How a 19-year-old intern built the growth engine behind this $2B AI company | Hector Serrano
dimanche 1 novembre 2026 • Durée 01:27:47
Hector Serrano runs one of the most innovative and successful paid growth programs in Silicon Valley. As Head of Content at Wispr Flow, a leading AI voice-to-text tool, he built a roster of 50 creators who drive 500 to 600 paid user-generated content (UGC) ads every month. The creators are paid a cut of ad spend, and the best of them earn over $13,000 a month. It’s a playbook the best DTC brands have used for years, now adapted for SaaS. Hector joined Wispr Flow at 19, before the product had PMF, and over the past year, Wispr Flow has grown revenue 30x and raised at a $2 billion valuation.
We discuss:
1. Why paid UGC is one of the biggest untapped growth levers right now
2. The step-by-step playbook for building a successful paid-UGC program
3. Why the best marketers are “allergic to AI”
4. What makes a great modern marketing hire

1. The PULL framework: Project, Unavoidable, List of options, Limitations

Inside the black box of AI: How AI models actually think | Emmanuel Ameisen (Anthropic)
dimanche 18 octobre 2026 • Durée 01:12:12
Emmanuel Ameisen is an interpretability researcher at Anthropic, where he looks inside LLMs like Claude to understand how they think. Before joining Anthropic, he spent years in applied ML at Stripe and Insight, and is the author of Building Machine Learning Powered Applications. His research has produced some of the most striking findings in the field: that models form general representations of concepts, plan many tokens ahead without stating those plans explicitly, and may exhibit something structurally similar to the distinction between conscious and unconscious processing in humans.
We discuss:
1. Why the “next-token predictor” framing undersells how models actually plan and think
2. Why anthropomorphizing AI can actually be the right approach
3. Why models are “grown,” not built
4. What the “J space” reveals about model self-awareness
5. The smooth scaling curve behind what look like sudden capability jumps
6. How interpretability connects to AI alignment and safety

How we built Grok Bot in a month | Roman Ugarte (SpaceXAI)
mardi 8 septembre 2026 • Durée 01:22:43
Roman Ugarte helped incubate and build Grok Bot, the popular new knowledge-work agent from SpaceXAI.

1. The origin story of Grok Bot
2. The key decision to build it from scratch instead of adding it to Cursor
3. Why the team personally onboarded nearly 300 of its first users
