Are you ready for AI that sounds indistinguishable from a human? The future is arriving faster than you might think.
In this episode, Chris and Yaniv dive into the latest developments in AI, from NVIDIA's blockbuster earnings to Amazon's new AI-powered Alexa to eerily realistic voice models that left Chris feeling emotional. They explore the economic impacts rippling through the tech industry and beyond.
In this episode, you will:
- Analyze NVIDIA's latest earnings and what they reveal about the state of the AI chip market
- Examine potential tensions between Microsoft and OpenAI over AI model distillation
- Evaluate Amazon's strategy to compete in AI through Alexa, despite lacking a frontier model
- Experience the uncanny valley of next-generation voice AI that sounds shockingly human
- Understand the current impact of AI on jobs, based on Anthropic's latest report
- Consider how AI is reshaping tasks within jobs rather than fully automating entire roles
- Reflect on whether this wave of AI disruption is truly different from past technological revolutions
