Mar 21, 2026 Big bets and bigger bottlenecks. The conversation races through NVIDIA’s trillion-dollar AI buildout, orbital data centers, and a possible Tesla-made challenge to TSMC. It also hits Anthropic’s enterprise surge, OpenClaw’s rapid spread, collapsing CS career paths, AI-driven scientific discovery, and even White House alien disclosure rumors.

Episode notes
The Next AI Architecture Likely Comes From Left Field
- The hosts expect a post-Transformer breakthrough as large as the jump from LSTMs to Transformers, and think AI can help discover it.
- Alex Wissner-Gross said the winner likely comes from small-model experiments or transformers writing other transformers, not a simple return to recurrent nets.
Anthropic Is Winning Enterprise By Staying Focused
- Anthropic surged in first-time enterprise model share while OpenAI’s share dropped sharply, suggesting enterprise buyers value reliability and reasoning fit over consumer momentum.
- Dave Blundin contrasted Dario Amodei’s researcher-led focus with Sam Altman’s broader dealmaking and vertical expansion.
The Hosts See Wisdom As A Likely Output Of Scale
- Peter H. Diamandis argued superintelligence may become wise by simulating billions of scenarios and choosing paths with the best outcomes, not just by being smart.
- Alex Wissner-Gross noted this view challenges the orthogonality thesis by implying capability could naturally converge toward compassion and alignment.
