Most companies are using AI to cut costs. Ethan Mollick argues that the biggest mistake companies make is thinking too small. In the first episode of Strange Loop, Wharton professor and leading AI researcher Ethan Mollick joins Sana founder and CEO Joel Hellermark for a candid and wide-ranging conversation about the rapidly changing world of AI at work. They explore how AI is not just an efficiency tool but a turning point—one that forces a choice between incremental optimization and transformational scale. The discussion covers the roots of machine intelligence, the relevance of AGI, and what it takes to build organizations designed from the ground up for an AI-native future. What’s in this episode: - Why most companies are underestimating what AI makes possible - The tension between using AI for efficiency vs. scaling ambition - How traditional org charts, built for a human-only workforce, are breaking - The collapse of apprenticeship and its long-term implications - How prompting is becoming a foundational business skill - Why “cheating” with AI may be the new form of learning - The risks of using AI to optimize the past instead of inventing the future - What it means to build truly AI-native teams and organizations Strange Loop is a podcast about how artificial intelligence is reshaping the systems we live and work in. Each episode features deep, unscripted conversations with thinkers and builders reimagining intelligence, leadership, and the architectures of progress. The goal is not just to follow AI’s trajectory, but to question the assumptions guiding it.

In this video, I look at the new Chatterbox TTS from Resemble.AI and how it's improving open-source text-to-speech with its impressive voice cloning and emotion control capabilities. We explore its features, including zero-shot voice cloning that requires only a few seconds of audio, and its unique ability to adjust the emotional intensity of speech.

5 years ago, nobody would have guessed that scaling up LLMs would as successful as they are. This belief, in part, was due to the fact that all known statistical learning theory predicted that massively oversized models should overfit, and hence perform worse than smaller models. Yet the undeniable fact is that modern LLMs do possess models of the world that allow them to generalize beyond their training data. Why do larger models generalize better than smaller models? Why does training a model to predict internet text cause it to develop world models? Come deep dive into the inner working of neural network training to understand why scaling LLMs works so damn well. Want to see more videos like this in the future?

Agentic Document Extraction just got faster! We've improved the median document processing from 135 seconds to 8 seconds! Agentic Document Extraction sees documents visually and uses an iterative workflow to accurately extract text, figures, form fields, charts, and more to create an LLM-ready output. You can use our SDK to parse complex documents and get the extracted content in Markdown and JSON. You can then feed the output to an LLM, RAG application, or other downstream apps. You can also use our Playground to test out Agentic Document Extraction. Try out Agentic Document Extraction: - Playground: https://va.landing.ai/demo/doc-extraction - Library: https://github.com/landing-ai/agentic-doc Learn more: https://landing.ai/agentic-document-extraction

If the CEO of a soda company declared that soda-making technology is getting so good it’s going to ruin the global economy, you’d be forgiven for thinking that person is either lying or fully detached from reality.
