Reid Hoffman, the co-founder of LinkedIn recently discussed various AI topics in an interview with a virtual AI twin of himself. He shared it through a post on X. He said he deepfaked himself to see if conversing with an AI-generated version of myself can lead to self-reflection, new insights into my thought patterns, and deep truths. Why did I deepfake myself? To see if conversing with an AI-generated version of myself can lead to self-reflection, new insights into my thought patterns, and deep truths. pic.twitter.com/DWODoZ9lXL— Reid Hoffman (@reidhoffman) April 24, 2024 In the interview with his virtual twin, he posed several questions to assess it, including how to summarise a 336-page book on blitz scaling in one sentence. He also inquired about which of them would be a better video host, to which the response highlighted the virtual twin’s ability to excel in hosting content with extensive data, frequent updates, or multiple languages. Rohit Bhargava, recently shared from Hoffman’s video an intriguing discussion on humanising his LinkedIn page, marking a pinnacle in AI’s ability to personalise and humanise digital platforms. An experiment well worth delving into. Towards the conclusion of the video, Hoffman himself was questioned about the strategic shift at Inflection AI (a company he co-founded) and the ramifications of co-founder and CEO Mustafa Suleyman’s recent transition to Microsoft as the CEO of the newly established Microsoft AI division. Hoffman characterised Inflection AI as a “remarkable entity” adept in both emotional intelligence and cognitive prowess. Hoffman explained to his AI interviewer that Mustafa’s passion lies in building consumer products at scale, but the business’s development would take years. He emphasised that the true startup opportunity lies in the developer/API business. With the shift to Microsoft, Suleyman can now concentrate on consumer opportunities without immediate pressure to prove the business model. Houffman further added, “I found it somewhat intriguing, as if it opened a path towards enhancing my humanity, a means to express myself more authentically. It’s akin to the insights gained from watching a video of oneself, discovering nuances that refine our communication skills.”
