6:59Pretty good, Paul. And the next, you're trying to convince us that a tiny covert pendant isn't the creepiest thing ever. Okay, that's pretty good. Those are good pulls. Let's not forget your obsession with cold plunges. You're like a human popsicle. Oh, always trying to one-up your friends on Twitter. and don't even get me started on your ai request you're like a kid in a candy store except a candy store is twitter and twitter is an ai generated renaissance painting but hey let's uh at least you're consistent in your love of roasting people just remember that jason you're a prime example of why we should never take ourselves too seriously on the twitter keep the laughs coming and maybe one day you'll find a cold plunge that can wash away the absurdity of it all i mean listen it's not ready for stage yeah but it's a good workshop like if you had a junior comedian in a room and they said hey we should do something about cold plunge and that the ai pendant that you were wailing on and of course your silicon valley bank all caps tweet that everybody roasted pretty good start honestly and uh you can see the power of the twitter data and the more involved in social media you are what you can see is ai is going to you know with access to the latest and greatest on social media which twitter has a lot of the smart people this could be like this could vindicate elon's purchase of twitter now he purchased it because he wanted to get rid of the woke mind virus and because i think he uh you know had a personal affinity towards it he loved it but he did think that you know uh freedom of speech was important this woke mine virus needed to be killed and i think also now you can see that hey maybe he won't lose 20 billion dollars on this maybe this is the start of something really important and if he has this data and nobody else is allowed to have this does then you're going to be using grok an awful lot right you can see yourself saying go use grok right well that and you know especially and like let's just maybe kind of keep going through these examples where we can kind of highlight so you know last week there was um a controversy around the latest mr beast video where he um you know made a bunch of wells in in africa and uh so you gave people clean drinking water and the mids on twitter attacked him i think honestly i don't think these people who are attacking him actually think this i think it's just an engagement farming strategy totally totally like who could be upset about giving water wells to people in various african countries yeah yeah and what's really interesting here is like i like i like the approach that croc took this is obviously not in fun mode this is in regular mode where it kind of gave both sides right it told it said what the critics said and then it on the other hand it talked about you know the what the supporters of mr b said so you said what is the controversy with the latest mr beast video so yeah this is something where you will see something trending and you want to work backwards to know what's going on yeah you hear somebody was on trial somebody died yeah a celebrity died somebody's trending and you're like oh my god christopher walk is trending oh no christopher walk is trending wow yeah and you get nervous right and you want to work backwards and so here you're just asking grok what what is it and it says the country surrounding mr beast latest video involves his philanthropic efforts in africa he recently built 100 water wells in various african countries which has sparked debate about the portrayal of africa and the impact of such actions on local communities oh my god when people when people say local communities and uh perpetuating stereotypes that's when you know you're going to get snowed right like there's not actually an issue here there's no stereotype being perpetrated here except it's the frontier market it's an emerging market and emerging markets are further behind the developed markets and that can go for china vietnam and then to an african country then to you know you know a country run by a dictator like north korea there's no harm being done here to say that some places need clean water or maybe they don't have access to clean water oh my god okay critics argue that his actions may perpetuate the stereotype that africa is dependent on handouts in quotes and could potentially shame the kenyan government well if the government's not giving people clean water then maybe they should be shamed yeah i mean i hate to i hate to point out the obvious i hate to be obvious on the pod yeah yeah they believe that this approach is charity this approach to charity may not address the root causes of the issues faced by these communities okay you know what the root cause is these countries are further behind in their development because in a lot of cases they're run by dictators who have stolen all the money and have oppressed their own people in which case that maybe you do want to shame them now i'm not speaking about kenya in specific here but i'm just talking generally about dictatorships anywhere on the globe it could be latin america could be africa could be asia could be north america on the other hand supporters and mr b appreciate his efforts to provide clean drinking water to 500 000 people and believe that his actions are genuinely helping those in need and then it gives you two tweets that this is called from and you got to assume that it's pulling not only the tweet but do you think it's going to the target news site and pulling that as well uh i think like like you know as we go through more of the examples it has the capability to do that like when you when you and you know we can do some live i just pulled these up so we don't have to kind of do do them as we do but like i have some fun ones here that kind of highlight it as well so okay this is another place where like you know twitter uh sorry grok is really shining because of its access to twitter data um and and not having to i guess you know rely on like web search which is gonna lead to um you know i think problems in in some regard as well with like all this you know the people there's a new version of robots.txt that's out there right where sites are saying hey don't crawl my my data for ai bots right that was kind of implemented recently and so was it what's it called you know does it have like a name well i don't want to kind of mistake it so we'll pull it pull up the actuals but it's like you know like robots.txt but for for the eyes i said that a year ago like they should you should have to there should be a license so it should be you know whatever it is newyorktimes.com slash license and when you read the license it should say in the license in html readable semantic code here's the license you can use it uh you can reference the new york times in your language model with a citation and you can summarize an article of up to um you know for up to two sentences of summary three sentences of summary you cannot use it to train your model yeah right so training equals off exactly yeah or it could be you know for every if you want to you know summarize this you have to have a paid subscription yeah any number of issues any number of ways to handle i was just pulling it up here so i think they're just doing it within uh robots.txt you can block the gpt bot user agent so they've given it a different user agent that you can put in there and say hey you know you're not you're allowed to come here i did that proactively yeah yeah smart move on their part so here comes their defense hey you can just opt out it's up to you so that's the that's the opt-out of defense it doesn't work um it's just on a go forward basis, it might lower the number of people who might potentially sue you.

