My guests today are Dwight Churchill and Gaurav Misra, co-founders of Captions, which uses AI to generate and edit talking videos, and has grown to significant scale at remarkable speed. We explore a key distinction in AI tackling bounded problems like video generation versus unbounded problems like general intelligence and what this means for building sustainable businesses.
