I love everything that you do. I genuinely can't believe it took me as long as it did to find your work. It's Charlie Hooper from Charisma on Command that said you'd been a gateway drug for him to a bunch of other stuff. And I get the sense you're kind of an underground hero in sort of the self-work world who's now becoming increasingly less underground. Because of you.

and open ai you're now the head of what at open ai no not head um i just i'm working there maybe like 25 days this year but i'm um working with the compute and research teams so basically the management of the of the folks who are creating the technology yeah it's uh it's great work the the

44.585 - 65.812 Joe Hudson

The cool thing is that when I think about generally like the creation of technology or the creation of art or the creation of this podcast, it's a reflection of the consciousness of the people who are creating it. And so to be able to be in there and work about with consciousness and how the culture's consciousness is and how the people interact with each other and how they view themselves.

66.432 - 69.434 Joe Hudson

To me, it's a complete honor to be able to work there with them.

69.474 - 77.059 Chris Williamson

Because you're further up than all of the things that are going to come after that. All of the products, the branding, the way that they deploy this stuff. Yeah, that's interesting.

77.939 - 99.35 Joe Hudson

And they're just sweethearts. I can't tell you, once that news came out, so many people came to me with a lot of fear. There's a lot of fear in the AI space. And I understand why people have the fear. Not the... both the people on the outside and the inside. Like, oh, this is a revolutionary technology. What's going to happen? We don't actually know. So fear arises.

100.211 - 109.838 Joe Hudson

And I think what surprised me about it is just like, especially open AI, just the folks are just sweeties. Like they're just like such lovely humans.

110.779 - 114.662 Unidentified

Yeah. What drives you? What are you trying to achieve with your work?

117.765 - 145.717 Joe Hudson

Yeah. So what I would say is that Generally, we have this epidemic of stress and lack of enjoyment in our society right now. And the thing about that is that it's corrosive both on an individual and on a societal level. So individually, it means that we do not learn as well. It means that we make bad decisions. It means that we don't get the world that we want.
