Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Okay, we are gathered here today in holy unity, brothers and sisters, to convene and discuss on this most holy day, the day the All In podcast drops, many topics, AI data centers, China, justice, human dignity. Darion winding these SPVs hasn't been good for the Vatican. We got in at 20 billion. That was a 50 bagger for us. So let's get started.
Jason, I'm pretty sure you believed you were the vicar of God before the encyclical.
Chapter 2: What insights does Bill Gurley share about becoming valuable in the age of AI?
So this is nothing new for you.
I'm going all in.
The smoke has risen from Chamath's pool house and from the poker room. He's staying in my pool house. He's been there for the last three days. It's been magnificent. He didn't know. You know what? I understand where OJ was coming from. You know, you put Kato Kaelin in your house for long enough, you just lose your shit at some point. At some point, somebody's getting whacked.
Chapter 3: How does the Pope's encyclical address the challenges of AI?
All right, enough with the shenanigans. But it's been great staying at the house because there's actually, Chamath is not aware of this, there's an iPad in the kitchen and that's logged in to Uber Eats, DoorDash, Instacart, Amazon, Laura Piana. Shut the fuck up. Come on, stop. No, there is. It's literally every single service.
And I told the house manager, like, listen, any packages that come in the next 72 hours, right to the pool house, if it says J cow, right to the pool house. So all these packages have been coming, then I relabeled them, gave them back, send them to the ranch. And now the house manager sending that stuff to the ranch.
Chapter 4: What is Anthropic's vision of AI as a superior species?
Laura Piano wants to know why my inseam went from 36 to 12. The waist size went from 32 to 36. All right, welcome to the program, everybody. David Sachs is here. How are you doing, David? I'm good. Chamath Palihapitiya is back at the 8090 office. I was at the 8090 office the last couple of days, and it's a vibe. What do you think?
It's a vibe. It's a vibe.
There's like a great culture going on.
Chapter 5: How is open source technology being impacted by regulatory discussions?
If you're a bestie and you show up at that office, though, everybody there is a huge fan of the pod.
Chapter 6: What is the future of AI sovereignty and privacy?
So I was like, it was like being royalty. It's stopped by everybody. Hey, I'm a developer here. I'm a big fan of the show. Thank you for giving it to Chamath. We can't give it to him because he pays our mortgage and everything. But every time you stick it to Chamath, we love it. We're cheering for you in the secret Slack room. There's a secret Slack room. There is.
There is definitely a secret Slack room going on. No, but it was great. The vibes were awesome. You're building a lot of software, a lot of young talent. I don't want to say that where your secret source is, but there's a secret source of talent you have. And man, those are some smart kids. I'm happy to say it.
Look, when I was at Facebook, we became the most aggressive recruiter of Waterloo co-ops. And so I went back to the well. Yeah, we recruit more interns every quarter than we have full-time engineers, which we do on purpose because it puts a ton of pressure on the product actually being good.
Chapter 7: Is the AI job loss narrative overblown?
We had 400 people apply this quarter for internships. Wow. It's very interesting with us sitting in for Friedberg, who's busy with some potato seed this week, doing great stuff at Ohalo. The one, the only. Bill Gurley is here. He's been running down a dream. If you haven't bought the book, get the book. It's incredible. And you're off book tour. So now you have time for us. Yeah.
Yes. And I, you know, I had told you, if you ever talk about the Pope, I'd love to hop on. Yes.
You were like. Well, you know, Bill's an evangelical. I'm a Catholic, so we do have some common ground here. When's the last time you were at church, Bill? Have you thought now that you're out of the full time? I don't like when J. Cal gets sacrilegious. I got to come on there and make sure J. Cal doesn't get out of line with the Pope. Listen, the Pope is God's messenger on earth.
We should give him a base level of respect. By the way, that's us imitating Bill Gurley. It's not actually Bill Gurley. Just for those of you listening, you think they were confused? They were. Literally, they were confused. We don't want to put words in your mouth. But just a point of clarification.
Hey, everybody knows you handed the baton over at Benchmark after a very successful couple of decades in venture capital. You wrote the book. You've now got a nonprofit. You're doing your own spin, I think, on maybe what Peter Thiel does with his fellowship. You started your own Running Down a Dream fellowship, I understand.
Yeah. Yeah, it's targeted at a different demographic. It's called rdad.org, runningdownadream.org. There's a website we can give a link to. We're going to do $5,000 grants to people who want to chase their dreams but need some help. And so there is an application process like... Teal Fellows and other programs, and we've been out talking to those people. But we're actually live.
We went live last week for the application. So if you know people who have read the book and are inspired and need some help, have them apply.
Yeah. All right, folks. Good for you, BG.
Yeah, it's great. So I did a TED Talk, which will come out soon, that's related to the book. There's a professor in Miami that's built a course around the book, which I'm excited about. And he's doing it in kind of an open source way so that other people can borrow that as well. And so if there's anyone out there, I'd love to help them do that.
