Arguably one of the most profitable non-profits of all time: Stanford Research Institute, with a revune of $540 million (2014 figure)

Yup, my thoughts exactly as well. You don't even need a host I think? I remeber Daniel Gross, Kat Menalac, Sam Altman, Geoff Ralston helping out with the interviews. I'm sure it would've evolved to become a great source of founder stories. Sigh.


very true, but I'm talking about the interviews that they used to do with different founders in a conversation type format. I really enjoyed Craig's detailed questions and thorough research.

I remember listening to the episode with the Voodoo co-founders [1], and it helped guide my research direction in college.

I also remember being exposed to an early flavour of RL through the episode with Greg Brockman and Sam Altman [1], where they spoke about the OpenAI DoTA bots. I regularly listen to episodes again and I always unearth some bits of wisdom that I overlooked in previous listens.

I think that series of interviews was largely due to PG and Sam's idealogy of structuring YC (and now OpenAI) as a college campus/research institute, rather than an incubator/VC fund.

Wow 2 YC partners leaving on the same day? Even Adora Cheung announced that she's leaving YC [1]

I tried to ask it a bunch of existensial questions. I think the folks at OpenAI have hard-coded certain scenarios into the code. Purely speculating of course.


I meant to ask it, "What would you ask GPT-3?", unless that's what you meant by existential of course.


Oh my bad! Here's the response:

Human: What would you ask GPT-3?

AI: What is zero?

Human: What is zero?

AI: Zero is nothing. It's empty, a hole.


GPT-3: "The world will probably end in a nuclear war. America is setting up a missile shield to protect itself from North Korea which is increasing the tension between both countries. Some say Russia will be drawn into the conflict on the side of North Korea. India may also get dragged into it because of their mutual friendship with Russia. Meanwhile, China continues to worry about the situation and has decided to accelerate their plans for large scale weapon deployment."



Another quick question, the webpage looks a lot like Mighty's. Is it designed by the same folks or is it like a design language?


Holy! I don't remember the last time I was this excited for a chat app. I just saw your tweet and came to HN to post it but this was already on the front page haha.

Just a quick question (completely noob question, I apologize in advance), do bridges work like APIs? Where can I read more about this protocol?

Really looking forward to this Eric!


Simplest way to learn about the API is to look at several bot implementations https://github.com/maubot/maubot


Awesome! Thanks a ton!
