Topics
Kara Swisher:OpenAI的财务状况令人担忧,虽然营收可观,但巨额亏损可能给投资者带来风险。加州州长否决AI监管法案,该法案在科技行业内部存在分歧,她认为AI监管应该由联邦政府主导,加州的法案过于宽泛。 Scott Galloway:OpenAI的巨额亏损在快速发展的科技公司中并不罕见,其未来发展潜力巨大。纽森否决AI法案是明智之举,因为该法案实际上是针对OpenAI的,且监管应该在全球范围内进行,而不是仅针对特定公司。 Scott Galloway: OpenAI的亏损是其快速发展过程中不可避免的现象,类似于亚马逊和Netflix早期的发展模式。他认为,加州州长否决AI法案是明智的,因为该法案过于宽泛,并且可能损害加州的科技产业竞争力。他主张AI监管应该在全球范围内进行,而不是仅限于加州。

Deep Dive

Chapters
Senator J.D. Vance and Governor Tim Walz are set to face off in the first and only vice presidential debate. Historically, these debates don't have a huge impact, but the candidates' contrasting personalities and policy stances could make this one an exception. While Vance might be a skilled debater, his unpopularity could be a major hurdle.
  • Vance has historically low approval ratings.
  • Harris's actions are perceived as more consequential than Vance's.
  • Trump's attacks on Harris's mental capacity are widely condemned as heinous and sexist.

Shownotes Transcript

Kara and Scott discuss California governor Gavin Newsom's veto of the AI bill that divided Big Tech, and Trump Media co-founders dumping $100 million worth of stock. Then, JD Vance and Tim Walz face off, Donald Trump's latest comments hit new lows, and is Kamala Harris leaning into crypto? Plus, a peek at OpenAI's financials reveals massive gains, but bigger losses. Will that be a problem for investors? Our Friend of Pivot is Mike Maples Jr., co-founder of the VC firm, Floodgate, and author of the new book, "Pattern Breakers: Why Some Start-Ups Change the Future." Mike talks about what makes for a successful start-up, and shares the story behind one of his biggest misses.
