This is the colossal artificial egg.

Our permeable membrane allows oxygen to diffuse into the system through the membrane at ambient temperatures.

This is a real breakthrough.

I've argued in the past that we achieved AGI in the summer of 2020.

We know, I would argue, what AGI is, and we know how... Please define it for me.

Maybe.

Hugsies, hugsies.

Other than the obvious quips about the Dyson Swarm, blah, blah, blah, I do think there is the seed here of the future of corporate governance in an age of what we might historically have called moonshots.

Right now, we have traditional notions of C corporations that exist to maximize profit for shareholders or return for shareholders.

various notions of B corporations or public benefit corporations that exist in addition to optimize public benefit.

I think I can see here the nucleus of almost a third type of corporation that Elon and his board are pioneering, which is corporations that exist to achieve moonshots and that compensate accordingly.

I would love to see every S&P 500 company have as ambitious outcomes and comp plans corresponding to these for their CEOs.

And yes, we get the Dyson Swan.

Alex, do you want to kick it off?

Yeah, a few thoughts.

One, aside from the point that I've mentioned previously on the pod, which is that this is going to make for an absolutely amazing made-for-television movie someday made by Aaron Sorkin, or maybe straight to cinema.

I think there's an interesting teleplay playing out before us about the future of corporate governance.

And I think this connects naturally with the previous story about Elon's own comp packages, which is that in an era when it's possible to start a not-for-profit with a moonshot goal, OpenAI was originally crafted with the goal of essentially front-running Google DeepMind to AGI and counterbalancing Google DeepMind, which Elon and others perceived as

potentially creating a singleton, a single superintelligence.

That was his concern.
