1
00:00:03,380 --> 00:00:07,860
Ejaaz:
Welcome back to the Limitless AI Roundup. This week, NVIDIA is well on its way

2
00:00:07,860 --> 00:00:10,220
Ejaaz:
to becoming a $10 trillion company.

3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:16,240
Ejaaz:
Jensen Huang announced a $2 billion investment in XAI, putting a massive smile on Elon Musk's face.

4
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:21,780
Ejaaz:
But Sam Altman's been pretty busy as well. He announced 800 million total weekly

5
00:00:21,780 --> 00:00:28,060
Ejaaz:
users on ChatGPT, which is a 300 million jump from last update,

6
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:29,360
Ejaaz:
which is absolutely insane.

7
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:34,580
Ejaaz:
And Apple might be scrapping their Vision Pro after all this effort, Josh.

8
00:00:35,140 --> 00:00:40,580
Ejaaz:
Lots to cover this week and lots to get into, starting with this breaking news from AMD.

9
00:00:41,220 --> 00:00:47,080
Ejaaz:
AMD, for those of you who haven't heard of it, is pretty much NVIDIA's main competitor.

10
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:52,120
Ejaaz:
They create a bunch of important chips, GPUs, and infrastructure needed to train

11
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:53,900
Ejaaz:
and inference new AI models.

12
00:00:54,260 --> 00:00:58,860
Ejaaz:
And in this announcement, they secured a partnership with OpenAI of a total

13
00:00:58,860 --> 00:01:02,420
Ejaaz:
of six gigawatts over multiple years.

14
00:01:02,580 --> 00:01:07,900
Ejaaz:
I think this specific is five years in total. But the most important fact about

15
00:01:07,900 --> 00:01:13,080
Ejaaz:
this, in my opinion, is the 10% equity stake that they're offering Sam Altman,

16
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:14,800
Ejaaz:
Josh. Did you hear about this?

17
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:20,120
Ejaaz:
They're basically offering up a stake for OpenAI in their own company.

18
00:01:20,810 --> 00:01:22,990
Josh:
Yeah, this is a pretty outrageous deal. Before we get into the deal,

19
00:01:23,090 --> 00:01:25,450
Josh:
can we just take a moment to look at the chart if you don't mind pulling that up?

20
00:01:25,590 --> 00:01:28,690
Josh:
Because the weekly chart of AMD is outrageous. And I think it's very reflective

21
00:01:28,690 --> 00:01:31,790
Josh:
of the size and scale of this deal. Yeah.

22
00:01:31,950 --> 00:01:35,790
Josh:
So on the day the news broke, I think the stock was up almost 40%.

23
00:01:35,790 --> 00:01:38,610
Josh:
It might have closed like around plus 30% or something outrageous,

24
00:01:38,610 --> 00:01:40,250
Josh:
but the market loves this.

25
00:01:40,410 --> 00:01:45,710
Josh:
And I think the reason why is because this is a big bet and a vertical integration of technology.

26
00:01:45,710 --> 00:01:48,550
Josh:
Like open ai needs chips amd needs someone to sell their

27
00:01:48,550 --> 00:01:51,330
Josh:
chips too because nvidia is like kind of crushing everyone and the

28
00:01:51,330 --> 00:01:54,590
Josh:
deal you can kind of view it in two separate ways so amd first

29
00:01:54,590 --> 00:01:57,410
Josh:
they sell open ai a mountain of chips open ai

30
00:01:57,410 --> 00:02:01,770
Josh:
promises to buy a gigantic amount of amd special ai chips they're called the

31
00:02:01,770 --> 00:02:06,010
Josh:
instinct gpus i think which is different from uh nvidia's blackwell um they'll

32
00:02:06,010 --> 00:02:09,530
Josh:
start with enough chips to use one gigawatt of power in 2026 so that's like

33
00:02:09,530 --> 00:02:13,430
Josh:
the electricity needed to light up a whole build a whole city like seattle like

34
00:02:13,430 --> 00:02:17,150
Josh:
a gigawatt is huge no one's reached it before, but they're going to try to do that in 2026.

35
00:02:17,410 --> 00:02:23,210
Josh:
Over time, it'll grow to six gigawatts of total energy, which is like this like

36
00:02:23,210 --> 00:02:24,090
Josh:
crazy outrageous thing.

37
00:02:24,210 --> 00:02:27,110
Josh:
So like imagine you build a robot army for like a school project,

38
00:02:27,250 --> 00:02:28,550
Josh:
you need 100,000 Lego bricks.

39
00:02:28,750 --> 00:02:31,150
Josh:
Instead of buying a few at a time, you make a deal with the Lego store to get

40
00:02:31,150 --> 00:02:34,310
Josh:
millions over five years. That's kind of how you could think of this deal with them.

41
00:02:34,430 --> 00:02:38,850
Josh:
And then on the back end of the deal, OpenAI gets a chance to own part of AMD.

42
00:02:39,190 --> 00:02:43,030
Josh:
So as part of the deal, AMD gave OpenAI a warrant, which is kind of like a special

43
00:02:43,030 --> 00:02:46,610
Josh:
ticket to buy up to 10% of AMD's company super cheap.

44
00:02:46,790 --> 00:02:50,630
Josh:
Think like a penny per share. But OpenEye only gets this if they hit the goals,

45
00:02:50,750 --> 00:02:53,550
Josh:
like actually buying and using all those chips without any problems.

46
00:02:53,710 --> 00:02:56,850
Josh:
So like one example I was explaining to my friend is that if you're trading

47
00:02:56,850 --> 00:03:00,510
Josh:
Pokemon cards, you give them, you give your friend like a bunch of rare cards now.

48
00:03:00,650 --> 00:03:03,430
Josh:
And in return, they promise if your collection grows big enough,

49
00:03:03,570 --> 00:03:06,430
Josh:
you get to own half of their card box for free. So it's kind of a win-win.

50
00:03:06,650 --> 00:03:09,730
Josh:
You get what you need now in hopes of earning a lot of revenue down the line.

51
00:03:09,850 --> 00:03:13,510
Josh:
And that's kind of how you could think of this deal is it's it's a bet on both

52
00:03:13,510 --> 00:03:18,790
Josh:
of their futures but aligned to the same outcomes so all this only plays out in the case that

53
00:03:19,490 --> 00:03:22,790
Josh:
OpenAI is able to make these data centers, and then AMD is actually able to

54
00:03:22,790 --> 00:03:28,290
Josh:
give the GPUs required to make these data centers, which is a big win-win, and the market loved it.

55
00:03:28,470 --> 00:03:33,190
Josh:
I mean, this chart is very reflective of how impressive people think this deal is.

56
00:03:33,350 --> 00:03:38,870
Josh:
There's a lot of talk about this kind of circle of revenue happening,

57
00:03:38,870 --> 00:03:43,870
Josh:
where OpenAI is paying AMD, AMD is lending stuff to OpenAI, but overall,

58
00:03:43,990 --> 00:03:47,090
Josh:
the market seems to like it. Ejaz, did you have any takeaways from this?

59
00:03:47,090 --> 00:03:50,970
Ejaaz:
Well, that's kind of what I want to get into. You can frame it as one way,

60
00:03:51,030 --> 00:03:55,210
Ejaaz:
as a win-win, as you said, but it could also be framed as kind of like a house

61
00:03:55,210 --> 00:03:57,990
Ejaaz:
of cards that might come crumbling down at any point.

62
00:03:59,210 --> 00:04:04,110
Ejaaz:
As you said, OpenAI is promising to pay for these things, but they don't actually

63
00:04:04,110 --> 00:04:07,470
Ejaaz:
have the trillions of dollars needed to pay for these GPUs just yet.

64
00:04:07,690 --> 00:04:11,730
Ejaaz:
And in AMD's position, they don't have the chips or the infrastructure ready

65
00:04:11,730 --> 00:04:16,790
Ejaaz:
to go either, right? So it's kind of like a, hey, I owe you and we'll promise to build this out.