14:43Doesn't mean if you trained it on data, you didn't own that you're not trouble. Yeah. All right, business to business founders need to understand two very important things. B2B marketing is hard. We all know that it's really hard. Number two, it's simple on LinkedIn ads. Why is B2B marketing so hard? Because the decision makers say people like me, right? The founder of the company, or maybe you, you're an executive listening to the show. They're hard to identify, right? And they're really hard to target over the internet. And how do you know you're reaching them in the most respectful environment?

15:12People who are decision makers, you cannot reach them through that 1990s way of reaching executives. No, they need social outreach. And the way to get that social outreach dialed in is with LinkedIn. LinkedIn solved this problem. There are 70 million decision makers hanging out on LinkedIn. And executives like me, yeah, the decision makers, we're on LinkedIn. We're deep into LinkedIn every single day. and LinkedIn ads helps you get your B2B message in front of the right people like me. And listen, when people are on LinkedIn, they want to do business. LinkedIn equals business. Business equals LinkedIn.

15:43Each social network has its vibe and the vibes at LinkedIn are business. It's business vibes only. And it's happened finally. LinkedIn has hit 1 billion users. The march to a billion has been achieved. Congratulations to all my friends at LinkedIn. So here's a call to action. Get started today. See why LinkedIn is the place to be. for b2b we'll even give you a hundy right now a hundred dollar credit on your next campaign go to linkedin.com slash this week in startups to claim your hundred dollar credit why wouldn't you take the hundred go to linkedin.com slash this week in startups the links are in the show notes terms and conditions do apply you know here i'll give another like a good sports example where you kind of want something much more real time and so remember some people are listening so read it yeah exactly and i'm gonna go through it so i basically said hey how did zach wilson play last night you know he's been the replacement for aaron rogers and he says you know based on his information available zach wilson's performance last night was a mix of positive and negative first player to have 250 pass yards and 50 rush yards which is notable but he also threw an interception late in the game which was considered inexcusable by some and so you know really um just super helpful like for these type of things where you know something has happened you're seeing about it on and then it gives you the citations it shows you the tweets it pulled this from yeah exactly see that's the key this is what i've always wanted yeah i've always wanted the ability to summarize what's on twitter in real time it's really powerful you know like tell me the sentiment of the movie the killer which we were talking about in our group chat yeah you know some people liked it some people didn't who liked it who didn't and then you could would be really nice is if i could say here which of my followers you know who are the followers of that chasen who like the nicks i would like to know who follows me that likes the nicks can it do that i don't think it can do that yet it doesn't understand followers follower counts yeah you know the database of tweets like uh what would you call that information like sql information database kind of information the the metadata of tweets let's call it that right you know because that's the you know who liked it who's followed it right and metadata of users they haven't kind of made that information available to grok yet which is um there and then look like you know there are some other things i'll just do one or two more and we'll go on from here but like um you know this is the one that's been moving around and i and i think it's been let's we can maybe come back to this one next week where i know you were at the first one i really would like to go to this starship launch because you mentioned it was like one of the most incredible things you've ever felt from the uh it was incredibly touching i guess a human to see that rocket ship go up and think about the ramifications of being able to send hundreds of humans cargo whatever to mars it was like very touching in a weird a hard way to describe but hope would be the overwhelming hope and joy for the people who created it yeah okay yeah and and just uh i heard like you know from folks that were there including yourself that it was just the sheer force of sound and energy was even you know you guys were several miles away or you know and uh you could still feel it kind of three in your boats all right and so like you know this is one where i think it's doing a pretty good job um and then you know there are some cases where you know we'll just go to kind of last week's pod which was the one the all-in pod which is the one with with jared kushner and in this case i said hey can you provide a summary got some interesting feedback um can you provide a summary this week's all-in podcast it's sure you know can you tell me a specific episode so that was episode 153 oh we did ask you for that huh yeah it did but you can see here it got it way wrong right and um yeah it's impact on job svb collapse that was yeah that's super yeah and you can see here the hallucination is strong because it's like being very kind of affirmative in like it thinks that episode was about that it had you know svb and kind of mixed a bunch of things up i don't even think this this episode exists and obviously in this format right i think that this is the balkanization in some ways of what we're going to see in ai which is this would be a much better uh query for either um somebody made an all-in ai database which is just the episodes uh you might have seen podcast ai a company we invested in um and then other people have started to make all-in transcript thing you know ai versions where you can just only search the archive it those would nail it right and then you have youtube which has it up there but then you'd start thinking about spotify and you start thinking about itunes if spotify and itunes took the transcripts everything i don't know if they have the legal ability to do this i think you would have to ask us for permission to build a derivative product but maybe they'll just build it anyway um you know you could be searching for that yeah yeah we'll close out on a fun one and so i just dropped in 420 this number means a lot of things a lot of different people Yeah.

