    Whitebeard Wisdom: Navigating Artificial Intelligence's Next Wave | Jonathan Mast

    In a world where technology evolves at a breakneck pace, few have managed to ride the wave as adeptly as Jonathan Mast, CEO of Whitebeard Strategies. In a recent episode of the Absolutely Incredible Podcast, hosted by Bruce Burke, Mast shared his journey from digital marketing to becoming a beacon in the AI landscape. This blog post unravels the insights and stories from their engaging conversation. A Beard with a Story Jonathan Mast's journey is as unique as his signature white beard, which he began growing eight years ago. It’s a symbol of his transition from a traditional sales and marketing background to the cutting-edge world of AI. Mast humorously recounts how his granddaughter and wife have given their seal of approval to his beard, setting the stage for his venture into AI. The AI Awakening Mast's foray into AI began with the release of ChatGPT's graphical user interface in late 2022. As a non-programmer, he was astounded by the capabilities AI offered, describing it as an amplifier of skill and experience. However, not everyone shared his enthusiasm. His team at the digital marketing agency expressed concerns about AI's potential to replace jobs, a sentiment Mast understood but chose to view as an opportunity for growth and innovation. A Visionary Shift After 15 years in the digital agency space, Mast felt the pull to explore new horizons. He reminisces about a missed opportunity in the 80s when bottled water was a novel idea. Determined not to let AI slip through his fingers, he embraced the change, inspired by Alex Hermosy's philosophy of adding value to build an audience. Mast's approach was simple: give away information and charge for implementation, a strategy that has grown his community to over half a million people. Whitebeard Strategies: A New Chapter Whitebeard Strategies now focuses on three core areas: AI coaching, masterminds, and creating custom GPTs. Mast's passion for AI coaching is evident as he shares his excitement about teaching classes on free internet tools. His masterminds offer a more intimate setting for mentoring, while his custom GPTs provide businesses with tailored AI solutions. Mast's vision is clear: help businesses leverage AI to save time, increase profits, and add value to their audiences. The GPT-5 Experience The conversation shifts to the recent release of GPT-5, which Mast describes as underwhelming yet promising. Despite initial hiccups, he acknowledges the model's improvements in nuance and depth. Mast's team has tested over 100 custom GPTs, finding them to be more refined and capable of asking clarifying questions. He emphasizes the importance of frameworks in building robust AI models, likening it to constructing a building with a strong foundation. The Future of AI and Society Mast and Burke delve into the broader implications of AI, discussing its potential to revolutionize industries from healthcare to investment. Mast shares a compelling story about AI's role in diabetes research, highlighting its ability to analyze vast amounts of data and potentially find a cure. He envisions a future where AI advancements lead to improved infrastructure and power availability, drawing parallels to the evolution of internet access. A Call to Embrace Change As the interview draws to a close, Mast reflects on the importance of embracing AI responsibly. He acknowledges the challenges and fears associated with new technologies but remains optimistic about the opportunities they present. Mast encourages listeners to stay informed and engaged, emphasizing the value of a strong personal brand in navigating the digital age.

    Meta Hires Key OpenAI Researcher Trapit Bansal To Work On AI Reasoning Models

    Meta has hired a highly influential OpenAI researcher, Trapit Bansal, to work on its AI reasoning models under the company’s new AI superintelligence unit, a person familiar with the matter tells TechCrunch. OpenAI spokesperson Kayla Wood confirmed to TechCrunch that Bansal had departed OpenAI. Bansal’s LinkedIn page says that he left OpenAI in June. Bansal has worked at OpenAI since 2022 and was a key player in kickstarting the company’s work on reinforcement learning alongside co-founder Ilya Sutskever. He is listed as a foundational contributor on OpenAI’s first AI reasoning model, o1. Bansal could offer a significant lift to Meta’s AI superintelligence lab, which also features leaders such as former Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang and is looking to add former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman and Safe Superintelligence co-founder Daniel Gross. Bansal could help Meta develop a frontier AI reasoning model that’s competitive with industry-leading technology, such as OpenAI’s o3 or DeepSeek’s R1. Currently, Meta does not offer an AI reasoning model publicly. In recent months, Mark Zuckerberg has been on a hiring spree to build out Meta’s new AI team, offering $100 million compensation packages to top researchers who join his company. It’s unclear what Bansal was offered to join in this deal. Nevertheless, it seems that Zuckerberg has been successful at nabbing top AI research talent. Three other former OpenAI researchers — Lucas Beyer, Alexander Kolesnikov, and Xiaohua Zhai — have also joined Meta’s AI superintelligence team in recent weeks, The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday. Bansal will join them, alongside former Google DeepMind researcher Jack Rae and former machine learning leader at the startup Sesame, Johan Schalkwyk, according to Bloomberg.
