A deep dive that bridges 5,000 years of engineering with the frontier of AI and robotics. From Demian’s on-site exploration of Egypt’s pyramids to Tesla’s chip strategy, CyberCab rollout and Optimus economics, this episode tracks how civilizations rise on manufacturing breakthroughs — and why we’re entering the next one.
The crew zoom out from the shareholder meeting headlines to the real story:
scale, compute, robotics, and the societal transition that follows.
In this episode
🏺 Ancient Tech, Modern Parallels — Why the pyramids look less like tombs and more like early gigafactories: pressure chambers, ammonia production, conductivity and large-scale industrial design.
🤖 Optimus Ramp & the Money Glitch — Elon’s claim of the fastest product scale-up in history, the economics behind a billion humanoids, and why labor decoupling changes everything.
🔌 Chips, Compute & the TeraFab — What Tesla’s chip strategy implies for AI scarcity, inference at planetary scale, and why data centers may move off-planet.
🚕 CyberCab & Unboxed Manufacturing — A new vehicle architecture, a new supply chain, and why robotaxis won’t just disrupt Uber — but the entire ICE market.
🌍 FSD Deployment Reality Check — Europe’s regulatory gridlock, loopholes used by early adopters, and geopolitical fragmentation in autonomous driving.
🛰️ Space-Based AI — The blueprint for AI data centers in space, Starship cadence, lunar cooling advantages, and the economics of off-world compute.
💸 The Next Economy — Deflation, unemployment, value creation without labor, and the tension between societal collapse and abundance-driven entrepreneurship.
🧭 A Pro-Human AI Future — What a “pro-human AI” actually means: preventing harm, augmenting human capability, and shifting from a money-driven to a value-driven society.
