Elon Musk vs. Sam Altman, AI Job Loss, and OpenAI’s $852B Valuation | EP #247

Do you remember the scene, guys, in the Johnny Depp movie, Transcendence, where the solar panels are being grown by nanorobots?

Do you remember that scene?

I don't know if that's possible to include just that scene where solar panels are being grown by nanorobots.

I mean, maybe this is too cute by half, but given the earlier discussion of OpenAI starting as a not-for-profit and then converting to a PBC and all the lawsuits that ensued, it would be ironic if the OpenAI Foundation, which is the new nonprofit carved off of the old for-profit, carved off of the old new profit, ended up being so profitable due to curing Alzheimer's and solving all these other problems that the cycle repeats itself and the OpenAI Foundation has to become a for-profit.

I think also for everyone who was hand-wringing, do you remember a few months ago, there was so much hand-wringing about a circular economy forming and NVIDIA self-dealing loans to other companies to buy NVIDIA chips and concern that this AI boom was fictitious and just the product of self-dealing circular transactions and
