In this episode, our host Patrick sits down with Stephen Kemmerling from Orca to talk about our road to artificial general intelligence (AGI). They dive deep into the future development of AI as well as the technological requirements needed to stay on top of it, how according to Stephen, science is a largely underestimated field of AI and why AI focused companies might soon solve the looming bottleneck of electricity. Stephen shares his vision of implicit AIs that will be able to foresee what people want before they do themselves and explains that at the moment we can’t even imagine the extent to which AI will develop in the future. Moreover, they talk about Stephen’s prediction that large big data companies are soon to acquire startups building chips for AI, why if there was one person to follow regarding the development of AGI it would be Andrej Kaparthy, and what the future of AI has to do with napkins at Michelin star restaurants. Tune in to find out more!

In this first episode of the year, Daniel Krauss from mobility tech unicorn FLIX shares his top three tips for technical founders looking for the right tech stack: Start with the actual problem & requirements you want to solve, find out what you are good at to double down on, and do not overthink it, because when you are building a product, you will find out what works through your customers and speed really does matter.

Daniel also explains why he would always start again with a monolith, why he doesn't like microservices, how he thinks about hiring the right people, which role freedom plays in a cutting-edge tech mobility firm, and everything else he learned from 14 years of building FLIX.
