Generative AI 101

Host Emily Laird cracks open ChatGPT Health like a lab sample and pokes at what’s really inside. Forget the press releases. This episode is all about the weird, wonderful, and slightly terrifying idea of using generative AI as a health sidekick. From decoding lab results to whispering sweet nonsense during your 3 AM health spiral, ChatGPT might just be the smartest hypochondriac you’ve ever met. But can it stay helpful without turning harmful? Emily digs into the data links, the privacy gaps, and why the FDA is side-eyeing every answer it gives.

Host Emily Laird lifts the hood on the unsung hero of high-speed AI: Jonathan Ross, the chip whisperer behind Google’s TPU and Groq’s blazing-fast LPU. No TED Talks, no ego—just raw silicon, military-grade precision, and zero patience for lag. From paper citations to billion-dollar deals with Nvidia, this episode tracks how one quiet engineer redefined inference and made “fast” the new frontier. Come for the acronyms, stay for the hardware drama.

09/29/2025: Nvidia & Groq Will Build Their Own Chips

Host Emily Laird unpacks the Groq saga, the startup that built lightning-fast AI chips, dared to challenge Nvidia, then got scooped into its gravity. We’re talking chip wars, billion-dollar brain drains, and the not-so-sexy truth about what makes AI feel instant (spoiler: it’s infrastructure). From OpenBench to Saudi deals, from wild ambition to quiet acquisition, this is the Silicon Valley story where speed met control... and got licensed for $20 billion.
