1
00:00:00,020 --> 00:00:04,020
Josh:
If you were alive in 2008, chances are you remember the market crashing,

2
00:00:04,340 --> 00:00:08,120
Josh:
a catastrophic failure of the housing market that bled into the entire economy,

3
00:00:08,120 --> 00:00:09,780
Josh:
and it wiped out a lot of entities.

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,920
Josh:
And if you'll remember, there was one person in particular who profited a tremendous

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,620
Josh:
amount off of this happening, and his name is Michael Burry. He made $100 million.

6
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:23,140
Josh:
Personally, collectively, he made a billion dollars off of shorting this market crash.

7
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,660
Josh:
He saw what was right early, and he doubled down on it, and he made a killing.

8
00:00:26,660 --> 00:00:30,700
Josh:
In fact, so much so that it became a movie that you've probably seen named The Big Short.

9
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:35,740
Josh:
Now, Michael Berry recently has published a new position in recent SEC filings that we uncovered.

10
00:00:36,020 --> 00:00:39,260
Josh:
And Ejaz has been all over this over the last couple of weeks,

11
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,480
Josh:
tracking the positions, trying to understand why he's making these things.

12
00:00:42,540 --> 00:00:46,760
Josh:
And if this bet is correct in predicting the next big bubble to pop,

13
00:00:46,860 --> 00:00:48,620
Josh:
which is seeming to be AI.

14
00:00:48,860 --> 00:00:52,020
Josh:
So he predicted the housing bubble in 08. He made a billion dollars.

15
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:57,840
Josh:
He's predicting another bubble in 2025. five, is he going to make another billion dollars, EJS?

16
00:00:58,060 --> 00:01:01,880
Ejaaz:
The short answer is, I don't think he will. I think he's going to get blown out.

17
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:09,440
Ejaaz:
So Michael Burry is back. He is short around $300 million worth of Nvidia shares.

18
00:01:09,580 --> 00:01:13,480
Ejaaz:
So he's shorting, at this point, the richest, wealthiest company in the world.

19
00:01:13,620 --> 00:01:17,200
Ejaaz:
And that is a big sign, basically saying that I think the air bubble is popping.

20
00:01:17,380 --> 00:01:18,980
Ejaaz:
So the question is, is it?

21
00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:24,320
Ejaaz:
Let's go through his thesis, Josh. I'm going to simplify his post here.

22
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,360
Ejaaz:
Which is basically GPUs run the AI world, right?

23
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:34,400
Ejaaz:
Trillions of dollars have been spent by Frontier AI labs collectively to train state-of-the-art AI.

24
00:01:34,940 --> 00:01:38,880
Ejaaz:
But the thing with these GPUs, Josh, is that they have a lifespan,

25
00:01:39,180 --> 00:01:41,020
Ejaaz:
right? They don't last forever, right?

26
00:01:41,260 --> 00:01:44,620
Ejaaz:
And he estimates that the top Frontier labs.

27
00:01:46,180 --> 00:01:50,720
Ejaaz:
Overestimating or artificially boosting the lifespan of the GPUs that they purchase.

28
00:01:50,860 --> 00:01:53,560
Ejaaz:
And you might be like, well, that sounds boring. Why is that interesting?

29
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,080
Ejaaz:
Well, the thing is, if you have assets on your balance sheet,

30
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,180
Ejaaz:
that factors into your stock price.

31
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,920
Ejaaz:
So the point that he's making is all these big companies are artificially boosting

32
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,700
Ejaaz:
the lifespan of the GPUs that they've purchased so that it inflates their stock price.

33
00:02:08,900 --> 00:02:11,840
Ejaaz:
And therefore, the real stock price is actually a lot lower.

34
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,200
Ejaaz:
In fact, he says at the bottom of this tweet, by 2028, Oracle will overstate

35
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,900
Ejaaz:
earnings by 26.9%, Meta by 20%, etc.

36
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:25,800
Ejaaz:
And so his big short, Josh, is on the behemoth that is supplying all these Frontier

37
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,720
Ejaaz:
AI labs, NVIDIA, saying that when the bubble pops, and he thinks the bubble's

38
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:34,240
Ejaaz:
going to pop now, he will make a heck of a lot of money on this trade.

39
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,200
Josh:
So is he saying the bubble's going to pop now, or is it going to pop in 2028?

40
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,540
Josh:
Because he's referencing those numbers in 2028.

41
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:44,280
Josh:
So I'm kind of curious how he's framing this is this like because i'm now i'm

42
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,980
Josh:
thinking about our positions um is this something that he predicts is going

43
00:02:47,980 --> 00:02:51,620
Josh:
to happen in 2028 or is this more of a short timescale position if

44
00:02:51,620 --> 00:02:55,200
Ejaaz:
We remember from his original short i think he held a position for about a year,

45
00:02:56,290 --> 00:03:00,390
Ejaaz:
Or at least like the better part of a year. So I think he probably estimates

46
00:03:00,390 --> 00:03:02,890
Ejaaz:
that it's going to happen sometime within that time frame.

47
00:03:03,170 --> 00:03:08,210
Ejaaz:
But I have more evidence as to like why he might be thinking that the bubble is bursting.

48
00:03:08,730 --> 00:03:11,150
Ejaaz:
Have you heard of what a neocloud is, Josh?

49
00:03:12,410 --> 00:03:16,790
Josh:
The name is familiar, but I don't understand quite what that means. So please fill me in.

50
00:03:17,050 --> 00:03:21,090
Ejaaz:
Okay, so think of like AWS or any of these other typical cloud providers.

51
00:03:21,090 --> 00:03:27,110
Ejaaz:
But they're specifically focused on providing GPUs and data center pipelines for you.

52
00:03:27,530 --> 00:03:31,170
Ejaaz:
So think of like an AWS just for AI compute. That makes sense?

53
00:03:31,810 --> 00:03:38,670
Ejaaz:
And so what he did was he looked at the major NeoCloud providers and he looked

54
00:03:38,670 --> 00:03:43,630
Ejaaz:
at their stock prices over the last week, Josh, and they were down.

55
00:03:43,670 --> 00:03:48,670
Ejaaz:
So he upped his position and was like, okay, this is the bubble bursting. I'm gonna lay my claim.

56
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,500
Ejaaz:
There's an issue with this thesis, Josh. I think he's dead wrong.

57
00:03:53,500 --> 00:03:56,760
Ejaaz:
And I'm about to walk you through four reasons why he's wrong.

58
00:03:57,220 --> 00:03:59,540
Josh:
Okay. So then just to kind of like wrap my head around this,

59
00:03:59,660 --> 00:04:02,700
Josh:
the NeoClouds are kind of infrastructure for people who don't want to build

60
00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:03,500
Josh:
their own infrastructure.

