“[Anthropic has] a decent lead on everybody else, whether it's three months or six months. Obviously they're probably six 12 months ahead of open source. Maybe they're three, six, nine months ahead of their contemporaries, but they have a lead.”
“There is a chance that we're going to see job loss increase in the short to midterm and then eventually the displaced people are going to have to learn or leave the workforce. Which is what happened during other revolutions like this.”
“Intelligent sovereignty is different than privacy... Now intelligent sovereignty is you can't tell me what to think. You can't use your AI to analyze my photos, to analyze my emails, and tell me how to interpret the world.”
“after OpenAI announced their jalapeno chips, after Anthropic started making chips, after AMD did successful projects with both of these companies, after Elon said he's going to do his own fab, Nvidia's taking the gloves off, David. They are going to own the whole stack.”
“you're going to spend 10, $20,000 per employee on local compute so that they can token max ... It's literally gonna be a server per individual in your company.”
“I think Apple is a screaming buy right now... they will put so much downward pressure on Claude and OpenAI by just putting local models and supporting them with this memory architecture.”
“the industry needs to regulate themselves... they should self certify each model before asking the government, which doesn't understand the models, to certify them.”