20:49And it gave a really great response here. Ah, the number 420, a true symbol of the universe's infinite wisdom. In some cultures, it represents the ultimate answer to the question of life, the universe, and everything. In other cultures, it represents a time of day when people gather to discuss the mysteries of the cosmos. Yeah, they do that too. Sort of, yeah. I mean, you know. It's an interesting time. It's almost quitting time. Yeah, at 420, you could do a lot of different things. Yeah. It's a family show here, so let's keep it PG'd. I really like, you know, like I said, I really like its ability to have access to data outside of just its kind of training corpus and the way it answers questions.

21:28So I'm going to let you lead out, J. Cal, what's your grade on this one? Okay, so it's not perfect, so you can't give it an A. No, yeah. But it's certainly not bad, so you can't give it a C, which means it's going to be a B, right? Okay. So now we argue B minus, B plus, or B, right? that's i think any logical person who's listened to us do this this and this is a 0.1 product so based on how much work it's been into you know has been put into it you could qualify it with that and say for three or four months work this is an a plus you could say that but i'm not grading it based on how much works when i'm grading it against the market so grading against the market i wouldn't give it a b plus yet but i wouldn't give it a b minus so i'm just i think it's a solid d like out of the gate it feels like you can get use out of it but out of the gate it's not gonna have the complete set of twitter data that i want yeah and i want to be able to say uh tell me who is the most who are the most credible twitter users uh talking about covid or who thought the vaccines were overhyped before you know we had the data for it right like something really sophisticated like that yeah which takes into account time the user account how often they tweet about it how often they get retweeted how much engagement so if i could just say hey who are the most engaging um twitter handles um for the nicks that would be really interesting for me um and if it actually gave and then put that on a twitter list and follow those you know like that's what i want to do i kind of want to automate what i do on twitter um and there was a company we had invested in called little bird it was get little bird and they got bought by another company's uh sprinkler uh and these companies did things like this with the twitter api not using ai but they would just look for keywords and then they would build an index and they could tell you these are the most followed accounts talking about the next these are the ones that get the most engagement these are the most engaging repliers you know replying to them so you could kind of figure out and then you could say if these were the top 100 nix accounts who follows the most who of the hundred gets followed the most by the other 99 so then you can build like a meta ranking so these are the ones talking getting the most engagement overall talking about the nix but if you take those hundred who follows each other you're like oh and this person is the the goat of the goats you know it kind of could be very interesting yeah um yeah i also like being able to do multiple searches at once i thought that was kind of cool yeah like you know you i'm just kind of showing it here for those listening side by side running side by side and and you can even branch conversations right so you can look at the response tree of you know how it got there it's got some pretty interesting features you can regenerate the conversation um you know uh like i i tried what you were saying here and you know it does find kind of the list of things but then it gives you like open right and say like hey uh you know here's the way for you to kind of create a twitter list which is great but you want that all integrated um look i'm going to take into account how quickly they've done it access to proprietary data and i'm going to put it at b plus I think to do it that fast, the speed at which it runs at and integrated kind of with the Twitter experience.

24:59And I think there's just some nice to haves. But like, you know, as a first release, and you know, we're getting spoiled because we see the best of the best all the time, right? And so they've done an incredible job. Kudos to the team. They've done it really quickly. They're taking feedback into account. There is a Grok subscription plan. Part of the subscription service costing$16 per month under the X Premium Plus. So on X, I think you get premium plus, which I think I just have premium. Yeah. But I had a friend at Twitter who got me into the Grok beta, but I think I have to go cancel my, that's what I hate about subscriptions.

25:32No, you know, I moved to the premium plus. No, but I am on iTunes subscriber. Even from iTunes, you can do it there. You can upgrade? Within the app, you can upgrade from premium to premium plus. Oh, okay. That's what I used to do. Okay. and it does like i want to go direct so they don't because don't they charge you the 30 extra like i think twitter i don't know if they do 30 but they yeah there's a premium you pay for going through the app store but yeah i guess so if you that's an interesting just user question like do you want to go through the app store so it manages all your subscriptions you pay an extra vig there to have it all nice and neat and not have to manage all those yeah maybe it's usually a little bit easier to cancel like if you ever want to downgrade because you just do it you know through there on the phone like the wall street journal oh my god oh my god the wall street journal with those dark times can you imagine being the sanctimonious i hate to i'm trying to sound like trump okay sanctimonious fake news media uses dark patterns okay yeah nasty nasty no they do it's like i mean on one side they're like criticizing everybody like the new york times and wall street journal criticizing big tech and then they're doing dark patterns yeah you can you You can sign up for anything you want.

26:45You just can never leave. And if you do want to leave, you have to call a phone number and they harangue you for 20 minutes. It's also super confusing because they have like an app subscription and they have a iPad subscription and web subscription. Apple News. Well, no, Apple News is different because some things are included in Apple News. It's all dark patterns. It's all dark patterns. Shame on you. And then, you know, like I was having this issue with Peloton as well and Tonal. Just let me pause my membership when I'm not using it. I just want to, I think this is where Lena Khan could actually do something meaningful for consumers.