61
00:04:03,900 --> 00:04:06,480
Josh:
Kind of like you described AWS. If you want to get a data center,

62
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,760
Josh:
but you don't want to build a data center, you offload that responsibility to a NeoCloud.

63
00:04:10,020 --> 00:04:14,960
Josh:
And he thinks that the cost that these companies are marking down these NeoCloud

64
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,060
Josh:
prices at, particularly the GPUs is much higher because the depreciation happens

65
00:04:19,060 --> 00:04:21,740
Josh:
on a shorter timescale than the companies are writing off.

66
00:04:22,100 --> 00:04:28,060
Ejaaz:
Correct. And NeoClouds is one part of the picture, but it's a great example

67
00:04:28,060 --> 00:04:33,720
Ejaaz:
to lead with because so many frontier AI labs like Microsoft OpenAI actually

68
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,240
Ejaaz:
pay these NeoClouds billions of dollars.

69
00:04:36,420 --> 00:04:40,320
Ejaaz:
Like Microsoft just signed a $19 billion contract with a NeoCloud provider called

70
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,220
Ejaaz:
Nebius, which kind of sent its stock price going up.

71
00:04:43,340 --> 00:04:46,240
Ejaaz:
We talked about it on a previous episode. so like it's a

72
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,420
Ejaaz:
good example to kind of like lead with but the

73
00:04:49,420 --> 00:04:52,360
Ejaaz:
take here is that these neoclouds are

74
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:57,840
Ejaaz:
basically as you said overestimating the life cycle of these gpus and therefore

75
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:02,300
Ejaaz:
they are wrong except that's not the case at all and i present to you my first

76
00:05:02,300 --> 00:05:06,500
Ejaaz:
counter thesis which is he's wrong about the two to three year depreciation

77
00:05:06,500 --> 00:05:11,460
Ejaaz:
cycle it's actually more like five to six in some cases even eight years.

78
00:05:11,580 --> 00:05:15,180
Ejaaz:
These GPUs are used for more than just training AI models.

79
00:05:15,380 --> 00:05:19,740
Ejaaz:
They are used for inference, and they're sometimes used just for general queries

80
00:05:19,740 --> 00:05:21,900
Ejaaz:
and distribution for these AI models, right?

81
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,840
Ejaaz:
But the most staggering kind of example comes from the top doc,

82
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,380
Ejaaz:
the top neocloud called CoreWeave, who kind of shows the opposite to what Michael

83
00:05:31,380 --> 00:05:36,440
Ejaaz:
Burry is estimating, which is, there are people booking up GPUs, Josh.

84
00:05:37,250 --> 00:05:40,270
Ejaaz:
Two quarters in advance, six months in advance.

85
00:05:40,430 --> 00:05:46,250
Ejaaz:
And these aren't the latest GPUs. These are GPUs that are like five years old,

86
00:05:46,550 --> 00:05:49,210
Ejaaz:
three years old, in some cases, even longer.

87
00:05:49,450 --> 00:05:53,710
Ejaaz:
So if you dig into the details of all these different NeoClouds,

88
00:05:53,850 --> 00:05:57,510
Ejaaz:
you'll start realizing that it's the opposite of what Michael Burry is estimating.

89
00:05:57,890 --> 00:06:01,710
Ejaaz:
One, these GPUs have a very long lifecycle. And two, they're being used for

90
00:06:01,710 --> 00:06:05,930
Ejaaz:
way longer than people expect for really important things within AI.

91
00:06:06,150 --> 00:06:09,090
Ejaaz:
They are oversubscribed, they are overutilized.

92
00:06:09,510 --> 00:06:12,910
Josh:
This is interesting because you're getting like these really two counterpoints

93
00:06:12,910 --> 00:06:15,950
Josh:
here where Michael Burry's subjective take where he's like, no, this is wrong.

94
00:06:16,110 --> 00:06:18,730
Josh:
And then you have this objective number, which is CoreWeave.

95
00:06:18,770 --> 00:06:21,810
Josh:
And they're saying, wait a second, we're actually selling out these old hard

96
00:06:21,810 --> 00:06:23,430
Josh:
drives or these old GPUs.

97
00:06:24,030 --> 00:06:29,290
Josh:
Two quarters in advance. So how do we kind of piece together who's right and

98
00:06:29,290 --> 00:06:30,350
Josh:
who's wrong through this?

99
00:06:30,470 --> 00:06:33,730
Josh:
Because it seems like the market demand, and intuitively it makes sense too,

100
00:06:33,870 --> 00:06:36,190
Josh:
that there is no shortage of people who want to generate tokens.

101
00:06:36,350 --> 00:06:40,330
Josh:
And even if you are paying a little extra in premium in terms of cost per kilowatt

102
00:06:40,330 --> 00:06:44,230
Josh:
for those older GPUs, it's probably still worthwhile because the amount of money

103
00:06:44,230 --> 00:06:45,990
Josh:
you could build on top of that is so large.

104
00:06:46,130 --> 00:06:50,690
Ejaaz:
Forget about GPUs. Even the CPUs are being used for all the AI distribution

105
00:06:50,690 --> 00:06:55,750
Ejaaz:
and coordination. I mean, look at this, AMD CPU tab has just gone up in this

106
00:06:55,750 --> 00:06:57,850
Ejaaz:
week's projected earnings, right?

107
00:06:58,270 --> 00:07:01,950
Ejaaz:
But to answer your question, it's like, okay, well, who's right here, right?

108
00:07:02,670 --> 00:07:07,310
Ejaaz:
I want to kind of, before I address that point, I want to look at another actor

109
00:07:07,310 --> 00:07:10,030
Ejaaz:
within this whole circular economy that we like to talk about,

110
00:07:10,130 --> 00:07:12,390
Ejaaz:
right? Which is the Frontier AI Labs, right?

111
00:07:13,010 --> 00:07:17,130
Ejaaz:
Google, who is an established company, they just had their first $100 billion

112
00:07:17,130 --> 00:07:22,350
Ejaaz:
revenue quarter, are using eight-year-old GPUs to like fund their whole thing.

113
00:07:22,470 --> 00:07:27,730
Ejaaz:
So again, another data point saying that I don't think these GPUs are old and or not useful.

114
00:07:28,150 --> 00:07:32,890
Ejaaz:
And then if you look at NVIDIA themselves, they also have crazy amounts of demand.

115
00:07:33,010 --> 00:07:37,090
Ejaaz:
They're oversubbed for years in advance for their Blackwell GPUs and all their

116
00:07:37,090 --> 00:07:38,610
Ejaaz:
new GPUs going forwards.

117
00:07:39,170 --> 00:07:45,070
Ejaaz:
So then the last actor that I would want to look at is where does all the demand come from?

118
00:07:45,170 --> 00:07:47,790
Ejaaz:
Like who's buying these GPUs? Are they satiating demand?

