It\u2019s been a crazy few weeks in AI.<\/p>\n
Granted, it feels like it\u2019s always been a crazy few weeks in AI. But this cycle has been especially notable: Reports that Sam Altman has declared a \u201ccode red\u201d around improving ChatGPT have made waves, while Databricks is reportedly in talks to raise at a jaw-dropping $134 billion valuation. Anthropic is reportedly looking at a real-life IPO, and everyone\u2019s always watching for news from perhaps the biggest ascent of the year: Cursor, the AI coding juggernaut that\u2019s now valued at more than $29 billion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And today, Brainstorm AI starts, and so many of these key players will be with us live in San Francisco, including Databricks CEO Ali Ghodsi, OpenAI COO Brad Lightcap, Cursor CEO Michael Truell, San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie, Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian, and Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe, plus some starpower from Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Natasha Lyonne.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re attending the conference, come find me! I\u2019ll realistically be the one running around in a bright pantsuit. And if you can\u2019t make it, we\u2019ll be livestreaming the show, too \u2013 tune in here.<\/p>\n
See you soon,<\/p>\n
See you tomorrow,<\/p>\n