27:22Like ask consumers what's frustrating for them, as opposed to like saying to consumers, it's frustrating to have Amazon Prime. It's not frustrating to have Amazon Prime. You know what's frustrating? Not being able to have a standard for pausing subscriptions, canceling subscriptions, make a standard to protect consumers. That's it. Just like we did in banks where banks have to show you your interest rate on the top level of your statement. And they have to show you your interest paid to date or per year. You know how all of a sudden that magically showed up in all your apps? Yeah. Did you notice that?

27:51Like when you open your app, if you have like a margin loan or you have a mortgage, it's like very clear how much you paid in interest. Oh, they forced them to. That was like all Dodd-Frank, I believe, is that they were like, listen, be super clear about this. You can't bury it or make it confusing. You have to say, here's how much interest you paid this year. So, you know, people who were using their credit cards and getting charged 20 % and they had 10 ,000 on their card, they didn't realize they're paying like$2 ,000 a year, you know, to just float this 10 ,000. It kind of adds up and they go, wow, I'm an idiot.

28:21I'm really paying a huge VIG here. Or if it was like a 25 % credit card, because they didn't have those introductory rates, then the introductory rate would go down and just everything was confusing. Six months and then it's like, next thing you know, it's crazy. Yeah. This is why I don't use any of this stuff. Listen, selling software is hard enough right now, man. It's hand-to-hand combat out there in B2B land. The last thing you need to do is slow your sales team down because you don't have your SOC 2 dialed in. So if you're SaaS or a services company and you store consumer data in the cloud, you know what you need to do?

28:51You need to check out Vanta. They're going to get your SOC 2 compliant easier and faster. And Vanta makes it so easy to get and renew your SOC 2. On average, Vanta customers are SOC 2 compliant in just two to four weeks. Compare that to three to five months without Vanta. They're going to save you hundreds of hours of work and up to 85 % on compliance costs. And Vanta does more than just SOC 2. They also automate up to 90 % compliance for GDPR, HIPAA, and more. You can't afford to lose out on those major customers, the lighthouse customers, the big fish, the whales, because of silly stuff like lacking compliance.

29:24Just work with Vanta. I'm an investor in the company. It's a great company. Get your compliance automated. Get it tight. Tight is right. And close those big deals. Here's the best part. vanta's going to give you a thousand off because they love this weekend startups they love startups vanta.com slash twist that's v-a-n-t-a.com slash twist to get a thousand dollars off your sock too what did you give your grade what did you give a b i gave a solid b okay i mean listen i don't want people to think i'm in the bag uh here for elon because we're besties like i i honestly think i think it's fair a b out of the grade is incredible listen i would give the roadster a c as a sports car right it was like out of the gate and then you know his next thing the model s was an a plus so they have a i you know elon has a tendency to get something out there in the world get feedback and then nail it on the second try that's my experience with his products i think opposite of apple who waits and waits and waits and waits and then you're just like okay great it's i'll be in your like i used to be a big proponent of tiles yeah and then airtags came out and i was like yeah you know as much as i love my my tile team and i was team tile for a decade yeah i had to move to airtags because it's just integrated you know it's like people using like control 4 or questron or whatever or savant and you eventually rip all that stuff out you throw it right in the garbage after you spend a quarter million dollars or a hundred thousand on your home automation and then use apple tv and sonos like i do yeah yeah consumer stuff because kids your spouse your guests they all know how to use apple tv and so and then they can enjoy the music in their room when they stay at your house or you know turn on the tv in the movie theater or turn on the tv in the guest room or whatever just works it's just supposed to just work you're not supposed to be fighting against this technology i feel like the gpt technology is getting there i had a little moment internally in the company people were writing emails that were not enthusiastic enough to founders and i'm like this is like very dry and boring i was like can you highlight this and go into notion ai grammarly ai claude bard chat gpt post your email to a founder in there and say make this more enthusiastic yes and they did it and it worked and i'm like okay you are an incredibly boring writer yeah add more stoke add more stoke like chat and jt on that note let's get into chat gpt because it actually has so we now have gpts last week we quickly demoed after demo day uh dev day the assistant in the back end and now we have actually the gpts and so what i'm going to do here is go into oh let me get my screen share set up i was using the dolly one oh yeah one is technically a gpt yeah so these are the ones made by open ai i've made some and uh you know we'll go through this whole process i actually made one for our bestie brad um but just what i want to highlight first is um you know so open ai has made a few different ones here um one of them is actually along kind of lines what you're saying is like this creative writing coach which helps you improve your writing skills um and you know math mentor mixologist laundry buddy i think there's a chef mentor classic gpt but i did something with uh game time which i can explain board games or card games to play at any age that the games begin so i went in here and i i already have it kind of up so you know we don't have to do it in real time here so you asked it i asked it i have ace king diamonds you know suited uh and the flop comes jack 10 9 with two diamonds what are my odds okay and basically it sounds like you're playing hold 'em and the ace king of diamonds in your hand and the flop comes you know whatever i'm just reading it out here flop comes jack 10 9 with two of those being diamonds your head has several potential strengths and it talks about my flush draw my straight draw my straight flush draw and then combination odds which i think is you know pretty awesome you're trying to learn some of these games yes you're learning outs and it tells you here for the flush draw you have four diamonds needing one more for a flush okay so flush is five diamonds you just established that with folks there are 13 diamonds in the deck and you've seen four you're two plus the two on the board there are nine diamonds left out of the 47 unseen cards assuming a full table with no other diamond folds no like somebody didn't flip over their diamonds the odds of hitting a diamond on the turn or approximately 19.1 percent nine out of 47 and the way you do that the easy way to do this back of the envelope math is to just give each of your outs times it by two two right yeah it's actually 2.1 or something you get 18 percent yeah we do 18 on that right just if you did 2.1 percent you would round up and you'd be like 19.