119
00:07:48,070 --> 00:07:53,270
Ejaaz:
And if you look at every other company like Google, who has a ton of end users,

120
00:07:53,490 --> 00:07:55,270
Ejaaz:
OpenAI with chat GPT users, et cetera.

121
00:07:55,970 --> 00:08:01,230
Ejaaz:
Every insider take points to there's not enough GPUs to supply all of this demand

122
00:08:01,230 --> 00:08:04,310
Ejaaz:
that they're getting from the apps that they produce, from Sora,

123
00:08:04,450 --> 00:08:05,670
Ejaaz:
from a bunch of these different things.

124
00:08:05,810 --> 00:08:11,150
Ejaaz:
There's just too much demand. And in many cases, they don't have enough scale

125
00:08:11,150 --> 00:08:13,370
Ejaaz:
to even kind of like meet this demand.

126
00:08:13,910 --> 00:08:17,570
Ejaaz:
Jensen Huang had a conversation with TSMC, which is like their main

127
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,000
Ejaaz:
chip manufacturer asking them to increase the rates of production by 50%.

128
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,820
Ejaaz:
So the point I'm saying is Michael Burry, I think is dead wrong here.

129
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,840
Ejaaz:
He's definitely underestimated demand and he's underestimated the life cycle

130
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,980
Ejaaz:
of these GPUs. They are more valuable than he thought.

131
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,860
Ejaaz:
And the old GPUs are worth more than they were worth when they sold originally.

132
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,560
Ejaaz:
They're still selling within 5% of their contracts, which is just crazy.

133
00:08:41,780 --> 00:08:44,860
Josh:
So maybe I have to ask a pretty dumb question or seemingly

134
00:08:44,860 --> 00:08:50,400
Josh:
dumb at least and it's like why why is that so important to the bubble how companies

135
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:55,280
Josh:
factor off losses in gpus over time is this some real big existential threat

136
00:08:55,280 --> 00:09:00,660
Josh:
to me it feels like a small part to a bigger picture and not quite as big as

137
00:09:00,660 --> 00:09:04,600
Josh:
something that would totally blow out an entire market that's been built so far the

138
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:10,780
Ejaaz:
Biggest budget spend for any major ai company is on GPUs.

139
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,080
Ejaaz:
That's where all the hundreds of billions are going for from Microsoft.

140
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:19,020
Ejaaz:
That's where the majority of OpenAI's $1.4 trillion that they've committed over

141
00:09:19,020 --> 00:09:20,320
Ejaaz:
the next five years is going to.

142
00:09:20,460 --> 00:09:23,620
Ejaaz:
It's all to these compute providers. It's all to these neoclouds.

143
00:09:23,700 --> 00:09:27,760
Ejaaz:
It's all to creating their own chips. It's all to Jensen Huang's pocket.

144
00:09:28,340 --> 00:09:32,360
Ejaaz:
And so most of the CapEx bubble comes from GPUs.

145
00:09:32,460 --> 00:09:35,760
Ejaaz:
So if the bubble is going to burst anywhere, it's going to be from over-leveraging

146
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,880
Ejaaz:
on GPUs. Do you want to know something crazy.

147
00:09:38,260 --> 00:09:38,740
Josh:
Josh? What's that?

148
00:09:38,860 --> 00:09:44,960
Ejaaz:
Even though hundreds of billions have been spent this year alone on GPUs,

149
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:50,020
Ejaaz:
the companies who have spent it haven't even made a dent on their balance sheet.

150
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,620
Ejaaz:
Remember, we're talking about Google here. We're talking about Microsoft here.

151
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,940
Ejaaz:
They make hundreds of billions of dollars in net profit per year.

152
00:09:57,100 --> 00:10:02,320
Ejaaz:
They have plenty of flush cash and they're spending it on machinery that they think is going,

153
00:10:03,830 --> 00:10:07,870
Ejaaz:
you and I maybe don't see on the enterprise side or on the end consumer side,

154
00:10:07,970 --> 00:10:09,610
Ejaaz:
but they are obviously seeing it.

155
00:10:10,190 --> 00:10:13,610
Josh:
Okay. That makes sense. So the depreciation really is a big factor because it's

156
00:10:13,610 --> 00:10:16,070
Josh:
kind of artificially inflating numbers across the board.

157
00:10:16,190 --> 00:10:18,770
Josh:
It's from the people who are borrowing it, the people who are issuing the GPUs.

158
00:10:19,010 --> 00:10:21,870
Josh:
There's lots of high inflation that he's assuming is being baked into this.

159
00:10:22,050 --> 00:10:25,850
Josh:
And eventually that inflation kind of fizzles its way out through either some

160
00:10:25,850 --> 00:10:30,510
Josh:
really aggressive event or just over time degrading, which makes sense.

161
00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:34,010
Josh:
Okay. I think i think i'm up to speed on this i think i get his case

162
00:10:34,010 --> 00:10:36,830
Josh:
but what seems a little bit different this time is that

163
00:10:36,830 --> 00:10:39,550
Josh:
the first short that was made was in 2008 it

164
00:10:39,550 --> 00:10:43,070
Josh:
was against basically the entire stock market and particularly the housing market um

165
00:10:43,070 --> 00:10:47,270
Josh:
that was not growing nearly as fast as the ai market is that's like shorting

166
00:10:47,270 --> 00:10:53,530
Josh:
the internet and if you shorted the internet before 1999 or after like there's

167
00:10:53,530 --> 00:10:56,770
Josh:
this very narrow window to be correct without getting blown out because what

168
00:10:56,770 --> 00:10:59,190
Josh:
a lot of people don't realize is in order to short a company you have to borrow

169
00:10:59,190 --> 00:11:01,410
Josh:
money against from somewhere else.

170
00:11:01,550 --> 00:11:04,930
Josh:
And that borrowing comes with a premium. You have to pay a certain percentage

171
00:11:04,930 --> 00:11:06,770
Josh:
interest in order to loan the money.

172
00:11:06,870 --> 00:11:09,970
Josh:
If he's not right on this, or even if he's wrong by a couple of months,

173
00:11:10,130 --> 00:11:14,750
Josh:
with the rate that the market is accelerating, it feels like it's a very difficult

174
00:11:14,750 --> 00:11:15,850
Josh:
thing to get right because...

175
00:11:16,490 --> 00:11:21,070
Josh:
You not only have to time it right, but you can't get blown out by the appreciation

176
00:11:21,070 --> 00:11:22,690
Josh:
of things as fast as they're growing.

177
00:11:22,830 --> 00:11:26,570
Josh:
Like I've never seen a hockey stick of an industry steeper than this one.

