Dust settles as OpenAI hits the one year mark, Google's big release and more | Blue Hour Ep 34

And we’re back this week for Episode 34! Join us as we record in the same room for the first time, and certainly not the last.
Last episode ended with Sam Altman’s departure from OpenAI and Erich’s hot take that he would be back before too long... As OpenAI faced the potential reality of loosing 700+ employees, Altman is indeed back as CEO within five days of his termination. In short, there’s no good answer and much conjecture as to what precipitated these events, but join us as we explore it all.
Next up we explore Google’s latest announcement, the release of Gemini, their ChatGPT4 competitor. With an emphasis on multimodality, they’ve released 3 versions; Ultra, to use with large data sets, Pro, as a ChatGPT3.5 competitor, and Nano for mobile devices. Of course there’s already much back and forth regarding superiority, but some of the only practical demos we’ve found seem to lean ChatGPT. We’re very excited to see how it all unfolds.
Join us soon for part two of this episode!