34:20so you got a one in essentially a one in five chance of turning it and then a one in five chance of rivering it which means you have a two in five chance which means you have a 40 chance of hitting yeah here straight draw you have a king and there's a jack and 10 on the board so an open and a straight draw any queen or ace would give you a straight wait a second mean or ace would give you a straight why would an ace give you a straight you said you have base 10 he got that wrong oh okay bad advice a queen there are four queens so there are four queens and three remaining aces the aces wouldn't give you a straight wow okay so you may not be ready for prime time uh somebody clip this and send it to sam altman because he plays cards sam yeah here we go sam yeah i know sam likes to play cards uh this is a hallucination that could cost you a lot of money yeah yeah yeah yeah and the straight flush draw it messes that up a little bit too now that uh like i had just quickly done straight flush draw specifically you're holding for the queen of diamonds because i had only said i had said in the original question jack 10 nine comes with two of them being diamonds so i didn't clarify which specify which two right if it had been 10 jack of diamonds then a straight flush draw would be a possibility again who didn't it should have asked you a follow-up question there which ones are the diamonds combined odds since you have both a flush draw and a straight draw you should consider the combined probability involves a bit of math to avoid double counting the queen of diamonds right that's true 15 total outs nine diamonds plus six straight outs no you have three straight outs so it's actually nine plus three is 12 um so maybe a disclaimer do not use this for your just yet okay just yet if your opponent And then I just, yeah, we go all in.

36:12What are my odds? Right. And so basically I kind of ran it through that, but now we have to take this with a grain of salt because it, you know, these details could be wrong.

37:35Brad Gerson, the fifth best. Exactly. And, you know, you'll see here it has a URL. You can go to it. And if I send this to you, J. Cal, and you open it on your phone, I'll just text it to you real quickly. The neat thing that they've done just says something interesting is if I send this to you and you open that link, it will open chat GPT, but as Invest America. Yes. yeah so basically you get dropped into the invest america app gpts yeah are apps is a way to think of them and you can make your own apps exactly put them in the app store yeah essentially or you just send the url to people so if you wanted to do this again for shakespeare put shakespeare's combined works in there i guess as a pdf and you can yeah have people do that so here we go okay hold on i uh let me so with invest america how did you do it what were the I just went to the website because I didn't have any docs and I was just doing it for fun.

38:29And so, and I just said, Hey, I clicked on, tell me about invest America. And it's going to go through a process here about, you know, all the content I'd given it. I can kind of just, we can look at it real quickly. If I click here, open it up and click edit GPT. For some reason it's like running super slow right now. So I don't know if it's like a popular. Yeah. Okay. Here we go. Let's go here. Whoa. Okay. And so if I go into this configuration, you can see I gave it a name. I gave it a description. I gave it some instructions. Okay. Which is this GPT provides information about, and I, this is just a copy and paste from the website.

39:07Then I said, the website is this, the Twitter account is this. So you're being with the instructions, you're being super clear that this GPT should focus on invest America and giving it the resources so that it doesn't use its entire corpus. It's narrowed things down and it knows what you're talking about when you click on it. Great. And then I screenshotted a few things from the Twitter account and gave it. So that's all I did. Ah, you gave screenshots of tweets from the Twitter account. Very interesting. So why don't we do one for launch fund? Okay. Okay. So let's just call it launch fund four.

39:42Got it. This GPT provides information about launch fund four. Which you're an LPN. Yes. I am. Okay. And, uh, all right. So let's, let's, let's capital call. I assume you shipped it. Uh, I have not shipped it yet, but I got the capital. Shippy dippy doo. Shippy do that day. So I, I scraped, um, a bunch of stuff from the website. So I just put it in this just text document called a PDF document called launch fund for great. Right. Uh, I also took a couple of screenshots here. Okay. This morning, uh, which should be on my desktop. Let me just make sure these are okay. I think these are the two screenshots I took.

40:29These are about the companies and the team because I didn't have it anywhere else. Awesome. All right. And so let's just give it a quick instruction. This GPT provides information about the new launch fund number four. Okay. Anything else you want to put in here? uh launch for is an early stage venture capital fund early stage venture capital fund okay uh managed by jason calicanis the host of this week in startups and the all in podcast so i'm just trying to give it a little more context here so that maybe it doesn't confuse us because launch is a very generic name so it doesn't make a mistake there yeah okay but i don't know if that's necessary or not yeah Okay, the fund is right here.

41:25I'm just going to grab this. That's launch.co slash four. Yep. Okay. And maybe the Twitter URL. Is there Twitter URLs? We are. We're at launch. Yeah. Our Twitter URL is twitter.com slash launch. There's X URL is. X.com slash launch. Okay. And so we're done. So basically we do this. We're going to save, save. and I'll just say only people oh we can have Dolly generate an icon for it as well okay but it'll just take a minute or two let's just do that so now I do that so it's like making it live so I have to launch one for okay so now I'm in this so if I text this to you just separately here I'm going to text it over to you so you have it you can try it but I'll do it here okay tell me about the font strategy okay and let's see what it comes up and so i just scraped the website gave it something and so here it goes right okay number one early stage focus the fund is primarily targets c stage startups at their inception and supports them through series b funding rounds large portfolio with significant ownership the fund aims to invest in over 400 early stage are the goal of achieving 10 ownership in the top 5 of these companies that's correct utilization of podcasts for reach and discovery.

42:44The fund leverages the popularity of Jason Calacanis podcasts correct founder university and launch accelerator the fund operates founder university launch accelerator founder versus an online course that helps founders ideas. Yeah, this is great. Yeah, I mean, this is perfect. Micro investments and future funding rounds for select startups. Graduating founding risk of the fund makes friends and family style investments of 25 ,000. I mean, this is just nailing it. This is a plus. I mean, this is a plus I would say, if you're asking me to rate gpts out of the gate yeah i think it's an a plus yeah i don't know what you think it's definitely an a so we're then we're debating a minus a or a plus well can it get better of course it's going to get much better but is this going to change the game of starting companies and doing information retrieval and creating services yes so the question is just websites and websites the question is what's the time between when you could create a gpt slash app or you could create one that replicates what slack does or what i don't know um create a new uber create a a version of uh yeah you get the idea this is amazing yeah i mean it's it's like and look it just took a you know five minutes right i had to scrape the website that's the thing that's incredible about this is how quickly you can do it yeah and imagine this incorporates your stripe account right yes uh in the next version imagine it allows you to connect it can you can like we just we made a we made like an informational um gpt yeah there is other features in there that allow you to you know so if i go back into this uh interface here here you know if we go down below you can add these actions and you can start basically connecting it to other services that you have so okay we've made a very simplistic one here um which is imagine this was open table and you could book a restaurant or yelp made one and you could yeah query the reviews and then have it actually make the reservation for you so if you start thinking about these as agents that go out into the world like baby gbt we talked about when we started doing this like that's kind of the next step is what can it do once it gives you the answer like yeah what if it had on there would you like to book a call with jason calacanis to talk about this then it asks you three questions yeah have you invested in a venture capital firm before do you have any questions about venture and it tried to answer them you get the idea well you you can do that so we will add that in that jason you know sometimes you really are the world's greatest moderator because you hit it so we are going thank you for saying that according to the youtube comments some people prefer other moderators who maybe don't ask as challenging of questions to certain guests.

45:33Interested in investing. Direct them to this Europe. Okay. We added that and I was using Dolly to come up with an icon here, but it's taking a... This thing is a bit slow. I don't know. Dolly seems like it's really resource intensive. intensive yeah that always happens to me dolly takes way too long i think it's like amongst their most yeah uh intensive and it probably cost them a ton of money to do dolly so they probably make it slow and put it on like a slower framework so yeah you know okay doesn't cost so i just added that so i said i'm interested in investing what should i do let's see if it incorporated that actual piece I just put in there if it didn't but there you go right and so we just did that real so it's all of this is happening real time instantaneously it doesn't require a developer yeah yeah and you could put in there hey if somebody wants to do a meeting please ask them these five questions to qualify them and then you know set them to this calendar and give them three dates to choose from so you don't even have to go to the type form like we're sending you to type form it could do that whole interaction with you yeah this changes everything this is changes everything really it's paradigm shifting yeah yeah it's totally paradigm shifting and apple and android and you know people who have app stores need to look at this so this is a message to tim cook this is a message to sundar sundar this is the next app store you don't have it fire 100 people bring 200 people into a room fire 100 of them and then the other 100 put in charge and do like a darth vader type thing like this has to be up and running within 120 days and has to be better it has to be not only feature just you 200 people have 120 days to make this better and if it's not better uh then fire 100 people in the room and then put the other 100 in charge yeah you got to take like a darth vader approach to this because you're not you're moving way too slow and imagine like you know so much of our interaction is on text and um you know you if someone asks you like oh jason tell me more about your fund and you just send them that and it opens up like open ai but in you know the launch fund for view and like i just chat with it like how powerful is that going to be crazy the whole thing's gonna and then if it had a human seeing the chat and fixing it in real time so let's say every time it fires up one of these chats we get a slack room like a throwaway slack room that just shows them interacting and we're kind of watching it occur and a human can jump in if it's wrong and you can highlight it and say this is the correct answer for next time or you could say human coming in to intervene so this is going to get super interesting imagine it's answering questions for american airlines and there's an american airlines gpt and you just start talking to like why doesn't american airlines have one of these yeah yeah but i mean imagine it's answering questions about upgrading the lounge and then it's got something wrong about the lounge right and it's like oh if you have a first class ticket you can business class ticket you can go into the lounge that's not always true sometimes your business they're like yeah you can't use the lounge gotta be international business now to get it or something yeah so it's like okay you can't use the lounge it's like one of the stupidest craziest thing right but just make it simple if you're in business class you get the lounge if you're not in business class you don't get the lounge why does this have to be like a game every time i go up there like i'm some pauper because they gave they gave too many people access to the lounge with credit cards that now they have to claw it back okay he's not my problem just if i bought a business class i get let me go have a cup of bad coffee and use your slightly better wi-fi and sit in a less hard chair nicer bathroom with that yeah with a bathroom that's been cleaned more than once every three days okay great but don't make it complicated but anyway if you were watching that and it did have something there it could highlight and say to check if your business class ticket is go to the front counter sometimes it is sometimes it and then you just fix that or a human could jump in and say you're at jfk we're actually under construction it's not available until january 1st 2024 and then it incorporates that into the next answer so imagine i'm watching so i'm a customer support rep i'm watching sandeep 10 of these in real time and i'm just sitting there like this watching that one's wrong boom i go to number two i fix it boom this was wrong now imagine i'm doing that not for customer service at american airlines but i'm doing that for uh giving advice on indigestion so i'm a doctor i'm an emergency care yep uh and i see people coming in and saying have indigestion and ask them this question hey what did you eat when did you last eat when did this start have you vomited have you done this and then it says oh wait a second this person says they um ate some liquid soap or something and it's oh yeah go to the emergency room now you know like call 9-1-1 and can you imagine if that was done by ai how many lives would be saved now listen we just did the one with uh doing poker odds and it was wrong so you would want to be careful with this you would be monitoring 9-11 calls in countries where you don't have access to a doctor so the gpt would be by default better than nothing and then you have some human watching it fixing in real time there are emerging markets where probably people don't have access to doctors and they're looking stuff up on their phone or they're just asking people you know for word of mouth recommendations for an upset stomach they don't you know know what 20 questions to ask this i think vinoca was right i think these things would do a better job you tell me what you think for the global population than doctors would or because they don't have access to a doctor or if you did have access to doctor i wonder if this would be better because it would be lower cost i don't know how close we are two examples so i think there was a woman who put in um you know like the latest version of chat gpt you can you know especially after the dev day launch everyone has access where you can just upload like a pdf and it's not like code interpreter but just analyze it for you and then she uploaded like her blood results and it basically highlighted something and it said uh you know she had this problem for a long time and it just had a different view and she's like oh my god thanks for doing that because like nobody ever did that and then me personally um you know my dad has parkinson's and so he's on all these meds and the other day is it's like i literally just took a picture of his uh subscription and just put it in the chat tell me what all these drugs are and it just did it for me and so yes rather than typing them all out and some are generics and some are not so it's a game changer it's a real real game changer disclaimer disclaimer disclaimer the stuff hallucinates it gets things wrong so you want to check but as a first line in your discovery i don't see any harm to having it tell you what is in your blood test and then giving that response to your doctor and saying hey this thing thinks my iron deficiency you know i should have this treatment and this thing what do you think i don't know where it's getting this information on the open web from but i mean it sounds to me like every single time you get any kind of a doctor report of blood thing there's no downside to putting it through there and getting a third opinion and then bringing it back to your doctor and doing it in consultation with them well i mean it's amazing it's like it's i really like that idea um like you said you know we always go for a second or third opinion why can't you get one um uh and i think this is the article i'll just pull it up here and uh yeah so i think it says like woman claims had gb found correct diagnosis for her son's chronic pain she put it in there and then basically had these meltdowns and it found out so i think it's excellent yeah really really good oh man i'm getting these ads running on here now that's awesome that's why the internet's gonna go away too because uh these ads are everywhere now and it's we're gonna