Slow Ventures' Creators Fund and Helion Energy's Fusion Reactors | 2084
Today’s show: Jason and Alex interview Sam Lessin from Slow Ventures to discuss the creator economy and their $60M creator fun. They also have a great interview with David Kirtley, the CEO and Co-founder of Helion Energy, about their fusion reactors and the future of energy generation. And Lon Harris hops in to discuss copyright infringement and how it will affect LLMs.
Key Points

- Sam Lessin from Slow Ventures discussed the importance of aligning investments with creators who build niche communities and have strong commercial instincts.
- A recent legal ruling against Ross Intelligence for copyright infringement in training AI models could have significant implications for the generative AI industry, particularly around the use of copyrighted content.
