Excellent interview with Joon Park, thank you, your team at a16z is setting up a very important link between human behavior and generative AI, digital/interpretive behavioral modeling and other types of large language processing designs to close the gap between the vast complexity of neurobiological processes that leads to specific behavioral expressions and codifying and encapsulating that in a generative AI system, looking forward to more of those types of episodes that also address specific behavior such as violence and anger and aggression to highlight research teams around the world working on better understanding of how to intervene and treat aggressive behavior in order to create more peaceful individual and societal behavior.

A16Z often has great tech related guests and fairly good interviewers, but sometimes the audio quality is horrible. For example, the recent Balaji episode from April 22nd is unlistenable.
Alex kahn · Apr 2026
Used to be a great podcast for insights on innovation, holistic disruptive thinking, and actual innovation. After a number of departures 2 or so years ago, everything has gone sideways. Has gone from a must listen to actively being counter productive to listen to. Such a shame. And such a waste that they’ve gone so far off the rails.
