You can generate podcasts on any topic with Sora. Just start your prompt with 'A four way split screen podcast' and then describe the discussion you want. You can also direct them, get them to argue in any direction, or add in your own lines.

On one hand: don't anthropomorphize AI. On the other: LLMs exhibit signs of gambling addiction. The more autonomy they were given, the more risks the LLMs took. They exhibit gambler's fallacy, loss-chasing, illusion of control... A cautionary note for using LLMs for investing.

It’s great to see more American open source AI models. A meaningful segment of the global market will prefer the cost, customizability, and control that open source offers. We want the U.S. to win this category too.
