AI Hype vs Reality: GPT-5 wasn’t a massive leap, and that’s a good thing as it gives society more time to brace for impact, on the road to Artificial General Intelligence.

On this episode of Say Again with Amrita Tripathi, we speak to 2X Founder and Deep Tech Investor Aki Ranin, someone who has spent a lot of time deep-diving into GenAI and AGI. We need a manageable rate of change, and some guardrails going forward, Ranin shares, including his advice to folks to be cautious of what we outsource to our LLMs. Ranin is the Co-Founder and CTO, Head of AI for Healthzilla and was Co-Founder and CXO at Bambu.

A conversation that is as technologically astute as it is philosophical, spanning the topics of startup success and failure, financial planning and even the increasing relevance of the ancient Greek motto: Know Thyself, and concluding with the importance of yoga and power of gratitude, this is one chat you don’t want to miss.
