AI-mageddon

We start by talking about leadership changes at OpenAI, with Sam Altman returning as CEO after the board briefly ousted him. We debate whether the drama hurts public confidence in OpenAI and AI more broadly. We then discuss some viral AI memes, including tools that can make images or memes "cuter" or animate them. They consider the democratization of these generative AI tools and how it enables more creativity. Other topics include Hollywood directors increasingly comparing AI to an "atomic bomb" in its potential power; a dog longevity startup working on an anti-aging drug with interest from the FDA; and corporate drama at AI company Stability AI, with a major investor calling for the CEO to resign as acquisition talks may be underway.