178
00:11:26,710 --> 00:11:30,870
Josh:
So it seems like this is a really tough position to be bearish in or a tough

179
00:11:30,870 --> 00:11:31,910
Josh:
time to bearish in at least.

180
00:11:32,330 --> 00:11:36,030
Ejaaz:
Yeah, it's a it's incredibly risky trade to make.

181
00:11:36,310 --> 00:11:42,710
Ejaaz:
And I mean, the cherry on top of all of this, Josh, is that he paid the price pretty dearly.

182
00:11:43,290 --> 00:11:47,570
Ejaaz:
You sent a message to our group chat this morning and I had to read it like multiple times.

183
00:11:48,250 --> 00:11:54,030
Ejaaz:
Michael Burry, this morning of our recording, announced that he is closing down

184
00:11:54,030 --> 00:11:59,470
Ejaaz:
his fund, the very same fund which took out this $300 million short on NVIDIA.

185
00:11:59,630 --> 00:12:04,070
Ejaaz:
He was down on his position pretty massively. He overstated his means.

186
00:12:04,230 --> 00:12:06,990
Ejaaz:
And there's one line here, Josh, which kind of sums it all up.

187
00:12:07,270 --> 00:12:13,450
Ejaaz:
He goes, my estimation of value in securities is not now and has not been for

188
00:12:13,450 --> 00:12:16,310
Ejaaz:
some time in sync with the markets.

189
00:12:16,890 --> 00:12:20,410
Josh:
Tough. Okay, so this connects the dots for me because I saw the beginning and I saw the end.

190
00:12:20,530 --> 00:12:24,070
Josh:
I was like, okay, I know he goes out of business, but I do not know why or how

191
00:12:24,070 --> 00:12:26,230
Josh:
he gets there. And I think this probably connects the story.

192
00:12:26,830 --> 00:12:29,330
Josh:
Don't, again, to the point yesterday, don't bet against the optimist,

193
00:12:29,490 --> 00:12:31,990
Josh:
dude. He had absolutely cooked. So where does that leave us then?

194
00:12:32,290 --> 00:12:37,510
Josh:
So therefore, it is not a bubble and he was wrong or therefore it is a bubble

195
00:12:37,510 --> 00:12:38,770
Josh:
and he was wrong with timing.

196
00:12:38,990 --> 00:12:44,390
Ejaaz:
No, I like where you're sniffing josh because that something still seems a bit

197
00:12:44,390 --> 00:12:49,770
Ejaaz:
off right it's like well okay if it's not gpus what could it potentially be also so.

198
00:12:49,770 --> 00:12:55,810
Josh:
He he blew up his position but that doesn't ruin the hypothesis right like just

199
00:12:55,810 --> 00:13:00,190
Josh:
the prices moved against him but it doesn't prove the thesis wrong is that right

200
00:13:00,190 --> 00:13:05,450
Ejaaz:
It doesn't prove the thesis wrong on a long-term horizon because no one knows

201
00:13:05,450 --> 00:13:09,310
Ejaaz:
whether any of these crazy spends are gonna be crazy in hindsight,

202
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:14,320
Ejaaz:
But for now, in the short term, all the fundamentals show that there is adequate

203
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,320
Ejaaz:
demand for the GPUs and there are end users that are willing to use these AI

204
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,460
Ejaaz:
products that require these GPUs.

205
00:13:20,660 --> 00:13:24,240
Ejaaz:
It actually tells us the opposite story, which is there are not enough GPUs

206
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,060
Ejaaz:
in the world right now, old and new, that can satiate the demand for all the

207
00:13:28,060 --> 00:13:31,680
Ejaaz:
AI products that are being served today, right now at this moment.

208
00:13:31,860 --> 00:13:32,400
Josh:
Okay. Yeah.

209
00:13:33,780 --> 00:13:40,300
Ejaaz:
But one thing that could signal a constraint, Josh, is energy.

210
00:13:40,900 --> 00:13:46,800
Ejaaz:
The, put simply, the U.S. energy grid isn't up to par to supply energy to all

211
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,640
Ejaaz:
these GPUs so that they can do the job.

212
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,780
Ejaaz:
In fact, there's this clip that I have here from Satya Nadella of Microsoft

213
00:13:52,780 --> 00:13:57,160
Ejaaz:
where he goes on to basically say he has hundreds of millions of dollars worth

214
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:02,020
Ejaaz:
of NVIDIA GPUs that are collecting dust in his fair weather data centers because

215
00:14:02,020 --> 00:14:04,420
Ejaaz:
they don't have the energy to supply this.

216
00:14:04,420 --> 00:14:07,380
Josh:
That seems uh troubling and i

217
00:14:07,380 --> 00:14:10,340
Josh:
think this is to a point that is being made

218
00:14:10,340 --> 00:14:13,900
Josh:
a lot where there are these gluts where

219
00:14:13,900 --> 00:14:18,300
Josh:
they are and how they show themselves is going to be the thing for debate and

220
00:14:18,300 --> 00:14:22,460
Josh:
this isn't the only hot clip we got this week there is this hysterical clip

221
00:14:22,460 --> 00:14:27,240
Josh:
um of satya nadella ceo of microsoft kind of talking about his relationship

222
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,140
Josh:
with microsoft and i want to play this out before we give some commentary on

223
00:14:30,140 --> 00:14:32,860
Josh:
it because i think of all the clips i watched this week. This was one of my favorite.

224
00:14:33,100 --> 00:14:38,420
Ejaaz:
In our case, the good news here is OpenAI has a program which we have access to.

225
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:43,300
Ejaaz:
And so therefore, to think that Microsoft is not going to have something that's- What level of.

226
00:14:43,300 --> 00:14:44,120
Josh:
Access do you have to that?

227
00:14:44,260 --> 00:14:44,660
Ejaaz:
All of them.

228
00:14:44,940 --> 00:14:48,420
Josh:
You just get the IP for all of that. So the only IP you don't have is a consumer

229
00:14:48,420 --> 00:14:50,280
Josh:
hardware. That's it. Oh, wow. Okay.

230
00:14:53,860 --> 00:14:55,300
Ejaaz:
Interesting. That's so good. That's crazy.

231
00:14:55,660 --> 00:14:58,760
Josh:
And this comes off the back of Satya saying in a previous interview

232
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,680
Josh:
when asked about open ai he goes we are like above them we

233
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,840
Josh:
are beside them we are around them they have this full total

234
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,760
Josh:
controlling entity over open ai

235
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,480
Josh:
and this is it's like the delivery is

236
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,880
Josh:
hysterical the reaction is hysterical but it also it

237
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:18,300
Josh:
shows a lot of interesting dynamics between these large companies because during

238
00:15:18,300 --> 00:15:23,060
Josh:
this interview satya also made mention of the fact that people who are building

239
00:15:23,060 --> 00:15:27,920
Josh:
their moats around individual models are very fragile and very brittle in the

240
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:33,860
Josh:
sense that they are one company copying their model away from being worth significantly less.

