About this episode

Ever wondered who's actually teaching ChatGPT and Claude how to think?


Meet Caspar Eliot from Invisible Technologies - the company behind 80% of the world's top AI model training. In this eye-opening conversation, we uncover the massive human workforce behind "artificial" intelligence, why your League of Legends skills might land you an AI job, and the shocking mistakes enterprises make when deploying AI.


We discuss:

• How AI models really learn (hint: it's not just scraping the internet)

• Why data quality beats data quantity every time

• The Charlotte Hornets' revolutionary AI scouting system

• Whether robots will actually take your job (spoiler: probably not)

• The $14.8 billion Scale AI valuation and what it means

• Why Mark Andreessen thinks VCs won't be automated


Plus: Caspar reveals the #1 mistake companies make with AI deployment and why "AI-ifying" your current process is doomed to fail.
