Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Can businesses trust AI?
Q: Is it worth it?
Maria Flynn says productivity gains have not yet broadly appeared, but businesses should engage thoughtfully, train workers, verify outputs and use AI strategically rather than adopt it out of pressure.
Can businesses trust AI?
Q: What is it about these large language models, as AI is often called, that make it hallucinate like this?
JV Royg says models are trained both to align with facts and to be helpful. Because they predict likely text and are often rewarded for answering rather than abstaining, they can produce plausible but incorrect responses.
Follow the Money: Your Diwali gold necklace
Q: What does gold do for you that bonds or dollars don't?
Jan Kubíček says gold is a physical asset that is nobody's liability, because nobody owes the holder money.
Follow the Money: Your Diwali gold necklace
Q: What does it take to produce an ounce of gold?
John Reed estimates that mining one ounce requires processing 30 to 40 tonnes of gold-bearing rock and mining another 50 to 100 tonnes of waste rock.
Founders: The entrepreneur betting AI will replace apps
Q: Has there ever been a moment for you or you're facing a decision at Brain where doing the right thing might potentially lose money, but actually it's the right thing for human beings?
Yue says the company has rejected acquisition offers from well-resourced companies because integrating its system into existing products would prevent it from realizing its vision for a new computing architecture.
