Will Bitcoin Survive Quantum Computing? | Jordi Visser — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00So quantum is a hardware issue. I want
- 0:01everyone to hear that cuz we're going
- 0:03through this with AI right now. What's
- 0:05slowing down AI development? What's
- 0:08slowing down AI usage?
- 0:10It's hardware. It's the physical world.
- 0:13That's where Quantum's pain point is.
- 0:16Will it get there? He says 20 to 40
- 0:18years. Other people say 5 to 7. Okay. So
- 0:22his point is this. We will have time to
- 0:26respond to it. Now, part of what Chamath
- 0:28said, which is true today, is what's
- 0:31going on guys? Today's conversation with
- 0:32Jordy Visser is a classic. In this
- 0:34conversation, we talk about quantum
- 0:36computing. Is Bitcoin going to zero?
- 0:38What's going on with the hedge fund
- 0:39unwind? And then we get into how we're
- 0:41actually using AI. What is so inevitable
- 0:43about this technology? How is it going
- 0:45to impact your portfolio? Then we talk
- 0:46about warp sciences. We talk about war
- 0:49dogs, sharks with lasers, all kinds of
- 0:51crazy stuff that's going to get you
- 0:52thinking much more about where are we
- 0:54headed? How should you be allocating
- 0:56your capital and maybe what are some of
- 0:57the areas that you should stay away from
- 0:59as well? Here's my latest conversation
- 1:01with Jordy Visser. Hope you enjoy it.
- 1:03All right, Jordy, let's just start with
- 1:05the big topic. Chimath Palipatia said
- 1:07that Bitcoin's going to zero.
- 1:08>> The big topic.
- 1:09>> Yeah. Do you agree or disagree? I mean,
- 1:10that would be scary, right? I got a lot
- 1:12of my net worth in Bitcoin. Are you
- 1:13worried?
- 1:14>> I'm not worried.
- 1:15>> Okay.
- 1:16>> But I can tell you my subscribers are.
- 1:19>> Okay. and other people that have reached
- 1:21out in expost that I've done that had
- 1:23nothing to do with with Bitcoin. Uh let
- 1:26let me give everyone my thoughts on this
- 1:28because first of all,
- 1:32Chamath is a uh a podcast person for
- 1:35sure. So viral takes, especially when
- 1:38he's on another show, not his own show,
- 1:40become important to his show and his
- 1:42life. So I'm I'm sure this was part of
- 1:44it. Uh, I will leave all the rumors of
- 1:47his own exploration of Bitcoin and how
- 1:50much he'd be worth if he had held what
- 1:52he originally owned or whatever. I I
- 1:53don't get into that part. So, let me
- 1:55just go through the concept of where my
- 1:57head is with with quantum
- 1:59>> cuz because he said it was going to zero
- 2:01because of quantum
- 2:02>> because quantum and that this is old
- 2:03technology and so here are my thoughts
- 2:05on it. First thing is
- 2:08there's a software issue right now
- 2:11and the amount of hackings that we're
- 2:13having currently there's cyber security
- 2:16alerts around the globe. This week there
- 2:18was a website one with PHP Cloudfare
- 2:22went out and talked all about it. Um
- 2:24banks are being hacked at a pace never
- 2:26seen before and Axios had an article on
- 2:29that this week.
- 2:31I just want to make sure people realize
- 2:33that the Axios title we have right here,
- 2:37the internet's hidden security nightmare
- 2:39and how AI exposed it.
- 2:42Another one, Scoop, Madison Mills, one
- 2:45of the better uh AI reporters right now.
- 2:47Scoop, unvetted AI agents are accessing
- 2:49US bank accounts. So here here's the
- 2:52reason that I've thought about this a
- 2:54long time, but the way that I started
- 2:56before I would allow myself, which was
- 2:58in 2020, to make Bitcoin an important
- 3:02part of my net worth, was to understand
- 3:08this concept and get a sense as to what
- 3:11would happen. So the way my brain has
- 3:13dealt with this is very simple.
- 3:16uh AI agents were known to be coming and
- 3:19once they got to the level of 12,000 12
- 3:22billion a trillion all being able to
- 3:26hack your passwords and that's what I
- 3:27want everyone to think right now you
- 3:30have a gazillion passwords and I'm sure
- 3:33like most people they use the same one
- 3:36over and over again for many of their
- 3:38sites that's easily hacked by agent
- 3:40swarms in 2 seconds hell that's easily
- 3:43hacked by anyone who's trying to get in
- 3:44but now with agent Agent swarms.
- 3:45Everything is being hacked on a regular
- 3:47basis. So a year ago, this was not an
- 3:50issue because we didn't have agent
- 3:52swarms. The reason I'm bringing this up
- 3:54before this, Adam Back, who was involved
- 3:56with the Bitcoin white paper,
- 3:59who's a cryptographer and a PhD
- 4:03in computer science,
- 4:05go look up what Chimath's background is
- 4:07for this. So, if I'm gonna take anything
- 4:10seriously, the research that I did was
- 4:12to listen to Adam back, who you've had
- 4:14on here many times, right?
- 4:15>> Satoshi.
- 4:18Yes. So, his point on this is it's a
- 4:23hardware issue. We will eventually get
- 4:25to the point where quantum So, quantum
- 4:27is a hardware issue. I want everyone to
- 4:29hear that cuz we're going through this
- 4:30with AI right now. What's slowing down
- 4:33AI development? What's slowing down AI
- 4:36usage?
- 4:37It's hardware. It's the physical world.
- 4:40That's where Quantum's pain point is.
- 4:43Will it get there? He says 20 to 40
- 4:45years. Other people say 5 to 7. Okay.
- 4:49So, his point is this. We will have time
- 4:53to respond to it. Now, part of what
- 4:54Chimath said, which is true today, is
- 4:58the community has to come together on
- 4:59solving this problem, which I agree
- 5:01with. But you know what speeds up crisis
- 5:03management?
- 5:05A crisis. You know what else speeds up
- 5:07crisis management?
- 5:09A crisis in the current world, which is
- 5:11what we're going through right now.
- 5:14Things are going to move to cryptography
- 5:17and then JP Morgan will be involved in
- 5:20the endgame. The fact that all of the
- 5:22banks are now moving to the crypto
- 5:24guardrails, even if it's through they
- 5:27don't want to fall behind, they now have
- 5:29a vested interest every single day to
- 5:31speed up where the Bitcoin solution is.
- 5:34So if you ask me what the solution is,
- 5:36first of all, cryptography is definitely
- 5:37better than what we're on today.
- 5:40There will be some cryptography base
- 5:42because everything will move there and
- 5:43then we have to find the solution on
- 5:45that side. And that is effectively Adam
- 5:47back has made it very non-emotional. I
- 5:49watch him. I've listened to him a bunch
- 5:50of times. I listened to him in 2020 and
- 5:52as many things as possible the same way
- 5:54that I mentioned William
- 5:56>> Mugayar.