241
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,320
Josh:
And we kind of saw that earlier this week with our Kimmy K2 episode.

242
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,920
Josh:
I highly recommend you watch it if you haven't, because

243
00:15:39,490 --> 00:15:45,950
Josh:
It shows how fragile being a frontier model can be if that's your only business.

244
00:15:46,210 --> 00:15:50,190
Josh:
And in the case of Satya and Microsoft, I mean, it seems like they have all

245
00:15:50,190 --> 00:15:51,010
Josh:
the leverage in the world.

246
00:15:51,030 --> 00:15:54,010
Josh:
If they want to fork the OpenAI code base right now and create their own chat

247
00:15:54,010 --> 00:15:56,590
Josh:
GPT, they can do that. They own all of it.

248
00:15:56,710 --> 00:16:02,710
Ejaaz:
Yeah, I've said this before, but I think the biggest winner of OpenAI is Satya

249
00:16:02,710 --> 00:16:04,710
Ejaaz:
Nadella. He has struck the best deal.

250
00:16:06,330 --> 00:16:10,630
Ejaaz:
OpenAI recently restructured their entire company. We actually did an episode on that.

251
00:16:10,970 --> 00:16:14,990
Ejaaz:
Feel free to check it out. But one of the major takeaways from that was,

252
00:16:15,580 --> 00:16:22,240
Ejaaz:
Satya owns 27% of OpenAI. And now he is able to engage in any model provider, not just OpenAI.

253
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:26,200
Ejaaz:
He doesn't have exclusive rights anymore. He can kind of like flirt with other

254
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:27,520
Ejaaz:
AI companies. And he did.

255
00:16:27,860 --> 00:16:30,440
Ejaaz:
He engaged with like Amazon on a bunch of different things.

256
00:16:31,140 --> 00:16:36,300
Ejaaz:
And he just owns all the IP until something like 2030 or 2032.

257
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,500
Ejaaz:
So he is one of the smartest chess players.

258
00:16:39,940 --> 00:16:43,440
Ejaaz:
Honestly, unexpectedly for me, I didn't think I thought Microsoft was kind of

259
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,660
Ejaaz:
like boomer in this sets, but he's navigated it beautifully.

260
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:51,440
Ejaaz:
And one thing that I also need to give him kudos for is he has one of the biggest

261
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:52,980
Ejaaz:
moats when it comes to enterprise.

262
00:16:53,300 --> 00:16:56,960
Ejaaz:
Like remember, Microsoft software is a really good consumer grade product,

263
00:16:57,180 --> 00:16:59,940
Ejaaz:
but is mainly kind of making their money from all the enterprise stuff,

264
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,560
Ejaaz:
from Copala and stuff like that.

265
00:17:02,380 --> 00:17:04,860
Ejaaz:
So beautifully executed from Satya here.

266
00:17:05,060 --> 00:17:07,820
Josh:
I love this. Man, Satya, he's crushing it.

267
00:17:07,940 --> 00:17:12,040
Josh:
And it's funny because you don't think of Microsoft as a serious player in the world of AI at all.

268
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,080
Josh:
I don't use any of their software. I don't use Copilot. In fact,

269
00:17:15,220 --> 00:17:19,360
Josh:
he was asked about Copilot because Copilot was the single AI coding agent.

270
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:20,980
Josh:
It owned 100% of the market share.

271
00:17:21,140 --> 00:17:25,700
Josh:
And now it's taken down to 25%. And he said, this is a great thing because now

272
00:17:25,700 --> 00:17:30,140
Josh:
I still own 25% of a market that is now 10 times the size of what I previously

273
00:17:30,140 --> 00:17:33,280
Josh:
owned 100% of. So for him, he's playing the positive sum game.

274
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:38,100
Josh:
He's very aware of the market dynamics at play. And for the cost of what was it, $10 billion?

275
00:17:38,620 --> 00:17:41,700
Josh:
He got the largest shareholder position

276
00:17:41,700 --> 00:17:45,180
Josh:
of open ai which was rumored to ipo at a trillion dollars

277
00:17:45,180 --> 00:17:49,800
Josh:
so they not only see the financial upside but they get all the intellectual

278
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,100
Josh:
property most importantly the code base to either reverse engineer for their

279
00:17:53,100 --> 00:17:58,020
Josh:
own wants or to just clone and use for whatever they want it for it they have

280
00:17:58,020 --> 00:18:03,840
Josh:
it and it is a true chess move by satya bravo nicely done microsoft as

281
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:09,940
Ejaaz:
Of today as we speak today at open ai's 500 billion dollar valuation uh microsoft,

282
00:18:10,770 --> 00:18:14,530
Ejaaz:
Microsoft stake is worth $136 billion.

283
00:18:15,390 --> 00:18:22,190
Josh:
Not a bad deal. But that's not the only big news. We have exciting news on the ChatGPT front.

284
00:18:22,410 --> 00:18:26,430
Josh:
This is what I'm most excited about because I use ChatGPT every day and this

285
00:18:26,430 --> 00:18:30,910
Josh:
is hopefully going to change the way I use it. Maybe we'll see when we talk about it.

286
00:18:31,170 --> 00:18:36,130
Josh:
The news this week is that ChatGPT and OpenAI, they launched GPT 5.1,

287
00:18:36,450 --> 00:18:38,830
Josh:
which is a whole new upgrade to GPT-5.

288
00:18:39,530 --> 00:18:42,630
Josh:
How different it is, we're not really sure.

289
00:18:42,850 --> 00:18:46,690
Josh:
I know, EJ, as I kind of read through the highlights, it's warmer in terms of

290
00:18:46,690 --> 00:18:50,090
Josh:
its like sentiment by default. So it'll be a little bit nicer,

291
00:18:50,350 --> 00:18:54,270
Josh:
which is bizarre because I thought we were going, we were trying to go the opposite

292
00:18:54,270 --> 00:18:55,870
Josh:
direction, like it's a little too nice.

293
00:18:56,110 --> 00:18:58,430
Josh:
And they added some safeguards that we'll get into in a second.

294
00:18:58,610 --> 00:19:02,530
Josh:
There's also much better instruction following, which is interesting because

295
00:19:02,530 --> 00:19:07,450
Josh:
oftentimes when you instruct GPT-5 to do things, it doesn't always do them exactly as you want.

296
00:19:07,650 --> 00:19:12,170
Josh:
So like if you say always respond in six words, it will oftentimes respond in

297
00:19:12,170 --> 00:19:14,990
Josh:
more or less than six words. It just doesn't quite understand the instructions.

298
00:19:15,270 --> 00:19:20,650
Josh:
And then one of the really fun things that I saw was they changed the different

299
00:19:20,650 --> 00:19:21,630
Josh:
types of personalities.

