John MercureHOST
Are you disappointed with the lack of Democrats and Republicans willing to actually work together?
Tommy ThompsonGUEST
I mean, when you run for public office, what do you run for public office? To do something for people.
Tommy ThompsonGUEST
And you get elected, and I always felt, you know, once you got elected, then you had to represent everybody.

Episode 173: Generative AI

Pos- possibly many people would disagree with me on that, but, uh, it's, it's undeniably gotten a lot better than it has been.

6:44Tommy ThompsonGUEST
Like, certainly I think, um, if you go back to, so when GPT, uh, 3 and 4 have kind of came along, like, I think that was really when the conversations around is this now viable, um, for use in an awful lot of...
T
7:02Tommy ThompsonGUEST
So I remember I was at GDC, um, in the US in, when GPT-4 came out, and that was in, what, 2023.
T
7:10Tommy ThompsonGUEST
And I remember, so I, um, full disclosure on this, I was, um, a member of the advisory board for the AI summit at GDC, and now they don't, they don't actually run the summits anymore, as of, well, as of this year.
T
7:22Tommy ThompsonGUEST
But I remember that just becoming a dominating conversation throughout the entire week, everyone saying, "Well, are we still gonna be doing this a year or two from now?" Uh, because the system, like, people were trying out what GPT-4 was capable of and saying, "Right, well, this is, this is a, a real game changer." And I think it kinda speaks to a lot of the state of the games industry.
