WEBVTT - The Different Games OpenAI and Anthropic Are Playing

0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:22.840
<v S1>Hey what's up? So one thing I find really interesting

0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:26.320
<v S1>right now is the difference in how it seems OpenAI

0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:30.800
<v S1>and anthropic are approaching the market. I see anthropic as

0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:33.919
<v S1>primarily this is an oversimplification, but I think anthropic is

0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:37.160
<v S1>primarily going after the enterprise and trying to be all

0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:42.240
<v S1>the internal workflows, all the unified entity context, kind of

0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:46.480
<v S1>almost like a Palantir type situation of understanding the business

0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:50.920
<v S1>and helping the business actually perform operationally. I feel like

0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:55.280
<v S1>that is the massive force of what they're pushing into. Obviously,

0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:57.840
<v S1>they care about consumer as well. So both are doing both.

0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:02.480
<v S1>But I feel like OpenAI is largely focusing on the

0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:06.520
<v S1>bigger consumer vision. So I opened ChatGPT the other day

0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:09.080
<v S1>and I noticed it said, hey, connect your Apple health.

0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:11.720
<v S1>So I feel like OpenAI is going after all the

0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:15.080
<v S1>personal stuff. And they hired Jony Ive just as another

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:18.400
<v S1>piece of sort of evidence here. They hired Jony Ive

0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:21.280
<v S1>to build a piece of hardware, which I think, and

0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:24.959
<v S1>kind of the interpretation is basically that's meant to replace

0:01:24.960 --> 0:01:27.800
<v S1>the iPhone or the phone in general, like to have

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:30.479
<v S1>an AI device where you're talking to your AI. And

0:01:30.479 --> 0:01:33.640
<v S1>Sam has been talking about this massively. Dario seems to

0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:38.199
<v S1>talk more about the future and work and the enterprise again,

0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:40.920
<v S1>with some exceptions. And Sam seems to talk more about

0:01:40.919 --> 0:01:44.540
<v S1>the future of like the personal ecosystem, having an agent

0:01:44.539 --> 0:01:48.100
<v S1>always available. And obviously, given what I talk about in

0:01:48.100 --> 0:01:50.780
<v S1>my sort of orientation, I really find that OpenAI thing

0:01:51.020 --> 0:01:54.700
<v S1>quite compelling. Obviously, I like both. I'm really interested in both,

0:01:55.180 --> 0:01:58.180
<v S1>but I feel like OpenAI is more aligned in this

0:01:58.180 --> 0:02:01.140
<v S1>particular case with the way I've seen AI going, which

0:02:01.140 --> 0:02:03.419
<v S1>is you have the personal assistant that is who you're

0:02:03.419 --> 0:02:05.620
<v S1>talking to. The personal assistant is then doing all the

0:02:05.620 --> 0:02:10.060
<v S1>different things for you in all these different places and

0:02:10.060 --> 0:02:14.660
<v S1>basically operating on your behalf. And with the merging of

0:02:14.700 --> 0:02:18.419
<v S1>ChatGPT and Codex into a single app, and the more

0:02:18.419 --> 0:02:21.180
<v S1>and more connectors that OpenAI is bringing in, it really

0:02:21.180 --> 0:02:24.620
<v S1>does feel like they are definitely heading in this consumer

0:02:24.660 --> 0:02:27.380
<v S1>sort of orientation. And what I find interesting about this

0:02:27.380 --> 0:02:33.100
<v S1>is both are multi-trillion dollar businesses, right? Replacing the operations

0:02:33.100 --> 0:02:37.419
<v S1>layer of all these businesses is just extremely lucrative. Right?

0:02:37.460 --> 0:02:40.660
<v S1>And that's where anthropic is sort of heading, but also

0:02:40.660 --> 0:02:45.139
<v S1>just becoming the single agent, becoming her or becoming Jarvis

0:02:45.620 --> 0:02:49.500
<v S1>for all of humans, right? Is kind of the Tam

0:02:49.500 --> 0:02:53.220
<v S1>for OpenAI here in this particular lens. And that is

0:02:53.220 --> 0:02:57.579
<v S1>also multi-trillion dollar market, right? So I feel like both

0:02:57.579 --> 0:03:01.260
<v S1>are doing something extraordinary, really huge, that the other is

0:03:01.299 --> 0:03:03.980
<v S1>kind of not touching as much. And I just find

0:03:03.980 --> 0:03:07.380
<v S1>that really interesting. Curious to hear if you see it

0:03:07.380 --> 0:03:09.779
<v S1>differently or if you kind of agree with this approach.