300
00:19:21,790 --> 00:19:25,350
Josh:
So you can choose between personalities on how you engage with the model.

301
00:19:25,470 --> 00:19:29,350
Josh:
And the previous ones were default, friendly, and efficient.

302
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,940
Josh:
And now there are some newly added ones, which are professional,

303
00:19:33,260 --> 00:19:35,760
Josh:
candid, quirky, nerdy, and cynical.

304
00:19:36,020 --> 00:19:41,340
Josh:
So in the case you want to personalize ChatGPT to be more like those models,

305
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,660
Josh:
well, now you have the option to do so with GPT 5.1.

306
00:19:45,780 --> 00:19:49,840
Josh:
So if I'm sick of it saying, you're so right, I agree, that's a great idea,

307
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,580
Josh:
that's a great question, you could just say, cut that out, and it'll actually

308
00:19:52,580 --> 00:19:54,620
Josh:
listen for the first time, which is really exciting.

309
00:19:55,020 --> 00:19:58,460
Josh:
EJS, did you find anything interesting from GPT 5.1 after going through everything?

310
00:19:58,460 --> 00:20:01,960
Ejaaz:
Yeah, I spent the last like 12 hours playing around with it.

311
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,500
Ejaaz:
Can I just, I'm going to play Bad Cop for a bit, Josh. Cool. I don't care.

312
00:20:06,820 --> 00:20:10,220
Ejaaz:
Like this is kind of like a nothing burger 0.1 update.

313
00:20:11,120 --> 00:20:14,200
Ejaaz:
And it's honestly like I've come to expect more from open air.

314
00:20:14,260 --> 00:20:16,920
Ejaaz:
So I'm kind of surprised that they've come through with this release.

315
00:20:17,260 --> 00:20:20,960
Ejaaz:
On the point of different personalities, I think that's super helpful.

316
00:20:21,220 --> 00:20:27,580
Ejaaz:
Because speaking for myself, I think that the current model is too agreeable. It's too sycophantic.

317
00:20:28,660 --> 00:20:34,120
Ejaaz:
And kind of Sam heard this feedback and the original version of GPT-5 was less

318
00:20:34,120 --> 00:20:36,940
Ejaaz:
sycophantic, but then a bunch of people were like, I want it to be more friendly.

319
00:20:37,060 --> 00:20:40,480
Ejaaz:
I want it to be more appeasing. And so he's kind of like flittering back and forth.

320
00:20:41,180 --> 00:20:44,720
Ejaaz:
This option gives a lot more flexibility for the end user, for me.

321
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,500
Ejaaz:
I'm like, I want someone that's maybe a bit more candid or a little more cynical

322
00:20:48,500 --> 00:20:51,200
Ejaaz:
when I'm kind of doing my research and then maybe a little more friendly when

323
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:52,660
Ejaaz:
I talk about more personal stuff, right?

324
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,480
Ejaaz:
So the pliability is cool.

325
00:20:55,980 --> 00:20:58,720
Ejaaz:
What I will say is like, you kind of were able to do

326
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,920
Ejaaz:
this before you could just go into settings user personalization

327
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,780
Ejaaz:
and type in a prompt this i guess makes it easier

328
00:21:04,780 --> 00:21:07,640
Ejaaz:
because you just gotta click a button and maybe that helps a lot of people

329
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:12,380
Ejaaz:
um the other cool thing i guess is like uh when it comes to efficiency it uses

330
00:21:12,380 --> 00:21:17,240
Ejaaz:
fewer tokens and gives you more output so you get a higher quality answer for

331
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,640
Ejaaz:
less energy for less compute which is probably going to drive down costs of

332
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,920
Ejaaz:
accessing this type of aid this type of Frontier AI, which is super cool.

333
00:21:25,180 --> 00:21:28,320
Ejaaz:
But aside from that, it's kind of like, why did they do this?

334
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,000
Ejaaz:
One of the critiques I saw, Josh is like,

335
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,860
Ejaaz:
it seems kind of rushed. Like there's no benchmarks, no API release.

336
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,480
Ejaaz:
A bunch of the dev tools look a little sloppy. It's almost like they kind of rush this.

337
00:21:40,620 --> 00:21:44,620
Ejaaz:
It's not, there's no formal kind of like Sam's doing a live stream around this.

338
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,660
Ejaaz:
It's nothing around like, you know, hey, here's how it compares against other

339
00:21:47,660 --> 00:21:50,820
Ejaaz:
models. They just kind of like rush this out. And I'm kind of confused.

340
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:55,120
Josh:
Yeah. I suspect the public sentiment will start to reshape itself around how this goes.

341
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,300
Josh:
Like when, when Apple releases iOS 26, it

342
00:21:58,300 --> 00:22:01,460
Josh:
was a huge release with liquid glass and all this cool new improvements and

343
00:22:01,460 --> 00:22:04,180
Josh:
then 26.1 is an incremental improvement where it adds a lot

344
00:22:04,180 --> 00:22:07,300
Josh:
of new features nothing really groundbreaking but the product gets light slightly

345
00:22:07,300 --> 00:22:10,420
Josh:
better i think we can kind of view these mid-tier updates

346
00:22:10,420 --> 00:22:13,120
Josh:
as that where they're just small incremental improvements like

347
00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:15,980
Josh:
now it's a little more efficient like you said there's this

348
00:22:15,980 --> 00:22:18,680
Josh:
new dynamic thinking time which is what they call like

349
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,940
Josh:
smart thinking and it allows it to think faster

350
00:22:21,940 --> 00:22:25,160
Josh:
think more efficiently use less words that

351
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,880
Josh:
are fillers so it needs less tokens to operate like the chart that we're

352
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,900
Josh:
seeing and that just allows for one the

353
00:22:30,900 --> 00:22:33,700
Josh:
model to think more because it uses less tokens to think

354
00:22:33,700 --> 00:22:37,120
Josh:
and then two it just creates a little more efficiency unlock for open

355
00:22:37,120 --> 00:22:41,200
Josh:
ai's gpus to open them up to do other things so i assume this update is probably

356
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,700
Josh:
for both people for the consumer and for open ai in terms of efficiency and

357
00:22:45,700 --> 00:22:49,240
Josh:
slightly better product is it this amazing novel breakthrough it doesn't appear

358
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:53,920
Josh:
like it at all in fact it's just like a very marginal improvement but it's something it is like

359
00:22:54,460 --> 00:22:57,680
Josh:
It is something, and I suspect we'll probably get more updates like this,

360
00:22:57,780 --> 00:23:00,000
Josh:
where it's like, oh, well, it does this like one thing a little bit better.

361
00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:04,060
Josh:
Do you notice it? Maybe like one in every 50 prompts, but it's not a big deal.

