Join host ⁠@osaket⁠ (⁠https://twitter.com/osamasaket⁠) and Walid (⁠https://twitter.com/walidalbermani⁠) kicking off this episode with a large discussion covering a range of topics including upcoming AI-related software, Company bias towards AI, updates on Meta Quest, the importance of reflection for growth, the influence of age on job performance, and the impact of societal changes on work values.
Join host @osaket (https://twitter.com/osamasaket) and Walid (https://twitter.com/walidalbermani) kicking off with Walid's recent Bali adventure and a lively chat about motorbike rides in the picturesque locale. Transitioning from travel tales, they delve into the corporate world, discussing Walid concluded WeWork contract and speculating about the future of the company. Their conversation then ventures into the tumultuous stock market landscape, exploring the implications of tech industry layoffs and the broader economic landscape. Small business challenges and the demise of tech firms make their way into the dialogue, briefly touching on significant acquisitions and retail innovations. The discussion meanders through payment woes, Twitter's potential fee structure, and tech entrepreneurs like Peter Levels and Elon Musk's ambitious plans. They also ponder the rise and fall of decentralized platforms and crypto's quest for independence. Shifting gears, they analyze Australia's corporate giants, anti-capitalist sentiment, and the allure of replicating WeChat's success, leaving viewers contemplating Apple's future moves. The video concludes with their thoughts on the iPhone 15, button placements, and the evolving tech landscape, making for an engaging and thought-provoking session.
The discussion covered a range of topics including the use of social media for business growth, the influence of social media on younger generations, the mixed reviews of the Barbie movie, AI software for doctors, the reduced output quality of ChatGPT, and the potential uses and target market for virtual reality. Key points and Insights: Facebook ads may not always provide a good return on investment, and businesses should focus on providing value through apps or products. Growing a business on social media requires careful planning and consideration of traditional marketing methods. Different generations have different preferences and behaviors when it comes to purchasing decisions. Virtual reality, such as the PlayStation VR headset and Oculus, offers immersive gaming experiences. The AI software for doctors has potential benefits but raises concerns about legalities and insurance coverage. Traditional marketing methods like flyers, letter drops, and local school calendars can still be effective. ChatGPT's output quality has been reduced, possibly to incentivize users to pay for better results. Social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter are constantly evolving with new features. The younger generation is experiencing a different social media landscape compared to previous generations. Altitude sickness can be treated with Viagra due to its blood vessel dilation properties. The Oculus has various use cases, including gaming, health apps, and watching videos. Influencers are monetizing their platforms through exclusive content and partnerships. The Barbie movie received mixed reviews due to its focus on patriarchy.

Join host Osama (https://twitter.com/osamasaket) and Walid (https://twitter.com/walidalbermani) in this captivating episode of the Why I Did It Show (#5), the episode discusses new startup ideas based on trends, with a focus on AI-based companies gaining traction. AI is seen as a useful tool that can bring value to everyone, but there is a call for regulation on AI. Governments are implementing AI to improve development processes, but there are concerns about AI's exponential growth and difficulty in keeping up with it. Australia hopes to make the country a hub for AI, and it is important to implement AI in every sector. The speakers also discuss the dangers of misinformation and the possibility of bias and bad outcomes if AI is monetized and controlled by companies like Microsoft. Martin Shkreli launches DrGupta.ai, an AI related to medicine, which is a subscription-based platform that costs $20 a month for unlimited messages and early access to new features. The legality of AI doctors is questionable, and the speakers are interested in watching the development of AI doctors and are curious if people would use them. The podcast also touches on the Elizabeth Holmes fraud case and the Hollywood industry losing relevance.
