SAM ALTMAN SAYS THE AI MEMORY MARKET ISN'T WORKING
Sam Altman says memory makers could each generate ~$100B in annual free cash flow, yet hesitate to build more fabs.
“I think the invisible hand is failing right now.”
He cites “how many times they almost went bankrupt by making too many fabs” during past boom-bust cycles.

Microsoft's Mustafa Suleyman reveals Larry Page told him at SpaceX that by the end of the century he’d be exploring the galaxies at the head of a von Neumann probe
“Yeah, I remember in 2015 being in the canteen at SpaceX.”
“And we had our first meeting of the Ethics and Safety Board. So when we sold DeepMind to Google, we made it a condition of our acquisition that we would have an Ethics and Safety Board with independent representation on the board."
"One of those independent members, because Google had to agree, which was obviously Larry, Sergey, and David Drummond at the time. And then me, Demis, and Shane had to jointly agree who those three independents would be. And so we jointly picked Elon as one of them.”
“No idea if that had an influence on the founding of OpenAI or not. But so then we had our morning session and we were sitting down for lunch and I was sitting next to Larry. You know, obviously he was suspicious of me as well because he was like, you know, you’re one of those speciesists.”
“And he said, you know, I think that what you don’t understand, Mustafa, is that by the end of the century, I’m going to be exploring the galaxies at the head of a von Neumann probe, which means a von Neumann probe is a kind of self-propelling kind of robot that is able to gather energy from space as it’s careening through the light years.”

MARK CUBAN SAYS THE NEXT TRILLIONAIRE COULD BE WORKING FROM A BASEMENT.
“There's no better time to be an entrepreneur than right now.”
Mark Cuban says the lack of AI adoption in organizations means the "trillionaire in the basement" entrepreneur is coming:
"You have to be able to understand as a CEO and in the C-suite how all those things impact your company. Once you get a good grasp on that... you can just find new ways for things to happen that benefit your customers or create new opportunities."
"And that's the brilliance of AI, right? AI is not smart. It's book smart maybe, but it's not street smart. It's not entrepreneur smart. You've got to have somebody there who guides it and helps it."
"But until you have a C-suite that understands how it works, it's gonna be very difficult for that organization."
"I literally sat with the head of a consumer food company... I'm like, 'Okay, well, let's do this. Let's take your number one product, your cookie, right? And I'm gonna ask ChatGPT to create a competitor...' And in about three minutes he was like, 'Oh, s**t.'"
"There's no better time to be an entrepreneur than right now. There will be the trillionaire in the basement."

ROBOTS ARE FINALLY LEARNING HOW TO FEEL. 🤯🤖
Meet Silica, a startup building actuators it claims are 50X more sensitive, at an affordable price.
Introducing Silica.
We make actuators 50x more sensitive at an affordable price, so that robots can feel the world around them.
When I was at Apple, I developed technology that helped humans live more creative and connected lives.
Now I make hardware for the training age, so that robots can begin to share that world with us.
We just opened pre-orders. Check out silicamachines.com to learn more.