362
00:23:04,580 --> 00:23:07,440
Josh:
And that's probably where we are for a little while until maybe Gemini 3.

363
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,920
Josh:
I don't know. We have, there are murmurs of Gemini 3 coming down the pipeline from Google.

364
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:13,720
Ejaaz:
I've been waiting for it for a month now.

365
00:23:14,020 --> 00:23:16,100
Josh:
Yeah, that could hopefully blow things out of the water. But we're at this weird

366
00:23:16,100 --> 00:23:19,700
Josh:
kind of stagnant period where we haven't seen those step function improvements

367
00:23:19,700 --> 00:23:21,700
Josh:
in AI models in a little while now.

368
00:23:21,700 --> 00:23:25,640
Ejaaz:
I mean, like the speculation that would be like we're kind of grinding to a

369
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:30,400
Ejaaz:
halt and that exponential up, that S curve where we see AI improving massively

370
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,040
Ejaaz:
and it's curing cancer may not be quite there yet.

371
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,500
Ejaaz:
But hey, listen, in the meantime, there are several parties that are super bullish

372
00:23:38,500 --> 00:23:42,600
Ejaaz:
open AI. One of them is Masayoshi-san of SoftBank.

373
00:23:43,380 --> 00:23:51,900
Ejaaz:
In this news, he sold his entire stake of NVIDIA worth $5.83 billion to buy OpenAI stock.

374
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,960
Ejaaz:
It's hilarious because all that money that is investing in OpenAI is only going

375
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,760
Ejaaz:
to get spent on NVIDIA GPUs.

376
00:23:59,340 --> 00:24:02,520
Ejaaz:
Just hold NVIDIA. Like, why are you doing that?

377
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,540
Josh:
Masa's really, he's been making some questionable decisions lately.

378
00:24:05,540 --> 00:24:08,800
Josh:
He sold NVIDIA too early and he missed the whole bubble he missed the whole

379
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,240
Josh:
like he's just been making some strange decisions here he

380
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:18,740
Ejaaz:
Wants to own 5% of NVIDIA do you know how much that would be worth today? I cannot believe,

381
00:24:19,590 --> 00:24:21,890
Ejaaz:
So like, you know, someone like kind of like tweeted this. They were like,

382
00:24:21,970 --> 00:24:25,690
Ejaaz:
you know, someone should look into what happened after he sold his entire NVIDIA stake in 2019.

383
00:24:26,070 --> 00:24:32,310
Ejaaz:
Just for reference here, the GPT 3.5 that went viral across the internet released

384
00:24:32,310 --> 00:24:33,570
Ejaaz:
two and a half years later.

385
00:24:33,970 --> 00:24:37,710
Ejaaz:
So pretty, pretty insane thing there. And then in final news,

386
00:24:38,110 --> 00:24:40,590
Ejaaz:
Josh, tell me about this. This looks super exciting.

387
00:24:40,850 --> 00:24:44,250
Josh:
The Google DeepMind team is back with some pretty awesome news.

388
00:24:44,430 --> 00:24:47,590
Josh:
We are very fond of the Google DeepMind team in particular here at Limitless.

389
00:24:47,590 --> 00:24:52,930
Josh:
They are very good at building real world physics in a digital manifestation,

390
00:24:52,930 --> 00:24:56,850
Josh:
which I think is a really important thing to be good at in a world where we're

391
00:24:56,850 --> 00:25:01,450
Josh:
training robots to be good at physical stuff, but they have not quite had the

392
00:25:01,450 --> 00:25:03,370
Josh:
training time to get good at physical stuff.

393
00:25:03,490 --> 00:25:06,850
Josh:
And what I love is that we've seen a lot of these projects coming out of the

394
00:25:06,850 --> 00:25:08,390
Josh:
DeepMind team. And today we got a

395
00:25:10,130 --> 00:25:13,630
Josh:
An agent that is capable of navigating these 3D virtual worlds.

396
00:25:13,750 --> 00:25:16,250
Josh:
So we saw previously there was a few models that can generate the worlds.

397
00:25:16,370 --> 00:25:19,690
Josh:
Well, now SEMA 2, which implies there was a SEMA 1 that I was blissfully unaware

398
00:25:19,690 --> 00:25:24,570
Josh:
of, allows these AI agents to actually navigate these virtual worlds.

399
00:25:24,690 --> 00:25:28,490
Josh:
So now not only can Google generate the virtual games, they literally look like

400
00:25:28,490 --> 00:25:32,470
Josh:
video games in this in this video, but they can also have the characters navigate

401
00:25:32,470 --> 00:25:37,290
Josh:
these complicated experiences, understand how things work, kind of piece things together.

402
00:25:37,550 --> 00:25:40,310
Josh:
It's amazing to see because it feels like as i'm watching

403
00:25:40,310 --> 00:25:43,330
Josh:
this video it is how a toddler would play

404
00:25:43,330 --> 00:25:46,450
Josh:
a video game it's kind of they're slowly moving it's figuring

405
00:25:46,450 --> 00:25:49,510
Josh:
it out you could see kind of reasoning in real time and navigating

406
00:25:49,510 --> 00:25:52,930
Josh:
these spaces and it's important to understand as you're watching this everything

407
00:25:52,930 --> 00:25:56,590
Josh:
that is on this is generated by ai because previously

408
00:25:56,590 --> 00:25:59,690
Josh:
these look like trailers to video games and those those video

409
00:25:59,690 --> 00:26:03,210
Josh:
games would have required thousands of people who are game developers lots

410
00:26:03,210 --> 00:26:05,890
Josh:
of time on the game engine and all of that is

411
00:26:05,890 --> 00:26:08,750
Josh:
done now fully by ai so seeing this announcement

412
00:26:08,750 --> 00:26:11,690
Josh:
was really exciting for me because i'm like one i just love video games and

413
00:26:11,690 --> 00:26:15,710
Josh:
two like oh my god wait these ais not only are they able to generate the environment

414
00:26:15,710 --> 00:26:19,390
Josh:
but now these ai models are able to actually engage with the environment and

415
00:26:19,390 --> 00:26:23,590
Josh:
what downstream effects does that have on training humanoid robots and the like

416
00:26:23,590 --> 00:26:26,370
Josh:
which we saw with the tesla episode last week yeah

417
00:26:26,370 --> 00:26:31,770
Ejaaz:
I mean yeah to your point um we see a real life implementation of this with

418
00:26:31,770 --> 00:26:36,870
Ejaaz:
tesla tesla Tesla has a world model which they use in their robots,

419
00:26:37,050 --> 00:26:42,110
Ejaaz:
which is the Tesla cars and automated self-driving and the future optimist robots.

