Hi, I'm super happy he's making these decisions. I believe in freedom of speech.
And when he loses tens of billions of dollars in personal net worth, will he make the same decisions? We'll see. But I can tell you, if Kamala Harris had been voted in, he would double down on censorship instead of taking this position. I think he is terrified of Trump and having his company broken up, and he's doing this strictly to appease Trump.
which I think putting Dana White on the board is another signal. That's one of Trump's good friends. He's just trying to get close to the party. He's trying to make up for lost time for when he supported the censorship of Trump and other folks. I think he would make the opposite decision. But to your point, we're here. I'm glad he's here.
No, definitely not. He's 10, 15 years younger than me. He killed me. Not a chance would I meet him in the octagon. But I wish him well. I wish him well.
Let's not start that up again. I'm just wondering.
I actually literally challenged him. He wanted to send the mountain. He wanted to pick...
Absolutely, it might get more ratings than it, yeah.
Well, there you go. American Gladiators, the CEO edition. Business to business edition. They're going SaaS. All right, listen. NVIDIA going consumer. Let's talk about it. NVIDIA made a big announcement at CES this week. They made a lot of them. One of them that was particularly interesting was this $3,000 personal AI computer for researchers. That's awesome. It's called Project Digits. And...
It's essentially like maybe Arduino would be a way to look at this, like a personal device, but it's powerful enough to run LLMs on. They're also going after physical AI, like robotics and self-driving, as we said here on the award show.
A lot of people on the panel were predicting this year would be the year of robotics, and they announced that they're going to have driver-assistant chips and maybe build worlds for people to simulate robots.
Which net-net, at the end of the day, I think Freiburg puts them on second, would put autonomy partners on second or third base in terms of creating technology by incorporating it into the chips and into their stack. So, Cyan, what do you think of these announcements and some of the other ones he made? I know you were excited to talk about this.
Then it's kind of... You think Tesla should buy Uber?
Well, that would be about 10% of Tesla's market cap at this point. If they paid a premium, it might be 15%. So it would be very similar to the WhatsApp.
Yeah, it is true. Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, it's a dying brand. And would the point be, I do think you're correct.
Well, and it's also not global. But looking at the Amazon and Waymo, Tesla, and Uber, I think Waymo plus Uber, Amazon plus Uber, or Tesla plus Uber defines who number one is, right? Because you'd have a global footprint. And for the five, 10 years, maybe 10 years it takes to roll out taxis globally, you could have people drive.
I mean, it's a really interesting thought process you have here, Sayan. Imagine if there was an intermediary step where They sold less Teslas this year slightly than last year. You could just keep producing lots of Model Ys and give them to the Uber drivers, keep reinforcement learning going while the taxis and regulations get set.
And then you would be able to put another, instead of selling 1.8 million Teslas, you could sell 3 million Teslas, 4 million Teslas to Uber drivers, get all that data and have the safety driver in while each region decides if they want robo-taxis, where, how, et cetera. Your thoughts, Chamath, on NVIDIA's dipping their toe into maybe taking the bottom 30% of the stack of self-driving?
I think it's a toy, a hobbyist kind of device that becomes like a bridge. And we see this often in technology where somebody creates, like even the original PCs, let's face it, they were kind of like toys and hobbyist devices, Arduinos, and the original drones were kind of hobbyist.
