Huszár Ferenc egykoron a Magic Pony nevű startup vezető kutatója volt, amely céget a Twitter 2016-ban 150 millió dollárért vásárolt meg. Ezt követően a magyar szakember az amerikai közösségimédia-vállalat AI-gurujaként tevékenykedett tovább, és a Twitter legfontosabb algoritmusain dolgozott. Egyben segített létrehozni egy speciális csoportot is, amely team azonban Elon Musk érkezését már nem élte túl.Ebben az epizódban tehát Huszár Ferenccel, a Cambridge-i Egyetem tanárával beszélgetek arról, hogyan befolyásolják döntéseinket az ajánlórendszerek és algoritmusok, valamint lesz szó demokráciáról, autokráciáról, kockázati tőkéről és unikornis cégekről, a közösségi média etikai dilemmáiról, a gyorsuló időről, az életről meg mindenről.

In this episode I speak to Matt Clifford about talent investing, how big long term projects can start small, and financial innovations. Matt is the CEO and co-founder of Entrepreneur First. Entrepreneur First, abbreviated as EF, is a fascinating system. It starts with cohorts of around fifty to a hundred ambitious, talented people who want to start companies but might not even have an idea to build around. Key Takeaways The mental model of predictable vs. unpredictable value. The idea that hypothesis testing speed predicts success even in projects where you won't see real results any time soon. The idea of money as a commodity that fuels innovations Background on EF (context for some of the podcast) EF then helps cohort members pair up into teams and get companies off the ground. Matt and Alice Bentinck started EF in 2011 and the history is kind of a crazy story: it started as a non-profit and now has raised a massive fund from LPs. One of the highlights in the story that really put EF on the map was a company named Magic Pony that sold to Twitter for an unconfirmed 150 million dollars eighteen months after starting at EF. There are links to Matt talking more about both the structure of EF and EF's history in the show notes. EF is a fascinating innovation system because it challenges many ideas that have basically become gospel in the startup world - everything from "if someone isn't willing to start a company in a garage with no income they don't have what it takes" to "only founding teams with a long working relationship can succeed." Resources Matt on Twitter (@matthewclifford) Matt's weekly newsletter EF on Wikipedia Magic Pony exit referenced in podcast Matt speaking at Startup Grind about how EF works Ideas Capital as a resource like any other Adverse selection The best CEO of a deep tech business often doesn't know the best CTO of that business Predictable value vs Unpredictable value Predictable market does not necessarily mean existing markets Basically logic-able innovations Job as founder is to lay out 18 month roadmaps Think of VC as a financial product Providing optionality to the founder Income sharing, with optionality The power of finance innovations Misalignment of incentive between VCs and entrepreneurs because VCs have a portfolio

This week the gang worries about AI destroying the world; while Twitter gets up on its Magic Pony. Apple falls out of love with the jack, OTTs tread on telcos’ turf and we finish on Icelandic screaming, Game of Thrones spoiler apps and why men can’t stop playing with their gadgets…
This week, Maddie and Abby watch the 1947/1977 Russian animated film, The Magic Pony, and are thoroughly charmed by it. The film follows young Ivan and his magic pony as they are forced to complete increasingly difficult tasks for a foolish czar.
