Even More of our thoughts on AI... updated for a post-DeepSeek world!
Two days after recording our podcast episode about AI, DeepSeek R1 was released, prompting some of you to ask us NEW questions about how AI will affect the future of work, products, startups, and investing. Jake Knapp is off this week, but we invited our cofounder and partner Eli Blee-Goldman back to answer these questions and — for at least a brief moment — get us caught up on the latest developments in the world of AI. This week on episode 16 of Jake & JZ, we talked about: • Why DeepSeek R1 caused such a stir • How AI innovation can come from anywhere • Our 3 newest investments at Character Capital • Types of AI founders (with examples!) • Two important lessons from a Character founder • Doing it right vs getting it right • The downside of being able to build so quickly • Our recent Foundation Sprint Bootcamp • How we get better at sprints by learning from the community