66
00:04:16,950 --> 00:04:22,690
Ejaaz:
And actually, the 10% equity stake that was offered to Sam Altman was to sweeten

67
00:04:22,690 --> 00:04:26,710
Ejaaz:
the deal in any case, saying like, listen, I know that NVIDIA is the big dog,

68
00:04:26,750 --> 00:04:28,530
Ejaaz:
but we can deliver on this.

69
00:04:28,630 --> 00:04:33,590
Ejaaz:
And we're promising you in good faith that you can buy 10% of our company at

70
00:04:33,590 --> 00:04:36,650
Ejaaz:
a given price if you just trust us and we deliver on it.

71
00:04:36,710 --> 00:04:40,730
Ejaaz:
And there'll be milestones that rank this up, right? I want to dig into the

72
00:04:40,730 --> 00:04:44,410
Ejaaz:
math very quickly because the margins are, as you can imagine, pretty nuts.

73
00:04:44,710 --> 00:04:49,230
Ejaaz:
So the total number of units that are promised for 6 gigawatts is 5 million

74
00:04:49,230 --> 00:04:51,130
Ejaaz:
units of AMD processors.

75
00:04:51,410 --> 00:04:54,570
Ejaaz:
And the price per GPU is around 20 grand.

76
00:04:54,870 --> 00:04:58,830
Ejaaz:
So total revenue for AMD in this would be around $100 billion.

77
00:04:59,330 --> 00:05:03,570
Ejaaz:
That's a big number. And I know OpenAI doesn't have that money just yet, right?

78
00:05:03,850 --> 00:05:08,390
Ejaaz:
And the gross profit that AMD is taking from this is 50%. That's $50 billion.

79
00:05:08,870 --> 00:05:12,610
Ejaaz:
But then someone is saying, well, okay, but they're giving 10% of the company,

80
00:05:12,750 --> 00:05:17,130
Ejaaz:
but then 10% of AMD's equity at Friday's close, which is, I think,

81
00:05:17,630 --> 00:05:19,530
Ejaaz:
before this announcement was officially

82
00:05:19,530 --> 00:05:22,250
Ejaaz:
made, or maybe on the day of this announcement, was $21 billion.

83
00:05:22,570 --> 00:05:26,770
Ejaaz:
So you're assuming that if you can buy in at a $21 billion valuation,

84
00:05:26,770 --> 00:05:34,430
Ejaaz:
by the time that these gigawatts are served to OpenAI, they'll probably be worth a marginal amount more.

85
00:05:34,730 --> 00:05:39,990
Ejaaz:
So really, AMD spent $21 billion to make $50 billion in the immediate terms,

86
00:05:40,130 --> 00:05:41,090
Ejaaz:
which is a pretty good deal.

87
00:05:42,170 --> 00:05:44,570
Ejaaz:
One other thing that I thought of is

88
00:05:45,010 --> 00:05:49,970
Ejaaz:
This is an unexpected move from OpenAI and Sam Altman specifically,

89
00:05:49,970 --> 00:05:55,250
Ejaaz:
because he's been in really good cahoots with Jensen Huang and NVIDIA.

90
00:05:55,790 --> 00:06:01,290
Ejaaz:
And Jensen's been kind of known to rule the roost, and you don't want to ruffle feathers with him.

91
00:06:01,430 --> 00:06:05,510
Ejaaz:
And this is a direct violation of that. In fact, Josh, I don't know if you saw

92
00:06:05,510 --> 00:06:10,110
Ejaaz:
this, but he had some supposed commentary, which is detailed in this tweet,

93
00:06:10,230 --> 00:06:13,830
Ejaaz:
where he goes, I saw the deal. It's unique and surprising.

94
00:06:14,370 --> 00:06:16,870
Ejaaz:
Considering they were so excited about their next generation product,

95
00:06:17,150 --> 00:06:21,190
Ejaaz:
I'm surprised they would give away 10% of the company before they even built

96
00:06:21,190 --> 00:06:22,990
Ejaaz:
it. Anyway, it's clever, I guess.

97
00:06:23,330 --> 00:06:27,950
Ejaaz:
So I don't know directly where that quote is taken from, but you can just tell

98
00:06:27,950 --> 00:06:31,890
Ejaaz:
that Jensen is kind of like sitting on top of his throne and he's watching what's

99
00:06:31,890 --> 00:06:34,550
Ejaaz:
happening and he's making sure that the kids behave.

100
00:06:35,170 --> 00:06:39,690
Ejaaz:
And one final point is, I saw a tweet going around, I couldn't find it,

101
00:06:39,770 --> 00:06:44,730
Ejaaz:
which was apparently taken from a statement from OpenAI basically saying,

102
00:06:45,090 --> 00:06:51,650
Ejaaz:
we're entering this partnership with AMD, but this by no means violates our

103
00:06:51,650 --> 00:06:54,590
Ejaaz:
partnership with NVIDIA, who we trust and we love so much.

104
00:06:54,750 --> 00:06:57,950
Ejaaz:
And we're looking forward to taking our partnership with NVIDIA further in the

105
00:06:57,950 --> 00:07:00,790
Ejaaz:
future. He actually mentioned NVIDIA more than he mentioned AMD,

106
00:07:01,070 --> 00:07:02,590
Ejaaz:
which is what the announcement was about.

107
00:07:02,870 --> 00:07:07,690
Ejaaz:
So there's this cautious treading around, okay, whose GPUs are we going to take,

108
00:07:07,810 --> 00:07:13,090
Ejaaz:
which is a strategy which Sam has been employing not just in the GPU world,

109
00:07:13,130 --> 00:07:14,810
Ejaaz:
but with compute in general.

110
00:07:15,010 --> 00:07:18,650
Ejaaz:
Remember, he had an over-reliance on Microsoft less than a year ago,

111
00:07:18,650 --> 00:07:22,230
Ejaaz:
and now he's kind of like spread that to Oracle and a number of other providers.

112
00:07:22,390 --> 00:07:24,630
Ejaaz:
So just an interesting trend to note.

113
00:07:25,370 --> 00:07:27,990
Josh:
Yeah, I love this quote from Jensen that we have on the screen.

114
00:07:28,150 --> 00:07:31,470
Josh:
He's just so hyper-competitive. And then I listened to a lot of the things that he said.

115
00:07:31,850 --> 00:07:35,730
Josh:
Uh, he just had a conversation on CNBC earlier this morning, I think.

116
00:07:35,870 --> 00:07:40,250
Josh:
And it was about the Nvidia deal and about the, the nature of the deals.

117
00:07:40,290 --> 00:07:43,210
Josh:
And he publicly makes it seem very positive.

118
00:07:43,370 --> 00:07:45,970
Josh:
Some, when he talks about these companies, he is, everybody's great.

119
00:07:46,070 --> 00:07:49,230
Josh:
He always makes time to give credit to all of the amazing companies, all the amazing CEOs.

120
00:07:49,530 --> 00:07:52,870
Josh:
The reality is, is like, he has a very hardcore operator. He is hyper competitive.

121
00:07:53,130 --> 00:07:56,910
Josh:
And when he sees, sees deals like this, I mean, he, he's right in the sense

122
00:07:56,910 --> 00:08:00,930
Josh:
that, well, AMD gave away 10% of the company, like Nvidia ships are badass.

123
00:08:01,130 --> 00:08:04,570
Josh:
We don't have to give away anything. And I think that kind of leads us into the next deal.

124
00:08:04,770 --> 00:08:09,630
Josh:
And I mean, Ejaz, you started the show with a $10 trillion valuation for Nvidia.

125
00:08:09,870 --> 00:08:14,090
Josh:
So please back us into how we get there. Like they had one big deal this week, right?

126
00:08:14,230 --> 00:08:19,230
Josh:
Which probably plays a large role in that valuation between XAI. Please explain.

127
00:08:19,890 --> 00:08:23,190
Ejaaz:
So the headline here is Nvidia is

128
00:08:23,190 --> 00:08:26,510
Ejaaz:
to take up to $2 billion worth of equity stake

129
00:08:26,510 --> 00:08:29,670
Ejaaz:
in Elon Musk's xai that's elon

130
00:08:29,670 --> 00:08:32,510
Ejaaz:
musk's ai model company right they they own

131
00:08:32,510 --> 00:08:36,530
Ejaaz:
twitter they own the infamous scruc model which is leading all benchmarks and

132
00:08:36,530 --> 00:08:41,210
Ejaaz:
so this was a pretty major and unexpected announcement um now that we've just

133
00:08:41,210 --> 00:08:44,930
Ejaaz:
spoken about the amd deal josh i do wonder if jensen got kind of pissed and

134
00:08:44,930 --> 00:08:49,430
Ejaaz:
was like well screw you sam i'm gonna remind you that i don't have an overreliance

135
00:08:49,430 --> 00:08:52,410
Ejaaz:
or a oath sworn to open ai on.

136
00:08:52,410 --> 00:08:55,650
Josh:
The conversation that he had with cnbc this morning he made a very explicit

137
00:08:55,650 --> 00:08:59,710
Josh:
point to say um i'm very excited to participate in all of elon's companies i

138
00:08:59,710 --> 00:09:03,570
Josh:
intend on continuing to participate yeah my only regret is that i didn't spend

139
00:09:03,570 --> 00:09:06,610
Josh:
more that i didn't invest more in these amazing companies so it is very clear

140
00:09:06,610 --> 00:09:09,250
Josh:
this is like this is this is war we are fighting

141
00:09:09,250 --> 00:09:15,490
Ejaaz:
I i mean what what's interesting is uh this deal promises elon musk and xai

142
00:09:15,490 --> 00:09:22,290
Ejaaz:
a heck ton of nvidia gpus and these gpus are going to be specifically used for

143
00:09:22,290 --> 00:09:27,970
Ejaaz:
elon musk's major data center called Colossus 2, which we've spoken about on this show before.

144
00:09:28,190 --> 00:09:32,290
Ejaaz:
And if you remember at the time where Elon announced that he was going to build

145
00:09:32,290 --> 00:09:38,130
Ejaaz:
Colossus 2, when he built Colossus 1, Jensen had said, this is the smartest,

146
00:09:38,590 --> 00:09:41,810
Ejaaz:
and most effective man that I've ever seen build a data center.

147
00:09:41,950 --> 00:09:47,930
Ejaaz:
And he had full faith speaking his positivity towards Elon at that time.

148
00:09:48,050 --> 00:09:50,910
Ejaaz:
And we're seeing him kind of like lean into it. But him saying,

149
00:09:51,030 --> 00:09:53,450
Ejaaz:
like, whatever Elon does, I want to be involved in.

150
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:59,760
Ejaaz:
It also gets me to kind of think that if Sam or AMD is giving away 10% stake

151
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:04,560
Ejaaz:
in their company to OpenAI, do you remember when Trump announced that the government

152
00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:06,980
Ejaaz:
was taking a 10% stake in Intel, Josh?

153
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,380
Josh:
Do you remember? I do very well. Yeah. And then the price action afterwards.

154
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,800
Ejaaz:
The price action afterwards, which was the stock just surged.

155
00:10:14,140 --> 00:10:20,400
Ejaaz:
But do you remember Jensen's immediate public response to that news, like on the day itself?

156
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,260
Josh:
I'm not sure I do. I would assume it was positive in sentiment,

157
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:24,560
Josh:
but I don't remember exactly what he said.

158
00:10:24,620 --> 00:10:29,660
Ejaaz:
Oh, no. He went on official record in an interview because he was at a conference

159
00:10:29,660 --> 00:10:31,640
Ejaaz:
that day and he was asked about it where he said,

160
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:36,740
Ejaaz:
if the government tries anything like that in terms of nationalizing,

161
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:41,040
Ejaaz:
and he used the word nationalizing of NVIDIA's company, if the government forces

162
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,460
Ejaaz:
him to give over 10%, he will sue them to high haven.

163
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:49,440
Ejaaz:
So he made it very clear at the start that NVIDIA is not for sale.

164
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:55,080
Ejaaz:
And it kind of makes Intel and now AMD look a little weak in this move.

165
00:10:55,180 --> 00:10:58,540
Ejaaz:
And he's going the other way and saying, no, I'm going to take a stake in the

166
00:10:58,540 --> 00:11:00,680
Ejaaz:
AI model company because we're the big dogs here.

167
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,400
Ejaaz:
We're top of the S&P and we're going to make it.

168
00:11:04,700 --> 00:11:07,480
Ejaaz:
And do you have any thoughts before I jump into the numbers here?

169
00:11:07,580 --> 00:11:10,360
Josh:
Yeah, when you're the kingmaker, you get to decide these things.

170
00:11:10,620 --> 00:11:13,000
Josh:
I'm not sure Intel really had a choice.

171
00:11:13,220 --> 00:11:17,000
Josh:
Like Intel's choice was to slowly bleed out or get subsidized by the government

172
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,140
Josh:
and become an important company.

173
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,640
Josh:
In a world where they were like declining in relevance um so

174
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,720
Josh:
it was probably a good deal for intel but for yeah

175
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,960
Josh:
of course nvidia would never have to deal with this they have far too much leverage and

176
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,660
Josh:
if they and if anyone has a problem with it well it's too

177
00:11:31,660 --> 00:11:34,620
Josh:
damn bad no one else makes gpus as good as they do um so

178
00:11:34,620 --> 00:11:37,380
Josh:
i found that interesting one of the other things i found most interesting about this

179
00:11:37,380 --> 00:11:40,580
Josh:
deal was the actual dynamics of the deal because this

180
00:11:40,580 --> 00:11:43,840
Josh:
wasn't a traditional like we're investing in you we're getting an equity swap

181
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,860
Josh:
it uses special purpose vehicles it uses gpus as collateral there's a lot of

182
00:11:47,860 --> 00:11:51,020
Josh:
these like weird technically nuanced things about this deal that i think makes

183
00:11:51,020 --> 00:11:54,600
Josh:
it unique that i would love to walk through you guys if you have any um yeah

184
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,780
Josh:
i guess walk us through this this detailed post here on twitter yeah

185
00:11:57,780 --> 00:12:04,400
Ejaaz:
So so here's my understanding of this um nvidia didn't invest directly in xai

186
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:11,280
Ejaaz:
but they invested into an spv a special purpose uh vehicle which you know a

187
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,580
Ejaaz:
lot of these companies do to kind of like get around certain organizational

188
00:12:14,580 --> 00:12:15,840
Ejaaz:
hierarchical structures.

189
00:12:16,100 --> 00:12:21,280
Ejaaz:
And this SPV, I think in total, was raising around $20 billion.

190
00:12:22,060 --> 00:12:28,120
Ejaaz:
$12.5 billion in debt, and the rest $7.5 billion in actual equity.

191
00:12:28,580 --> 00:12:33,880
Ejaaz:
NVIDIA is putting the $2 billion of their investment in that $7.5 billion of equity.

192
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,780
Ejaaz:
So this is an equity-only thing. It's not in debt. It's going purely to XI,

193
00:12:38,860 --> 00:12:43,540
Ejaaz:
which is really interesting going a layer deeper nvidia is not actually putting

194
00:12:43,540 --> 00:12:49,040
Ejaaz:
this money directly into their hands it's coming in the form of gpus josh,

195
00:12:49,810 --> 00:12:52,990
Ejaaz:
And so if you recognize the pattern that's happening, that's what AMD was doing

196
00:12:52,990 --> 00:12:54,690
Ejaaz:
with OpenAI that we just spoke about.

197
00:12:54,870 --> 00:13:00,010
Ejaaz:
So it's kind of becoming this deal, which is laid out by this tweet over here,

198
00:13:00,130 --> 00:13:06,650
Ejaaz:
where he goes, I think we're watching the new financing model for GPU buildouts emerge.

199
00:13:06,870 --> 00:13:10,430
Ejaaz:
The funding is tied straight to the hardware. So if a project fails,

200
00:13:10,670 --> 00:13:14,690
Ejaaz:
the lenders can seize the GPUs because they hold their own value.

201
00:13:15,270 --> 00:13:20,870
Ejaaz:
So in effect, NVIDIA's chips are effectively turning into their own asset class.

202
00:13:21,490 --> 00:13:24,930
Ejaaz:
Isn't that insane? It's basically saying GPUs are the new gold.

203
00:13:25,190 --> 00:13:29,190
Ejaaz:
Like screw your equity, screw the money or any kind of collateral that you have

204
00:13:29,190 --> 00:13:32,930
Ejaaz:
or that bank lending deposit that you've taken out. I don't care.

205
00:13:33,210 --> 00:13:37,450
Ejaaz:
I want your GPUs. And if you screw me over, I'm going to recall them.

206
00:13:38,090 --> 00:13:40,510
Josh:
Yeah, this is amazing. It's like it feels like a gold standard,

207
00:13:40,750 --> 00:13:44,810
Josh:
except for GPUs. They are these very highly coveted, highly complex things that

208
00:13:44,810 --> 00:13:48,790
Josh:
are the only thing that matters in a world that is run by AGI.

209
00:13:49,170 --> 00:13:54,410
Josh:
And to me, this deal is such a fun, forward-looking way of viewing the world,

210
00:13:54,670 --> 00:13:57,390
Josh:
denominating value in GPUs versus dollars.

211
00:13:57,410 --> 00:14:01,150
Josh:
Because, I mean, we know the dollar is kind of like, we're in this inflationary

212
00:14:01,150 --> 00:14:06,130
Josh:
thing, our spending purchasing power is going down, but GPUs are the inverse of that.

213
00:14:06,270 --> 00:14:10,030
Josh:
And using these GPUs as collateral is such a fun and fascinating way of structuring the deal.

214
00:14:10,030 --> 00:14:12,950
Josh:
So why did xai do this well they kind

215
00:14:12,950 --> 00:14:16,010
Josh:
of they need a way to get more power because

216
00:14:16,010 --> 00:14:19,050
Josh:
obviously is exploding um their colossus supercomputer

217
00:14:19,050 --> 00:14:22,150
Josh:
already has 100 000 gpus and this

218
00:14:22,150 --> 00:14:27,030
Josh:
deal helps extend that in a huge way uh so nvidia wants to stay on that's the

219
00:14:27,030 --> 00:14:31,610
Josh:
top dog of ai chips especially after that deal with open ai and amd and xai

220
00:14:31,610 --> 00:14:35,550
Josh:
needs these gpus and they need more money to buy these gpus so who is the best

221
00:14:35,550 --> 00:14:39,130
Josh:
person to raise all this money from well the person who's making all the the GPUs, NVIDIA.

222
00:14:39,290 --> 00:14:41,970
Josh:
And if this deal works and if this

223
00:14:42,550 --> 00:14:47,170
Josh:
Actually plays out as described by Jensen and Elon and the whole XAI team.

224
00:14:47,470 --> 00:14:52,230
Josh:
Well, they're very quickly trending towards not only the world's first gigawatt

225
00:14:52,230 --> 00:14:56,190
Josh:
cluster, but the world's first multi-gigawatt cluster with a couple of hundred

226
00:14:56,190 --> 00:14:58,970
Josh:
coherent GPUs. And these things are happening very quickly.

227
00:14:59,170 --> 00:15:03,910
Josh:
And it was clear based on the conversation that I heard Jensen have this morning

228
00:15:03,910 --> 00:15:07,870
Josh:
that he is very bullish on the XAI team.

229
00:15:08,030 --> 00:15:11,070
Josh:
And he very strongly believes that they have all the resources to

230
00:15:11,070 --> 00:15:14,090
Josh:
do so and is willing to give them basically whatever they need

231
00:15:14,090 --> 00:15:17,070
Josh:
in order to make it a reality because the downstream effects one are

232
00:15:17,070 --> 00:15:19,790
Josh:
that um well jensen just sells a ton of

233
00:15:19,790 --> 00:15:22,830
Josh:
gpus but two um the xai

234
00:15:22,830 --> 00:15:26,090
Josh:
team is very much showcasing the full

235
00:15:26,090 --> 00:15:28,890
Josh:
capacity of nvidia the company it's like

236
00:15:28,890 --> 00:15:31,730
Josh:
if you actually have all of the

237
00:15:31,730 --> 00:15:34,770
Josh:
ability to manufacture these data centers and build them quickly well

238
00:15:34,770 --> 00:15:37,710
Josh:
this is how amazing their results can be if you use our product so it's

239
00:15:37,710 --> 00:15:40,510
Josh:
a win-win for everyone it was a really cool deal um i think

240
00:15:40,510 --> 00:15:43,390
Josh:
this is this is an exciting new paradigm where we are denominating in

241
00:15:43,390 --> 00:15:46,170
Josh:
gpus and as a result just very

242
00:15:46,170 --> 00:15:50,010
Josh:
bullish on nvidia man like through all this they seem to be in the best position

243
00:15:50,010 --> 00:15:54,070
Josh:
they have nothing but growth there is no world in which the nvidia market cap

244
00:15:54,070 --> 00:15:58,130
Josh:
does not keep going up like i i do i very much understand the 10 trillion dollar

245
00:15:58,130 --> 00:16:02,790
Josh:
uh market cap like sure maybe there's some spending bubble but long-tail effects

246
00:16:02,790 --> 00:16:06,110
Josh:
of this are huge this is a trend that is not changing for a very very long time i

247
00:16:06,110 --> 00:16:09,810
Ejaaz:
Just want to point out this is a public service announcement for all the doomers

248
00:16:09,810 --> 00:16:11,210
Ejaaz:
out there that are listening to this.

249
00:16:12,330 --> 00:16:15,950
Ejaaz:
Everyone is investing in this thing. Everyone's rolling the dice.

250
00:16:16,090 --> 00:16:17,570
Ejaaz:
Everyone's taking this big bet.

251
00:16:17,750 --> 00:16:21,930
Ejaaz:
And you're seeing the leaders of this industry, like we have on this tweet up

252
00:16:21,930 --> 00:16:24,570
Ejaaz:
here from Greg Brockman, president and co-founder of OpenAI,

253
00:16:24,970 --> 00:16:26,930
Ejaaz:
saying, we're working to build

254
00:16:26,930 --> 00:16:31,170
Ejaaz:
as much compute as we can as quickly as we can over the next few years.

255
00:16:31,570 --> 00:16:35,050
Ejaaz:
And he goes on to make the point that I think everyone is underestimating

256
00:16:35,050 --> 00:16:38,250
Ejaaz:
the demand for compute that ai will have

257
00:16:38,250 --> 00:16:41,110
Ejaaz:
so instead of all the doomers uh that are saying hey we're

258
00:16:41,110 --> 00:16:44,150
Ejaaz:
in a capex bubble you know agi hasn't emerged yet

259
00:16:44,150 --> 00:16:49,850
Ejaaz:
um the front runners the leaders of this entire show is telling us through these

260
00:16:49,850 --> 00:16:53,830
Ejaaz:
major investments in compute hardware and the deals that they're making that

261
00:16:53,830 --> 00:16:58,030
Ejaaz:
compute is necessary and they're going to roll the dice betting on this industry

262
00:16:58,030 --> 00:17:03,810
Ejaaz:
um and there's a wider point here josh which uh i'm wondering if you agree with, which is.

263
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,200
Ejaaz:
It's make or break for America at this point.

264
00:17:07,380 --> 00:17:10,280
Ejaaz:
I tweeted about this yesterday because I was just kind of like thinking about

265
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,640
Ejaaz:
this whole like America versus China thing. And, you know, we're going to have

266
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,140
Ejaaz:
a robot episode coming out tomorrow.

267
00:17:15,380 --> 00:17:20,320
Ejaaz:
And China's like, in my opinion, leading ahead over there. But it's like,

268
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,640
Ejaaz:
how does America win here?

269
00:17:22,860 --> 00:17:28,080
Ejaaz:
Like they need to take these big bets. They need to perhaps take a 10% stake

270
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:32,000
Ejaaz:
for the government and kind of like bring all manufacturing on shore and ramp

271
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:36,180
Ejaaz:
up their robotics investments and push S&P to all-time highs every single week.

272
00:17:36,180 --> 00:17:38,840
Ejaaz:
Because if they don't, we risk losing it all.

273
00:17:39,120 --> 00:17:42,860
Ejaaz:
And I think that that is just full-on startup mode for America.

274
00:17:42,860 --> 00:17:44,220
Ejaaz:
And I'm excited to see where it goes.

275
00:17:44,360 --> 00:17:47,880
Josh:
I like the idea of just turning blinders to China and not really paying attention

276
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,220
Josh:
and just keeping the focus on us in-house.

277
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:55,760
Josh:
To back in again to your $10 trillion valuation, one of the things that I've

278
00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:01,040
Josh:
just began to realize recently is the fact that basically the entire world runs on CPU architecture.

279
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,880
Josh:
Like everything is run on cpus it's like

280
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,740
Josh:
that's how we use computers that is how all the computers that

281
00:18:06,740 --> 00:18:09,740
Josh:
you look at across the world run but with the advent

282
00:18:09,740 --> 00:18:13,160
Josh:
of ai and most recently reinforcement learning and

283
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,420
Josh:
inference where much more tokens are generated or

284
00:18:16,420 --> 00:18:19,620
Josh:
required to be generated in order to give a better response there are

285
00:18:19,620 --> 00:18:24,600
Josh:
like these two forces at play where one while the natural flow of this ai innovation

286
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,840
Josh:
is leading to exponentially more tokens needed to be generated and two all those

287
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:33,580
Josh:
tokens are generated on a gpu so if you believe in the idea that ai will be

288
00:18:33,580 --> 00:18:37,040
Josh:
ambient throughout all the computing in the world then you also kind of have to believe

289
00:18:37,990 --> 00:18:41,470
Josh:
the entire CPU architecture of the world needs to flip over to GPUs.

290
00:18:41,630 --> 00:18:47,730
Josh:
And in the world that that's true, that displaces everything with the processor inside of it.

291
00:18:47,850 --> 00:18:55,190
Josh:
It is a ginormous industry, bigger than anything that we have like currently today by a long shot.

292
00:18:55,430 --> 00:19:02,050
Josh:
So to say that a company like NVIDIA still has a 2 to 2.5x left in it seems

293
00:19:02,050 --> 00:19:05,590
Josh:
very reasonable in that basis, where if you believe that AI is the future,

294
00:19:05,710 --> 00:19:08,150
Josh:
if you believe reinforcement learning and inference training,

295
00:19:08,370 --> 00:19:09,550
Ejaaz:
It kind of seems undervalued.

296
00:19:09,730 --> 00:19:12,550
Josh:
It does. On a short time scale, no one has any idea what the hell is going to

297
00:19:12,550 --> 00:19:16,550
Josh:
happen. But over a long period of time, this is very much a sticky trend.

298
00:19:16,730 --> 00:19:18,870
Josh:
And there's one company very clearly at the forefront.

299
00:19:19,070 --> 00:19:23,330
Josh:
So bullish on NVIDIA, bullish on GPUs, bullish on all these deals.

300
00:19:23,550 --> 00:19:28,850
Ejaaz:
Don't forget NVIDIA started off as a gaming GPU, gaming hardware company.

301
00:19:29,070 --> 00:19:31,530
Josh:
That's how we know about them. Because, dude, I'm a freaking...

302
00:19:31,530 --> 00:19:33,810
Josh:
I loved gaming. I built my own custom PC.

303
00:19:33,890 --> 00:19:35,150
Ejaaz:
Tell us the law. Tell us the law.

304
00:19:35,230 --> 00:19:38,070
Josh:
Josh. Well, I used to. i gamed all the time and i built a custom

305
00:19:38,070 --> 00:19:40,750
Josh:
pc to play games on and the thing that

306
00:19:40,750 --> 00:19:43,430
Josh:
you bought was the nvidia gpus and i would

307
00:19:43,430 --> 00:19:46,810
Josh:
always just buy the newest nvidia gpu and then eventually well when

308
00:19:46,810 --> 00:19:49,550
Josh:
ethereum came around they started being used for for like

309
00:19:49,550 --> 00:19:52,410
Josh:
ethereum mining you could buy some gpus for that and then

310
00:19:52,410 --> 00:19:56,170
Josh:
eventually it kind of pivoted to back to gaming where these

311
00:19:56,170 --> 00:19:59,290
Josh:
things would sell out instantly so i used to do like sneaker reselling

312
00:19:59,290 --> 00:20:02,050
Josh:
and reselling bots you would try to buy the gpus to

313
00:20:02,050 --> 00:20:05,370
Josh:
resell them because they were so rare and so difficult to get um and

314
00:20:05,370 --> 00:20:08,210
Josh:
now it's like it's kind of leveled

315
00:20:08,210 --> 00:20:11,230
Josh:
up from like the gamers to the miners to like

316
00:20:11,230 --> 00:20:15,130
Josh:
the computer nerds to like the largest superpowers in the world and now everyone

317
00:20:15,130 --> 00:20:19,770
Josh:
wants the gpu so listen i'm not saying actually i am saying that these nerdy

318
00:20:19,770 --> 00:20:22,270
Josh:
gamers like what they're doing on the weekends you really got to pay attention

319
00:20:22,270 --> 00:20:27,070
Josh:
to it because they are ahead of the trend sometimes so early that it seems indistinguishable

320
00:20:27,070 --> 00:20:30,190
Josh:
from like a stupid toy, but they were very much right.

321
00:20:30,490 --> 00:20:35,370
Josh:
I have had NVIDIA GPUs for well over a decade and I probably should have used

322
00:20:35,370 --> 00:20:38,390
Josh:
that as signal to buy some more stock because my God, what an incredible company.

323
00:20:38,710 --> 00:20:42,570
Ejaaz:
Jensen Huang is on a legendary run and the computer nerds are winning.

324
00:20:42,750 --> 00:20:48,790
Ejaaz:
What a world my 13-year-old self would never believe in if I had told him this now.

325
00:20:49,790 --> 00:20:53,390
Ejaaz:
Okay, so Josh, we have a few more items to cover.

326
00:20:53,690 --> 00:20:57,830
Ejaaz:
Let's get through it. what one tiny item is open

327
00:20:57,830 --> 00:21:02,550
Ejaaz:
ai had a pretty big week and when i say big week i i actually mean major week

328
00:21:02,550 --> 00:21:06,730
Ejaaz:
and and what other week is not major for open ai recently um check out these

329
00:21:06,730 --> 00:21:15,830
Ejaaz:
stats they announced 800 million weekly chat gpt users josh this was 500 million,

330
00:21:17,090 --> 00:21:18,050
Ejaaz:
four months ago.

331
00:21:18,310 --> 00:21:22,090
Josh:
Wait, Ejaz, I pulled some fun stats about this 800 million weekly active users number.

332
00:21:22,250 --> 00:21:26,430
Josh:
So that means one in every 10 people on earth is using their product every week.

333
00:21:26,810 --> 00:21:32,970
Josh:
If users were a country, it would be the third largest nation on earth behind only China and India.

334
00:21:33,470 --> 00:21:38,610
Josh:
You can fill 8,000 Super Bowls every week with your audience and still have

335
00:21:38,610 --> 00:21:39,430
Josh:
people waiting outside.

336
00:21:39,770 --> 00:21:43,410
Josh:
And every minute, 79,000 people are using it.

337
00:21:43,470 --> 00:21:46,430
Josh:
That's more than an entire football stadium logging in every

338
00:21:46,430 --> 00:21:49,910
Josh:
60 seconds so this is like a outrageous

339
00:21:49,910 --> 00:21:53,430
Josh:
amount of weekly active users and weekly should

340
00:21:53,430 --> 00:21:58,250
Josh:
not be confused with monthly active users which i'm sure is far more where they

341
00:21:58,250 --> 00:22:02,630
Josh:
they have to be gradually approaching among the largest user bases in the world

342
00:22:02,630 --> 00:22:06,670
Josh:
i guess maybe behind meta i'm not even sure who else would be up in that category

343
00:22:06,670 --> 00:22:12,150
Josh:
but this is a tremendously large number to do so and not that long of a time period and

344
00:22:12,150 --> 00:22:17,010
Ejaaz:
I think the other major number to pay attention to here is the 4 million developers.

345
00:22:17,770 --> 00:22:24,070
Ejaaz:
Now, one thing to be wary of is your product is only as good as your users say

346
00:22:24,070 --> 00:22:29,110
Ejaaz:
it is, but your product only gets better as much as your developers have access

347
00:22:29,110 --> 00:22:32,150
Ejaaz:
to it, as much as your developers want to build on it.

348
00:22:32,390 --> 00:22:36,850
Ejaaz:
Having 4 million developers focusing on one singular product,

349
00:22:36,990 --> 00:22:39,890
Ejaaz:
which has pretty much been ChatGPT up until this announcement,

350
00:22:40,030 --> 00:22:43,150
Ejaaz:
which we're seeing on the screen, which is from their OpenAI Dev Day this week,

351
00:22:43,150 --> 00:22:45,890
Ejaaz:
is absolutely insane and we have

352
00:22:45,890 --> 00:22:49,890
Ejaaz:
an entire episode josh and i covered this immediately after the stream we were

353
00:22:49,890 --> 00:22:54,230
Ejaaz:
one of the first uh brands to put out an episode on this go and check it out

354
00:22:54,230 --> 00:22:57,690
Ejaaz:
it's on our youtube page spotify or wherever you listen to stuff um but one

355
00:22:57,690 --> 00:22:59,170
Ejaaz:
of my favorite takeaways from

356
00:22:59,170 --> 00:23:04,270
Ejaaz:
this josh was the uh apps sdk um do you remember this this is basically,

357
00:23:04,870 --> 00:23:10,590
Ejaaz:
a new upgrade, which will allow you to chat with apps in your chat GPT.

358
00:23:11,410 --> 00:23:15,370
Ejaaz:
And whilst we've spoken about this already, and I've given you my thoughts,

359
00:23:15,690 --> 00:23:19,870
Ejaaz:
I had a really interesting conversation with my girlfriend yesterday,

360
00:23:20,030 --> 00:23:22,170
Ejaaz:
which was she was like, what do you mean you could chat to apps?

361
00:23:22,230 --> 00:23:23,390
Ejaaz:
And I walked her through the process.

362
00:23:23,530 --> 00:23:27,010
Ejaaz:
I said, like, well, remember how we're kind of like looking at potentially new

363
00:23:27,010 --> 00:23:29,810
Ejaaz:
places to move to in America or around the world?

364
00:23:29,970 --> 00:23:32,890
Ejaaz:
And you know how you usually type in a prompt and you're like hey like

365
00:23:32,890 --> 00:23:35,950
Ejaaz:
where do i want to live like uh tell me the top places or

366
00:23:35,950 --> 00:23:38,970
Ejaaz:
neighborhoods in this city and then she's like yeah well

367
00:23:38,970 --> 00:23:41,570
Ejaaz:
now you can say um what are some of

368
00:23:41,570 --> 00:23:44,490
Ejaaz:
the top listings for a home to rent or buy there

369
00:23:44,490 --> 00:23:48,650
Ejaaz:
and it taps into zillow and then you could say well i want to set up viewings

370
00:23:48,650 --> 00:23:52,870
Ejaaz:
for these uh places i'm gonna visit there next week and they're like cool do

371
00:23:52,870 --> 00:23:55,910
Ejaaz:
you want me to book a flight for you do you want me to book um the bookings

372
00:23:55,910 --> 00:23:59,710
Ejaaz:
for the listings for you let me give access to your calendar and it does all

373
00:23:59,710 --> 00:24:01,830
Ejaaz:
of these things for it makes your life easier.

374
00:24:02,730 --> 00:24:08,450
Ejaaz:
But the thought that I had here, Josh, was this is a completely new way for

375
00:24:08,450 --> 00:24:12,970
Ejaaz:
the app builders themselves to interact with this new paradigm.

376
00:24:13,270 --> 00:24:17,330
Ejaaz:
What I mean by that is your app now no longer caters to humans.

377
00:24:17,690 --> 00:24:21,770
Ejaaz:
It caters to these AI models. It caters to these AI agents.

378
00:24:21,950 --> 00:24:27,850
Ejaaz:
And I think that that is not too dissimilar from brands going from brick and

379
00:24:27,850 --> 00:24:30,970
Ejaaz:
mortar physical stores where they had to care about location.

380
00:24:31,190 --> 00:24:35,250
Ejaaz:
They had to care about foot traffic. They had to care about where they position

381
00:24:35,250 --> 00:24:41,010
Ejaaz:
their products when people walked in to online e-commerce, where suddenly people

382
00:24:41,010 --> 00:24:46,130
Ejaaz:
had to worry about SEO and becoming number one in Google's search page and search rankings.

383
00:24:46,450 --> 00:24:50,410
Ejaaz:
So in my opinion, this is like another jump. It's another jump to a different

384
00:24:50,410 --> 00:24:54,730
Ejaaz:
medium, which people are figuring out in real time. And I don't think they've prepped for.

385
00:24:54,970 --> 00:24:58,030
Ejaaz:
And that was just my takeaway that I had to share because i was like oh my god

386
00:24:58,030 --> 00:25:00,970
Ejaaz:
like this is completely like paradigm shifting.

387
00:25:00,970 --> 00:25:03,950
Josh:
Yeah they're eating the world i think we see similar dynamics between

388
00:25:03,950 --> 00:25:06,830
Josh:
open ai and nvidia in the sense that they have

389
00:25:06,830 --> 00:25:09,750
Josh:
what everyone wants which is one case is gpus but

390
00:25:09,750 --> 00:25:13,430
Josh:
the other case is users and if you have 800 million weekly active users and

391
00:25:13,430 --> 00:25:16,790
Josh:
you have an opportunity to plug in to that user flow and actually add value

392
00:25:16,790 --> 00:25:21,030
Josh:
to the user experience that's a no-brainer and it is very clear that open ai

393
00:25:21,030 --> 00:25:27,210
Josh:
is now just trying to bring everyone to them and serve as an aggregator to the outside world.

394
00:25:27,410 --> 00:25:32,310
Josh:
And I think that's great because they're definitely the best equipped to actually do that.

395
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,680
Josh:
Um, so yeah, that, that was an interesting little thing this week.

396
00:25:35,780 --> 00:25:38,700
Josh:
Again, for people who don't know, um, or who aren't up to date,

397
00:25:38,860 --> 00:25:40,280
Josh:
we did drop the episode yesterday.

398
00:25:40,420 --> 00:25:44,320
Josh:
So check it out. Do you want to talk about Sora here? Sora update number one? I see a Sam on blog post.

399
00:25:44,620 --> 00:25:49,820
Ejaaz:
I would love to. So Sora update number one, but it is also officially the number

400
00:25:49,820 --> 00:25:51,840
Ejaaz:
one app in the app store, Josh.

401
00:25:52,260 --> 00:25:59,840
Ejaaz:
Um, so this, this week or a week ago, uh, OpenAI announced their new text to

402
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,020
Ejaaz:
video model, but they did it with a twist.

403
00:26:02,020 --> 00:26:06,200
Ejaaz:
They also announced a brand new social media platform which is kind of like

404
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:11,360
Ejaaz:
tiktok but every single video is ai generated josh and i kind of hated on it

405
00:26:11,360 --> 00:26:15,580
Ejaaz:
and i kind of rounded off the episode with maybe this might work maybe it won't

406
00:26:15,580 --> 00:26:20,800
Ejaaz:
and i have to say i've ended up loving it since um i've i've created a sorry i'll have.

407
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,340
Josh:
You know why i've got to tell me why

408
00:26:22,340 --> 00:26:25,880
Ejaaz:
Okay i'll tell you why i'll tell you why and uh i don't

409
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,120
Ejaaz:
know if i'm too proud to announce why but i'll say it anyway um

410
00:26:29,120 --> 00:26:31,980
Ejaaz:
i like seeing myself feature in all these

411
00:26:31,980 --> 00:26:34,760
Ejaaz:
random fantasies or ideas that i can come up with

412
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,560
Ejaaz:
but but but more so i like doing

413
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:44,160
Ejaaz:
it with my friends i can cameo uh david hoffman i can cameo you in a fun little

414
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,260
Ejaaz:
video if i have a fun little idea and share it with you and i i have to say

415
00:26:47,260 --> 00:26:51,380
Ejaaz:
i'm not doing it with the idea of like josh look how real this is wouldn't it

416
00:26:51,380 --> 00:26:54,420
Ejaaz:
be cool i'm not like sending you a hint saying like i wish we could do this

417
00:26:54,420 --> 00:26:56,160
Ejaaz:
it's more like isn't this a funny meme.

418
00:26:56,580 --> 00:26:59,000
Ejaaz:
Like, look at us joking around. You and I would never do this.

419
00:26:59,100 --> 00:27:03,900
Ejaaz:
And so I guess that novelty hasn't worn off for me and hasn't worn off for a

420
00:27:03,900 --> 00:27:04,960
Ejaaz:
heck ton of other people.

421
00:27:05,340 --> 00:27:07,320
Ejaaz:
Reaching number one in the app store is no joke.

422
00:27:08,020 --> 00:27:11,600
Josh:
Yeah, I think, I mean, for me, I haven't even opened up the app in like two or three days.

423
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:16,460
Josh:
So it has lost the stickiness for me. But I think I share your enthusiasm in

424
00:27:16,460 --> 00:27:20,580
Josh:
the sense that, again, this is a company with 800 million active users that

425
00:27:20,580 --> 00:27:24,320
Josh:
just dropped a social media application on a whim just to test things.

426
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,140
Josh:
And I really, I admire that about Sam and the OpenAI team as their willingness

427
00:27:28,140 --> 00:27:32,000
Josh:
to experiment and to increasingly break down borders.

428
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:36,060
Josh:
I mean, the copyright thing was one of them where you can make your videos with

429
00:27:36,060 --> 00:27:39,800
Josh:
like Pokemon or SpongeBob or these copyrighted characters and their willingness

430
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,700
Josh:
to kind of bend the rules a little bit in terms of shipping faster and innovating faster.

431
00:27:43,820 --> 00:27:48,020
Josh:
I really admire. So I expect this to be a directional trend with OpenAI where

432
00:27:48,020 --> 00:27:51,100
Josh:
we see a lot of new technology applications,

433
00:27:51,100 --> 00:27:54,720
Josh:
product just being launched and just seeing which ones stick which ones don't

434
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:59,240
Josh:
but using them as these platforms to kind of complete the development circle

435
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,960
Josh:
where new technology pair it with a product release the product and just see

436
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,480
Josh:
what happens and Sora overwhelming success I mean number one in the app store

437
00:28:07,380 --> 00:28:11,320
Josh:
All of this, like all of these viral videos that I'm seeing on Instagram and

438
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,360
Josh:
TikTok and everything like it, it's a really big deal.

439
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,880
Ejaaz:
So most of the virality is not happening on Sora though, right?

440
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:22,280
Ejaaz:
It's happening on like Instagram and TikTok. I've seen a million Sora videos

441
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,500
Ejaaz:
that have got like millions of likes and hundreds of millions of views,

442
00:28:25,620 --> 00:28:29,320
Ejaaz:
not on the actual Sora app. So that's probably like a loop that they need to tie in.

443
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,600
Ejaaz:
But I have to push back on you a little bit, Josh, because whilst they were

444
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:39,440
Ejaaz:
brave with going down the, hey, we're going to infringe on a bunch of copyright

445
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,640
Ejaaz:
and you can sue us or opt out or whatever.

446
00:28:42,260 --> 00:28:45,040
Ejaaz:
They've kind of been backtracking on that this week as well.

447
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,100
Ejaaz:
They've basically been removing a bunch of copyrighted material.

448
00:28:49,500 --> 00:28:53,360
Ejaaz:
And it's resulted in an experience where when people are trying to create videos,

449
00:28:53,460 --> 00:28:56,400
Ejaaz:
and I've seen this myself, you just get an error message saying,

450
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,840
Ejaaz:
sorry, we can't create that video. It's been prohibited.

451
00:29:00,140 --> 00:29:05,400
Ejaaz:
And after that happens two to three times i'm kind of disenchanted i'm disincentivized

452
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,720
Ejaaz:
to create a video because i'm like well what can i create the whole point of

453
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:12,820
Ejaaz:
me coming here is uh me creating a video with um super mario brothers and running

454
00:29:12,820 --> 00:29:16,100
Ejaaz:
in the game with them right and now i can't do that so so what's the point.

455
00:29:16,100 --> 00:29:18,880
Josh:
Yeah i will say the benefit of doing

456
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,400
Josh:
that five days in versus on day zero is

457
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,620
Josh:
this like huge astronomical difference because we

458
00:29:25,620 --> 00:29:28,340
Josh:
did get those five days of virality it did get to number one i

459
00:29:28,340 --> 00:29:31,240
Josh:
did see in in the time that i was interested in

460
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,880
Josh:
the application it was fantastic because it had none of the

461
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,680
Josh:
guy rails so even though they are adding them retroactively i

462
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,400
Josh:
do like the fact that they were able to do that on day five instead of

463
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,400
Josh:
day zero and i think that may have been the difference between number

464
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,260
Josh:
one in the app store and just like a vibes like meta

465
00:29:46,260 --> 00:29:49,020
Josh:
experiment where it's just it's just lame off the bat like you

466
00:29:49,020 --> 00:29:51,860
Josh:
never even get a chance to try the unhinged version at least

467
00:29:51,860 --> 00:29:54,620
Josh:
we got a little taste of the unhinged version and then also just one

468
00:29:54,620 --> 00:29:57,840
Josh:
little comment for the people who made it to the end of our last episode i

469
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,740
Josh:
did drop some sort of two codes for the people who commented i gave

470
00:30:00,740 --> 00:30:04,060
Josh:
you all of them i have none left so he just if you have any more please

471
00:30:04,060 --> 00:30:06,960
Josh:
drop them for the nice people um but thank

472
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,900
Josh:
you for for listening and replying all of mine got taken i

473
00:30:09,900 --> 00:30:12,300
Josh:
was like doing a little ponzi scheme with my friends where i would invite one

474
00:30:12,300 --> 00:30:16,480
Josh:
and then take the four invites so i could drop more um i'm out i got nothing

475
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,440
Josh:
left but thank you for commenting anyway um and we'll try to get more we'll

476
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,660
Josh:
try to refill them because i want to give the people who listen a little reward

477
00:30:23,660 --> 00:30:28,220
Josh:
especially for those that make it to the end so thank you again yeah but yeah yeah um

478
00:30:28,220 --> 00:30:30,960
Ejaaz:
Yeah as josh mentioned we are working with open

479
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,320
Ejaaz:
ai to get you a bunch of codes for limitless listeners

480
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,300
Ejaaz:
you guys have been the most enthusiastic ever so we have

481
00:30:37,300 --> 00:30:40,740
Ejaaz:
got you there all right josh apple is potentially

482
00:30:40,740 --> 00:30:43,860
Ejaaz:
shelving the development of their cheaper

483
00:30:43,860 --> 00:30:46,760
Ejaaz:
lighter vision pro revamp called the vision

484
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:51,380
Ejaaz:
air because they might want to create a bunch of spectacles you know some glasses

485
00:30:51,380 --> 00:30:57,260
Ejaaz:
that do ai stuff similar to metaglasses and maybe even similar to what um open

486
00:30:57,260 --> 00:31:00,780
Ejaaz:
air might release what do you have to say to that because i got a pretty smug

487
00:31:00,780 --> 00:31:05,840
Ejaaz:
face uh on my i've got a pretty smug look on my face right now because i thought

488
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:06,680
Ejaaz:
vision pro was the future

489
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,560
Ejaaz:
I thought they were going to create something cool new and now they're going to be making glasses.

490
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,700
Josh:
I have a couple of points to this. The first point I want to make is about the

491
00:31:12,700 --> 00:31:14,040
Josh:
glasses that exist in the market,

492
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,400
Josh:
particularly regarding yours that you ordered a couple of weeks ago.

493
00:31:16,420 --> 00:31:18,940
Josh:
Where are they? Where are those MetaQuest glasses? They're not here.

494
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,060
Josh:
Yeah. Why are they not here? They haven't even shipped the damn product.

495
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:23,440
Josh:
No one could get the freaking thing.

496
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,760
Josh:
They don't work. They suck. They're not delivering them. They're not available.

497
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,540
Josh:
There's no prescriptions available. If you have glasses, you literally cannot

498
00:31:30,540 --> 00:31:32,700
Josh:
wear them because they do not support a lot of prescriptions.

499
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,860
Josh:
It's just like this disaster of a release. It's not a real product.

500
00:31:35,900 --> 00:31:40,900
Ejaaz:
I'm looking at my email. right now and it still says hasn't been it's not even

501
00:31:40,900 --> 00:31:42,300
Ejaaz:
out for delivery garbage.

502
00:31:42,300 --> 00:31:46,200
Josh:
I'm being screwed oh my god see listen i

503
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,580
Josh:
hate saying i told you so but you know maybe i told you so anyways

504
00:31:49,580 --> 00:31:52,160
Josh:
one day um there is no serious player in the

505
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,000
Josh:
glasses market right now so that is one reason

506
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,020
Josh:
why um i think there's a lot of things happening at apple that

507
00:31:58,020 --> 00:32:00,860
Josh:
are probably contributing to this one of them one of the most important ones actually

508
00:32:00,860 --> 00:32:03,940
Josh:
is the leadership shake-up that we're seeing now there's been a lot of executives

509
00:32:03,940 --> 00:32:07,980
Josh:
in the apple c-suite that have been around for decades multiple decades plus

510
00:32:07,980 --> 00:32:11,500
Josh:
and a lot of them are either leaving or restructuring or changing where they're

511
00:32:11,500 --> 00:32:15,000
Josh:
going to be tim cook is making it clear that um he is starting to transition

512
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:19,080
Josh:
out of the ceo spot there will be the new i think he's the chief of product

513
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:20,220
Josh:
the chief product engineer john

514
00:32:20,980 --> 00:32:25,000
Josh:
terminus john termis uh yeah awesome they've recently started giving a lot of

515
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,960
Josh:
publicity he's likely to step into the ceo slot i'm hoping he has a role in

516
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:33,660
Josh:
strategic changes in the company because OpenAI is very much, or oh my God, OpenAI,

517
00:32:34,060 --> 00:32:38,320
Josh:
Tim Cook is very much an operator. He's a business operator.

518
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:42,680
Josh:
He ran Apple from like whatever small market cap they were to this astronomical

519
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,560
Josh:
giant they are today. But as a result, product innovation suffered.

520
00:32:45,860 --> 00:32:49,080
Josh:
So with a new product leader at the forefront leaving this company,

521
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,240
Josh:
I'm hopeful that they will start to take their products much more seriously.

522
00:32:52,460 --> 00:32:54,920
Josh:
And perhaps the glasses are a pivot to that.

523
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,980
Josh:
I think the Vision Pro, and I think a lot of people kind of think that is a

524
00:32:58,980 --> 00:33:00,960
Josh:
stepping stone towards the glasses form factor.

525
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,380
Josh:
Switching from improving the Vision Pro to just going right for the glasses,

526
00:33:05,980 --> 00:33:09,600
Josh:
I would like to believe means that they have just kind of innovated a little

527
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,620
Josh:
faster than they initially intended.

528
00:33:12,140 --> 00:33:15,920
Josh:
We saw the technology get micro-sized for the iPhone Air.

529
00:33:16,220 --> 00:33:20,680
Josh:
I think that's a really good proof of concept. We saw the really small displays,

530
00:33:20,900 --> 00:33:22,280
Josh:
all the compute being left in the plateau.

531
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,360
Josh:
It's this like really elegant, beautiful device. They stick down in glasses.

532
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:26,200
Josh:
They have a killer product.

533
00:33:26,340 --> 00:33:30,500
Josh:
I think this is the right move. I'm a little disappointed because man the Vision

534
00:33:30,500 --> 00:33:34,440
Josh:
Pros are fantastic I mean look at this photo they're amazing they work so well

535
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,880
Josh:
I don't have a pair no because they were $3,500 it's a lot of money to justify

536
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:39,380
Josh:
something I won't use that much

537
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,660
Josh:
because there's just again there's no ecosystem developer support but as a product

538
00:33:43,660 --> 00:33:45,520
Josh:
they're amazing so it makes me sad that

539
00:33:45,940 --> 00:33:49,200
Josh:
We're not getting a ton of innovation on that front, but I'm hopeful this means

540
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:50,500
Josh:
that the glasses will come sooner.

541
00:33:50,700 --> 00:33:54,660
Josh:
And when Apple delivers glasses, Ejaz, I promise you, they will be actually good.

542
00:33:54,780 --> 00:33:58,080
Josh:
And they will deliver them on time, and they will have high-resolution displays,

543
00:33:58,180 --> 00:34:02,420
Josh:
and they will have a lot of utility in an ecosystem that you actually participate

544
00:34:02,420 --> 00:34:05,180
Josh:
in instead of this weird siloed meta thing.

545
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:10,300
Ejaaz:
And it'll just come out in 2030 or 2035, maybe. Yeah, we'll just have to wait a decade.

546
00:34:10,580 --> 00:34:14,760
Josh:
It'll be a long time. So don't expect glasses anytime soon. But in the meantime,

547
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,440
Josh:
we will have hardware from OpenAI that we can actually enjoy because we'll have

548
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:22,100
Josh:
some good hardware on the AI front, which I think will hopefully be able to

549
00:34:22,100 --> 00:34:24,360
Josh:
hold us over until our super cool glasses get released.

550
00:34:24,940 --> 00:34:28,540
Josh:
But I think that's probably everything, right? Unless you got more beef,

551
00:34:28,660 --> 00:34:30,220
Josh:
unless you want to find some more about Apple.

552
00:34:30,220 --> 00:34:36,120
Ejaaz:
No, no, no, no. I largely agree with your point of view. I just have been bearish

553
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:37,280
Ejaaz:
at the way that they've been delivering.

554
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:41,180
Ejaaz:
I hope this new leadership change actually happens, Josh. and if they're putting

555
00:34:41,180 --> 00:34:46,240
Ejaaz:
a hardware guy at the helm, that is extremely bullish because that means he's

556
00:34:46,240 --> 00:34:49,560
Ejaaz:
going to come up with a new hardware product and he's probably not going to

557
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,300
Ejaaz:
be another, it's probably not going to be another iPhone.

558
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,740
Ejaaz:
It's probably going to be something major. He wants to put his foot down,

559
00:34:54,240 --> 00:34:56,520
Ejaaz:
stamp his kind of like legacy. So I'm excited about that.

560
00:34:56,620 --> 00:35:00,440
Ejaaz:
But that is it for this week's roundup episode, folks.

561
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:05,140
Ejaaz:
As Josh mentioned, the thing that we're giving out are Sora codes.

562
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:09,180
Ejaaz:
Josh may not have many right now, but he will have plenty in about two days

563
00:35:09,180 --> 00:35:13,140
Ejaaz:
time when I get a response from the OpenAI folks, Josh. That is the latest update, by the way.

564
00:35:13,140 --> 00:35:15,480
Josh:
Okay, all right. Because I was going to say, don't promise the people we can't

565
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,200
Josh:
give, but we do have insider info.

566
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:23,020
Ejaaz:
We do have insider info. So this week, Josh, what should we incentivize listeners

567
00:35:23,020 --> 00:35:26,060
Ejaaz:
to do to get an invite code? You get to pick this week.

568
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,440
Josh:
Well, they could just say that they made it to the end of it.

569
00:35:29,580 --> 00:35:30,980
Josh:
Like, do you want to give them a keyword or something? Like,

570
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,440
Josh:
if you're still watching this episode, you deserve everything.

571
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,820
Josh:
The fact that you're stuck with us for like almost 40 minutes,

572
00:35:35,940 --> 00:35:38,740
Josh:
