All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
SpaceX's $2T Case, Nvidia's Shock Selloff, America Turns on AI, Trump Pulls AI Order, Bond Crisis?

What's interesting about Andres, he's been at the wave upon wave of AI.

SpaceX's $2T Case, Nvidia's Shock Selloff, America Turns on AI, Trump Pulls AI Order, Bond Crisis?

He was probably the first person that really commercialized the Richard Sutton bitter lesson essay.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg

when he was leading FSD at Tesla, which was really about the brute force computation.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
SpaceX's $2T Case, Nvidia's Shock Selloff, America Turns on AI, Trump Pulls AI Order, Bond Crisis?

And I remember him telling me this story.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
SpaceX's $2T Case, Nvidia's Shock Selloff, America Turns on AI, Trump Pulls AI Order, Bond Crisis?

I don't know if he said this publicly or not, but where he spent a portion of his time, I want to say a quarter of his time labeling data.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
SpaceX's $2T Case, Nvidia's Shock Selloff, America Turns on AI, Trump Pulls AI Order, Bond Crisis?

Could you imagine like 2016, 17, like hand labeling video data from Tesla's.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
SpaceX's $2T Case, Nvidia's Shock Selloff, America Turns on AI, Trump Pulls AI Order, Bond Crisis?

So he did that.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
SpaceX's $2T Case, Nvidia's Shock Selloff, America Turns on AI, Trump Pulls AI Order, Bond Crisis?

Then he's co-founder of OpenAI.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
SpaceX's $2T Case, Nvidia's Shock Selloff, America Turns on AI, Trump Pulls AI Order, Bond Crisis?

He's a star.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
SpaceX's $2T Case, Nvidia's Shock Selloff, America Turns on AI, Trump Pulls AI Order, Bond Crisis?

And he's an exceptional human being.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
SpaceX's $2T Case, Nvidia's Shock Selloff, America Turns on AI, Trump Pulls AI Order, Bond Crisis?

And he's super curious.

SpaceX's $2T Case, Nvidia's Shock Selloff, America Turns on AI, Trump Pulls AI Order, Bond Crisis?

And

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
SpaceX's $2T Case, Nvidia's Shock Selloff, America Turns on AI, Trump Pulls AI Order, Bond Crisis?

Then what he's done as a kind of a free agent is also quite impressive.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
SpaceX's $2T Case, Nvidia's Shock Selloff, America Turns on AI, Trump Pulls AI Order, Bond Crisis?

So I think that this is a really important deal.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
SpaceX's $2T Case, Nvidia's Shock Selloff, America Turns on AI, Trump Pulls AI Order, Bond Crisis?

I think he's one of these really curious people that can be sent off and they'll just go and invent new things.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
SpaceX's $2T Case, Nvidia's Shock Selloff, America Turns on AI, Trump Pulls AI Order, Bond Crisis?

And I think this idea of recursive self-learning puts these models on a combination of overdrive and autopilot.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
SpaceX's $2T Case, Nvidia's Shock Selloff, America Turns on AI, Trump Pulls AI Order, Bond Crisis?

And so if you put those two things together, I think that you start to, you could potentially live out this idea that there's an order of magnitude improvement on a yearly basis.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
SpaceX's $2T Case, Nvidia's Shock Selloff, America Turns on AI, Trump Pulls AI Order, Bond Crisis?

So like this new form of Moore's law.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
SpaceX's $2T Case, Nvidia's Shock Selloff, America Turns on AI, Trump Pulls AI Order, Bond Crisis?

So then the model quality just goes absolutely parabolically, just like this, straight up.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
SpaceX's $2T Case, Nvidia's Shock Selloff, America Turns on AI, Trump Pulls AI Order, Bond Crisis?

Throw a bunch of compute at the problem, and these things learn really quick.
