About this episode
FW₿054 - TikTok Next Block
Ian and Mandana discuss the recent testimony of the CEO of TikTok in Congress and about a letter signed by tech leaders like Elon Musk and Steve Wozniak, among others, calling for a halt to open AI development and how this connects to Bitcoin and the opinions of the Bitcoin community. The episode also touched upon OpenAI, a company that started as a nonprofit, which aimed to open-source all AI technology to prevent anyone from having an upper hand in the industry and creating dangerous robots. OpenAI eventually became a for-profit company and partnered with Microsoft, which bought a stake in the company, but Microsoft doesn't own OpenAI. The podcast explained why tech leaders are concerned about OpenAI and AI models, and how a billion-dollar investment in OpenAI by Microsoft could potentially result in complete control over the company.
