DeepSeek Panic, US vs China, OpenAI $40B?, and Doge Delivers with Travis Kalanick and David Sacks

I'm doing really well. I got to say, just like at the Summit, Jason, it's an honor to be in the presence of... Such a prominent Uber investor.

Yeah, I mean, the high level for it, the way to think about it is it's about the future of food. What does the future of food look like? You go, well, in 100 years, we'll start way out there. In 100 years, you're going to have very high quality food, very low cost. that's incredibly convenient. And there are going to be machines that make it. There are going to be machines that get it to you.

And it's going to be exactly to your dietary preferences, your food preferences, et cetera. And it just comes to you. And it's so inexpensive that it approaches or has surpassed the cost of going to the grocery store. That's more of like a today analogy. So you go, 100 years, of course, that's the thing. Nobody's going to be making food. What about 20? What about 10?

And so the company is real estate, software, and robotics that's all about the future of food. And if you can get the quality there and you can get that cost down to start approaching the cost of going to the grocery store, you do to the kitchen what Uber did to the car. And that's the thing. And it's like a grind. It's like bits and atoms in the Uber world.

This is like five times more atoms per bit. This is like heavy duty industrial stuff. Probably more along the lines of like, you know, where Elon goes and some of his companies, like they're super interesting tech, but you've got to grind out those atoms.

Look, people will cook in the future as a hobby. I make a joke at the office. I'm like, I like horses. I love horses, but I don't ride a horse to work. And it's going to be a little bit like that. Whereas you can cook. It's a soulful thing to do. It's just very human. But, you know, it's late, you know, mom gets home late from the office, needs to get the kids, you know, a nutritious meal.

We're not working with these brands specifically, but I'll just sort of, it's a good analogy. Like think of Chipotle or Kava or sweet green, or you get the idea. We created test brands that were like those things and built the machine at the same time as we were building an actual restaurant. And we built that restaurant to prove that the machine works.

They're using the machine and the way it will, the way it's going to go down is they will come into, and we, of course we have the real estate. So we have kitchens, you know, tens of thousands of kitchens around the world. They will come into one of our kitchens in a facility.
