Someone Made a Chat GPT JRE Podcast w/Joe + The Don

In Case you Missed it this week:

🚀 Ep 31 of Season 2: Collette Doyle AirBNB of Shelf Space

In This Weekly Wrap:

  • YC Cuts Growth Investing

  • Joe Rogan AI Podcast 😄 

  • Techstars Boulder DemoDay Companies To Watch

Austerity Everywhere! Even at Y Combinator.

Gary Tan the President of Y Combinator the famed startup accelerator juggernaut announced they were just that. An Accelerator, not a Growth fund (the stage after a company has product market fit) as they chopped 17 people (call me) and cut their Growth Investment Fund

“YC is rightly known for early stage investing. In recent years, we have also done some late stage investing. But late stage investing turned out to be so different from early stage that we found it to be a distraction from our core mission.”

ChatGPT powered version of the Joe Rogan Podcast

I will start by saying holy FACKERY. Thank you. So we saw this week 2 episodes of a ChatGPT + some other trickery version of the JRE Podcast. It sounds pretty dang real. “Donald Trump AI” was even a guest.

I guess this is the AI gen Rogan Podcast Logo

Joe Rogan Himself Retweeted and Commented on the implications of this.

The first guests on Rogan AI Pod:
