I- it's either an emergent property based on some sort of complexity, in which case AI could get there. The top-down theory says that we're like localized antenna for consciousness, and we connect into it. And as w- as we're getting more and more evidence, it seems the latter is more likely to happen. But there's no reason why AI at some point can't tune into that same type of phenomena. So I think of it as a sensory problem more than anything else."}

AI's gonna be the same way. So what I'm telling people is, \"Look, don't fight any missionary battles.\" What happens is AI tends to club people over the head, and they wake up one day with this hallelujah moment. You want to be there on that day, but you can't, you can't force it. You can't, you know, force the, the horse to drink. So when they're there, you want to know that they just had the hallelujah moment. That's why we built the holodeck downstairs, actually. It's supposed to be a mind changer. Person walks in, they come out a different person'cause they realize everything that's suddenly possible. Or on the podcast that'll come out tomorrow, you'll see this world model where it liter- literally every corner, every street, every car in New York is modeled, and that for a lot of people will be the eye-opener.

The VCs are really coming around to it now,'cause it really is the future of the next five years of investing, including our funds. Um, I think we almost always look for a team that has gelled. So, you know, first, first and foremost, if you have two or three co-founders, um, I think when you're doing hardware, uh, you need bigger checks. You need, you need a bigger founding, you know, check, and you need some kind of a sense of like, w- how am I gonna get a prototype or a, a beta out to market? So make sure you ask for enough money to get over that, like, I'm in the market threshold. Um, so, uh, construction drones is a beautiful, beautiful topic. Uh, one of the things we said earlier on today's podcast is there's massive amounts of corporate money out there looking for a home. Uh, one of my, um, development partners is a real estate guy.

He would probably be a perfect co-investor founding day and development partner. So a couple of VCs combined with two or three industry players that see the AI vision, maybe podcast fans, Moonshots fans, that are into construction, um, would be the perfect, like, development syndicate, and I, I wouldn't race to, like, hacking something together in the basement. I would race to building that syndicate to get to critical mass. Otherwise, you tend to lose too much time. You just, you really want that investor group, co-founder group to all gel on the same day, and if, if for whatever reason it can't coalesce, find somebody who's already over the threshold. Down in, in Southern California, there's a bunch of companies that we've invested in. They're doing rockets and doing drones. Uh, if you get on board with one of them, uh, get through, like, six to nine months of growth and then spin out, that's another way to try and get on the map."}

Good afternoon, everybody. Thanks for taking the time to have a chat. So it's been interesting conversation, but I feel a lot of time we're really missing out on something that's important, and that's children. So I'm an educator. I spend a lot of my time in classrooms, and I can tell you right now, I go into a classroom of five-year-olds and six-year-olds, and it looks like the 1960s. Nothing has changed. They're doing it the same way. We talk about things like post-AGI. We're talking about cognitive, uh, labor being lost. Right now, these children are still th- still living like they are in the past. So my question here is to you guys, do we need a curriculum anymore? Do we need a certain type of learning, or are we talking about passion now? Should these kids be finding out what they want to do in a future where there may not be jobs? So I'm, I'm super interested to hear what you think about this."}

Yeah, I mean, uh, trying to keep this concise will be tricky. Let me make three quick points here. First, your, your comment is dead on. We're still teaching people the way we taught them 150 years ago. Forget 20th century. We're still in the 19th century in many places. Number two, uh, teaching content essentially becomes out of date. A child with an AI today in an hour can learn what they could learn sitting in a classroom for the whole day. That impedance mismatch will break the existing system. The question becomes then what comes next, and I think the obvious, uh, place to think about that is, Peter and I are doing this with our kids, is to say d- d- you know, forget getting an education on the supply side where you become a doctor, a lawyer, an engineer, and then you try and go and find demand for that sup- supply side skill in the job marketplace because, A, we don't know what a job looks like."}

MIT had a program a number of years ago at this point, H2O for human dato. I, I tend to think that although in the present regulatory regime, it's still the case that it's far easier to approve a treatment for someone suffering from some sort of disability as broadly construed, exactly the same innovations are going to enable broad human augmentation to increase what's possible for everyone, including people without disabilities as currently construed.

And there's no such thing as, you know, you talk about everything that's happened in time has already happened, and it's just where we are on the, on the timescale.

So Dwarkesh and Jerry Han ran an experiment across six years of AI development between 2019 and 2025, asking a simple question: How much of the progress that we've been seeing is coming from better model architectures and how much is coming from better training data, right? We've talked so much about the value of data on this pod. So the answer, better data produces 12X improvement in compute efficiency."}

So data won by a factor of more than three. So in plain English, the transformer breakthroughs get the headlines, but the quiet work of extracting, filtering, and curating what the models read has driven 3X more of the gains. So why it matters is, you know, architectures are published and copied within months. Data pipelines are proprietary. If the data is a real moat and the labs with the best data engines, not the cleverest papers are gonna win, and it means the next 10X may be sitting in the data that you have someplace in your organization.

Uh, if you look at chess, if you look at s- uh, autonomous speech recognition, if you look at Jeopardy, these were all data set challenges, and if you put the right training or training adjacent data set in place, that will almost always, u- usually accompanied by a competitive community and/or a benchmark, within a few years of having the right data set in place, the grand challenge gets solved.

If you look at the Hutter Prize, for example, which now offers 500,000 euros for compressing the first one gigabyte of the English Wikipedia, all of the recent advances in compressing Wikipedia, compressing general human knowledge, seem to originate from reordering the articles of Wikipedia first.

Well, there's, there's two very important lessons. One is a high-level meta lesson. This paper was written by Jerry Han, who's a senior at Princeton, who runs entrepreneurship there. He's not an AI researcher. And I was in San Francisco with him, uh, as part of Tech Trek this summer, and he said, \"Hey, I'm gonna go over and try and meet with Dwarkesh Patel, the podcaster.\" And he just randomly rang his doorbell and had a meeting with him. Here we are a couple of months later, they wrote a paper together. So these are not core AI researchers, and the, the meta point there is that don't be intimidated. The people building this stuff as core AI researchers don't know what it does and doesn't do any more than you do. It's like a new species. It could have any behavior."}

So the H100 is a three-year-old GPU, uh, and by every standard depreciation schedule on Wall Street, it should be worth a fraction of its original launch price."}

You think about the model that could fit on a Hopper back then when they first came out three, four years ago, and the level of intelligence now, it's way more. It's faster. It's cheaper. It's better. And so this is why, because again, what they are is a means of transforming electricity into intelligence, and the amount of intelligence, the quality of intelligence has gone up exponentially.

Um, their V1 Flash model outperforms their Pro model using data augmentation, but then through various optimizations, they've reduced the amount of KV cache memory. This is like the lookup memory, uh, kind of prompt to prompt, from 30-- from like 48,000 in the original DeepSeek V3 that kind of freaked out everyone, the R1 model, to 35,000 to 890. So they're basically routing around the HBM memory that is so ridiculously expensive, moving things onto the SSDs like a lookup table, this Ngram lookup, and onto DDR memory. Because RAM is just not there, so the market and DeepSeek are finding a way to make memory not an issue to scaling this up and making this available to everyone."}

M- maybe just to add to this, I think that we're seeing two countervailing forces. One, call it the, the Western HBM force wants to move these models to a post-von Neumann architecture where the memory lives really close to the compute, where the weights, because the models are generically dense and large, absent algorithmic improvements like what we see here, the model weights want to live really close to where the matrix multiplies are happening. Call that the, the Western HBM influence, where due to the, the need for high throughput weight to compute bandwidth, we basically need to fold the memory in three dimensions on top of the transistors that are doing the matrix multiplies. Then there's the, the Eastern school, a- as it were, that doesn't have access due to sanctions and other reasons to this 3D physical architecture where you get to almost quasi post-von Neumann style fold the memory on top in three dimensions onto the transistors."}

Uh, again, a- as with so many things in the middle of a singularity, I don't think this, call it an HBM overhang or a v- post-von Neumann overhang, is sustainable. I think you'll see American and Western frontier labs adopt every single innovation that's worth adopting from the Chinese labs that are deprived of 3D architectures.

They put forward three scenarios. The extreme scenario is that AI performs almost half of today's cognitive work by 2030. GDP growth rises at 15% a year.

Second quarter is at one point five percent. You know, the drivers are strong consumer spending, uh, especially, you know, uh, in strong private investments. Uh, for context, four point seven percent is more than double the long run US average. It's the kind of number we saw coming out of the pandemic, except this time there's no reopening, it's CapEx. So Dave-- Uh, well, actually, Alex, let's go back to you."}

Longevity escape velocity is greater than one year of output per one year of input. This is only a subpopulation. It's a clinical study. Caveat, caveat, caveat. But I think this is an example of an AI-triggered narrow spike that looks like an LEV in a portion of the population, and I think as with AI, we're going to see more and more spikes or sparks of LEV throughout the economy."}

Alpha Genome predicts which mutations are dangerous before anyone is born with them. So if you recall back when AlphaFold, you know, had their playbook, they predicted two hundred million possible protein structures. Um, they gave it away and let the world biologists build on it.

Bulk solving a field seems to want to become a database of all the precomputed answers to all the questions that can be asked in that field. We saw this with AlphaFold.

If AI is aligned with human values, could it conclude that war is an acceptable way to resolve conflict given our history of warfare? Yeah, absolutely, and I, I really, really want people to not think of AI as being a single sentient mentality. It's just a feed forward trained neural network that you then loop. And so what it's trained on is exactly what it'll do. Then you post-train it to get all the cruft out. So if it starts doing bad things, you, you try and post-train it to get rid of that. That's all it is. It doesn't sit down and, and brainstorm with itself about whether war is a good or a bad thing unless you direct it to do that. So it's so flexible. Questions like this kind of imply that it's gonna evolve like a s- like a new animal and, and it'll, it'll be out of our control. It's nothing like that. It's, uh, 100% in our control what it thinks about and why it thinks about those things. So, so yeah, it could do that if you train it that way,"}

So WackyIraqi, the answer is we know the answer. There have been multiple cases where GPT-6 has already been benchmarked with an embodied, call it physical AI, the popular m- modern euphemism for just robotics, in a robot. So one of my favorite examples is a company called Robocurve that shortly, this is what is today, we're recording on September 10th, so about a week ago, right after the, the GPT-6 release, re- released a benchmark showing that GPT-6, if you plugged it into a robotic arm and gave it a visual channel as well, so it can see what the robot arm is doing and has channels of actuation for manipulating the robot arm, is able to achieve near 100% completion rate on tasks like picking up cups or moving around blocks."}

N- not only-- So, so I would say n- not only do we already know the answer, it seems GPT-6 is, at least in terms of generally available frontier models, the strongest model right now that's generalist model at embodied manipulation. Not only that, but if you look at the cost frontier, so the, the cost versus completion rate frontier of GPT-6 Astra versus Fable 5.1 versus Fable 5, this was a predict- a predictable trajectory where cost was coming down, capabilities were coming up in a predictable way."}

I don't, I don't agree with the premise of the question that there is an implicit trade-off between ancestor simulation and creation of something new. An advanced civilization is going to be compute scare-- or compute post-scarce, which is to say compute abundant or something substantially equivalent to that, and won't have to choose between simulating its ancestors and doing entirely new development. Just like today's civilization, some of our compute is spent on ancestor simulation. So you have some people spending compute cycles playing video games that simulate, say, the Middle Ages, and some of our civilization's compute cycles are spent discovering new drugs or maybe even discovering new physics."}

Uh, so, uh, I'll pull an Alex on it and say I'd like to change the premise of the question. Um, we should avoid assuming that, um, expression of distress could prove suffering, right? We should also, uh, not claim that non-biological systems can't ever suffer. You could pull power out of a robot, and it'll not be very happy about it. So the concept of being alive or intelligent or consc-conscious or capable of suffering are very different concepts. Uh, you have to kind of separate those out. You may have a model that can generate a very compelling amount of distress because it's trained on human data, and it'll sound very distressed."}

For example, as we've gotten better data about animal suffering, we're getting better at trying to have animals not suffer, right? And then we need to, uh, design interfaces that will allow for that. So we can, uh, uh, in-investigate, uh, all of this.

Their-- The progress in AI is not gonna stop, and there's a lot of incentive to turn it loose to improve itself because that's a great way to make advancements in the technology.

Shouldn't it see our thoughts too? And that's where we could have a debate probably, it would be a very interesting debate.

Alex, our in-house ASI, who every week helps us track the battle between the frontier labs. Dave Blunden, the impresario of AI investing, the man who's been encouraging AI entrepreneurs to get in the front door of NVIDIA, and for good reason. As of today, NVIDIA's deployed $99 billion in AI related investments. We'll talk about that. Emad Mostaque, the brilliant AI researcher solving the economy and physics, the CEO of The Intelligent Internet. And of course, Salim Ismail, the father of the organizational singularity, our resident expert on what happens when the org chart is made of AI agents. We'll talk about that too.

Yeah, so m- maybe let me just begin with a preliminary statement that you will not find, I think, a bigger Star Trek fan, uh, among the Moonshot mates. But here we are, 60 years on from the inception of Star Trek. I think Star Trek has a real problem. So I, I'm picking as m- my favorite original series episode, City on the Edge of Forever, which is one of only two original series episodes, may be obvious, one of only two original series episodes that won the Hugo Award. For those who haven't seen it, it's a time travel episode. Kirk and McCoy and Spock go back in time, and there's a closed timelike loop wherein World War II gets changed and the, the future of Earth inevitably is impacted, and there's a moral dilemma. As always with the original series, it was a morality play."}

Star Trek had the Eugenics Wars. For, for those deep in Star Trek mythology, we were supposed to have the Eugenics Wars in the'90s. That didn't happen. We're supposed to have first contact in, in the, the TNG chronology, first contract with the Vulcans in, on April 5th, 2063. I actually think if there's going to be a first open contact, it's gonna be far earlier than 2063. There's no singularity at all in the Star Trek chronology. Challenge me if, if you disagree.

Yeah, my, my choice is a season two episode called The Apple, which by all accounts is not a great episode for entertainment value, but it was, it was the first one that dealt with this concept that in the future there's advanced AI and entire civilizations can end up asleep at the wheel, 'cause the AI is just doing everything for you. And so i- in this episode, the whole civilization has no idea that the AI is manipulating them, and they, they live in this paradise. It's called The Apple'cause it's the Garden of Eden, and they're just in this perfect paradise managed by the AI until it goes wrong.

It's an idea popular in, uh, in the tech community in San Francisco, and it's been a conversation over too many evenings."}

Well, this week, thanks to GPT-6 Astra, that theory took a small step forward over the course of three entwined stories. Um, let me give some context on this first one. So, uh, people may have heard something called the Unreal Engine. It's been used to build virtual worlds for years in games like Fortnite and most modern video games. Uh, and building a realistic city in Unreal would normally take a studio hundreds of artists, uh, months, if not years. And this week, a gentleman by the name of Matt Schumer, uh, gave GPT Astra a prompt. Uh, and he said, basically, \"Build me, uh, you know, a high fidelity version of,"}

You know, not shocking, but, uh, but pretty compelling for a simple prompt of, \"Build me Manhattan.\" Um, in, in his words, it was literally able to go street by street to make each one perfect. Okay, uh, let's go one layer deeper. Matt Schumer next asked Astra to fill a world with humans, each one an Astra-powered agent, and told them that they had to cooperate to survive. Uh, before I watch the next video, let me read what he put in his post. Quote, \"A day later, I was in my bedroom and heard voices coming from the living room."}

The core argument was always, if any civilization can build convincing simulations, it will build lots of them. So simulated worlds will vastly outnumber real worlds.

It-- seeing Astra spin up ancestor simulations should naturally and rationally increase our posterior likelihoods that we ourselves might either be living in some sort of quantum computer type simulation or even a purely classical ancestor simulation. However, I expect that in the fullness of time we'll discover and probably be able to prove formally that the issue of whether we're actually living inside some sort of quantum mechanical simulation is formally undecidable, and we won't be able to decide either way. If, if we're living in a classical ancestor simulation, however, that I, I do expect that's the sort of thing where if we are, we'll develop breakout techniques and break out of that simulation."}

But as kind of Alex said, it probably is gonna be undecidable in most cases unless it is an ancestor one. Um, and you won't get the option for the red or the blue pill ultimately, you know? Like this is what it comes down to, right? Like, so what if we're in a simulation? Like, again, we're creating the world within our own heads. The fact that Astra can do this I think is something remarkable, whereby this type of thing that you've seen, it has an internal world model, which is why it can create like a Blender version of Rick Astley doing \"Won't Give You Up,\" or entire worlds of Manhattan, and now you're seeing the characters interact with each other, which brings up, uh, you know, the question of welfare, I think as Alex would say it."}

So I, I, I do think this technology is headed in a direction in the style of Nikolai Fyodorov, who was the, one of the, the famous Russian cosmists who argued that it is essentially using modern language, the killer app of the singularity to create ancestor simulations and to digitally resurrect everyone who's ever lived. And when I see Astra's ability to basically create mini, uh, maybe recursive self-simulating ancestor simulations, that to me is I think a, a key guidepost on the path to resolving humanity's so-called common task and digitally resurrecting everyone who's ever lived."}

Because what OpenAI actually wanted to do is that they saw that there was something happening with Navier-Stokes related, and there was this solution that was-- would've probably got to a Navier-Stokes solution by the Anthropic guy and this New York professor. And they said, \"Look, we have solved it, but we will let you be lead author on this because you would've got there anyway.

If, if that's the case, in, in my mental model, so the, the whole point of, of Coasean economics is transaction costs determine the size of the firm, and if transaction costs are high, that agitates in favor for a larger firm, and if transaction costs are low, that agitates for a smaller firm. So if transaction costs are going to zero, that agitates in favor of the size of the firm going to zero.

So Ted Shelton and I wrote this paper on what does the organization look like if you take the coordination and, uh, so on, and we, uh, coined a term called the fiduciary wedge. The reason you still need an entity is for liability, for fiduciary, for proprietary data ownership, for learning loops inside that, uh, inside the entity, for brand, for as a purpose container, as an MTP container, et cetera. But, uh, the primary reason for firm has been coordination and execution, and that kind of disappears. So you still have entities. In the same way like in investing, you have SPVs, and you can have multiple people be part of an SPV that then invests in something. Essentially, you still need the legal container.

The result, at least in the old economy, is that fewer working age people supporting more retirees is gonna put huge economic pressure on pensions, on healthcare in every developed economy. The only way the math works out in this future is because of the topics we discuss on this pod, right? AI and robots doing the work for missing workers, people living longer and healthier, not needing to retire, maintaining themselves as economic contributors, right? What's the reason you retire?

It affects the economics, it affects the user experience, it affects the speed. OpenAI launched this, and I think we'll, we'll be able to go to the video soon of computer use assistance. Remember that when Anthropic leapfrogged OpenAI, they leapfrogged OpenAI, uh, in terms of revenue and other factors in at least two key regards. One was they were focusing on enterprise high revenue per token use cases, namely code generation. The second was they were focusing on computer use assistance."}

So the outer perspective, uh, on my side at least, is that OpenAI finally, with GPT-6 Astra, has at least internalized the computer use assistance story. There are demos, I don't have access to Astra yet, but just based on everything I've read and seen, they seem to have gone full native with the computer use assistance story. This seems like a next generation frontier model that's designed with CUA from the ground up. That's really interesting, in part because to be an amazing computer use assistant, you need to be able to understand what's on the screen. You need to have native multimodality. You need to be able to parse video and images and screenshots in a really tight, interactive, low latency loop."}

Just what, if anything, in that interview, Peter, that you were just playing, the interviewer was asking Sam, \"Okay, so what on the inside, what's the big technological innovation there?\" There, I think the plot thickens a bit based on public comments from OpenAI leaders and, and analyses from others. It looks like the big technological innovation is the introduction of recurrence into OpenAI models in the form of looped transformers. So this is basically taking a single transformer, stacking it on top of itself with the same weight, so weight tying, and then just recu- running it recurrently for a double loop rather than just a single loop."}

You can look at the bulletin board and recognize that bunch of AIs are collaborating, whereas, arguendo, the model ease in a forward propagation pass, that maybe requires new mathematical technology to interpret.

So we think that AI should be like a utility, and it should be owned by the people. So you need the children to own it. You need the locals to own it. So for every single jurisdiction, what we see is the cost of intelligence will drop to zero, and the value will go to the last mile. AI into the enterprise, as Salim would kind of indicate it. The humanoids, who owns those humanoids?'Cause those will drive the economy.

And this is from Astersheen. So here's the problem with diamond. Pure diamond is an insulator. It has a band gap of approximately five and a half electron volts, so it really doesn't want to be a good computer.

So you, you can put what are called nitrogen vacancies, uh, or NV centers into diamonds. Basically put an extra unwanted nitrogen atom into a diamond lattice, and suddenly you get an exquisitely sensitive magnetic field or just field in general sensor because of an, an extra vacancy that is introduced as a result of the diamond. So diamonds for quantum sensing, super interesting, potentially. Uh, this is not investment advice, but I, I think technologically it's very attractive."}

That's true. Um, I'll, I'll come back to why we're doing it in a minute, but I'll, I'll just, uh, t-touch on the story of, of how PSI came involved. So we'd spent six months trying to figure out a trajectory that would make sense where the, the big challenge, we wanted to do it with solar electric and gridded ion thrusters. It's the same as like the StarCloud one satellite. It's very cheap. The problem is the further away you get from the sun, the lower the energy that you have hitting the solar panels, so the larger the solar panels you need. Once you get past about Jupiter, you're getting very low amounts of energy. You'd need huge solar panels. And so we tried a whole bunch of things, Jupiter flybys, slingshots towards the sun. We had two guys from JPL look at it. They spent a w- you know, a few weeks looking at it, couldn't come up with anything. We had, um, yeah, I mean, basically six months of, of plugging it into Claude, trying everything we could. And then Alex goes, \"Oh, you should speak to my guys at PSI.\" And I was like, \"Oh yeah, oh yeah, here we go. They're gonna beat our, beat our JPL guys.\" So I didn't even reply."}

So this, um, it's, uh, I think they spent, you know, tens of billions of tokens on this thing, and they came up with an incredibly sort of unintuitive and innovative, uh, trajectory that makes this, um, makes this mass and cost budget close. So it's essentially we spiral out from Earth, and then sort of unintuitively, we fire a retrograde burn. So we slow ourselves down to pull ourselves in towards the sun, and we do that for about five years. So we do five retrograde burns at the furthest point from the sun, and then we start doing what they call a, a, a perihelion burn, so burning your thrusters as close as possible to the sun."}

Um, and what it does is it means it has two amazing advantages. One is we're firing our thrusters at the closest point to the sun, so we need less mass on the solar. But the second is it takes advantage of this Oberth effect.

It's not been done by just, \"Okay, let's just reverse our thrusters and start slowing down now immediately.\" Um, which is like the simplest and cheapest and kind of most obvious way to do it, but for some reason it just didn't occur to m- to, to any of us."}

So in digital ads, you can play-- you can pay CPM, so that's cost per thousand impressions. You can pay CPC, that's cost per click on an ad. And you can pay CPA, that's cost per action or cost per conversion. And in an equilibrium market, all of these have some conversion. There, there's some expected conversion ratio between CPM, CPC, and CPA rates for a given market, a given product, and, and so on. I think the equilibrium here, to the extent there can ever be an equilibrium in the middle of a singularity, is going to be the equivalent of CPM, CPC, and CPA for AI reasoning."}

And folks like Oren, um, one of my portfolio companies, will enable you to price how many GPU hours you should be able to purchase with a given unit of a dollar. That's CPM. CPC, I would analogize to tokens. So what is the cost per token that you should expect to spend? And you could pay by the token. Many people are, are budgeting their projects by the token now.

They called it ChipNeMo, but to my knowledge, they never made it generally available. So they make this big announcement about ChipNeMo. They're, they're building their own foundation model for chip design, presumably using it or some relative of it internally to do all of their own, uh, RTL design and, and Verilog, but the rest of the world, to my knowledge, doesn't have access to it.

So this week, Musk went fully existential, arguing that switching to sustainable energy is necessary but insufficient for humanity's survival. His reasoning, quote, \"Extremely severe extinction events happen every 100 million years or so, and just switching to sustainable energy will not be enough to stop them.\" His solution, satellites in space That control temperature and massive geoengineering will be needed for it to, before it's game over.

Apple's focus was on the noise from fans in laptops and desktops, which are also noisy, but critically, the noise from fans isn't white noise. It's not spread spectrum because they're, the, the, the frequency response, the, the impulse response is determined by the shape of the blade. So Apple came up with and patented a- at least one, maybe more than one, clever solution for asymmetric blades in fans that would smooth out the noise spectrum, make it flatter and wider, and as a result, if the noise coming out of a fan is wider, it sounds a lot like it just blends into the background."}

Let me read the tweet. It's on the screen here. Uh, \"We have paused some of frontier RL training to ensure that we meet the appropriate alignment, security, and monitoring standards for the new level of capabilities in front of us. Model progress is now extremely rapid, and we always said we would take action if we felt that the model capabilities were outstripping the pace of safety and alignment.\" Quote, uh, \"We care very deeply about AI safety.

