So we have been giving podcast-host

Grants, small grants, but we've been giving basically research grants to these people over time. podcast-host

A sixteen Z has had a grant program for a while. podcast-host

I've done a bunch uh directly and you know, just like no strings attached, you know, grants to just kind of you know you know, let let people like this kind of play out their ideas and see and see where they go. podcast-host

But you know, historically when people this smart work on something this interesting, you you know, down the road you're just like, wow, that you know, that that was the beginning of something. podcast-host

And so anyway, so this this guy basically Andy Andy Andy Ari. podcast-host

Um, you know, he started training, I think uh it was a customized version of of Llama 70 so the 70 billion parameter of Lama. podcast-host

And and so that's the sort of mid-size model that that Meta uh in, you know, disclaimer, I'm on the board of Meta, but that you know, we put that out as a meta put that out as an open source model a while ago. podcast-host

And so there's what they call Llama 70B. podcast-host

And so he he basically took a version of Llama 70B and then he did this very interesting thing, which he started training it. podcast-host

I think first he started training it as I understand on himself. podcast-host

And so he and there's this idea floating around of like you're starting to hear about which is like the digital twin, right? podcast-host

Which is like, you know, the digital twin idea is like if Ben is like a CEO coach, but you know, he can only work with so many people, but he could feed all everything he's ever written and said into a language model, and then you could have a digital twin of Ben that could that you could talk to when Ben's not available. podcast-host

And so so that's actually starting to happen in the industry. podcast-host

But Ben or sorry, Andy did this. podcast-host

uh with himself and then he started training it basically on a lot of sort of internet like internet culture material which is how it picked up the the goosey meme. podcast-host

So he sort started feeding it like all of these like records of internet culture and then all of these basically like works about, you know, this concept of what's called memetics, which is like how you know creating memes, you know, creating ideas to spread virally. podcast-host

We started training it on that. podcast-host

What could go wrong? podcast-host

Yeah, yeah. podcast-host
