How much founder mode did you do? You're saying that I popped an out? I need an out right now. Hold on. You don't need anything right now. Are you chewing it? What are you doing? No, you put this nicotine pouch, you upper deck it, releases it, and then you become a god. Is that the out that Tucker said you? Yeah, Tucker and I are going to do a crossover. Wait, did you work out a side hustle here? I haven't represented it to the group for a vote yet. You're preempting. Wait a second. Are you being paid for this plug right now? Yes, you're saying. If you use the promo code, J-Cal. Wait a second. promo code J-15. Okay, he broke up, which is good. Is he on drugs? Is he taking drugs? He's on drugs. No, I'm not on drugs. And he's doing a deal with drugs. This is like a PSA for not taking this stuff. You're so out of control. Do you take two of them? What are you doing? I thought the stuff relaxes you. What the hell is going on? Your internet's on the Fritz too. I fixed it. I fixed it. I fixed it. That was Putin's got my internet. Putin's got my internet. My god. What flavor are you eating? Or using. Today's chill, the man. Today's chill, the man. You don't see very chill. You see. This is the first time I've had a date in English.
No, I'm trying to get us back to that original all-in energy where we laughed and we had fun and we enjoyed each other's company. No, but J-Cal, seriously, do you have a side deal going on without right now? No, I don't have a deal. Yet, I don't know if I have a deal. There's no deal. I'm texting Tucker now just in cutting it. Go in all-in. Go in all-in. Go like your winner's ride. Bring man David Sack. Go in all-in. And I said we open-source it to the fans and they've just got a reason. Love you guys. I'm Queen of King Wild. I'm going all-in. All right, everybody. Welcome back to What Chanson From Nvidia Has Confirmed is the number one podcast in the world. Yes, the All-in podcast is here. We had an amazing time in DC last week. And we'll get into that. But hey, Freeberg, you crushed it on all those incredible speakers last week. Ten days you had to pull off that event, Freeberg, and you did it. Chamath and I just parachute it in to DC last week for the AI Summit. Sack's was busy working with Podas to get all those executive orders done. Take us behind the scenes, Freeberg. All of these incredible speakers. You got Lisa from AMD. You had to let Nick, I liked him. Best end, I liked him. We had to say no to a lot of tech company CEOs that found out about the event and wanted to speak on stage.
So there was a big kind of cutoff that we had to make around, making sure that we got our message across. I think if you watch the content, we talked briefly about it at the beginning. But the focus was really on trying to dispel the negative AI narrative and myth that AI is just here to destroy jobs because there's this big economic boom that's happening, both with respect to new industries that are emerging, which is why we showcase hate, rain, and others. But then also the infrastructure needed to support the AI race with data centers, chips, mining, and energy. And so we highlighted each of those four industries. And then the cabinet people found out about it and wanted to get involved. So we were unfortunately squeezing people on and off stage. It's kind of crazy to tell the secretary of treasury he has to get off the stage because he's passed his 20-minute allocation. But we had to line everything up so that the president could get his secret service detail to clear the stage and get set up in time. That's why we were rushing everyone. But man, what a week, what a rush. It was awesome. Thanks to David Sachs for the leadership and pulling it all together, bringing those folks to the table.
And Sachs congrats on getting your EOS sign and your action plan published. That was pretty cool. Pretty awesome to meet the president and meet all those cabinet members. And have all of this day come together because of the work you've been doing. How does it feel? Sachs, how are you doing in the afterglow there? I could see that you're in the afterglow. You sent me a picture of the four besties with our incredible 47th president. How are you feeling right now? I'm good to put that on the screen. I mean, we have it. I don't know if that's allowed to put that on the screen. I don't know what the protocol is. Yeah, I think we can. Yeah. I mean, I haven't gotten my picture. I did notice that I was unfortunately when they took the picture of the four of us with the president somehow I got cropped out by accident. I think maybe they were using a wide lens. What was it like for you to meet the president?