420
00:26:42,250 --> 00:26:46,610
Ejaaz:
And what's cool about this is, Josh, one of the main things that makes your

421
00:26:46,610 --> 00:26:51,230
Ejaaz:
AI models super cool or really smart or intelligent is data.

422
00:26:51,980 --> 00:26:55,980
Ejaaz:
There's a scarcity of data. There's a scarcity of rich human data.

423
00:26:56,140 --> 00:26:59,620
Ejaaz:
Like they don't necessarily see what we see through our eyes or hear what we hear.

424
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:04,940
Ejaaz:
These simulated environments basically synthetically create this data and enhance

425
00:27:04,940 --> 00:27:06,460
Ejaaz:
any of these AI models, right?

426
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:11,320
Ejaaz:
And so Tesla kind of gets smarter by replaying a scenario where it almost crashed

427
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:15,720
Ejaaz:
over and over and over again in simulated environments until it gets it right.

428
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:20,940
Ejaaz:
And then that just gets transported to every single production ready Tesla that

429
00:27:20,940 --> 00:27:24,780
Ejaaz:
anyone is driving so that if they found themselves in a similar scenario, they avoid it.

430
00:27:24,860 --> 00:27:28,760
Ejaaz:
And that's just like one small use case for like what these robots will eventually

431
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,400
Ejaaz:
be benefiting from. So such a super cool update.

432
00:27:32,580 --> 00:27:35,300
Josh:
Yeah. And if you scroll down actually to post EJs, you'll see a lot of similarities

433
00:27:35,300 --> 00:27:39,800
Josh:
to what we spoke about with Tesla, where you could see the model kind of reasoning in plain English.

434
00:27:39,980 --> 00:27:42,680
Josh:
You could see, oh, we equipped the pickaxe and copper mine. And then,

435
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,560
Josh:
okay, like I'll equip the pickaxe and it walks you through its chain of thought

436
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,580
Josh:
and then not only that but the post below it shows that it's self-improving

437
00:27:48,580 --> 00:27:52,360
Josh:
so the more time it spends cycling through the more time it spends playing games

438
00:27:52,360 --> 00:27:56,280
Josh:
the better it gets and these are early implementations of what what we kind

439
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,760
Josh:
of imagined ai would eventually be which is this self-recursive loop where it

440
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:04,000
Josh:
can improve without outside information and it's really exciting to see it happening

441
00:28:04,620 --> 00:28:08,120
Josh:
in the virtual world, because I guess that's the only place it can make sense

442
00:28:08,120 --> 00:28:09,480
Josh:
where it costs much less.

443
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,400
Josh:
You can't harm anybody if a robot goes rogue, but it can learn without the inputs

444
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:17,220
Josh:
of other people. So that is the exciting thing about this, I think.

445
00:28:17,580 --> 00:28:20,300
Josh:
And I'm really excited for the DeepMind team, man. I hope they keep going.

446
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,480
Ejaaz:
Well, dude, like, do you remember our conversation with Logan Kilpatrick,

447
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,560
Ejaaz:
the head of Google's AI studio?

448
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:28,860
Ejaaz:
If you haven't seen that episode, definitely go and check it out.

449
00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:34,040
Ejaaz:
One of his main takeaways or one of my main takeaways is all of Google's AI

450
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:38,220
Ejaaz:
byproducts feeds off of different models within the same suite.

451
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:43,160
Ejaaz:
So if their video model learns something cool, they can transpose that onto

452
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:47,820
Ejaaz:
their LLM, which is like in Word, so that it gets recursively smarter over time.

453
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:52,960
Ejaaz:
I just think it's like fascinating and world models kind of like manifest all

454
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,260
Ejaaz:
of these different things in one particular simulated environment.

455
00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,020
Ejaaz:
So, so cool. Kind of hard to wrap my head around sometimes, but because it looks

456
00:29:00,020 --> 00:29:01,740
Ejaaz:
like a video game to your point but but awesome.

457
00:29:01,740 --> 00:29:06,140
Josh:
Yeah it's you have to break this gap between like your normal understanding

458
00:29:06,140 --> 00:29:09,000
Josh:
when you see these videos and think like oh my god wait this is not normal this

459
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,940
Josh:
is actually all ai generated um but with that we have concluded all the fun

460
00:29:12,940 --> 00:29:14,300
Josh:
new updates from this week it was a

461
00:29:14,740 --> 00:29:18,140
Josh:
i'd say a medium week it wasn't anything crazy there was no crazy outliers but

462
00:29:18,140 --> 00:29:21,660
Josh:
a solid week overall every week there's so much stuff going on and the progress

463
00:29:21,660 --> 00:29:25,500
Josh:
i feel like we're almost getting immune to it how fast things are moving um

464
00:29:25,500 --> 00:29:29,800
Josh:
but i hope everyone found this interesting if you did please don't remember

465
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,000
Josh:
to share with your friends, like, subscribe.

466
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:35,080
Josh:
Ejaz, I know you were manifesting some sort of send-off today. Do you want to share?

467
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:41,580
Ejaaz:
Yes. Similar to Michael Burry, you shouldn't be shorting the biggest podcast bubble in the world.

468
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:46,480
Ejaaz:
And Limitless is at the forefront over here. We're delivering you all the latest AI news.

469
00:29:46,700 --> 00:29:51,420
Ejaaz:
And just like the trade that Burry made that he lost $300 million in,

470
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,900
Ejaaz:
you don't want to be shorting the best leading AI podcast in the world.

471
00:29:55,100 --> 00:29:56,340
Ejaaz:
Give us a five-star rating.

472
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,140
Ejaaz:
Subscribe if you're not. What was the stat, Josh? 80% of listeners?

473
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,280
Ejaaz:
83%? How many of them don't subscribe? Over 80%.

474
00:30:04,650 --> 00:30:07,950
Ejaaz:
Over 80. That's nuts. It helps us out massively.

475
00:30:08,250 --> 00:30:12,390
Ejaaz:
We are currently in the top 30 in the technology podcast across Spotify,

476
00:30:12,550 --> 00:30:15,990
Ejaaz:
Apple, and wherever you listen. Help us get to the top 10. It would mean a lot. What do we say?

477
00:30:16,470 --> 00:30:20,230
Josh:
Don't ever bet against the optimists. And by subscribing and by being a part

478
00:30:20,230 --> 00:30:21,730
Josh:
of this, you are part of the optimists.

479
00:30:21,870 --> 00:30:24,970
Josh:
And we are going to move forward and things are going to progress.

480
00:30:25,210 --> 00:30:29,150
Josh:
And just don't bet against the optimists. So thank you for being optimistic

481
00:30:29,150 --> 00:30:33,050
Josh:
with us and being on this journey with us and we'll be back next week with a

482
00:30:33,050 --> 00:30:36,450
Josh:
whole new slew of episodes so thank you for watching and we'll see you then
