My conversation with OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman This is the most detailed first-person account of the 72 hours after Sam Altman was fired. We also go deep on what comes next: the global race to AGI, why ChatGPT stopped showing reasoning, how much of OpenAI's own code is now written by AI ("it's hard to know what percent is not"), and the untold story of how OpenAI actually started in 2015. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:00:49 Meeting Sam Altman and Starting OpenAI 00:02:40 Building the Founding Team 00:04:25 DeepMind's Lead Over OpenAI 00:04:54 Changing OpenAI to a For-Profit Model 00:06:05 Breakthrough Moments at OpenAI 00:08:22 What Dota 2 Meant for OpenAI 00:10:04 Reasoning Versus Prediction 00:11:59 Tensions Grow at OpenAI 00:15:44 Sam Altman's Firing 00:17:49 Greg Quits OpenAI 00:19:56 Sam Explores Deal with Microsoft's Satya 00:20:28 Petition for Altman's Return 00:23:43 Ilya Sutskever Leaves OpenAI 00:24:59 Lessons Learned after Sam Ousting 00:28:22 The Thing Ilya Said that Greg Can't Forget 00:32:22 Is AI Going Parabolic? 00:33:24 How Much of OpenAI's Code is Written by AI? 00:36:21 Do AI Chatbots Tell Us What We Want to Hear? 00:38:06 The Global AI Race to Reach AGI 00:38:40 What Happens if US Doesn't Reach AGI First? 00:39:49 Are Countries Stealing AI Advancements? 00:40:38 Why ChatGPT No Longer Shows Reasoning 00:41:47 The Finite Constraints of Compute 00:43:38 On Investing Early in Data Centers 00:46:31 The Future of Data Center Specialization 00:47:52 How to Decide Whose Queries to Serve 00:49:08 OpenAI on Consumer vs Enterprise Models 00:53:05 Data Centers in Space? 01:00:56 What Should AI Regulation Look Like? 01:04:33 The Future of AI-Powered Entrepreneurship 01:04:44 AI and Job Loss 01:07:15 The Skills Young People Should Invest In 01:11:30 What Does Success Look Like For You?

It's brain versus AI time. Here's our full episode with Sebastian Seung. He's started a new company to reverse engineer the brain and master the intelligence created by nature with the hopes of informing the intelligence we've created with machines. Sebastian has done pioneering AI and neuroscience work and is now blending the two to make a digital brain. Mostly, he's fun to listen to. The Core Memory podcast is made by possible by the intelligent finance powerhouse Brex and the people who back the biggest ideas @e1ventures.

"If NASA and United States can not beat the Chinese back to the moon, then the moon belongs to the Chinese, and we get what we deserve." You don't want to miss this interview. I met Casey Handmer (Casey Handmer) while flying fighter jets in Montana. I Immediately I knew he had a story to tell. Turns out he wants to tile the United States in solar panels, and use that power to generate rocket fuel and clean water for tens of millions of people. Basically to re-invent American industry. In this interview Casey discusses the innovative pursuits of his company Terraform Industries. He reflects on his previous roles at NASA and JPL, where he was frustrated with the inefficiencies and lack of innovation in traditional institutions. Handmer discusses the importance of ambition, self-awareness, curiosity, and practical experience in hiring and developing talent at Terraform. To fully understand the scope of Casey’s ambitions, you should visit his blog where he discusses things like Mars helicopters and desalination to support a new mega city in California. 00:00:00 - 00:00:17 Geopolitical Stakes: US vs. China in Space Race 00:00:17 - 00:01:17 Interview Introduction: Casey's Background and Topics 00:01:17 - 00:03:10 Podcast Setup and Welcome to Terraform Industries 00:03:10 - 00:04:40 Building History and Manufacturing Interest 00:04:40 - 00:07:17 Meeting at Hangar Event and Aircraft Engineering 00:07:17 - 00:20:45 Early Life: Hands-On Building and Career Path 00:20:45 - 00:40:00 Founding Terraform: Synthetic Fuels Vision and Prototypes 00:40:00 - 01:00:00 Technology Deep Dive: Solar to Hydrocarbons and Scaling 01:00:00 - 01:20:00 Energy Geopolitics and US Reindustrialization 01:20:00 - 01:40:00 Team Building, Hiring Philosophy, and Company Culture 01:40:00 - 02:00:00 Hardware vs. Software Challenges and Entrepreneur Advice 02:00:00 - 02:22:24 Future Visions: Desalination and New Cities 02:22:24 - 02:36:39 Closing Call to Action and Thanks

Aidan Gomez (Aidan Gomez) is a computer scientist, co-author of the seminal paper ‘Attention Is All You Need,’ and the CEO of Cohere. In this episode, we discussed his upbringing in the cabin his grandfather built in Codrington, a small town North of Brighton, and the values that were instilled in him through his family. We explored his path from Codrington to his undergraduate studies at the University of Toronto, emailing Geoffrey Hinton, and joining Google Brain where he co-wrote the paper on transformers. We discussed how he met his co-founders Ivan Zhang and Nick Frosst, and his insights on what it means to build a meaningful, successful company in Canada. Aidan shares his conviction about what is at stake — for Canada and for the world at large. This is a conversation about family, values, and what it means to live with conviction. The Other Stuff is hosted by internetVin — filmmaker, entrepreneur, and possibly the most curious man on Earth. Produced by New.

It has been a long time since I made a video. I am sharing a deep dive into 2fac, a new 2FA app I built to replace Authy. What makes this project special is its massive scope, running natively across Android, iOS, watchOS, desktop, CLI, browser extensions, and the web. Building this many features across so many platforms was only possible through agentic coding. Huge thanks to Copilot, Claude, OpenCode, and Pi for completely changing how I write software. Here is what is covered in the video. In the pre-AI world, so many features, taking it to such a polished state (ui, design, relialibility of how it works, and quality of code too, you can take a look for yourelf) single handedly, that too working on spare time on the side from a day job, was simply not possible for non 10x, mid engineers like me 00:00:00 Project Overview & Motivation 00:03:31 Android App Demo 00:04:19 iOS & watchOS App Demo 00:05:32 Desktop App Demo 00:06:05 System Tray Integration 00:07:05 CLI Demo 00:08:44 Browser Extension Demo 00:10:00 Web App (PWA) Demo 00:11:40 Secure Unlock & Passkeys 00:16:30 GitHub Repo & Release Plans 00:17:30 CI/CD Pipeline Setup 00:19:00 AI Agentic Coding Workflow 00:23:50 Production Usage Warning 00:26:00 Custom AI Agent Skills 00:28:30 Automated Planning & Roadmaps 00:31:14 UI Testing with Maestro 00:35:12 Creating Custom AI Agents 00:38:34 Codebase Test Coverage 00:41:30 AI-Driven TDD

.Jerry Tworek is an AI legend. He came to OpenAI from the world of finance and spent years contributing to some of the company's most important projects. He played a major role in ushering in the era of reasoning and, well, he just left OpenAI.