- 5:57>> I want to find the people that are older
- 5:59that have experience that are experts in
- 6:01the topic. So what Chamas said is one
- 6:02for headline grabbing two there's some
- 6:06I don't know he missed out on a big
- 6:07investment part that he could have been
- 6:10bigger in. So that's part of it and I
- 6:12really do believe that in the end he
- 6:14doesn't have the credentials to say what
- 6:16he said and the irony is my whole
- 6:19thought has been which I still believe
- 6:20is every day we are entering a very
- 6:24difficult period for established
- 6:26companies. I'm going to be on a panel
- 6:28this week where one of the topics is
- 6:29about the difference between owning
- 6:30equity and owning tokens. So, that is a
- 6:34weird question to me because they're all
- 6:35merging together. What did A16Z do this
- 6:38week with their crypto title and their
- 6:40funds? It's now Frontier. Why did they
- 6:42say Frontier? Because the difference
- 6:44between crypto
- 6:47and any technology, they've all morphed
- 6:49into it. You can't get around it. And
- 6:51what's the reason that they mention in
- 6:52the list? It's what I've talked about
- 6:54repeatedly. The agentic world is here
- 6:56and everything that they're seeing on
- 6:58the front lines, A16Z,
- 7:00they could make no good investments over
- 7:02the next 10 years, but the one thing I
- 7:04know that they have really smart people
- 7:06that have looked at technology at the
- 7:08beginning stages and they're seeing
- 7:10every development that's happening in
- 7:12the AI native world. And if you listen
- 7:14to the interview they did on their
- 7:15podcast this week, which came out today,
- 7:17I'm just telling you, you can't leave
- 7:19and then listen to Chimath and believe
- 7:22what every smart person is involved in
- 7:24right now. and know that we still have
- 7:26seven years to prepare for this. So I
- 7:28find the statement as completely just a
- 7:32joke.
- 7:32>> I have three things. Um you and I think
- 7:34end up in the same uh endgame of
- 7:37agreeing Bitcoin's not going to zero.
- 7:39Quantum is not going to be uh it's a
- 7:41risk that needs to be taken seriously,
- 7:43but it is not going to be the thing that
- 7:44takes down Bitcoin. Knock on wood. Um
- 7:48but I actually like the fact that
- 7:51Chimoth does not have the credentials
- 7:54because um I am a I'm a subscriber to he
- 7:57has this thing learn with me and what my
- 8:00understanding I don't know all the
- 8:01details but my understanding is he hired
- 8:02a team I think out of one of the big
- 8:04consulting firms and was basically like
- 8:05I want to learn about these topics go
- 8:07build me these huge presentations of
- 8:10energy in America and what the problem
- 8:12is uh healthcare you know whatever and
- 8:14so if you subscribe you can get these
- 8:16things and they're like super are
- 8:17intense. They're, you know, tens and
- 8:19tens of slides long that basically break
- 8:21down an entire problem and and explain
- 8:23it. So,
- 8:25I talk about stuff all the time that I'm
- 8:27not quote unquote a credentialed expert
- 8:28in, right? I that part doesn't bother
- 8:30me. Actually, like maybe there's unique
- 8:32thoughts, etc. The part that I think
- 8:36that he maybe is missing on is
- 8:39there's always a cat-and- mouse game
- 8:41between the good guys and the bad guys
- 8:42when it comes to technology. And what
- 8:45you find is usually the good guys have
- 8:48more money than the bad guys, but the
- 8:50bad guys have more time to think about
- 8:52using the technology. And so in a world
- 8:55of abundance,
- 8:58there's a little bit of a weird thing
- 8:59where now the bad guys have access to
- 9:01lots of intelligence, lots of time, the
- 9:03speeding up of time that you've talked
- 9:04about, right? And so cyber security
- 9:07becomes this huge issue. you mentioned
- 9:08some of the things that we saw there,
- 9:10but I still think that the quoteunquote
- 9:12good guys with the money end up being
- 9:16able to resist all of this even though
- 9:18AI is amazing all the stuff and you see
- 9:20that in like who created this technology
- 9:22that then is being weaponized quote
- 9:24unquote good guys let's uh put a lot of
- 9:27quotes around that right but like people
- 9:30who are not trying to go around hacking
- 9:31websites created technology
- 9:34so it just feels like this is another
- 9:36thing that is being said about Bitcoin.
- 9:39By the way, Bitcoin held in strong 80 to
- 9:42$85,000. Doesn't matter what happens
- 9:44with oil. Oil is now, you know, 115 or
- 9:46so. There's tons of concerns about the
- 9:48AI trade, huge sell-offs.
- 9:52Quantum, I mean, we could rattle off 20
- 9:53things that were said in the last 7
- 9:55days. Bitcoin just doesn't care, which I
- 9:59think you believe is like a strong data
- 10:01point that it's going to go higher into
- 10:03the end of the year. Yeah, I think now
- 10:05we we saw a small
- 10:08indication of it on I guess was
- 10:10Wednesday.
- 10:11>> Okay.
- 10:12>> The only update of really the week,
- 10:13well, no, there were there in the stock
- 10:15market. It was up Monday, Tuesday, and
- 10:16Wednesday was down big on Thursday. But
- 10:18on Wednesday, which was following the
- 10:19SpaceX news, you had a very large jump
- 10:23the second that people thought, okay,
- 10:26this must be over. We finally got the
- 10:28confirmation that compute demand is off
- 10:29the charts, and Elon's coming to the to
- 10:32to the rescue. um it it immediately went
- 10:35back down the next day, but yeah,
- 10:36Bitcoin has just held in there. And if I
- 10:38tell people the damage that's been done
- 10:39to hedge funds, I mean, this is a
- 10:42historic month, more so than even July,
- 10:45believe it or not. This is much bigger
- 10:47month than July was.
- 10:49>> Negative for hedge funds.
- 10:50>> Yes. And and that's because of the
- 10:52breath of the the damage. Um, before I
- 10:56get into the expanding breath and the
- 10:58contagion within the hedge fun, I do I
- 10:59do want to um
- 11:01add to something you said because I do
- 11:04agree that people like Chimoth that have
- 11:07a huge listener base, it's good for
- 11:10people to say the things that he said as
- 11:12part of the process cuz he also fits
- 11:14into
- 11:16something Mark Andre said. Uh, if you
- 11:18ask me the smartest person, the person
- 11:22that I will listen to no matter what,
- 11:24who I believe brings to the table an
- 11:26incredible knowledge of history, a
- 11:29relaxed, you know, response with no
- 11:32hyperbole. I I Mark Andre is number one
- 11:36for me. Okay. I can listen to him
- 11:38endlessly.
- 11:39>> Uh,
- 11:39>> he's very smart.
- 11:41>> Yeah. And he's not selling anything. Um,
- 11:43what's the biggest problem with Jensen
- 11:45Yuang? At the end of the day, he's
- 11:46talking his book. What's the biggest
- 11:47problem with with Elon Musk? He's
- 11:49talking his book. And this is a big
- 11:50negative for everyone. When I go through
- 11:52X, like if people attack me, it's cuz he
- 11:55he's talking his book.
- 11:57>> Um
- 11:58>> I never talk my book.
- 12:00>> Yes.
- 12:02>> Sylvia.com.
- 12:03>> Go ahead.
