  • Meh

    Recent Ep with Amex acquisition was quite a fail. Honestly I felt quite disappointed as it felt like propaganda. His assertion within days we deploy nexus what a BS. Second was growth vs cost cutting assertion. Sure yawn!

    Love this podcast—one of the most insightful and forward-thinking takes on AI out there. Conversations are sharp, high-signal, and feature people who are actually building the future. Every episode leaves me with new ideas and a sense of excitement about what’s coming next.

  • One of my favorite podcasts

    There are so many podcasts out there about or by VCs, but No Priors has always stood out to me because they go deep, really asking good questions and going beyond high-level points to actually get to the good stuff. Some of the more recent interviews are really stellar. I don’t subscribe to many podcasts but this is one I’ll likely be a proud subscriber of for years to come.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Taking on ServiceNow: Coding Agents the Rest of Us with Serval Co-Founder and CEO Jake Stauch
Q: What is your view on the SaaS-pocalypse or this sort of shift in SaaS versus AI?
Stauch expects companies to consolidate point solutions and middleware, but says building and maintaining enterprise systems of record remains difficult and costly. He expects those core categories to persist, though new platforms may displace existing vendors.
Taking on ServiceNow: Coding Agents the Rest of Us with Serval Co-Founder and CEO Jake Stauch
Q: What was frustrating for users about it?
Stauch says ServiceNow can be difficult and expensive to build on, often requiring consultants and taking six to twelve months to implement ideas, so it can lag behind changing business needs.
The Changing Physics of Cybersecurity and Drug Development with OpenAI President Greg Brockman
Q: And how are you building guardrails, or how are you approaching the different aspects of cyber security?
Brockman describes a defender's window in which capable models can help organizations find and fix vulnerabilities before similar capabilities become broadly available. He says OpenAI is providing access to defenders, reviewing its own systems with models and working toward more secure software.
The Changing Physics of Cybersecurity and Drug Development with OpenAI President Greg Brockman
Q: How do you at OpenAI currently stack rank the different areas of scientific endeavor in terms of where you're focused, where you want to generate more data or more results or more capabilities that others can benefit from?
Brockman says drug discovery is the clearest priority because of its potential to improve quality of life. He expects AI to accelerate parts of the process, while noting that biology data, wet-lab work and other bottlenecks still need to be addressed.
The New Apex Predator: CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz on Adversaries Armed With AI Agents
Q: Why is that insufficient? You have a capability argument based on harness your understanding internally data. Is there anything else structurally that you think is important for an independent security vendor here?
Kurtz says CrowdStrike's security-focused models can be cheaper than frontier models, benefit from the company's years of security data and specialized harness, and help customers keep sensitive information under their control while retaining model choice.
