Happy New Year everyone! Join us this week and listen in on our hopes and dreams for AI as we look forward to 2024. Touching briefly on where we left off in 2023, we jump into what we’re excited about in the new year. Jump in to hear the latest. Make a new years resolution in the meantime - make a ChatGPT account if you haven’t already, and get to building!

Join us as we review 2023 in a quick episode this week, and will soon release our kickoff to 2024 where we explore the many possibilities and hopes for AI in the new year. We delve into the history of OpenAI and their numerous product releases over the past 12 months, Microsoft and Google’s involvement in the space, unpack the varied use cases and trends through the year, big and small, and much more. Stay tuned to hear the latest in AI as we kick off the new year!

Join us for episode 35, or rather 34 Part II, as we talk all things GPTs. Though the public GPT marketplace is delayed until the new year, and some small performance issues persist, we’re still incredibly excited to see how the GPT ecosystem evolves. Similarly to the tech it’s built on, we see a massive amount of unrealized potential in building, and we’re hopeful the revenue sharing with the public marketplace will spur some action. MSFT also announced the potential for GPTs to interoperate...

And we’re back this week for Episode 34! Join us as we record in the same room for the first time, and certainly not the last. Last episode ended with Sam Altman’s departure from OpenAI and Erich’s hot take that he would be back before too long... As OpenAI faced the potential reality of loosing 700+ employees, Altman is indeed back as CEO within five days of his termination. In short, there’s no good answer and much conjecture as to what precipitated these events, but join us as we ex...

Join us this week as we dive into the latest news around OpenAI and Microsoft. Sam Altman, former CEO and figurehead of OpenAI, was fired end of day Friday, November 17th. Apart from a rather cryptic statement from the OpenAI board, there’s no confirmation and much conjecture as to what precipitated this decision. Greg Brockman, previous director of the board, was demoted and quit shortly thereafter. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, with significant investments in OpenAI, called for a board meeti...

We begin this week discussing several Microsoft announcements from their annual Ignite conference, primarily around Co-Piot, the latest Bing chat. You can now access Co-Pilot (a ChatGPT+ equivalent with Bing browsing capabilities) in Bing, Chrome, and Safari browsers, and MSFT is aiming to include Co-Pilot in it’s full suite of products. Next we explore some interesting ChatGPT+ news and their indefinite pause of new Plus user signups. Not bad for the fastest growing user app in history, and ...

This week we discuss the many announcements coming out of OpenAI’s DevDay, held November 6th. We begin exploring GPT’s, customizable versions of ChatGPT that can be created around specific use cases and shared, no coding skills required. You can build and share today, but later this month OpenAI will roll out the GPT Store where builders can monetize on their creations. OpenAI hasn’t specified as to possible revenue share, but with their $100M a week in revenue, it seems promising. Next we to...

Welcome to episode 30! We kick off with some recent news from POTUS’s office. An executive order was issued 10/30, ensuring America takes advantage of AI while mitigating the associated risks. Though they attempted to source feedback prior to issuance, we’re doubtful this ink on paper play will have much purchase across the industry, particularly with the rapid growth across the industry. We briefly touch on some rather comical misuses of the tech in the legal field, and continue on to OpenAI...

Episode 29 begins with exploring how we use ChatGPT+ (a mere $20/month price tag that'll let you take advantage of all we cover and more). From Advanced Data Analysis and DALLE3 image generation to Browsing, Whisper, and the myriad of plugins, we highly encourage you consider it. (Deeper dives into the features in Episodes 27 & 28). Once again we continue to delve into what we see as the pervasive misunderstandings of the technology. If you have a desired output, ChatGPT+ is there to hel...

This week we dive deep into even more ChatGPT announcements, starting with GPT 4V (Vision). We agree AI is already awesome, but imagine uploading a photo of a spreadsheet, of under the hood of your car, or of the sad plant in your living room, and getting to the bottom of it all with AI? The use cases are unfolding almost as rapidly as the tech, and our hats are off to the OpenAI team, what they’re shipping, and how fast they’re doing it all. We then explore some interesting news around a po...

This week we begin with numerous ChatGPT product announcements, followed by several interesting AI integrations spanning industries. We explore voice activated natural language AI interaction with Whisper, and cover the re-release of browsing with Bing; where you can ask for up to date content and references related to your query. Next we discuss the new DALL-E 3 and ChatGPT+ integration, a text-to-image system with some interesting improvements and fascinating implications. Fol...

Kicking this episode off with a fresh take, we let ChatGPT choose the agenda thanks to a Prompt Pefect-ed query. We begin with a rapidly evolving topic - the ethical implications of AI. Starting with decision making algorithms, we venture into the ethics around leveraging ChatGPT for your work, concerns around ChatGPT taking jobs, student usage or lack there of, and a continued misunderstanding of the technology. Transitioning to exploring the future of AI, we expand upon farther reaching app...

And we’re back with Episode 25! We start this week discussing a joint study by Stack Overflow and Purdue University. It analyzed ChatGPT's responses to coding queries as seen on Stack Overflow, and concluded that while ChatGPT excels with general questions, it struggles with producing code. We jump in with our firsthand experiences and insights producing large amounts of clean code with ChatGPT. Next, we explore ChatGPT4's new content moderation endpoint tool, which leverages OpenAI's technol...

This week we start with the FTC investigation into Open AI. We wonder how often people are actually filing complaints related to its hallucinations, and how many people understand the nuance between a search engine and a reasoning engine. We also chatted about custom instructions for ChatGPT+ users, a great tool for people who want to have a consistent chat-context and response-tone from the chatbot. There’s a lot of opportunity right now for entrepreneurs building with AI, especially because...

In Episode 23 we start with ChatGPT’s Code Interpreter, an awesome new tool in beta for Plus users. Erich’s been using it as a data analyst and loving it. Next we discussed using reasoning engines, specifically ChatGPT, to do jobs you might not have been previously proficient in. This includes customer service, business analyst, and data analyst. We also highlighted a couple new AI products, including Superhuman AI (https://www.producthunt.com/products/superhuman#superhuman-ai) and Ca...

In this week's episode we discuss updates in the XRP lawsuit, hackathons, DeepLearning.ai resources, and more. Here's DeepLearning's learning portal we discussed, https://learn.deeplearning.ai/.

With a roster of three expert speakers per session and an interactive Q&A roundtable, it's poised to be a hub of k...

In Episode 19 of the Blue Hour Podcast, we delve into some of the hottest topics in the tech world. First up, we analyze the latest product on the market, Apple's Vision Pro Goggles, priced at $3,500. These futuristic goggles are anticipated to revolutionize how we focus on tasks, but could they be veering into dystopian territory? Next, we shift gears to LlamaIndex, a startup that recently raised $8.5M in Seed funding. We unpack why this is an impressive feat and delve into why open-...

Discover the intersection of productivity and AI in the 18th episode of the Blue Hour Podcast. We delve into our ideas for workflows between Notion and ChatGPT, demonstrating how this could optimize sales and BD team’s day-to-day tasks. Exploring the functionality of Bing browsing built-in to ChatGPT Plus, we showcase how it can enhance your research capabilities without leaving the conversation. In a world where information is as shareable as a click, we also discuss the innovative feature o...
