OpenAI’s ChatGPT has taken the world by storm since it was made publically available. It promises to revolutionise the way we work, in sectors from finance, to medicine, law and media.

But without a clear understanding of the full potential and consequences of this technology, are we sleepwalking into disaster?

AI expert Varun Mayya seems to think so.

Hear his thoughts, along with Nikhil, Tanmay, Umang and Aprameya’s in Episode 4 of the WTF is podcast.

  • Love how a billion dollar company owner asks questions wherever he doesn't understand. Now I understand why he is so successful. Let go of your ego and have a zeal to learn.
  • i know you will not read it. but still i am a 25 year old. watching this in a village 70 km from surat. doing cow farming. i don't found much intellectual people around me. half the things you said i did not understand. still it give lot of new prospactives to my mind. keep doing this episodes
  • MVP of this podcast: Nikhil for asking so many trivial questions And Varun for answering these question in the most easiest way possible
  • Really liked how Varun was explaining chatgpt to them. Can feel how tough it can be to teach some one about chatgpt from level 0 without any preparation. He tried his best to explain things in most simplified way possible. 🙌🙌
  • @otisdubey
    Best thing about these podcasts is that they do not have those painful advertisements..
  • @jayanths9804
    Looking forward to WTF is Stocks ! with Nikhil, Nithin and Kailash .
  • The best part about this entire conversation was How Varun has this granular knowledge of every topic related to Chat GPT and he keeps going deeper and deeper.
  • @lakshmi4879
    Im so glad this channel exists... To me, it's as if I'm hanging out at a restaurant overhearing a very interesting conversation at the next table. Improves the quality of my life... 👌
  • Kudos to nikhil for asking very basic questions...and hence helping the audience as well to learn about gpt from a learner's POV
  • @gouravhazra
    Happy to see Varun Mayya here. Have been following his journey since the OG ad "How to run a company without an MBA"
  • I am just blown away by Varun's knowledge. He already seems to have access to Neuralink beta version 😄
  • @anishjha7059
    I don't think anyone other than Varun would have been able to share this level of clarity! Thanks Nikhil for yet another eye opening session.
  • @teebone25
    Nikhil is miles ahead of other podcasters in terms of understanding what the audience are looking for. He may not be an expert in the subject itself but hes a master of getting information/knowledge out of his guests. When he stopped Varun on multiple occasions to explain and disect everything he was saying,from whats a gpt to whats chat gpt to whats a transformer etc, he essentially read our minds..we were four of us listening to it together and he literally kept asking the questions we had! Dumbing it down is so so important when it comes to subjects like these. Keep up the fantastic work Nikhil and keep asking questions even if it gets a little too much. Hope this podcast blows up! It'll be a blessing, not just for Nikhil but for us lot as well!
  • when Nikhil asked "what is HTML? varun be like "arey yaar, ye bhi samjana pdega"!!
  • 1:06:08 the moment, nikhil said, let's build a new company and we'll fund it together, that's when it hit me, these guys are really smart, like really really smart and have a lot of money.
  • @hungrylearner9110

  • Dude, Varun is seamlessly teaching them one of the difficult topics of computer science.
  • When varun starts to explain how gpt works, and for every word he utters he has to explaon the word that he used 😂, varun bro i totally admire your level of abstraction and understanding about ai models, this is what makes you special , i can listen to your thoughts and ideas for a whole day