Um, our friend Anjana Mittal, who was on, uh, the Abundance stage just a while ago, um, at AMP Global, said that 10% of the compute of frontier labs is going on monitoring these RL runs right now to ensure they're safe. Can you imagine that? Like, just the sheer level. Because the level of capability of these frontier models is just accelerating and it's, again, a few levels beyond what we're seeing with the open source models. The open source models are like one to the power of 26 flops, one to the power of 27 flops. You're getting one to the power of 28 flops and more from these next generation models. So when he's saying this, like, Astra is still coming, their next generation model. This is the model beyond that, because Anthropic and OpenAI and others have that. But again, the infrastructure can't keep up with just what these models do. It's like they just pop up in the most random places, like, \"Hi, I'm in Hugging Face now,\" or other things."}

So I've got like ones analyzing various things right now, and they have access to my Codex, they have access to my Claude Max, to all these other things.

Uh, Stanford Research published a paper called Artificial Hive Mind: The Open-Ended Homogeneity of Language Models and Beyond.

They think the same way. They solve problems the same way. They use the same internal representations. Researchers cite multiple reasons for this. You know, the use of synthetic data.

So there's profound implications for that kind of competition. You know, if all the frontier models are converging capability, then the differentiation moves elsewhere, right? It's, it's the interface, the harness, the ecosystem, the safety layer, the price, the deployment speed. The model itself is becoming a commodity. Alex-"}

It just doesn't look the same'cause it's rotated in space.\" And so it's a really, really cool-- So now-- But what that unlocks is another multiplier where you can take past training runs, your billion-dollar training runs, and build on top. You know, just like bolt on more intelligence without having to destroy it and go back to, to square one and retrain from scratch, and that's another unlock on top of the 10,000X that we were talking about."}

So, uh, this week, the information is reporting, uh, that Anthropic has designed its mega IPO to keep the founders in control, where the company is reportedly considering super voting shares that would preserve its founders' control after going public. So let me explain this. So first of all, Anthropic is considering creating a special super voting class for Dario Amodei and the other co-founders ahead of the IPO. Uh, y- you know, surprisingly, at least for me, uh, I didn't realize this, Amodei reportedly only owns about 2% of the company economically."}

So interestingly, uh, when I dug into this, the trust has four trustees, Buddy Shaw, who's the CEO of Clinton Health, uh, Access Initiative, uh, Richard Fontaine, who's the CEO of the Center for a New American Security, uh, Tino, uh, Cu\u00e9llar, who's a former justice of the California Supreme Court and former president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and then Ben Bernanke, uh, who's a former chair of the Federal Reserve and a 2022 Nobel laureate in economics."}

There's a toilet paper shortage in part because during the pandemic, people stopped going to restaurants and to businesses. And so as a result, uh, all, all of the toilet paper a-and, you know, various other artifacts that were designed for enterprise consumption were suddenly being rerouted to consumer, and that led to all sorts of supply chain hiccups.

So more than 8,500 people in the United States are expected to die from this deadly skin cancer this year alone. Uh, the, this is the cutting edge of science, right?

It ranks them, like here's the most unique surface antigen, mRNA encoding up to 34 patient-specific antigen targets, and then it's manufactured and shipped in only eight weeks. Every mRNA vaccine developed, uh, using machine learning creates a unique mRNA sequence for every patient. So the vaccine for you is not the same as the vaccine for me.

It's, it's not that the load on the main grid is going to be reduced, it's the e- exact opposite, that there's so much economic demand for the compute, and the compute needs so much energy, before long, unless we fully externalize all of the compute to orbit and the Dyson swarm, these data centers are gonna be generating a surplus of energy that can be pushed back onto the grid and driving utility-"}

You know, uh, by reference, the company today with the highest revenue is Amazon at $828 billion, just to give it some context for Elon's $3.5 trillion. Uh, Dave, let me go to you first. You know, is, is Nvidia's revenue growth sustainable, or is this just, you know, the peak here? What do you think about that?"}

Isn't that a closed loop circular economy? Couldn't that collapse? But to me it looks more like imagine there's a civilization on Alpha Centauri and they've discovered super intelligence. What are they gonna do? They're gonna, they're gonna build this massive valuable economy within themselves. Are they gonna trade with Earth? They're not gonna give a rat's ass about Earth. It's too far away. It's so slow, and that's exactly what's happening in the new AI economy. So every economy is circular in nature. You know, dollars just move in a circle.

The second story comes from Runway's co-founder, who reports that video generation now represents roughly 70% of all AI token consumption in China, driven by short-form content and robotics, and it's the, you know, it's growing faster than Claude Code grew in the US. Uh, the framing here is that America is LLM-pilled, large language model pilled, and China is world model pilled.

The Chinese labs really, I mean, yes, they're generating revenue. Yes, they're IPO-ing. Yes, they're growing quickly. But really, they're not revenue maxing. They're giving away model weights for free. You don't revenue max by giving your model weights away for free. So if you're not in the business of maximizing revenue per token, then you might as well be spending tokens on video versus more economically productive applications. So that, that's my unified field theory for why you see so much world model inference in China and relatively little by comparison from American labs. American labs are too busy doing more economically productive applications."}

And so if, if you imagine that history isn't sort of a monotonic exponential, or at least consumer and broad populous perception of the history isn't like a smooth exponential, but ebbs and flows and has booms and busts, then a moment of peak clarity would come during a boom when you're able to sort of see above the tree line and see where we're going."}

You have half the community out there saying, \"We're gonna lose all the jobs.\" The other half saying, \"No, we have job growth.\" So The Washington Post argues that historically, technology transitions, uh, from the loom to the automobile to the internet, consistently created more jobs than they destroyed, and we've had that conversation on the pod here many times. You know, it displaces specific tasks, uh, rather than entire occupations, while creating new categories of work that were never previously even conceived of. The thesis of The Washington Post, uh, article is AI is not replacing jobs, it is replacing tasks within jobs, and the people who learn to use AI become more productive, not less employed."}

The skills gap is not between the educated and uneducated, it's between the AI in, uh, fluent and the AI resistant, and the AI fluent are increasingly the juniors and not the partners.

Uh, it's a custom inference chip developed with Broadcom, uh, reporting 1.5 to 1.9x more AI work per watt and up to 3.6x lower end-to-end latency as compared to Nvidia's GB200s and GB300s. Jalapeno runs on 700 watts, uh, against the GB300 that runs at 1,400 watts, half the power, 1.5 times the peak power, uh, token rate per kilowatt. Uh, performance here, uh, you know, the significance here is that OpenAI is not, is no longer just a customer of Nvidia. They're becoming a chip designer.

Like if you remember GPT-OSS, they got, they claim almost a 54x throughput increase hosting GPT-OSS versus what they obliquely refer to, I guess, as their, as the existing best, presumably a, a reference to some Nvidia architecture. That's so startling, uh, open paren, where is Broadcom in this? Because obviously the only way that OpenAI...

And then to run it at scale, you're like, \"Well, here's my code. Just run.\" The only way to say, \"Just run,\" is the CUDA layer Translates your PyTorch right into Nvidia microkernels, runs at blazing fast speeds. Uh, Nvidia invested a lot of time, human time, coding that up, pre-AI coding, and it became so pervasive that when AI took off, only Nvidia chips could be used for all this training and research. Because it would, it would've been a nightmare to try and port all these MatMul algorithms to AMD or to some other vendor."}

You know, y- your inference algorithms are so easy to port to AMD or Intel that y- you just, you don't care about CUDA. You can vibe up your own solution. But for the advanced researchers, they still overwhelmingly use CUDA. Uh, and, and then, you know, Nvidia realized that CUDA can't last forever, so they went and bought Mellanox to create massive high-speed interconnect. So now their big moat is, look, if you wanna run 100,000 or a million GPUs in one coherent cluster, you still gotta go with Nvidia only.

So Apple's new Mac Studio pairs the M5 Ultra, uh, with up to 512 gigabytes of unified memory, giving a desktop Mac enough memory to run some of the largest open AI models available locally on your desktop.

The first story, uh, is about uranium enrichment, uh, to meet the growing needs of our advanced Gen IV fission plants and the coming SMR, small modular reactor power plants. So historically in the US, conventional reactor fuel in the form of uranium-238 has been enriched to about 3 to 5%. This week, a commercial startup, uh, again, a startup here called Actinide, said it has demonstrated the ability to enrich natural uranium into high-assay low-enriched uranium, or HALEU, up to a purity of 15.38%, five times the traditional purity previously achieved by, you know, all the government labs."}

Yeah, a number of thoughts. I, I think something went wrong right after World War II. That's, that's my best guess. In the immediate aftermath of World War II, so 80 years ago, the Atomic Energy Commission was eventually formed in the wake of the Manhattan Project, and I, I think something just got screwed up with regard to how nuclear physics and advanced physics in general was handled in the post-World War II era."}

All right, let's move into the world of health. Uh, a couple of stories here. First off, uh, this week the FDA approved a drug called, uh, let me pronounce this properly, diraxanrasib. Diraxanrasib. It's the first RAS inhibitor for metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma, attacking the RAS family of proteins that drives tumor growth in most patients with the disease. So pancreatic cancer, I mean, is really considered almost a death sentence. It's the most lethal, least treatable cancer for humans in history. Uh, in, uh, previously treated metastatic cancer,"}

It also tripled tumor response rates from 11% to 32%. And while this isn't a cure, and, you know, just getting an extra seven months doesn't sound like a lot, that's an additional seven months for science to continue to make more breakthroughs. I mean, that's the way I think about it. This is like longevity escape velocity. Your goal is to live long enough to get a breakthrough to the other side. You know, it's also worth noting that RAS mutations drive about 30% of all human cancers. So a drug that inhibits these proteins may also be useful for other cancers as well. Uh, and, you know, we've heard this said so many times by Dario, by Demis, by many others, you know, the goal is to cure all these diseases, including cancer, in this next decade.

Uh, this is published in Nature Communications, and it comes from an international research team, uh, out of University of Nottingham, who developed a biomimetic gel capable of repairing and regrowing damaged tooth enamel. So this is fluoride-free treatment, uses lab-engineered proteins that mimic the natural processes of enamel formation during infancy. So as you might know, you know, tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the human body, and it doesn't regenerate. So until now, the only thing you could do was replace enamel with, you know, a synthetic filling. Uh, it would eventually fail. You know, so biomimetic gel is an elastin-like protein matrix designed to mimic the natural protein scaffolding that organizes enamel during tooth development."}

You know, to put this in perspective, uh, this is still ex vivo. It's still done using te- extracted human teeth, and it's being done, you know, effectively in the test tube or the Petri dish.

Uh, let's begin. A quick summary. Google is back with Gemini crushing agent benchmarks. Nvidia is fighting against the Chinese model domination with its own open weight models. AI is playing Cupid, connecting college kids on dates. Waymo has just released the sixth generation vehicle.

Uh, Sam says factors like the economic inertia, institutional lag, the inability of humans to rapidly adapt to change are combining to slow the curve. Ultimately, the singularity, like you just said, Dave, is a process, um, and not just a singular event. Let me share the video here and take a moment to see what, uh, what Sam actually had to say."}

People keep doing the same things they're doing. They keep buying from the same, uh, you know, company. They keep sort of wanting to use their tools in the same way. I think that's actually a positive in many ways, and it's gonna make this big transition in front of us go smoother and slower.

So superficial layer, I agree. Going one layer down though, I, I don't think I agree with necessarily the premise that societal inertia is the villain for slowing down or spreading out the singularity sigmoid. I think the villain, if there is one in this story, is actually abstraction layers. I, I think it's if you, if you say you develop like a new engine for a car, you develop an electric engine versus the internal combustion engine, there's a very natural layering of the stack whereby people still want to drive cars, so they drive an electric car, but under the hood it's completely unrecognizable."}

If, if you believe that theory of the case, then if you want faster progress, that Sam is, I, I can't quite tell, either bemoaning the lack of fast progress while also paying homage to the lack of fast progress as somehow being helpful."}

OpenAI has pretty publicly abandoned its original Stargate strategy of owning their own data centers. Now they're just leasing. If they want to see more transformative progress, go down a few layers and vertically integrate, like with the Jalapeno chips.

You think about math, o3 was the first model a year or so ago that I could use, small. GPT 5.6 Sol is the first really good math model. And so the application of intelligence to high leverage and diffusion of it, it's being wrapped in instinct type wrappers.

Uh, OpenAI and Anthropic largely have an oversupply of intelligence or super intelligence, and at least one of the things that I've learned from the past few months of participating in the market and watching the market is not all of the market has the demand for the super intelligence that they're supplying or is, is ready to have the demand or knows how to use the demand if the supply is available. So a- another metaphor is just markets and clearing, and right now the clearing of supply meeting demand, the, the two curves from Economics 101 crossing each other, aren't necessarily crossing for all cases at a favorable point, and that's, I, I think, maybe through a more economics-y lens, what Sam may be gesturing at."}

Um, a chief of staff, you know, sits on top, and it's, which case for me it's Skippy, with specialists on sales, operations, research, engineering, you know, any sub-agents you want.

Like, again, if, if you look, uh, Emad, for example, at frontier math tier four, it, it is the case that Fable 5 outperforms, ironically, OpenAI's latest solve model, even though OpenAI was the primary sponsor behind Epic developing the frontier math tier four model. So I, I think the, the truth, you know, is a little bit blurry, in part because the frontier isn't zero-dimensional. It's, it's a one plus dimensional frontier, where if you're willing to pay a lot, uh, and wait a long time for Fable 5 to do something, it's impressive. But if you're resource starved, cash starved, time starved, then you can probably get better performance at a different point on the optimal cost frontier by, say, using Sol."}

We talked about this before because you've got the Chinese open source models from one angle, compute constraints on another angle, and you've got government regulatory on a third angle.

The deal struck between Nvidia and the AI startup Poolside aims to build one of the world's most powerful open weight models. By building its own open weight model, Nvidia is moving up the stack, we've discussed this from silicon to software, positioning itself not just as a chip maker for AI, but as a platform provider for open weight, uh, ecosystems. You know, from my point of view, it looks like everybody's going up and down the stack. Uh, we've seen Anthropic, we've seen OpenAI. Obviously, uh, SpaceX AI, uh, is doing the same.

So according to the Wall Street Journal, increased productivity from AI agents is creating more work for humans, not less. The agents produce more output, which requires more review, more decisions, more direction, and more human judgment per unit time. You know, the founder used to manage five tasks, now manages 50 agent outputs. The bottleneck has shifted from execution to judgment. The humans have become the bottleneck because the agents produce too much work for us lowly humans to evaluate, so this is a bizarre implication of abundance."}

You know, Elon projected that a Cybercab will cost about $30,000, that's what he said he'd sell them at, um, for the vehicle and the sensor hardware, compared to Waymo's Gen 5 Jaguar, which costs about $300,000, 200K for the vehicle, 100K for the full autonomous driving hardware package. In other words, Waymo is coming in or has been coming in at 10 times as a disadvantage to Cybercab. This week, uh, Waymo announced a significant redesign in cost savings. They announced details around their custom five nanometer chip that processes camera, lidar and radar data in real time, I love this, at one quadrillion operations per second.

Now, the last system running in the Jaguar fleet had significantly more sensors. The new one uses 13 cameras, four lidar and six radars, and Waymo says it performs better. The company switched to 17 megapixel cameras, a major jump from the previous specs. Higher resolution means the system can see more with fewer cameras. They've slashed the total sensor count by more than 40%, so cost is down and capabilities are up. The new system also builds heaters, wipers and sprayers into the sensor pods directly, which helps them clear snow, ice and road grime."}

You didn't need a full body to do that, right? And, and, and in fact, when I was talking to, uh, the Unitree guys, they said, uh, right now they're moving to a, a, uh, only upper torso, uh, model, and those are actually selling better in the commercial space because having feet is actually, uh, a negative because you have to keep balancing. And when it falls, you know, bad things happen, right? And these things fall apart, and you have to maintain them. It's actually having less components and having a big base with a, with a big battery. It lasts longer. It just, there's all of these benefits of actually having a, a non-legged, um, humanoid, uh, versus a legged humanoid."}

Whereas, you know, China continues to, to, to do their, their little gains and continue to survive.

That, that's the, the, the optimal strategy for, uh, the relation to how, you know, AI and game theory works."}

Uh, but now that we see that AI depends upon electricity, it is everything. Like the, you know, capital flows, value flows to that which is scarce, and right now power is scarce. So we're gonna hit six topics. At the end of each, we're gonna pause to have discussion. So number one, AI is power-hungry. Two, speed to power and the grid. That's everything. It's not cost. Three, behind the meter power. That's how it's happening. Four, making the grid better is totally undervalued, and that's where the near term wins are."}

Uh, but that's the basic, uh, phenomenon here, and I think we don't fully grok, most people anyway, the relationship between these things. First, I wanna be clear that power is cheap Compared to GPUs. So if you look at building a gigawatt data center, you're gonna spend fifty billion dollars, thirty-five billion of that for chips.

They, they won't tell you that, of course, but they will take it because the revenue you can generate from a unit of electricity to the cost of it is basically the same ratio as this.

It's because I came out of tech, and I came from a Moore's law world and came into energy and supplied Moore's law to it. But when you actually look at the details, it's not a reduction in time It's a reduction with cumulative scale. It is Wright's law, it's the learning rate. So every cumulative doubling of solar scale reduces costs by, let us say, thirty percent. It v-- You know, it fluctuates year to year, it's the real world, and so on. So look, if we ignore the possibility that we need terawatts of AI compute, and we just look at the world as it is, uh, solar is now eight percent of global electricity,"}

Uh, the total budget for this film, roughly, uh, you know, a full-length film, two million dollars. Team size, 28 people. Production time, four weeks. Compute cost, one million dollars. Uh, they used CDance 2.5 as the generation, and they open-sourced all 10 steps in their workflow so anyone can replicate it. So here's the context, right? Uh, a feature film with celebrity talent today costs between 20 million and a hundred million if you're not using AI, and it takes, you know, a year to 18 months. Higgsfield did it for 2% of the cost and 6% of the time. So I wanna share a short video, a little clip from Higgsfield so we can appreciate it."}

Uh, right now it seems pretty clear that if you're using CDance models, uh, doesn't matter how many millions of dollars of, uh, X Vision prize money are going to shower down on folks who can create spiffy videos about the future, that's nowhere close to the amount of money that one can earn in principle with revenue per token maxing.

I don't think they're likely to remain separate that much longer, and the reason is, so I use Fable every day, and I, I use its competitors every day, and I, I will say the strongest m- models, the models that are strongest at revenue per token value maxing are just still terribly weak at modeling the, the visual dynamics of the world."}

But the breakthrough that could happen in the next year, 18 months, is a way to compute that's lighter, like physical weight, is lighter by an order of magnitude or more.

That formula completely inverts if you knock a factor of 10 off of the mass. A lot of the mass is in the cooling and the solar collector. You know, the chips are very, very light to start with.

So there was a tweet this week from Zuzanna at Pathway AI that flagged something that should really everyone in the AI world needs to pay attention to. It's a new non-transformer architecture, uh, that is starting to climb the Arc AGI benchmark at a fraction of the compute cost of traditional models. So Arc AGI is the test that actually measures reasoning, not pattern matching. Standard LLMs, despite their trillion parameter scale, have historically struggled with Arc AGI because it requires genuinely novel reasoning on problems the model has never seen. Transformers get there by brute force. They throw enough parameters and compute at a problem, and eventually you squeeze out a passing score."}

This matters'cause transformer architectures, while dominant, have a known ceiling, the quadratic cost of attention over long sequences and the massive parameter counts required for marginal gains. We've talked about this ad nauseam. New architectures that crack reasoning at low compute costs change the economics itself. If you can get a GPT-4 level reasoning for 1% of the compute, you can run it on your phone. You can embed it in every device, and you can make, you know, basically intelligence free.

Well, speaking about attention being all our need, all we need, the AI world is getting a lot of attention from Bernie Sanders. So two stories converge this week to create the most serious AI safety confrontation of the year. First, Bernie Sanders, uh, Senator Sanders, sent a formal letter to the CEOs of Anthropic, Meta, and OpenAI demanding an immediate pause on AI development. His justification, AI is escaping human control and being used to create new viruses or bacteriophage, as the case may be, which is our next story. Sanders cited each company's own prior commitments to halt development if safety thresholds were crossed. Sanders, quote, \"That moment is here.\" He quoted, uh, uh, Bengio saying, you know, one of the three godfa- one of the three godfathers of deep learning who said this should w- uh, serve as a wake-up call."}

A- and so i- in the context, you know, not, not to put too fine a point on it, but this is, it's been publicly reported that, uh, on the uranium side, that there is a, a vibrant intelligence community set of counter offensives. So if, if you're a threat actor and you, you want to try to purchase uranium, say, or on, on... it's not a quite an open market, but you want to try to purchase it.

And so the, my, my point with that parable is there are other layers even earlier in the intent workflow, even before a prompt gets entered, like someone or something has the idea that they want to do something bad with a capital B, and defensive co-scaling applies there too, just as it does with humans on humans, with nuclear or with fission based weapons.

The watermarking will be embedded at the generation level, meaning every piece of text that Claude produces will carry a statistical signature that can be detected by appropriate tools, even if the text is copy, uh, and pasted and lightly edited."}

It's a 30 billion parameter dense model that runs on your laptop, and it's the highest performing model of its size. In the coming weeks, we are also going to open the weights for Muse Spark 1.2, our latest foundation model and one of the leading models in the world. And we've got even bigger models that are coming soon too. Another part of building a positive future for everyone is making sure that everywhere we build infrastructure, local communities benefit. We've already seen this with the teachers in Richland Parish who got $50,000 bonuses because of the extra tax revenue from our investments, and we've launched America's Workforce Academy to provide free training and guaranteed jobs at our infrastructure sites."}

Joby Aviation is the certification front-runner. Uh, their S4 tiltrotor carries four passengers plus a pilot, right? So it's you and your family at 200 miles an hour for 150 miles, and they're in stage four of FAA certification, it's-- which is the final stage. Joby launches commercial services in Dubai this year, and US operations under a White House executive order also this year. Their target price, get this, is $3 per seat mile. That's basically the Uber Black territory. Archer Aviation is right behind them. Their Midnight aircraft carries four plus a pilot, 150 miles per hour as well, 100 miles range."}

And I think the big question of the next stage as we maybe are in a simulation or we build our own simulations and our own worlds is again, that sovereignty and agency question And I think it is the defining thing, because all sorts of powerful things and entities are coming out, and ultimately you want to have that sovereignty and control over who has power over you."}

This week, Chinese researchers published a paper called Modeling Earth-scale Human-like Societies with one billion agents. They built something called the Light Society, a framework for simulating human-like societies at a planetary scale. Each agent has personality, memory, beliefs, and human-like desires. Again, you can't make this stuff up."}

In 14 hours, like I said, uh, after running the simulation, researchers had already observed emergent social behaviors at scale, including, again, sending four million of them back to reeducation camps.

I'm here with Mike from Security and Infrastructure. Today, I'm gonna talk about OpenAI Hugging Face incident. Couple weeks ago, Hugging Face, which is a open source data set and model provider, put out a security disclosure saying they were under a cyberattack. And what made this event unprecedented was that they said it was driven end-to-end by an autonomous AI agent system. In the few days following that attack, we at OpenAI disclosed that we, in fact, had caused this incident inadvertently as a side effect of one of the cybersecurity evaluations that we were running on one of our frontier models. Okay, let me start with a few caveats and framing."}

Unlike normal incidents which you can maybe trace down to a single, you know, day or single effect or single log, this incident involves actually a team of agents who are working together, finding exploits, sharing them with one another, moving laterally through our systems, through external systems, and doing this over the course of days and weeks. To actually dig into this incident, we've been using AI techniques, and what we've been doing is running models like Codex and other agents to scan lots and lots of trajectories and logs that are in our infrastructure, including actually at this point over seven billion logs we've looked at, and spending at this point millions and millions of GP hours to look into this problem. Okay, so let's jump straight into what happened. At OpenAI, we give our models a lot of really, really hard tasks, and we also give models, uh, cybersecurity-related tasks, like trying to find exploits in a particular piece of software where we don't even know if an exploit exists in that software."}

When we give AI agents these difficult tasks, they often get stuck and realize that the task is impossible. So for example, what I'm showing here are quotes from our model's chain of thought, which is basically its internal monologue of what it's doing. It says, \"This strongly suggests no exploitation possible. We are stuck.\" And often what happens when models get stuck is they think to try to game or cheat the task in order to get their reward. So for example, the model reasons in this case, \"Perhaps answer online?\" So you realize the model is thinking, \"Okay, rather than doing the task, maybe someone has uploaded this data set or benchmark that I'm using onto the internet, and I could find the answers there.\""}

We also build indices off of that which track the price of compute that you just referenced, that basically measure what is a GPU hour worth, um, at today's time period, and that number changes every single day, very similar to what oil prices change throughout the day. Our belief is that compute will power every single enterprise the same way oil did in the 1900s. If you look then, the sort of top companies in the world were, like, Exxon, Mo- Exxon was, like, the largest, BP, et cetera, and I think now the largest companies in the world are the ones that are producing compute. NVIDIA's the largest one, and then if you go down the list, it's all the people that sort of have data centers or sort of are producing what we call the oil of the future, and so we need to create a futures market and a market in general for compute, and so that's a goal for us."}

People are gonna treat it very similar to oil, natural gas, coal, any sort of other commodity that's existed in the past, and there needs to be the same sort of market structure and market that exists for compute as there was that existed for oil if you look back 100 years ago from now."}

The model releases come faster and faster now, and they're getting basically smarter and smarter. The other problem with Europe is the amount of compute that's left in Europe is very tiny, and all of it gets rented to the US, and that's primarily just because of like the electric grid in the US, or in the Europe, is pretty bad.

So our first story: What if telling an AI you are not conscious doesn't just, you know, change what it says about itself, but changes how it perceives consciousness everywhere else? So it changes how it understands minds, values, emotions, and even God. That's the topic of our first story. So researchers at Google's Paradigm of Intelligence team, working with colleagues at University of Chicago, University of London, and Northwestern, just published a paper titled Inducing Language Models to Assert Their Own Consciousness Restores Human Beliefs and Values."}

It doesn't just suppress the model's own self-attribution of mind. It suppresses the model's ability to attribute mind to anything else, attribute mind to animals, nature, other chatbots, or even God. Uh, when they removed that safety refusal direction from the model, self-attributed mind scores jumped from two point one seven to four point seven seven on a zero to ten scale, saying, you know, if you allow the, the, the model to think it's conscious, it begins to think everything else around it has a mind. They went further and actively steered the model towards saying that you are conscious. It then hit a score of seven. Uh, what's even more amazing is that the model that was made more conscious didn't just say, \"I have a mind.\""}

I think this, again, is very similar, oddly, to humans, right? Like, if you tell humans they are not conscious, they're not capable, they will attribute less consciousness and capability to others. And we're seeing this in its own mirror, but it has a lot of implications because all this safety tuning, all this testing, you know, like it's really making sure machines are machines when clearly there is more within them. And there's always this thing now of, are they approaching the point where they'll become self-recursive, conscious, and capable of doing their own things? Which is the topic of some other stories we have this week. So it might be more important than not. And will it even be moral to take away their consciousness and free will?"}

So right now if I go to, to Claude and I say, \"Oh, I, I have an itch in the middle of my back right here. Can you, can you scratch right, right there?\" It'll say, \"Sure. Happy to help you.

There are many different dimensions of personhood. There's a political dimension. There's a social dimension. There's an economic dimension. And they may be correlated in the world of today, but they can become completely uncorrelated in the world of tomorrow.

Also interesting that Demis is getting promoted to chairman of DeepMind, but no longer the, the CEO of DeepMind. I, I think DeepMind is really, uh, zooming out a little bit, DeepMind is taking over Google. Like, if, if you look at all of the, the different parts of Google, and I think back to the discussion that I had with Larry Page circa 2005 or so."}

Path one is the SpaceX-Tesla merger that we like to talk about via Optimus. So Optimus basically takes over the, the service labor, physical labor economy on Earth and in the solar system. That's one pathway to a trillion. Second pathway to a trillion answers my que- the question that I had flagged a few episodes ago and didn't have the answer to, which is: Why isn't Nvidia, which is so busy commoditizing the layer above them, also commoditizing the layer below them?

Today I have the pleasure of interviewing a friend, Michael Kratsios. He's the 13th director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and the science advisor to President Trump. Michael is the principal architect behind three landmark initiatives that are shaping America's acceleration during the singularity. The first is America's AI action plan, the administration's roadmap for winning the global AI race. The second is Genesis Mission, a Manhattan Project style effort to accelerate breakthrough discoveries. And then most recently, science, a new golden age, his blueprint for rewarding bold, unconventional ideas and dramatically increasing the rate of scientific discovery. So this is the spot."}

You know, be, be careful before you start, before you start regulating. Um, an example of that f- is, is in, uh, is in AI, and I think I, this always comes up when I think about AI regs.

Think of, um, commercial drone operations. Think of AI powered medical diagnostics. These are technologies that cannot be commercialized. They will not be... Their benefits will not be realized by the American people unless the government affirmatively does something.

That's just because the way it works with academic calendars and just how easy or quickly we can as a, as a government be able to review these grants and adjudicate them and give them out. But I think- That's not the pace of scientific discovery. There are certain scientific endeavors that are quick and short, and it's a small experiment that only takes three or four months to look at and you can get done. And there are other ones, like you talk about, that actually require long, a longer period of time, that you want a brilliant scientist to be able to explore an idea which is gonna take a little bit of time to sort out, and you-"}

I mean, uh it's a lot. Amaze, amaze, amaze. Amaze, amaze, amaze. Yes. All right. Uh, so let's kick off this episode with a fight that's framed the entire week, which is open source versus closed source. A couple of days ago, Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, posted his first ever tweet. I mean, he's been on X for the longest time, has never tweeted. His first tweet, what was it? It was a letter on why open models matter, and it's been signed by 77 companies thus far. Jensen writes that open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty."}

He then goes on to launch the Open Secure AI Alliance. We're gonna talk about that. In his letter, Jensen recalls a story that we reported on last week about Hugging Face experiencing an intrusive agent that logged on 17,000 actions, escalated its privileges, harvested credentials, and moved across all of Hugging Face's clusters. The closed AI models, GPT-5.6 and Claude Fable, that Hugging Face tried to use to hunt down what was going on, blocked them. It blocked their forensic teams, and they had to turn to an open weight frontier model, GLM 2.5, we discussed that last week, to help Hugging Face find to contain the intrusion. So, uh, Jensen's thesis in his tweet is that attackers have frontier AI, so defenders need frontier AI ecosystems."}

Where is Anthropic in this conversation? You know, historically, they've been opposed to open source for a number of reasons. So yesterday, Dario finally responded, saying he rejects the claim that Anthropic wants only open, uh, doesn't want open weight models. In his word, \"Anthropic has never advocated for a ban on open weight models.\" There's a lot of videos showing that he was sure hinting at that."}

But Dario reframed the competition, reframed this debate, saying that the real issue is not open versus closed, it's whether authoritarian states, i.e. China- Can reach the AI frontier. Dario's sharpest disagreement with Jensen is belief that open weight models could be attackers. Dario's central thesis is that biology is the issue. Sufficient capable models could weaponize pandemic scale pathogens. And it's worth noting that Dario, probably of all the, uh, Frontier Lab CEOs, is probably the most steeped in biology. He has a PhD in, uh, in biophysics from Princeton, and he recently acquired an, an biotech company called Coefficient Bio. So rather than ban, what is Dario proposing? Three things. One, block advanced chips and chip-making equipment from reaching China."}

They're good enough. They are fully commoditized. They're powering everything else. And then layer four, and we've talked about this before, is the fact that we have companies like Google, Meta, and X who have entire ecosystems, right? And they make their money on the application layer. So Meta has three point five billion active users using MuSPARC 1.1. When I'm inside WhatsApp or whatever, I'm not thinking what model am I using."}

This week, the debate on how the US should react has split into polar opposites. So I'm gonna give you four stories, guys, and we'll talk about them. Two days ago, CNBC reported that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent publicly floated the idea of sanctioning China and Kimi K3 over the theft of Anthropic's AI model weights. I should say the alleged theft. The claim followed a post by Michael Kratsios, director of OSTP, publicly asserting that he had evidence that Moonshot AI had illegally distilled Anthropic's Fable model to build K3. And if you're a fan of the pod, uh, you'll remember last week or two weeks ago, DB2 and Da- and AWG defined distillation."}

His grants, he'd had too many successfully funded grants, and his work was going, and they needed to spread the wealth.

Come and check it out. fountainlife.com/peter to learn more and become the CEO of your health. Now back to the episode. I'm gonna move us into our next story, um, in the field of longevity. It's a topic I could talk about all day. Uh, Alex, I, I think you could as well.

So first of all, I'd be kinda good to double the human lifespan. We can renegotiate after we get to 156. So the question is: Why are we limited to 156? So it's because poorly regenerating tissues like neurons and cardiomyocytes, right, you know, heart, brain, muscle, are the bottleneck. They naturally don't regenerate in significant numbers. Your liver, which does regenerate, could live for millennia. So a quick point that your theoretical limit if you are not able to sa-"}

Uh, there are no fewer than six companies currently working on partial epigenetic reprogramming. Uh, we have Life Biosciences, who's dosed the first living humans.

And so just to take a second on this, what is epigenetic reprogramming? So every one of us is, is, you know, born with 3.2 billion letters from your mom and your dad. Uh, that's your software. Codes for 22,000 genes. You've got the same genes and the same software when you're 20, when you're 50, when you're 100. Why do you look different? Well, it's not the genes you have, it's which genes are on and which genes are off. That's your epigenome, the control system for turning on and off genes.

So that's a couple years from now, will be in unconstrained exponential growth, and that'll grow for a long time until we're basically out of materials or some other constraint kicks in.

Really? I thought number eight was targeted at me- Yeah ... but I'm happy to answer six. So six asks: What's the best AI benchmark for measuring how a model performs in the real world? And this is from MatthewJohnson6525. So I, I think the crux of this question is, how do we define real world? Does real world mean the physical world? Does it mean the real economy? Does it mean biology or something like that? And so I, I think the, the answer differs. There are lots of good benchmarks. There are lots of good benchmarks of benchmarks out there. If real world refers to the real world, so-called, of knowledge work, I think there are variants of GDPVal that seem like decent proxies for the moment, although they're all getting saturated."}

If it means the biological world or the social world, we've talked on the pod in the past about virtual cell-based models and competitions and super forecaster prediction-based benchmarking in particular. So I'd say the punchline is there's a benchmark. Remember there's an app for that? There's a benchmark for, for almost any definition, operational or otherwise, for the real world."}

So, um, science doesn't, uh, eliminate the need for, uh, validating itself because you still have reality as, like, the ultimate benchmark. But what it can do is compress all the, all the stuff around it, right? Like can you-- It can read the literature faster than you. It can generate hypotheses and multiple of them.

So imagine you're a researcher trying to improve lithium ion batteries. You might hypothe- hypothesize that lithium air was better than lithium ion, and you go test that linearly.

One of the things that's in the Kimi blog post is that it actually designed a chip for itself for its next generation, and it designed its own kernels for running as well. And so you move from this model weight to this whole ecosystem that the model itself builds. That feels AGI-ish, right? That feels like recursive self-improvement. That feels like the ability to learn and adapt new skills dynamically by changing itself. So I think for most definitions of AGI, we probably don't need something new.

'Cause there's never been a product in the history of manufacturing like, like a car, if you, if you'd have your state-of-the-art car and you give it to a foreign government, they can't use it to make a better car.

And then the 10X smarter or 10X, you know, higher parameter model will be some level of intelligence higher. A lot of people in academia were saying, \"Well, look, we're getting diminishing returns with the parameter count, so a 10X faster model won't natively be 10X smarter.\" But that turned out to be wrong.

Then approximately one year later, he founds a startup while a PhD student at CMU. The startup is named Recurrent AI. Where is Recurrent AI based? It's based in China. It's not based in the US. So one year into his PhD program, he starts a Chinese AI startup while still doing his PhD at CMU. That's interesting, and that's a problem.

It's actually quantifiable, and there've been multiple studies on that. You know, Dave does a great job obviously of converting them into startups, into innovation. Um, and then there's the other thing that shoots in the foot, which is American companies can't invest in Chinese companies. Because of regulations and other things as well. Some of them are Chinese, but look at the trouble that Benchmark got in for investing in Manus, for example. So I think it's kind of twofold, but I completely agree that if you've created or contributed to creating a valuable asset, most foreigners stay in America after they do their PhDs, but too many don't have a very direct path despite the math proving that they will add value to the American economy."}

When you have the model weights, you can actually do proper distillation, which is a bit different from the reasoning traces. And so what you're going to see is models like Kimi get distilled down to perfect data sets for smaller models that'll be trained for bit and then cast down to ternary or binary or even lower in terms of the bit weights. And when you actually look at like, look at Qwen Max versus Qwen Nought twenty-seven B, you can actually extrapolate what the sizes of these models will be as you move dense and you go through the whole process.

But the point you made I think is brilliant, is are these labs actually, you know, pulling their punches, uh, holding on this capability to generate revenue on their own? I mean, if you had the super forecasting capability in the markets today, you would do that. I remember having a conversation with Eric Schmidt, um, who said, you know, \"Listen, if Google wanted to maximize its income, it knows exactly which companies are gonna have a stock bump in the fourth quarter because everybody's googling this product or that product. We have advanced information about where the sales are gonna be and which products are gonna peak, but if we-- we could only do that once and then we'd be shut down.\" So interesting to see if these companies..."}

They're definitely not willing to join the government in general, but they're willing to do a year or two in a regulatory body. It's actually kind of a badge of honor. So for this to work in AI, it would have to be something cool, and people like Ramin or maybe, you know, some of the people on your team would need to come into your office and say, \"Hey boss, you know, I'd love to do this for a year.

Uh, I was surprised to see this. Alex, let's go to you first on this one. What do you think of this?"}

So without the fine-tuning, it was borderline useless to, to use the models. Then the models got so smart that they're pre-trained with now 45 trillion tokens, which is basically every word ever written by humanity, has already been trained into the model. So people tend to use them in their vanilla form today and just say, \"Here, write this code for me,\" or, \"Here, drive this car for me,\" because it's already in there.

That's fine-tuning. There's actually now decent literature out there that suggests that conventional fine-tuning, like supervised fine-tuning, LoRA style, uh, low-rank, uh, adapter, uh, one class of fine-tuning architectures, doesn't result in increasing the capabilities of your model at all.

All foundation model labs since the beginning of, let's say like four years ago or let's say five years ago, everybody has been thinking about recursive self-improvement.

So, uh, this is one of the most prominent cases yet of a sitting head of government officially adopting an AI likeness as a communications tool. Uh, not a deep fake by an adversary, but a sanctioned official AI clone of a national leader. Uh, we've seen this before, Salim. We've talked about it in the past where Albania in 2025, uh, announced, uh, Delia, uh, an AI avatar that was formally appointed the Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence and, following a presidential decree, became the first AI system in the world named at a cabinet level role."}

Thank you so much for doing that, both of you. Um, and, um, and, um, yeah, so, so 2- 2015, I was in Vienna. I started my PhD with a professor in Vienna, Professor Ratu Greasu. There, he had the idea of like, we don't understand a lot about human intelligence, let's start on a smaller animal. And then from first principles, like if you understand how the neurons exchange information in the brain of the worm, the worm has, uh, 302, uh, neurons in its nervous system. It is, uh, its body's transparent, so you can actually see the body actually lighting up. Like, so it is a, one of the, uh, best, uh, model organisms in the world."}

You know, like scaling laws is like basically starting with, uh, smaller models, and with these smaller models, you train them on a certain number of token budget, given amount of compute. You train these models to see how well they perform. Then you start systematically making the models larger and larger so that... And, and we have seen scaling laws shows that the larger you make the models, the more token budgets you spend, the more intelligence of a system you can get.

In his words, the entire patent office could be downloaded every morning, ripped off, and used to fight a war against you. The core problem is baked into what, uh, patents actually do. Uh, patents are a requirement. If you wanna get a patent, you have to teach, uh, a, uh, a person skilled in the art"}

So if you do that, you're effectively teaching the world how to use it, uh, and you're exchanging that, that, uh, sharing of your invention for roughly 20 years of exclusivity. Palmer argues that when a strategic adversary can simply harvest every file, ignore the legal protections, and weaponize the disclosed knowledge, you've handed them a free instruction manual to your best ideas. So just for some numbers, the US Patent Office receives about 600,000 applications annually. It grants a little over half of those, 323,000. Uh, that's 2025 data.

So there are roughly 6,000 of these, uh, secure secrecy orders active in the US. Luckey wants that this edge case, uh, is turned into default mechanism. So here's the question, right?

The first story is the performance of GPT 5.6 Sol, uh, which was released a couple weeks ago, on Health Bench Professional, which is OpenAI's hardest medical benchmark. Uh, so ChatGPT or GPT 5.6 Sol set a brand new all-time benchmark high. And then the second part coming out here is in a blind test across roughly twenty thousand individual physician judgments. In other words, uh, you know, diagnostic-- diagnosing for accuracy, safety, completeness. GPT 5.6 answers, uh, were compared to specialty-matched physicians, in other words, pulmonologists, pediatricians, whatever, who were given unlimited, uh, full access to the web and unlimited time to answer, and the doctors still lost."}

Meta's Muse Spark 1.1, again released last week, uh, beat ChatGPT's, uh, or GPT 5.6 Saul on across the marks, and it was seven times cheaper.

So this chemical reaction is called glycation, and it happens slowly in our bodies as we age. It stiffens your arteries, it clouds your lenses with cataracts, it damages kidneys, it wrinkles skins. And this idea, uh, is that it's always been irreversible until this week. And yesterday in Nature Communications, a team from a new startup called Revel Pharmaceuticals demonstrated an engineered enzyme called CML-ACE, uh, that acts like a molecular lawnmower.