Because just for the audience, we all stood in line. And then we took a photo with the president backstage and then we did a photo with the four of us. But Jason, when you had your moment with the president, what did you say? Did you ask him about immigration? Did you have your photo, my lady? I have your photo with the president. Oh, do you have a cell phone? Did you bring up solar panels with him? Like what was your big moment all about? I didn't know we were taking a picture. That was like sprung on me. So I was like, oh, we're taking a picture. So my brother, Josh, who runs security for us, was like, they need you in the back to take a picture with the president. And I was like, yeah, I'm good. I got to prepare for some, you know, some, Oh, you were gonna pass? Well, I thought he was joking with me. So I was like, yeah, yeah, I'm good. I'm good. He's like, no, no, I'm serious. You're taking pictures with the president. I was like, we are? Okay. So I ran back and they put us in line.
And then I was like, I think I'm getting punked here because they kept repeating to me. Okay, Jason, you're last. You're last. And they, you know, and I know you guys like to put a new joke or two. So I, you know, I just got in line last. And it's obviously, you know, it's a big deal to take a picture with the president. So I didn't want to, you know, use that time inappropriately or anything. So I just said it's a pleasure to meet you. Just say it already. You like it. Just say it. Just, let's get it. Get to the end. You like him. You tried not to, you know, you're all Mr. fucking big shot, Mr. Big Talk. And then you got in front of him and you like him. Just say it. What I will say is, Jesus Christ. I'm just like him. What a joke. You're such a good. I had a great time. I had a great time predictable. You're a predictable goon. You know, you know, you don't even know what good is. Okay, stop, Riz. Stop or a farming.
You don't know what gooning is. Okay. I had a great time meeting him. It was a great event. You're a farming. Obviously, he's trying to get his Riz up to impress his kids. But it was great. And I didn't know what to do. Just say you're so good. And we can move on. What do you think of his speech? I can't give you a shout out. Jason or even after the president gave you a shout out. I don't know about love. He said, even Jason, how many times have you listened to that clip over and over? How many times? How many times have I been to people have you shared that with? How many times have you played with? I'm going to play the clip. I want to also say hello and thank you to Jamath and his wonderful wife, Nat. Thank you very much for being here. Thank you very much. It was great seeing you again. Great couple. David Friedberg and even as we know, Jason Gallicano. That's for you. I say even, thank you, Jason.
I'm very, very happy. I appreciate that. That is good person. I mean, it's a good person. He called you a good person. So here we are. What president's ever called you a good person before? Come on. I mean, it's obviously surreal for all of us, I think, to be this close to the administration and then for sacks to be part of it. What I will say is you have to give a lot of credit to this administration for the velocity they're going, what they're accomplishing, even if you disagree with certain items on the margins. And their ability to engage with leaders doing important work. And if we compare that to Biden and Kamala, like there weren't even letting people come to the White House.
Is this like a few like administration? I love the administration. I like Trump. This is a cabinet of CEOs. Let me just say this. I'm not in love with Trump. I'm in like with Trump. That's where I'm at. I'm not in love with Trump. I'm in like with Trump. But what better team has ever been put together? It is a cabinet of CEOs. It is a cabinet of managers. It's a cabinet of people who are not going to get done. And every time I go there, I'm impressed by this cabinet. I pull my hair out when I'm even going to be in contact.
You're pro-Trump. Finally, Friedberg, you've been splitting it. You've been dancing around the issue. Are you full 100% in support of Trump? You want to sit here and put me on the spot? I put you on the spot. I support my president. I support the president. Okay, so you voted for him and you love Trump. You voted for him and you love Trump. I love what he's doing and you voted for him. And I have issues with the spending and that's not been resolved. So like I said before.
Okay, great. Here we are folks. My full-throated endorsement will come around when doge actions are taken seriously and or the White House puts pressure on Congress to take action on spending. Okay, fair enough. What is everybody's favorite moment? Favorite other than Trump being absolutely amazing, great speech. He said he's hilarious, whatever. We'll put POTUS outside that because it's hard to compete with the president of the United States. Do you have a couple of favorite moments? Give us a couple of favorite moments.
First of all, I think we should talk about the substance of the speech because I think this was the first speech that President Trump has given on AI since AI boom began. He's spoken about it before, but this was a full-length policy speech and he declared that the United States was in an AI race. It's a global competition. I think the language that he used was reminiscent of how President John F. Kennedy declared that America was in a space race. In a similar way, President Trump declared that we had to win the AI race.
I think you can argue that the AI race is more important than the space race. It's going to reshape the global economy. It's going to determine who the superpowers are of the 21st century. President Trump was really clear that we had to win it and that he was going to support a strategy for winning it and then he laid out with some of those key pillars are. Number one was innovation. We have to get the red tape out of the way and let our geniuses cook. It clearly was very supportive to a lot of the CEOs and entrepreneurs in the crowd.
Number two is infrastructure. He touted the hundreds of billions of dollars of investments in energy and power generation and grid upgrades and data centers that he's supporting. He also supported AI exports. He said that we have to make America's tech stack the global standard. I think those were really important messages. On top of that, I think there was also some parts of the speech that maybe have gotten less attention but are also important where he said that it's not only important that we win. He said it's important how we win.
He mentioned three non-negotiables here. Number one was that American workers have to be at the center of the prosperity that we create. Number two is that the AI models that the government procures and buys must be free of ideological bias, so no woke AI. He also signed an executive order to prohibit woke AI in the federal government. We can talk about that in a second. That probably was my favorite moment. That was your favorite moment. That was my favorite moment. That was the red meat moment. That was the red meat moment. That was the red meat for the base.
The third thing is he did say that we do want to prevent our technologies from being misused or stolen by malicious actors. Look, we are going to monitor for emerging and unforeseen risks. We're not going to disregard the risk. But he had this really good line in the speech about how even though AI, look, it's a daunting technology because it's so powerful and like any revolutionary technology like that, it can be used for bad as well as good. But the daunting nature of it is all the more reason why we have to do it in the United States.
Why would the United States have to be the pioneer and the leader is because we don't want the power of that technology being developed in other parts of the world. At least other parts of the world are going to have it. But we want to be the ones on the cutting edge where we're defining and leading it. Fantastic. So I think it was a really important speech, I think. This idea of an AI race that is similar to the space race, I think is going to be the dominant frame on AI policy for years to come. Well, it's pretty clear, you know, this presidency, this term is going to be earmarked. I think by four key initiatives, AI, crypto, immigration and tariffs, I think that feels like what they're locking into as what's important for the next three and a half years. I think you would agree with that. And it's just great that you're spearheading and helping the president with two of those four. And just the velocity to me is what's super impressive.
Anyway, you could take us behind the scenes of how this stuff is getting done so quickly. It feels like there's some operational cadence here that we didn't see in his first term, certainly didn't see in the Biden term. But there's a cadence here that's different. Yeah, start up speed. How is that? Well, yeah, we call it, he's working at tech speed. I just think that the president's constantly working. I mean, he's just so energetic. I mean, he basically works like two full work days. I think it's well known that he doesn't need a lot of sleep and he's continues to work late into the night. And I just think his energy pedals everything forward.
I also think that there's a very cohesive team at the White House. Under the chief of staff, Susie Wiles, I think it's very important. I think she runs a tight ship and then got the deputy chief of staffs under her. And I think most of you have been working together for a long time. And it's a team that works well together. And I just feel very coherent and cohesive to me. So I think it's a very effective team. It does feel like that. The pace is great. It means you're going to get more shots on goal. You'll be able to try more things and get more accomplished. Just like we see in startups.
Chema outside of the president's talk, we'll go around the horn here. Top two or three moments from the discussions, just lightning round here, rapid fire. What do you got? Top two or three moments for you, Chema. Just in the discussions that were enlightening to you, inspiring to you, notable to you. I came out of it very motivated. I think that the combination of the speech, the executive orders and the clarity of the big, beautiful bill. Now give those of us that are in these markets a ton of runway. To go and execute. And so those things reinforced by the various members of the cabinet, I think were very important. That was one. And then the second thing were the market commentary from both Lisa Sue and Jensen. I thought was really valuable.
And then the third was Chris Wright and Doug Bergen talking about energy. And I tweeted this yesterday. But we are sort of back to basics almost in a sense where in the absence of power, I think AI is not going to be the thing that we think it can be. So that's going to create an enormous amount of appetite by the federal government to do deals and get players on the field. And that's to me very exciting. So yeah, I came away really, really risk on, I guess is best way to sit. I love it. Freeberg, you have two or three moments outside of the president's speech. Obviously that's the pinnacle there. So let's just go below the pinnacle. What were the other two or three moments for you that were salient? Inspiring, notable.
I thought Jensen did a great job. I don't know what you guys thought, but he is very compelling and has an incredible vision and view on where AI is taking us, where it's headed and what the challenges are. So I really appreciated him taking the time to come and join us. Last minute, he rearranged his schedule to come out for it. And it was great. By the way, on the point on energy, which I still think is the biggest unsolved issue right now in America, besides the federal deficit and the debt problem. Chris Wright agreed to rearrange his schedule to come and join us at the All in Summit in September to continue the conversation.
We didn't get enough time to talk about it. So we are going to hear more from Chris, particularly with a particular focus, which is what I wanted to spend time on. We didn't get a chance last week on nuclear. And where are we? Because he actually is very passionate, like he said, it's where he's spending most of his time right now. And I think it's very good to hear the deep dive on where we are in the cycle on trying to accelerate nuclear energy deployment in the United States. Zach, same question to you. After POTUS, you got two or three moments that stood out?
Let's just talk about the executive orders for a second. Because I think it's pretty cool that the President of the United States signed three executive orders at the All in Summit that we just hosted. I mean, that was pretty amazing. One of them was to promote AI exports because we want the American tech stack to become the global standard. The second was around AI infrastructure to make permitting easier so we can help solve those energy problems you're talking about Freeberg.
And then the third one was on preventing Woke AI in the federal government. And that, to me, is probably my personal favorite because we spent a couple of years on the show talking about how, when we talk about Woke, you really talk about censorship, right? We were talking about censoring people's views based on bias. We saw it was happening in social media before Elon bought X that helped bring things back. But we were on a track, I think, before President Trump's election, to repeat that whole social media censorship apparatus in the form of AI bias or AI censorship.
And we saw this with the whole Black George Washington and where some AI models were saying it was worse to misgender someone than to have a global thermonuclear war. And this wasn't an accident because if you go back to the Biden executive order on AI, there was something like 20 pages of language on there encouraging DEI values to be infused into AI models. So again, we were on track to repeat all the social media censorship, all the trust and safety stuff in this new world of AI.
But it would have been even more insidious because at least when someone gets censored, you kind of find out about it. It's explicit. It's not. It's explicit. Yeah. But with AI, it would have been worse because you wouldn't have even known. It would just be their rewriting history in real time to serve a current political agenda. We've been brainwashing our kids. And people trust these AIs more than they should. I mean, these things are making a prediction of the next word coming. This is not like God given truth here.
And so Freeberg, you wanted to interject that about this one because this is actually, I'll be honest, Saks, I'm surprised you're saying this was the most important one to you. I like that you clarified it because it was the one that was mocked or kind of like people were like, what? Why is this important? I think you made a good case for why it's important. Freeberg, your response, yeah.
But Saks, this is not about broadly making quote AI non-ideological. Private companies should still have the right through freedom of speech or freedom of expression or freedom to operate to make AI that does whatever they wanted to do. What the EO was was that the federal government would not procure ideologically biased AI. Is that correct? Yeah, so exactly. No, we're aware. Just to make sure that the federal government is not trying to instruct private companies how to operate. It's simply saying if you want to sell to us, these are the rules of the road.
Yes, that's true. Yes. So we were very careful about the First Amendment issues. And you're right that if a private company wants to put out a biased AI product, we're not going to tell people they can't use it. Right, and it could work. It could be successful. People might like it. We got it. Yeah, we're just saying that the federal government is not going to spend taxpayer money, buying AI models that have compromised their accuracy and quality because they're beholden to some ideological agenda.
Which is similar to the approach with the universities, right? Hey, listen, you could have a biased university. We're just not going to fund it. We're not participating. I think it's quite reasonable in that way. Yeah, I would just say that, you know, we were a lot more careful about this than the Biden administration was when they required that DEI be inserted into all these models. They didn't distinguish between public and private money or government procurement versus private models.
So they just, they were trying to suffuse DEI into everything. And what we're looking for here is just neutrality, right? We're looking for a lack of ideological bias. The first step was to get rid of that Biden EO, which the president did his first week in office. This goes a little bit further and it's a little bit of a shot across the bow of these Silicon Valley companies saying, look, you need to play it straight. You need to be ideologically unbiased as the default, as the default, when you sell to the government, you can insert your values at the expense of accuracy. Look, at the end of the day, accuracy and true seeking is the standard, right? You can measure the goal. That's the goal. That's the goal. So we don't want the quality, accuracy and true seeking to be sacrificed because of these ideologically biased, right?
