What’s up guys, this is Jesse, and I wanted to do this video because I feel like I’ve seen a ghost. We’ve been testing Strawberry at my company, Jewelers Advantage, and I’ll keep this video kind of loose because I don’t know what to say. But I’ll start with saying that I feel as though I understand why Ilia at OpenAI was concerned about this model. I’m not a doom and gloom guy; I’m excited about what’s happening with AI and what’s happening with this model, Strawberry. But I feel like I’ve seen a ghost, and I understand the kind of alleged perspective of Ilia that you hear anecdotally—not because of the outputs themselves, but because of the cause and effect of what I’m seeing on the screen. I’m seeing Fortune 500-level CEO reasoning come out of this, and if that’s possible, then of course I’m excited about what that’s going to mean for the industry that I work in with e-commerce, fine jewelry, gold, and diamonds, and so on. But this is going to have such a massive impact on every industry. I think it’s the cause and effect of that which was a cause for so much concern. Again, I’m trying to keep it loose, and I want to say I’m excited; I’m hopeful. I’m not a doom and gloom guy—I’m very, very positive about the future. But there are moments in your life and in your career where there’s a clear turning of the page, and things are never going to be the same again. I feel that momentous, kind of paradigm shift, seismic shift kind of moment and feeling.
This isn’t an ad for my company. My company, Jewelers Advantage, does build on large language models and other AI technology. That’s all cool, and of course, I’m excited about that for obvious reasons, but I’m just so surprised at the depth of what I just saw—the level of reasoning and sophistication. What is really capturing my imagination is how much this is going to affect so-called white-collar work at this juncture, at this moment. I’m certain—certain—that there is nobody that won’t be disrupted by AI, right on up to the most sophisticated knowledge work that you could have, because these are only going to get better and more autonomous. So I don’t know how much else to say beyond that. I think the world is obviously going to change. I think that anyone who is reporting back that they aren’t impressed with the Strawberry model might need to go back to the drawing board and relearn how to use this technology, because if you have the eyes to see and you’re thinking in terms of the cause and effect of what this can mean and do, this is going to change absolutely every industry. That’s all I’ve got on it for right now. I can’t describe how I feel after what I’ve seen and thinking about the cause and effect of what Strawberry is going to mean for the world.
