Does Our Humanity Matter?
@Travis Hoium:
We have seen Silicon Valley’s vision of the future of social media, and there’s nothing “social” about it. Meta’s Vibes is fantastical AI-generated videos in snackable form, with the notable absence of any real people.OpenAI’s new Sora app leans into deepfakes, which currently means a lot of jokes about Sam Altman until others (for some reason) give the company the right to create videos based on their likeness.What’s missing is any semblance of humanity in these new apps.The reason this is relevant for Asymmetric Investing is that I believe decisions about how aggressively to adjust the AI dial will be crucial for many companies.Do people want a drink made by an AI robot, or is there value in being served by a human?Do you want articles written by an AI prompt or a human’s thoughts?Busine
