They start by talking about OpenAI's partnership with Reddit and the significance of accessing up-to-date information. They also mention the power of data and how companies like Google, Facebook, and Amazon have an advantage due to their access to vast amounts of data. The conversation then shifts to Dr. Joe Dispenza's work on meditation and the scientific backing he has received. Finally, they discuss the Luddites and the fear of job loss due to technological advancements, highlighting the emergence of new job categories in the AI industry.
