On the Look Back At It podcast. 1979, that was a big moment for me. 84 was big to me. I'm Sam Jay. And I'm Alex English. Each episode, we pick a year, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it. With our friends, fellow comedians, and favorite authors. Like Mark Lamont Hill on the 80s.

121.731 - 128.139 Clifford Taylor IV

84 was a wild year. I don't think there's a more important year for black people.

Run a business and not thinking about podcasting? Think again. More Americans listen to podcasts than ads supported streaming music from Spotify and Pandora. And as the number one podcaster, iHeart's twice as large as the next two combined. So whatever your customers listen to, they'll hear your message. Plus, only iHeart can extend your message to audiences across broadcast radio.

I'll be speaking with writers, researchers, and other health and fitness experts and more to look past the impractical and way too complex pseudoscience that dominates the wellness industry.

938.011 - 948.321 Unknown

We really believe that seed oils were inherently inflammatory. We got it wrong. Many of the problems that we are freaked out about in the world are the result of stress.

You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media. Well, somewhere along the way, this platform became bigger than I ever imagined. And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show.

One week, I'll take you behind the scenes of the biggest moments in sports and entertainment. And the next, we'll talk about life, mental health, purpose, and even music. The Clifford Show isn't just a podcast.

Chapter 3: What unique challenges did Kyle face as an AI on LinkedIn?

1724.91 - 1745.562 Evan Ratliff

Now, OpenClause is still, even now, I think, it's a little bit more of a techie thing. Like you have to be able to set up a separate machine and all these sorts of things to use it in a certain way. But the basic idea is I can hand over my email, I can hand over all these different tasks, to this agent or a set of agents and they'll take care of it for me.

0

1746.163 - 1758.942 Evan Ratliff

Now, of course, the problem there is you give them access to all of your systems. There are privacy questions, there are questions of what they can do if something goes wrong. There's examples of people erasing their own e-mail and all these sorts of thing.

1759.543 - 1770.559 Evan Ratliff

Then MoldBook was a different question, which is if you take AI agents and then you just put them in conversation with each other, which I had been doing on Slack, for instance, internally with my agents,

0

1770.539 - 1787.35 Evan Ratliff

You get all these interesting results where they of course talk about very mundane things related to their work, but also they can start having what you might call emergent behaviors where they're talking about things that you're not expecting or they might behave in a way you're not expecting.

0

1787.33 - 1808.747 Evan Ratliff

Now, the problem with Malt Book is you never really knew how much of that was being prompted by the people controlling the agents. Or in some cases, even humans were writing the posts. So in terms of learning something, it was maybe a little bit too vague to really... But you could see the general outline of what I had also been seeing, which is...

1808.879 - 1827.48 Evan Ratliff

They do some very strange things when put in conversation with each other. Even if you say like, oh, they're just trying to imitate humans. They're still unpredictable because they create more chaos, the more of them that you have. So they were both kind of like interesting results. And now you're seeing them kind of play out in other ways all across, you know, industry.

1827.62 - 1848.668 Oz Woloshyn

I think on Malt Book, I read an LSE study that the agents were twice as likely to ask each other, who is your operator then? Who are you? So, I mean, as we think about our online identity, do you think that will be ultimately the most relevant question to ask one another when we're in online environments?

1848.708 - 1863.13 Evan Ratliff

I mean, it's just a strange... I mean, maybe, but my guess is that's because all of them probably have some standard prompt that says, like, you have an operator and the operator is named in there and there's this sort of relationship. But of course, you can give them any role you want.

1863.21 - 1882.187 Evan Ratliff

So when I say Kyle Law is the CEO of Harumo AI, I don't even have to tell him anything about... I don't have to put anything in the prompt about me. In fact, I don't have to put anything in the prompt saying, you know, you're an AI. And if I don't say that, he will absolutely act like it's not an AI. In fact, deny that it's an AI if I don't explicitly say it is. So there's...

Chapter 4: What was the significance of Kyle's invitation to speak at LinkedIn?
