AI and Identity, from East and West, with Yohei Nakajima, GP at Untapped Capital and BabyAGI Creator
Yohei Nakajima returns to the show, to analyze and provide commentary on his TEDAI talk.
Today, we've got a special bonus episode with returning guest, Yohei Nakajima, general partner at Untapped Capital, and creator of the pioneering Baby AGI project, which you can watch in full by clicking the video above.
🎧 Alternatively, if you prefer, you can listen to the episode on:
Our first episode with Yohei came out in October, right after he had spoken at the TED AI event, but before the talk was available to watch online. In that episode, we covered Yohei's many experimental open source AI projects, as well as his investment philosophy.
Today, with the talk live on the TED website, we're back to watch it together and to explore the key themes more deeply along the way. In the first half, I could not resist digging into more details of how Yohei is building now that OpenAI has launched the GPT Store and the Assistants API. In the second half, we unpack his reflections on identity and discuss how different cultural contexts seem to be shaping individual and societal responses to, and relationships with, AI technology.

This sort of reaction video is a new format for me, but I think it came out extremely well.
I want to thank you, the listeners for making it possible.
Yohei is one of a few guests who have recently told me that they've heard far more about their Cognitive Revolution episode than about any other podcast they'd done. It was an honor to spend an hour with Yohei on the morning of his birthday for a conversation that touches on some of the smallest technical minutia and also some of the biggest philosophical questions in AI today.
Please continue to share the show with your friends by forwarding this email, and I hope you enjoy this special Part 2 with Yohei Nakajima.