have different models much cleaner now uh now we do need to get into the discussion of copyright and now that there's a business being built out of this yeah who gets paid because if you are giving this advice uh and it's been trained on web md or other commercial enterprises data there's an argument like can i get another side i'm saying what if they got textbooks textbooks those textbooks trust me those are some of the most insane uh but they could have licensed them we don't know i don't think oh i have not heard of open ai paying a single license have you well many textbooks are out of copyright right what's the copyright uh you can keep um you can keep if you update them you can keep them perpetually under so if you were to like just change a sentence you could then renew it oh really uh yeah so it's you're talking about artworks like a book like great gatsby or something like that and those can be i think it's 75 years or 50 years past the life of uh you just ask chat gpt what's the copyright on a book but i think it's 50 years after the author dies um and then it goes into public domain but they keep increasing that and they call it the mickey mouse rule so i think they made it 75 after the life of the thing because of when roy disney died they wanted to add 75 years to that to protect the disney family so they call it the disney rule now but yeah here we go the copyright duration for textbooks united states works published in 1976 it lasts the life of the author plus 70 years exactly what i said for works created for higher anonymous or student works the duration is 95 years of the publication 120 years creation whichever is shorter european in general is life of the author plus 70 years uh copyright laws can vary significantly most countries life plus 70 years rule okay wow interesting so you learn something new every day on chat yeah there you do we do all right uh do we want to do one more i think we have time for one more if you had one or we could just wrap up it's up to you okay we'll do one more we'll do one more right we'll give the audience what they want we'll give them what they want okay so this let me get this set up uh and i i i actually found this and want to use it myself and so let me go here um this is called fake spot reviews analysis and so this was like a historical plugin that you could add to your chrome and you can see it here i have it uh added in and on any um you know a couple of different sites i'm just on amazon here for those listening you can see here i can say analyze reviews of the you know third generation airpods so you click this analyze reviews okay and so it's like a chrome extension you put in it's a it's a chrome extension got it and you know before it would do these pros and cons but now it has this little chat bot here and this chat bot lets you chat with all the reviews i like that and so uh are the air uh pros good for large ears let's just say okay stupid question but basically you know like someone may have and uh um and there you go right so it's it's kind of looked through all the reviews it can give you an answer i think that's like super no this is super helpful because i am often trying to being a product wizard myself yeah ask very nuanced questions and yeah it's very hard to get through all the things but i know how to search there is a search feature in the amazon reviews but i oh there is okay i didn't have a search feature but they don't have a chatbot okay and so you're searching for keywords and so you can search for battery or yeah whatever you're you're looking for you know if you're looking for the charging speed or whatever you know so yeah fantastic awesome uh so i give that a b that's a that's a b for me okay um all right you know it's nothing spectacular nothing bad i give it a b minus like i would have liked to see something more interesting like it um and so i encourage people making it to make it more than i would expect i don't just want a chat bot that's going to be like easy they could turn that on in 10 seconds yeah you know really easily turn on 10 seconds so um i would go with something more unique what would be a unique feature to do with the reviews maybe tell me sentiment of the reviews over time yeah so how how many months of reviews are there and what were the major um what were the major comment they actually they don't have quite that but they have like uh you know it has this many reviews and yeah it has some some amount of that stuff i'd like to tell me if there's fake reviews too i mean i think it's cool i'll be honest yeah it does okay maybe it says it says amazon rating is this but fake spot adjusted rating is this oh yeah yeah i that i like okay i'm gonna go b i'm gonna go b plus maybe even yeah because i that's a that's an acute problem i have i think when you're tackling this you always got to think about you know um you got to think about what are the unique problems or frustrations people have and the unique problem frustrations with reviews is how fake they are yeah or how fake they seem and so that's something we could all use help with yeah all right i'm kind of with you b plus i think is good you can always make it better um let's do it yeah well also i think back to anticipating if whatever question i'm asking there you ask the question are they good for large years it should be asking what other airpod competitors are good for large ears or which so you should whatever query somebody does you should have another gpt running that says what are their questions should i ask this this potential purchaser in order to help them solve their problem correct and then show you those three purchase yeah drive you should be um oh is this is this for you or for a loved one or yeah um and how large are your ears have you ever tried other have you do you have air do you have any ear ones currently that work well which brand are they or have you considered these three other brands we hear that they have you know um it turns out the ones from google that i like the pixel buds yeah i like the pixel buds because they're flat flat yeah you said on your ear so when you lay on your pillow at night with your airpods you you ever get that you ever try to lay on your pillow with airpods oh yeah you wake up it hurts yeah okay hey uh producer john producer court do me a favor uh will you send uh mr sundip a set of google pixel buds from the fine folks at this weekend startups so say thank you okay that's mr sundip sorry i say thank you to mr sunday i'm trying to teach young kids some manners here you guys just get mr sundip is here uh i like referring to people by their last name it's so jarring so jarring to call mr calicanus yeah yeah yeah did you have that happening now that people are like who work for you or who work in your orbit call you mr calicanus only when you like travel like you know in like certain countries and you get it right like oh man i'm like don't i'm like i turn around at least you must have had it i'm like is my dad here did my dad come with me yeah it's mr calicanus it's been another amazing episode of this week in stars with your guy sandeep madra if you would like uh go to definitive.io and uh you can hire definitive intelligence to do partnerships and consultations but i think their dance cards full so if you're a large company and you're spending uh you know let's say mid figure mid six figures engagement to solve your ai problems his team is the one that will solve them very quick um that dashboard that you wanted llm ops dashboard we'll do it for you oh yeah what wait what does that just remind me what we want to do no so like that you know what we were talking about there is called llm ops like llm operations so i think a lot of businesses now are focusing on commercializing you know llm applications and you need like operations around it so that you can do those kind of things and so yeah for sure helping with a lot of that infrastructure ah got it yeah that just the infrastructure here and the training of teams is going to take a couple years to get this right uh and definitive.io will do it for you faster and you're in a race folks so get on the horn with sunny he's sundip on twitter slash x formerly known as twitter and we'll see you all next time on this week in startups hey write a review if you like the show talk to you later bye