- 12:04>> Um what Mark said on the podcast, which
- 12:07is something I believe in, but it's the
- 12:10reason that I got involved in Bitcoin in
- 12:12the first place. I've told this story
- 12:14before, but you have to understand when
- 12:15my 13-year-old son had turned $700 into
- 12:19$80,000, subsequently losing all of it,
- 12:22okay? Which I say repeatedly, I knew
- 12:25there was a bubble in 2021, but it also
- 12:28told me that there was something here
- 12:30because when I asked him how he did
- 12:32this,
- 12:34it was really intelligent. And when you
- 12:36normalize it for a 13-year-old, I
- 12:38realized that the gaming that he was
- 12:39really good at was adding to his ability
- 12:41to go use Reddit and Twitter and do
- 12:43research and do this. He was adapting to
- 12:46the times and he believed in Bitcoin. He
- 12:48didn't believe in the S&P 500. Now, that
- 12:50age bracket, it's still the same. What
- 12:52Mark talked about on the podcast, the
- 12:54A16Z Frontier podcast was he said there
- 12:57is an age bracket for technology that
- 13:00has been there and I forget the book
- 13:03that he referenced but he basically said
- 13:05the way it goes is up until you know 15
- 13:09to 25
- 13:11it's just part of your life and that's
- 13:13where my son was. So let's assume
- 13:14whatever the age was 13 to 21. It's just
- 13:17part of your life. Like crypto is just
- 13:19you know it. AI is something you just
- 13:21know. Then from 25 to 35,
- 13:25you're focused on AI from making money.
- 13:27That's where my son is kind of now is
- 13:29figuring out how he's going to set his
- 13:30life up job-wise with using this
- 13:32technology. And then above 35, you view
- 13:36it as evil. Any new technology. And that
- 13:39is the whole point about whether it's
- 13:40crypto, whether it's Bitcoin or whether
- 13:42it's AI. That is why people are perma
- 13:44bears on AI. There is zero doubt that AI
- 13:49is the inevitable part of our lives.
- 13:51Like there's no question about it. It's
- 13:54where all the investments are going. And
- 13:55if the investments are going there, you
- 13:57can have corrections. You can even have
- 13:59the.com bubble where you get a 4-year
- 14:01delay between the bottom and then the
- 14:06iPhone. But it's coming. Like there's no
- 14:08way to get around it. It's going to
- 14:08solve healthcare, all these different
- 14:10issues. So I think when you really break
- 14:12down what you just talked about and
- 14:14where it goes, there is an element of
- 14:16the age thing and Chimath is in that age
- 14:18bracket where psychologically he's
- 14:20already made his money. He has no reason
- 14:21to believe in in Bitcoin. There's
- 14:23nothing there for him. And as Michael
- 14:24Sailor said, you don't find Bitcoin,
- 14:27Bitcoin finds you. Now, let's go back to
- 14:29the point on the hedge fund side in
- 14:31France this week. We saw a mass, and
- 14:34this has gone on now for seven weeks, a
- 14:36massive blowout.
- 14:38careful careful what words you use.
- 14:42>> You talk about the financial market or
- 14:43the streets.
- 14:45>> True, true, true. Um, we'll leave the
- 14:47the social aspect alone, but you have
- 14:51French bond yields versus German bond
- 14:55yields or versus the swap curve without
- 14:58getting too wonky blowing out, which
- 15:00basically means the unwind of a carry
- 15:02trade. So if you were long French bond
- 15:05yields and you were short German von you
- 15:08were getting a spread that was let's say
- 15:10125 basis points if you just carried it.
- 15:12So as long as France doesn't default and
- 15:15you carry it for a long time and this
- 15:17was happening across the curve you make
- 15:18money well and you do with leverage.
- 15:20>> Yes. And that started to unwind. We
- 15:23started seeing news articles come out
- 15:24but it has really accelerated this week.
- 15:26In fact, the first four days of this
- 15:30week were just the biggest week, even
- 15:32bigger than the EU crisis week back in
- 15:352011 2012, that whole period there. So,
- 15:38you had that, you had the core debt, so
- 15:40you had credit that had unwound. The
- 15:42reason that's important is all of the
- 15:44big multistrats that you get to see, you
- 15:46know, in that are 100red billion,
- 15:48whatever, and they're levered 20 times,
- 15:50say, so you're dealing with trillions of
- 15:53dollars of they're dependent on
- 15:57if one asset breaks down, it doesn't
- 15:59really matter because you have
- 16:0150 other strategies that could make
- 16:03money. Relative arbitrage, add deletes,
- 16:05all kinds of different things. But when
- 16:07credit gets hit, fixed income bonds get
- 16:10hit, regions get hit, the diversity, the
- 16:14diversification benefits drop down and
- 16:16you end up seeing what you've seen. And
- 16:18Goldman Sachs reported last week that
- 16:23since 2020 after co there had only been
- 16:273 days that the major strategies so long
- 16:31short equity
- 16:32uh quant and then multistrats were down
- 16:36more than 80 basit points in one day.
- 16:38All three strategies so at least 80
- 16:40basis it happened three times since co
- 16:42all three of those were this year. Well,
- 16:45we had another one on Thursday of this
- 16:47week. This one was greater than 1% for
- 16:50each of them. So, that just means that
- 16:52this is not just long short equity. This
- 16:54is everything going at the same time.
- 16:56And I mentioned that this reminds me of
- 16:57LTCM. It does. It also reminds me of the
- 17:00quant back in August of 2007. So, I
- 17:02bring that up because as people are
- 17:04watching like what's happening and
- 17:06going, why why are these semiconductor
- 17:08stocks down? And I saw something today
- 17:10that the best performing stocks this
- 17:12year, the 20 best performing stocks were
- 17:14down yesterday, like 5 to 10%. And when
- 17:18you go look at the they're still up like
- 17:20100 plus%. And most of these are the AI
- 17:22names. So I'm telling everyone
- 17:23listening, number one, I did a video on
- 17:25this. This is not a bubble. AI is not a
- 17:27bubble. It's inevitable. End of story.
- 17:29Um, there can be delays and there can be
- 17:32hiccups. And here's the thing, there are
- 17:34no free lunches. And I remember I said
- 17:35this to you back in May and June on on
- 17:37on videos. people can go look them up on
- 17:39their own. There are no free lunches in
- 17:41markets. Markets go up and then they
- 17:43correct. And so far, the S&P 500 is
- 17:46still up over 12% year to date. And we
- 17:49just had a massive unwind. I don't know
- 17:51when this is officially going to end,
- 17:53but I will say that yesterday felt
- 17:55exactly like situational awareness day
- 17:57because it started right after the close
- 18:00on Wednesday. I pick my phone up and as
- 18:02I do before I kind of start getting
- 18:04ready for bed, I look to see where the
- 18:06S&P futures were and there was no reason
- 18:08for them to be down close to 30 handles,
- 18:11which says to me there was a fund that
- 18:13was in trouble and we're just kind of
- 18:15going through this thing. I think we're
- 18:17near the end of it. If not, I gave the
- 18:19dates that I thought for people would be
- 18:21the catalyst. One is when we get through
- 18:22the the hyperscalers. We went through
- 18:24meta. Nothing bad came out in there, but
- 18:26it's still sold off. um we have the
- 18:28hyperscalers and then we have the
- 18:30midterms and we have the quarterly
- 18:32refunding announcement. Those will be
- 18:33the three areas. So I think the low for
- 18:35this AI portion will happen with inside
- 18:38the next two weeks. Today's episode is
- 18:40brought to you by Arch Public. Arch
- 18:41Public has just expanded its agentic
- 18:43trading platform beyond crypto. So pay
- 18:45attention. This is a big one. Now they
- 18:47are automating strategies across stocks,
- 18:49commodities, and ETFs. And I think that
- 18:51this is going to be huge. You can now
- 18:53automatically take profits when one
- 18:54market hits new all-time highs and
- 18:56rotate that capital into other markets
- 18:58showing more opportunity. Whether you're
- 19:00rotating capital into AI stocks, gold,
- 19:02if you're investing in the S&P 500, or
- 19:04you're accumulating Bitcoin, Arch Public
- 19:06brings real discipline and automation to
- 19:08your investment strategy. Additionally,
- 19:10they've launched a powerful new tax loss
- 19:11harvesting tool. With crypto being so
- 19:13volatile and its exemption from the wash
- 19:15sale rule, Arch Public can offset gains
- 19:17with losses without compromising your
- 19:19long-term positions. It's exactly what
- 19:21every serious investor does.
