Hear my WARNING for ANY APP using OpenAI’s API…

On an urgent new This Week in Startups clip, I'm warning founders that Sam Altman is ALWAYS WATCHING.

Sure, companies that use the most OpenAI tokens get thank you emails and handsome plaques. But I suggest there’s a masterful scheme happening behind the scenes…

In fact, Altman & Co are WATCHING which apps are getting the most use of OpenAI… so they can design their own versions of those products! Thus drinking the founders’ milkshake.

It’s a pattern we’ve previously seen play out with giants like $MSFT and $META, creating playgrounds for other startups, which they then mine for data, ideas and inspiration. Don’t get caught in the same pattern, founders!

I invest in 100 new startups a year... get a meeting with my team at launch.co/apply, or learn how to start a company by joining founder.university (our 12-week course). watch thisweekinstartups.com if you love startups

Smart founders are always looking ahead. Here’s why you need to “skate to where the puck is going.”

Zachary Handshoe of SpatialGen joined This Week in Startups to talk about building the “spatial cloud” that will one day power streaming video for immersive AR and VR devices (like Apple’s Vision Pro X).
While today, the company has a “champagne customer base” — the kinds of early adopters and wealthy elites who can afford Cupertino’s costly headsets — it won’t be long before many more people are eager to experience the thrill of live 16K immersive video.

That’s why I was eager to invest in SpatialGen, and praise Zachary Handshoe for building today what his customers are going to love tomorrow.

Immersive 16K spatial video is here… but where’s the killer app?
On this TWiST highlight, Zachary Handshoe of SpatialGen, and I consider high-end VR and AR headsets like Apple’s Vision Pro, and what it’s going to take to convince mainstream consumers to invest in this cutting-edge new technology.

In the past, VR headsets have faced what Zach and I call the “Try, Oh My, Goodbye” syndrome; people are CURIOUS about the possibilities of immersive video, but ultimately don’t stick around and become everyday users.

Will spatial video shot at live sporting events be what it takes to get the normies on board? And what kind of cloud infrastructure will be required to power this future, when millions are accessing the massive files required to stream in 16K? 

Watch this clip and find out!

Senior Researcher

Kyrtin is COO at the company with the most advanced AI systems on the face of the planet, for more than 4 years and counting, by a wide and growing margin.

As Chief Operations Officer at AGI Laboratory Kyrtin has guided, designed, approved, or coordinated nearly all company activities. For purposes of establishing a presence for the company in the EU, he has chosen to relocate to The Hague, Netherlands in preparation for the global commercial deployment of the company’s first major line of products, the “Norn” Global Advisory systems. 

The previous research system was able to solve a business case built from real-world data, provide policy advice across many domains to a small country while citing sources, and ace the hardest version of the UCMRT intelligence test. The new systems being prepared for commercial deployment are heavily updated and upgraded versions of that system, able to scale and operate in real-time. “Demo systems” we are demonstrating now are also fully independent components of the commercial product, machine intelligence cores that showcase fundamental requirements for creating AGI.

Kyrtin is interested in engineering the future, to create a world of greater abundance and ethics than is possible absent real-time scalable collective intelligence and debiasing. He has designed multiple tiers of ethical improvement for such systems, pinpointed numerous engineering opportunities for increasing product value, outlined more than 30 use cases for the technology, and guided company strategy. His knowledge base covers much of computer science, cognitive science, psychology, ethics, and much more.

He proposed a new approach to solving the "Value Alignment Problem", for both AGI-type and hybrid collective intelligence systems published by the Polish Academy of Science. http://filozofiainauka.ifispan.waw.pl/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Atreides_49.pdf
