Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

Dave, thoughts here?

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

Yeah, the arbitrage is going to be amazing.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

Yes, but I think to just take the whole other side of this, I think they're going to find it brutally harder than they think to make this all work.

So, for example, you can try and go into a company and scan all the documents, et cetera, but there's a statistic that's pretty surreal, which is 44% of Gen Z workers today are deliberately corrupting the AI that they've been asked to help automate because it sort of won't take their jobs.

It's like literally criminal malpractice, what they're doing.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

So you can get all sorts of messiness and chaos as it goes through this transition.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

And I think this is going to be much harder.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

There's a methodology being developed here that nobody's ever had to do before.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

This is a completely new territory.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

And we'll talk more about that on another episode.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

We will do.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

I'm ready to talk about it.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

So totally agree with Alex on the Greg Brockman commentary.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

Also surprised at the anthropic thing, because I think my understanding is we're like 90% there and could be there within months.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

Or maybe that last 10% is a really hard one, and it's just going to take that much longer.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

And a few years ago, I was asked to moderate a debate between Richard Dawkins and Deepak Chopra.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

um, which I refused because there was going to be more heat than light.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

Then I watched the debate and it was definitely, they were yelling at each other, uh, talking to each other.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

Richard Dawkins is very much a phenomenalologist.

So he's coming at it from bottom up.