- 19:23Institutional grade automation that
- 19:25works across every major asset class.
- 19:27There's no more emotional trading. No
- 19:28more missing tax opportunities. Just
- 19:30smarter, hands-free execution of your
- 19:32preferred strategies. Go to

- 19:39like. Then you can learn what automated
- 19:41trading can do for you. archpubic.com.
- 19:44I do think uh the uncertainty around the
- 19:46midterms, not uncertainty like
- 19:48fear-based, just like who's going to win
- 19:51naturally plays into this. Plus, you get
- 19:53the AI fears and so it's very clear
- 19:55there's like a bunch of clouds, if you
- 19:56will. The second the midterms occur, the
- 19:59clouds will part, the sun will come up
- 20:01into the end of the year, uh likely as
- 20:02strong. Um, you mentioned AI is
- 20:05inevitable and uh I've been thinking a
- 20:07lot. So maybe I will uh uh debut my new
- 20:11uh um phrase for the next couple of
- 20:14years. AI is smarter than you, smarter
- 20:18than me, smarter than everybody
- 20:20watching. We have officially reached
- 20:22that point.
- 20:22>> It's smarter than hedge fund managers
- 20:24too.
- 20:24>> 100%. Yeah,
- 20:26>> that is the 0ero to one moment that
- 20:29every single thing in my world view I
- 20:32have updated in the last 3 to 4 months
- 20:35on the premise that AI is now smarter
- 20:37than me. So how do I give it as much
- 20:40context as possible? How do products
- 20:41change? How do asset prices change? How
- 20:43does the funding rate change? What do
- 20:45hedge funds do? All this stuff now boils
- 20:48down to AI is smarter. I always say that
- 20:52investors get one idea in their entire
- 20:54life to invest on and they just expose
- 20:56it over and over again. Warren Buffett
- 20:58buy things for less than they're worth.
- 20:59He just did it a bunch of times and
- 21:00built an incredible amount of wealth.
- 21:02You know, if you go and you look at the
- 21:04rent tech guys, there's math and there's
- 21:06inefficiencies, all this stuff. You just
- 21:07go invest in I think that our entire
- 21:10generation, the one big idea is they're
- 21:12never going to stop printing money. I
- 21:14think a 1A now though is there is now
- 21:16technology that is going to be way
- 21:18smarter than us. It's already smarter
- 21:20than us, but it's only going to get
- 21:21worse.
- 21:22I AI pill a boomer this week, and I want
- 21:27to tell you uh some of the details
- 21:29because it actually had more of an
- 21:31impact on me than it did on them.
- 21:34There's an individual that I know, a
- 21:35piece of commercial real estate. They're
- 21:37trying to sell it. They've been trying
- 21:37to sell it for a while. And I they kind
- 21:40of every once in a while when I talk to
- 21:42them, they mention it and I say, you
- 21:43know, let me try to help you. So, I took
- 21:45the address and I put it into Grockbot
- 21:47and I said, "Hey, this thing hasn't
- 21:50sold. I want to try to sell it in the
- 21:51next 45 days. Come up with a plan, do
- 21:54the research, you know, all the things
- 21:55you would expect." It did what you would
- 21:57look at. It went and it found comps and
- 21:59it built the whole plan, whatever. And
- 22:00then it did something that I would have
- 22:02never personally thought to do. It went
- 22:04and it looked through all of the local
- 22:06real estate like land uh sales and it
- 22:10gave me a target list of people who have
- 22:12been buying up land in that area and
- 22:15said you might want to just call these
- 22:17people and see if they're interested.
- 22:19And I literally it was like a whoa and I
- 22:22called up this person and I said hey
- 22:26look at how smart I am. I have this list
- 22:29and then I eventually told him I said
- 22:30the AI created it. And so I've been
- 22:34thinking about this one moment where I'm
- 22:36like, how many people do you know who
- 22:38have ever listed any piece of real
- 22:40estate, residential, commercial,
- 22:41whatever, have ever thought maybe I
- 22:43should go build a target list to do
- 22:45outbound sales for the real estate.
- 22:47That's not something that you just like
- 22:48train on. And so the reason I say that
- 22:50is this idea of like AI is inevitable.
- 22:53Well, like if it's smarter than us and
- 22:54it can do things like that, then
- 22:56actually the race is not like just the
- 22:59hyperscalers and building and all this
- 23:01for people who are not involved in those
- 23:02businesses. It's actually how much
- 23:04penetration can you get AI into your
- 23:07life? How much are you going to use it?
- 23:10And the people who get there first,
- 23:12they're actually the ones who are going
- 23:13to be most successful and have the most
- 23:15productivity and all stuff.
- 23:17>> But investing wise, let's just shrink it
- 23:19down to that investing world.
- 23:21>> I know some people who use checkp claude
- 23:24whatever Google on steroids I think you
- 23:27use it much more advanced than that but
- 23:30there's somebody out there who's created
- 23:31a you know AI agent hedge fund that's
- 23:33trying to day trade whatever the further
- 23:36along that curve you get the better your
- 23:38return should be the better your
- 23:39finances should be and it just feels
- 23:42like when you view the world that way
- 23:44the people who are like AI is a bubble
- 23:47AI is not going to happen
- 23:49>> they kind of just sound stupid right
- 23:52like It's it's like so far behind. It's
- 23:54such a dinosaur world. What are we
- 23:56talking about?
- 23:57>> All right. So, let me give you two um
- 23:59forks on on this topic. And I think this
- 24:02is important. In fact, I'm going to
- 24:03direct it towards the parents.
- 24:06Um,
- 24:08so first I'm going to use a conversation
- 24:09I had with a friend of mine uh who I
- 24:12hadn't seen in a decade was in town and
- 24:16this person uh close to 40 decided to go
- 24:20back to school went to law school. So
- 24:24my first question was so how is school
- 24:28you know what Harvey is? And the person
- 24:30said yeah they were in the tech field.
- 24:32Okay. Yeah I know what Harvey is. Okay.
- 24:35um how's that impacting the way you view
- 24:37since you know it, how is this school,
- 24:39which is a really good school in New
- 24:41York,
- 24:41>> Mhm.
- 24:42>> dealing with this issue?
- 24:45>> And the person said it's it's
- 24:47incredible. It's almost like they're
- 24:50ignoring it,
- 24:52but to make it worse, and I I've I heard
- 24:55I've heard a lot of stuff. I've never
- 24:56heard this. Before they enter the
- 24:59classroom, they have to they can't enter
- 25:02with any technology.
- 25:04No phones, excuse me, no laptops, no
- 25:07nothing.
- 25:09>> This is what they've come up with at the
- 25:10schools.
- 25:11>> This is a law school.
- 25:12>> This is a prominent law school that
- 25:15every single person listening to this
- 25:16know. So, I don't want to get into the
- 25:18conversation because number one, I trust
- 25:20this person implicitly. And they didn't
- 25:21do it for any other reason. In fact,
- 25:24completely the opposite. This person is
- 25:25I only hang around with people that are
- 25:27very down to earth and can have deep
- 25:28emotional conversations and really enjoy
- 25:30the topic of where things are going. And
- 25:32this was literally like, "No, they don't
- 25:34know how to handle it. This is their
- 25:35solution. Their solution is we can't
- 25:39police it." And I understand why because
- 25:41recording devices, you don't need the
- 25:43professor anymore.
- 25:46>> You just have AI listen to it and then
- 25:48you're taking away the whole thing. But
- 25:49also, you don't know whose work is done.
- 25:52And my first response was, you know,
- 25:55who's going to know people that didn't
- 25:57do any work? the people that hire the
- 26:00person, the people like if you're not
- 26:03using AI in a creative way to get back
- 26:05to your point,
- 26:07you're making a this is what schools are
- 26:09doing to kids. Okay, this is
- 26:12unacceptable. Like this is unbelievable.
- 26:14>> You're making them raw dog classroom.
- 26:16That's crazy.
- 26:17>> Okay, we're we're teaching. You guys
- 26:19have to memorize.
- 26:20>> Y'all crazy out there.
- 26:21>> Um no phone. I'm surprised it's not
- 26:24withdrawal happened in the classroom.
- 26:26So, let me take what you did and connect
- 26:28it back to that same son I mentioned
- 26:30who's no longer 13. Okay? He's now a
- 26:35junior in college.
- 26:37So, as you go through this whole thing
- 26:40and you listen to what he's saying, so
- 26:41he's on an internship.
- 26:43>> Mhm. that internship.
- 26:46He tells me how excited he gets whenever
- 26:48there's a meeting because he enters the
- 26:51meeting and all he does is listen to the
- 26:54problems and he leaves with a ton of
- 26:57ideas because his goal is to please the
- 27:00people by solving their ideas with
- 27:02agentic workflows.
- 27:04>> Grock's just built the solution by the
- 27:05time the meeting's over.
- 27:06>> But and that he's been doing this now
- 27:09since July.
- 27:10>> Yeah.
- 27:11>> They don't want him to go back to
- 27:12school. He and I are talking about
- 27:13whether it makes sense for him to go
- 27:15back to school and finish up or not.
- 27:17>> If you don't allow your kids to use it,
- 27:19and this is the beauty of it, this whole
- 27:21like reverse engineering now,
- 27:24>> if your brain doesn't work when you hear
- 27:26something, you go, I can make money off
- 27:28that. I can make money off that. And
- 27:29you're trying to graduate with a degree
- 27:31where you're going to make money by
- 27:32graduating and being one of like those
- 27:34days are over. That is not the way this
- 27:36is going to work. And if you listen to
- 27:38what the A16Z podcast talk about, Mark
- 27:42literally said the gap between AI native
- 27:44companies and the incumbents has never
- 27:46been wider. Like it just keeps getting
- 27:49further apart. So you don't want your
- 27:52kids to go to one of these incumbent
- 27:54places. You actually want them to have
- 27:56these entrepreneurial skills that you're
- 27:57describing and create an idea that can
- 28:00monetize and turn into something. If
- 28:01you're a lawyer, you want to embrace
- 28:05using Harvey because Harvey can't
- 28:06replace all lawyers, but it can
- 28:08certainly speed up the process of being
- 28:10a great lawyer. I have a lot of ideas on
- 28:14what to do with my business cuz I think
- 28:16content keeps going up in value just
- 28:18like sports teams. But let me rephrase
- 28:21it. Good content. Content where you're
- 28:24actually trying to teach the people.
- 28:26You're trying to not scare the people
- 28:28and you're actually trying to get them
- 28:29to be empowered. I actually think
- 28:31there's value to that which is why I
- 28:32started to do this. I think when you
- 28:34start thinking about the issues and how
- 28:36you can leverage AI into your business,
- 28:38you start to get more empowered, but you
- 28:40also start to get a realization that
- 28:42there's infinite amounts of ideas of
- 28:44problems that need to be solved. And the
- 28:46reason is because most people don't use
- 28:48AI. It is also um I've been thinking a
- 28:52lot about active versus passive usage.
- 28:55So active usage is like I go to chatbt
- 28:57and I ask it a question. I had to type.
- 28:59Passive usage is every meeting is
- 29:02recorded. The AI takes the transcript,
- 29:04creates notes, emails the notes to
- 29:06everybody and uh then stores it
- 29:09somewhere so it can be referenced as
- 29:10context later.
- 29:12The passive usage to me is where most of
- 29:15the magic is. We see this with the
- 29:17proactivity of instinct, muse, dots, you
- 29:21know, Grockbot, whatever. And so as the
- 29:24world shifts more and more to the
- 29:26technology being available in a passive
- 29:28manner but like it's like passive plus
- 29:30automation
- 29:31>> you start thinking inside these
- 29:33businesses like we are going to just
- 29:35have autonomy like like it is going to
- 29:38become this autonomous thing inside of a
- 29:39company. Now there's a couple other
- 29:42things that I think are uh fascinating.
- 29:43I've told you before that um
- 29:46we have more agents that work at the
- 29:49public company than we do people. Right.
- 29:52Okay. I don't think that that's
- 29:53something for us to like beat our chest
- 29:54about. I think like that's becoming
- 29:55prevalent across a lot of companies. But
- 29:58recently uh we started thinking about
- 30:01okay we've been using most of the agents
- 30:02for analytics engineering you know
- 30:04things that are more uh kind of
- 30:06productivity and like product based
- 30:09now we're thinking about finance and
- 30:10operations. And so I went to finance
- 30:13operations folks I said hey what would
- 30:14you like? They started coming up with
- 30:16all kinds of use cases that I would have
- 30:18never thought of. And I said you know
- 30:20what's interesting? What if I just take
- 30:22what was essentially a brainstorm and I
- 30:24just feed it into you know whether it's
- 30:25Grockbox or something else and then I
- 30:26ask it
- 30:27>> ideas like this but make more of them
- 30:30you know like what else could we do it
- 30:32started coming up with a bunch more and
- 30:33like you just realize you're like wait a
- 30:34second here there is this very weird
- 30:38like relationship between the human and
- 30:39the machine where you're just going back
- 30:41and forth back and forth that then if
- 30:43you bring this back to the investor in
- 30:45the portfolio
- 30:47I have a portfolio I hear the bears
- 30:49yelling and screaming And there all
- 30:51kinds of things from interest rates,
- 30:52inflation to, you know, capex spending,
- 30:55whatever.
- 30:56But I talked to Dan Ies this week. He
- 30:59went to Korea and I asked him, I said,
- 31:01"What would your message to the bears
- 31:02be?" And he said, "Go to Korea." He
- 31:05said, "Go see the demand.
- 31:08You're saying look at what everyone is
- 31:10saying from the demand side." And so I
- 31:12just am separating the world out. Like
- 31:14there are people who are demand driven
- 31:15and that's what they're looking at and
- 31:16they're like, "How could we possibly be
- 31:18in a bubble? How can we possibly have
- 31:19this go to zero? And then there's people
- 31:21who are like, did you see how much money
- 31:23met Meta spent?
- 31:24>> And you're like, you kind of need the
- 31:26demand side of the equation to know
- 31:28whether this is a bubble or not. Right?
- 31:31>> So, I'm going to take a weird direction
- 31:32on on what you just said. And and I
- 31:37don't know how much I' I've brought this
- 31:38up, but um so let's use this proactive
- 31:41reactive thing. Okay.
- 31:43>> So, here's um a scenario that I'll
- 31:45equate to the relationship between
- 31:48AI and your life and how to use it in a
- 31:52way or a similar way to help people use
- 31:56their relationship with their therapist.
- 31:58Today's episode is brought to you by

- 34:06here's um a scenario that I'll equate to
- 34:09the relationship between AI and your
- 34:13life and how to use it in a way or a
- 34:16similar way to how people use their
- 34:19relationship with their therapist.
- 34:22Okay. So when I was very young, I read
- 34:26something and if I read a quote in
- 34:28anything and this is the reason why when
- 34:30I was younger, I would read the great
- 34:32thinkers of the world.
- 34:33>> Was it a book?
- 34:35>> Uh it probably was an excerpt in a book.
- 34:39Like to give you an idea, Ralph Waldo
- 34:40Emerson, life is a succession of lessons
- 34:43which must be lived to be understood.
- 34:44That grabbed me and I've I've I've
- 34:46memorized it. I say it all the time.
- 34:48There are certain things like that that
- 34:50that grab me. But one of the things was
- 34:54you can't love others until you love
- 34:57yourself. And I really thought about
- 34:59that and that got me into Freud. It got
- 35:02me into why would I have any chip on my
- 35:06shoulder towards my parents? What what
- 35:08is that about? What does that mean? Why
- 35:09is it driving me? Because I'm a very
- 35:11driven person still to this age. And a
- 35:14lot of it comes from my relationship
- 35:15with my father. And so I wanted to
- 35:18understand that because I wanted to love
- 35:20who I was at a young age, but I also
- 35:22wanted to make sure that I had no the
- 35:24chip was not anger. It was just
- 35:26gratitude. I wanted to turn it in there.
- 35:28So that led to me spending a lot of time
- 35:31with Sigman Freud and and evolving into
- 35:34other of the great psychologists/
- 35:37psychiatrists and I still believe
- 35:39psychology is a really important part in
- 35:41the markets. Charlie Munger, Warren
- 35:43Buffett. I view them as market
- 35:45psychologists as as much as anything. I
- 35:47wanted to learn from those those types
- 35:48of people. Um, and that gets me back to
- 35:51the relationship that I think people
- 35:53should be building with AI. And there's
- 35:55a very easy way to do what you said. I
- 35:57think with personal agents, with Muse
- 36:00right now, if people haven't done this,
- 36:03I want you whatever time of the week is
- 36:06import is is free for you. 8:00 on on
- 36:08Friday morning or 4:00 on Friday
- 36:11afternoon, Saturday morning at 6,
- 36:14whatever time is free.
- 36:16Have Muse at the end at that time every
- 36:19week ask you
- 36:2210 questions
- 36:24about
- 36:26are you happy with your life? Are you
- 36:27happy with your workout? Are you happy
- 36:28with your diet? Are you happy with work?
- 36:30Are you happy? Like, and just say it.
- 36:33Get it out. And then it can run off. in
- 36:35the goal and you could say the goal is
- 36:36for you to hear what I'm saying and then
- 36:38come back with things that could make we
- 36:41can improve on this literally like a
- 36:43brainstorming session not with a
- 36:44therapist but with someone that
- 36:46understands your life. The more that you
- 36:48do this and get used to this I think
- 36:50you're going to start to realize if it's
- 36:52your business like you're talking about
- 36:54and I have a business that I'm building
- 36:55and I'm very excited about where it can
- 36:57go. I'm very excited to help people
- 37:01embrace this. I did something last
- 37:03weekend on or two last week on
- 37:05compounding and describing why why a
- 37:07construction worker son whose father
- 37:09didn't go to graduate high school got
- 37:11into the markets. Why did that happen?
- 37:14Well, it happened because my math brain
- 37:16was really good. My father taught me
- 37:17well in probabilities. But it really
- 37:18happened for one reason. I got a book
- 37:21and on one page of the book, it said if
- 37:23you double a penny every day, it's $10.7
- 37:24million. And I went whoa. And the power
- 37:27of compounding is one of the coolest
- 37:28things in the world. and compounding
- 37:31with AI is vital in your life. Now, if
- 37:34you believe it's a bubble, by
- 37:36definition, you're losing the
- 37:37compounding nature of both from an
- 37:39investment standpoint and a usage
- 37:40standpoint. Plain and simple. It is
- 37:42compounding at a pace never before seen
- 37:44in technology. So, that power of
- 37:46compounding that I identified as a young
- 37:48kid when I was 16 years old that drove
- 37:50me into this who didn't know what he was
- 37:52going to do. He just knew he didn't want
- 37:53to do construction work. He wanted to be
- 37:55a compounder. Then you learn Moore's law
- 37:58and what's Moore's law? exponential
- 37:59compounding. It's the exact same thing
- 38:01as the penny doubled. In fact, most
- 38:03books with technology. So, if you're
- 38:05messing with your future of your kids
- 38:08because you believe AI is a bubble when
- 38:10it's an inevitability that it will be
- 38:11part of our life and that it'll be
- 38:13disrupting the people who don't embrace
- 38:14it, I think the first step to leverage
- 38:16what you said is take AI and make it a
- 38:19life coach. Make it a life coach asking
- 38:22you the same questions every week and
- 38:23it'll remind you, did you do what we
- 38:25said last week? And I won't go through
- 38:27the things I've already done that with,
- 38:28but in particular, I get hyperfocused
- 38:31on, hey, I want to improve my health a
- 38:33little bit this week. What science will
- 38:35do this? Those types of things to me are
- 38:38really important for people to embrace.
- 38:39So, I'm I'm going to leverage what you
- 38:40said and just say this is somewhat like
- 38:41therapy.
- 38:43>> I love this idea because um it is human
- 38:46in the loop like recursive learning.
- 38:48Yeah.
- 38:48>> Right. And um
- 38:50>> and compounding of every week going
- 38:51through it, the routine of it.
- 38:53>> Correct. And I I do think that um
- 38:56every uh every week I put together a
- 38:59company update and in it I want to make
- 39:02sure that we talk about what we did in
- 39:03the past week, what we're going to do in
- 39:04the next week. Not that rocket science,
- 39:08but every morning I put priorities into
- 39:11Slack to a certain group of people and I
- 39:13basically say here's all the things I
- 39:15got to work on. And some days it's
- 39:16longer than others, but I put it all in
- 39:17there. And what I have found is it's
- 39:19really helpful for me at the beginning
- 39:20of the day to write down here's things
- 39:22I'm going to work on. But then at the
- 39:23end of the week I say hey Grock go
- 39:26through that thread and pull all the
- 39:28things that we got done this week.
- 39:30>> Magic. And you do that week after week
- 39:32after week and hey for the month or the
- 39:34quarter or you know whatever. And so
- 39:35you're just feeding it information as
- 39:37you go. Now we're talking about
- 39:39corporate applications of this stuff or
- 39:42personal applications. There are two
- 39:44companies this week that came out that I
- 39:45want to talk about. First is Warp
- 39:47Sciences.
- 39:48>> Before you do this, I just want to
- 39:49interact sec for for 30 seconds. The
- 39:53thread, I want to get people off of this
- 39:56thing cuz I think it freaks people out
- 39:57cuz then they have they have so many
- 39:58threads, they're trying to go find it.
- 40:00Muse is built for memory. It is the best
- 40:04model out there right now for memory.
- 40:06They spent the time to release it
- 40:07because it needs to have memory. I use
- 40:09Muse a ton right now because it
- 40:12remembers everything, my recipes. And so
- 40:14I don't need to go back and find the
- 40:16thread. And even though I know you were
- 40:17just saying that because you can do the
- 40:18same thing with Grockbot, I just want to
- 40:20remind people if you've had frustrations
- 40:22with finding that thread because that's
- 40:25where the memory is and that's where
- 40:26you've been doing that conversation. You
- 40:27don't need to do that with Muse. Go.
- 40:29>> So I'll take it a step further actually.
- 40:31uh if people want actionable things of
- 40:32what to do with their AI, let's say
- 40:35you're using Muse and let's just say
- 40:37you've never used another AI ever before
- 40:38as your first kind of experience. As
- 40:41you're communicating with it, it's
- 40:43saving all that stuff in memory, but
- 40:45then all of a sudden Anthropics Duet
- 40:47comes out or dots or Grockbot or you
- 40:49know whatever. One of the very simple
- 40:51things you can do is you can basically
- 40:53say to whatever AI you use, hey, I want
- 40:56to have a backup of your memory and we
- 41:00can do it in Google Drive, we can do it
- 41:01in notion, we can do it in Obsidian. Uh
- 41:03drove files is something that we built,
- 41:05right? Whatever. I want at the end of
- 41:08every day or every week for you to take
- 41:09all of the new information that you've
- 41:10saved in your memory and I simply want
- 41:12you to write it to the backup. And then
- 41:15if something new comes out, you could
- 41:16say, "Hey, by the way, rather than me
- 41:18sit here and tell you all this new
- 41:19information that I previously had told
- 41:21you, just reference that notion
- 41:23document, that Google drive, whatever."
- 41:25The people who have done this are like,
- 41:26"Now I can actually use four or five of
- 41:29these different things cuz Muse is
- 41:30really good at A, B, and C. This other
- 41:32one's really good at this other thing,
- 41:33but they all have shared memory, and
- 41:34they're constantly feeding it back." And
- 41:36actually, the memory becomes the really
- 41:38important part, right?
- 41:39>> Yep. And so, let's take a step. Everyone
- 41:41has heard how good for you a daily
- 41:43journal is. So, let's just like what
- 41:46what what went on. Um, no, there's a
- 41:48lot. I mean, writing down your thoughts,
- 41:50>> having a gratitude diary, which I mean,
- 41:52I keep track of the things I'm grateful
- 41:54for. This started after 9/11. Like, I
- 41:56had to do a eulogy on my best friend.
- 41:58And my thought was, I have to turn this
- 42:00into gratitude that I got to know this
- 42:02person at all and the impact I had on my
- 42:04life.
- 42:04>> So, when people died, it became less
- 42:06about the tragedy and more about
- 42:09focusing on the gratitude. And that's
- 42:10what helped me get through it in that
- 42:12way. So if you go in muse at the end of
- 42:14every day for a minute and just say this
- 42:16is what I'm grateful for today plus this
- 42:19is what I want to remember that happened
- 42:20today.
- 42:22Then in a month if you go back and say
- 42:24hey will you go through the daily
- 42:26journal and just take the last 30 days
- 42:29what have I said like what's the
- 42:30progress of what's gone on in my life
- 42:32what have I talked about repeatedly is
- 42:34there anything with inside the insights
- 42:36I'm just telling people that doing that
- 42:38type of stuff is going to become the
- 42:40norm and being able to be happy again if
- 42:44you don't love yourself
- 42:46>> you'll love the AI
- 42:46>> you can't love others and this is where
- 42:48I really do believe that technology has
- 42:50made people not like themselves as much
- 42:52as they should and I think there's a lot
- 42:54more anger in the world and I do believe
- 42:56that as time goes on technology will
- 42:57have if you use it to help you and help
- 43:01you all these things your health your
- 43:05finances your job but most importantly
- 43:08if you become optimistic right now and
- 43:11empowered
- 43:12you're ahead of 99% of the people as far
- 43:14as I'm concerned
- 43:15>> 100% I I could not agree more don't fall
- 43:18in love with the AI is my only warning
- 43:20it's like you know smoking can cause
- 43:22cancer.
- 43:23Talking too much to the AI about
- 43:25personal feelings could uh make you fall
- 43:26in love. Um I don't know. I'm not
- 43:29speaking from personal experience. Um
- 43:32Warp Sciences.
- 43:34So Kevin Wheel, uh amazing guy, a great
- 43:37entrepreneur and operator. Uh he was the
- 43:39former chief product officer at OpenAI.
- 43:41He has now started a company where he
- 43:43basically wants to be at the forefront
- 43:45of AI, biotech, healthcare, etc. You've
- 43:48been talking a lot about this. Um is
- 43:50one. And then two, war hounds.
- 43:54Palmer Lucky and uh this biotech company
- 43:58uh that's been working on animals.
- 44:00They're collaborating and they are
- 44:02creating war hounds which is they're
- 44:03going to create genetically modified
- 44:06dogs to put on the battlefield and
- 44:09Anderville is going to make them special
- 44:10gear. So, you know, it's pretty crazy.
- 44:14You're going to have genetically
- 44:15modified and amazing rabid war dogs that
- 44:18we then are going to put and gear on,
- 44:20including lasers and visuals and packs.
- 44:27I mean, this is where we're going.
- 44:28>> Sharks with laser beams. Is that what
- 44:29we're talking
- 44:30>> Listen, are you saying they're not real?
- 44:32Are you saying they're not real, Jordy?
- 44:34Come on. The uh I mean, but but if you
- 44:37start to look at some of these things,
- 44:38they all on oneoff, you're like, "Oh,
- 44:40okay. AI and biotech. Interesting. It's
- 44:44a nice company.
- 44:46>> Warhounds. Oh, Palmer's being a little
- 44:47crazy. Whatever.
- 44:50But wait a second. When you zoom out and
- 44:52you look at these companies, like we are
- 44:55in the economic boom. We are in the
- 44:57like, you know, there's the J curve
- 44:59where you're you're negative.
- 45:01>> Mhm.
- 45:01>> We're positive, baby. We we are up and
- 45:04to the right aggressively in terms of
- 45:06ambition, technology, innovation, the
- 45:08acceleration of these companies. These
- 45:09war hounds, by the way, you want to try
- 45:11to guess the valuation coming out of the
- 45:13gate?
- 45:14>> What is it?
- 45:15>> Billion.
- 45:16>> Yeah,
- 45:17>> the dogs are worth a billion.
- 45:19>> Um,
- 45:23so
- 45:23>> you want one of the genetically modified
- 45:25dogs?
- 45:25>> No. I'm going to give people two two
- 45:27good stories. Okay.
- 45:28>> Jordy walking around Brooklyn with a
- 45:30genetically modified war dog. At the
- 45:33very end of the A16Z podcast, probably
- 45:35the most important thing for people that
- 45:37I think everyone will raise their hand
- 45:38and say, "I want that immediately."
- 45:41What they said was, "This was not one of
- 45:43them. So, they've obviously seen this or
- 45:45they've heard it from someone
- 45:48is basically, we'll soon be able to
- 45:51understand what our animals and pets are
- 45:53saying to us." Okay? Convert their
- 45:55language into what's happening. So
- 45:59that's more of a rather than war dogs
- 46:01being able to understand your animals
- 46:03much more as far as I'm concerned for
- 46:05people out there cuz pets is a huge
- 46:06thing I can tell you Williamsburg it's
- 46:08it's very difficult to walk around
- 46:09Williamsburg and not see people's pets
- 46:11and what the pets do. So
- 46:12>> so imagine if you had a war dog he'd be
- 46:14the big dog of the block.
- 46:16>> Um the second thing I want to get back
- 46:18to something I've written about and I
- 46:20think is really important. So in this
- 46:21week of AI destruction
- 46:25a company made a new all-time high.
- 46:27valuation is quickly rising the ranks,
- 46:30especially relative to the other ones at
- 46:32the top of the list, and that would be
- 46:33Eli Liy.
- 46:33>> Come on, take your victory lap.
- 46:35>> No, no, no. It's not a victory lap yet
- 46:36until it's the biggest company in the
- 46:38United States of America, which I will
- 46:39continue to say will happen within 5
- 46:41years.
- 46:42>> You think it'll be bigger than Nvidia,
- 46:44all these guys,
- 46:44>> bigger than all of them. Um, and there's
- 46:46a reason, and this is the reason why
- 46:50what can't be disrupted the next 5 years
- 46:53is helping people get better. There's a
- 46:56very slow process that has to get in
- 46:58before human beings are allowed to take
- 47:00and ingest pills.
- 47:02>> Ompic has helped a lot of people in the
- 47:04country based on the fact that people
- 47:06are not going to die from diabetes and
- 47:10all types of other ailments or or things
- 47:13that it's had an impact in or growing.
- 47:15This weekend I will talk a lot about
- 47:17Toon Lab. I did a subscriber video this
- 47:19week where I highlighted but here's the
- 47:20thing. Eli Liy made new all-time highs
- 47:22this week. The S&P 1500 life sciences,
- 47:26biotech, and pharma index made new 52-
- 47:30week highs during a week where
- 47:32everything related to AI is going down.
- 47:35You know what the power of that is? The
- 47:37reason that Nvidia to me is seeing its
- 47:40multiple go down is because it will
- 47:42eventually
- 47:44be disrupted in some way.
- 47:45>> Mhm.
- 47:47>> In the next 5 years, I don't know, but
- 47:50the market's building in that it will be
- 47:51disrupted. If you ask me, they are the
- 47:53safest company to own. Do I think they
- 47:55will continue to go higher? It's one of
- 47:56my biggest longs. My biggest long as of
- 47:58right now is Eli Liy. Then we've got
- 48:01Nvidia. Then we've got Marll. So I have
- 48:03basically my AI trade.
- 48:05>> Marvel. Let's go speed it up. So what
- 48:07you have is the reason this is so
- 48:09important. We're getting to the point
- 48:11that people have to start to realize
- 48:12that when they worry about energy prices
- 48:15like oil, okay, energy of personal
- 48:18consumption is now less than 3%.
- 48:23Healthcare is 20 plus%. It's about 22 to
- 48:2623 depending on how you go through the
- 48:28measurement. It's non-yclical. It's
- 48:30funded by both the government and
- 48:32insurance companies that you work for.
- 48:33Meaning you get sick, you go, it's paid
- 48:35for. So that's why it's a non-yclical
- 48:38part. So it has the AI benefit of drug
- 48:41discovery of everything associated. It
- 48:44already is a massive it is the number
- 48:46one thing people spend on in the
- 48:48country. Number one, transfer home way
- 48:52lower, house, autos way lower. This was
- 48:54not the case 40 years ago. So during the
- 48:571970s when energy was a big deal, you go
- 49:00back and look at healthcare, it was
- 49:01nothing compared to your house and your
- 49:03home. So heating it and driving it was
- 49:06very very much related to energy in one
- 49:08part. It was also related to interest
- 49:10rates. Healthcare doesn't have that. So
- 49:13if you're worried about the AI buildout
- 49:14and the delays, get long the healthcare
- 49:16sector. And that's what you're starting
- 49:18to see is rotation into sectors that do
- 49:20not have cyclicality. Nvidia is still a
- 49:23cyclical company. Micron is still a
- 49:24cyclical company. If there's a delay, if
- 49:26there's an overpurchase of GPUs and we
- 49:28can't get the power, well then at some
- 49:30point Nvidia is not going to sell as
- 49:32many chips because people won't store
- 49:34them anymore. Right now there's a lot of
- 49:36places that have a lot of GPUs because
- 49:38they know they're going to need them in
- 49:395 years, four years, 3 years, 2 years.
- 49:41If we can't get the power done, then
- 49:43they don't happen. So I think on on the
- 49:46side of the breakthrough side, we are
- 49:48entering that period where the
- 49:50breakthroughs are going to start to
- 49:51become the place to invest because
- 49:53they're mispriced because pharmaceutical
- 49:56companies historically traded a very low
- 49:58multiple and the reason is cuz they're
- 50:00safe and they don't have any cyclicality
- 50:02meaning there's no growth. If these are
- 50:04becoming growth stocks, which Eli Liy
- 50:06has been, and for people who don't know
- 50:07this, you may not know this. Eli Liy has
- 50:10been up 10 years in a row. There's no
- 50:14tech companies that have done that. 10
- 50:16years in a row. Okay? So, none of the
- 50:18big tech companies, they were almost all
- 50:19of them were down in 2022. Not Eli Liy.
- 50:2110 years in a row. You know what its
- 50:23kager is over the 10 years? Over 30%.
- 50:26You've made a lot of money if you've
- 50:28just sat in Eli Liy purely based on
- 50:30Ozmpic. But I can lone
- 50:33>> I will say it again. Eli Lilly's cash
- 50:36cow allows them to do things like Toon
- 50:39Lab. I talked about Harvey. If people
- 50:41have now looked up Harvey and they're
- 50:42like, "Oh my gosh, this is where all the
- 50:44lawyers are coming together." Go look at
- 50:46what Toon Lab is and just see that they
- 50:48now have 135 different companies that
- 50:51are putting in information on their IP
- 50:54into this supercomput that Eli Liy set
- 50:57up so that all of them can benefit and
- 51:00collaborate like a Manhattan style
- 51:02project on the information to try and
- 51:04solve their we are going to solve a lot
- 51:06of different things going forward and
- 51:08this is going to be a big part of the
- 51:09next 5 years.