Any laws, policies. Are you still seeing that? Like, when you say these Silicon Valley companies, I mean, is this still kind of a widespread concern or widespread deployment from your point of view where you're sitting? Like, are you still seeing a lot of the models being trained on ideological systems that are preferential to one group and not to another? I think it was a much bigger concern six months ago. I think there's been such a huge vibe shift since President Trump's election and taking office that the work stuff is sort of going away on its own. But I think that's the trajectory we're headed. But it was something. But you're something that's important enough to make sure that there's an yield. Yeah, it's like, look, this is to make sure this thing doesn't come back from the dead. I think there's been a huge vibe shift since President Trump's election and woke has definitely fallen out of favor and it seems to be going away on its own.
But we could still get, you know, Orwellian outcomes with AI. I do think it's very important to just keep underscoring that what AI models should be focused on is the truth, is on accuracy. And we don't want ideological agendas to sacrifice that. And I think that even though this is a less saline issue now than six months ago, precisely because of the vibe shift, I still think it's important to underscore this point that we don't want. Would you go so far as to make it taking an Orwellian direction? Yeah, would you go so far as to limit free speech and make it non-ideologically biased? Like would you make that law if you could? No. Because again, the decision about the federal government procuring versus what these private companies can choose to reflect as their, quote, values in their systems.
No, you just, you already answered. You know, you would not. Yeah, no, look, we understand the difference between public procurement and private speech. And again, in a way that the Biden administration did not because they were saying that all AI models have to be able to do that. That's a few specific ideologies to the C.E.I. stuff. So it was an ideology they wanted embedded in it. You're saying don't put an ideology. But just to be clear here, I want to make one point. This is the defaults.
Anybody who wants to, when they start their prompt or they set up their preferred language model, could say, I'm an atheist. Here's what I believe. Please speak to me with this in mind. Or I'm a Catholic. You know, I'm a pro. That's right. Whatever you want. That's right. Never reference, you know, these three subject matters in this way. So this is the default. I think it's a great thing. You think I'm perfectly. I think that's a great example. J.Kell, I do think we'll end up seeing religious AI. I think we'll see AI that's queuing to people's religious beliefs. I was back then. I have one of the startups we did was doing the learning app and they were struggling and they just made a prayer app. And their prayer app went parabolic. And now they're just like printing money. So there is definitely a huge market here. Check out where your highlights. It was great to be included in everything. So I appreciate that.
We had some. No, I mean, that's the right thing. We're actually finally going to get lost in the mail. No, but here's the thing. I think this could have been a non-all-in thing. It could have just been, you know, you could have done it and just invited who you wanted to. So I like that it was under the all-in umbrella and that we didn't censor anything. And we went right at hard topics. I'm a moderate. You know, people want to make me into like a stupid live, but I am an independent moderate. And there were moments in time when we had great debate too. This wasn't just a love letter to the administration. One of the great moments was JD Vance. It was just great that he wanted to come and chop it up and just hang with the besties.
And he came out and he went right at me. He was like, hey, you treated me like, boom, at the thing we had a big debate and, you know, he went right at me. And then I was like, okay, it's on. We want to talk about stuff. And he said, yeah, let's get into it. And that's what I love about JD. JD to me seems like the politician of the future. I know this is like the Trump's administration. He's saying like him. Absolutely. No, I'm in like with Trump. I'm in love with JD because he's young. He's opinionated and he likes to mix it up. He's on Twitter all day long. He engages people on Twitter. He engages people in other groups. I'll leave it at that.
And we had a really, I think, honest discussion about immigration and we got back to the high-skilled immigration question. That's the third rail for MAGA and for the country right now immigration recruiting. I mean, you brought it up right off the bat. No, no. He said he made a great, super spicy point that I want to point out here on Amplify. If companies are going to be laying people off and there was an incredible chart that came out. It was in the financial times. But male college graduates versus non-college graduate males. And there was usually a huge gap in unemployment between those two. In other words, if you had the college degree, you had a much better chance than the non-college degree male.
And now those two things have flipped or they're like neck and neck. If you have a college degree, you have no advantage as a man coming out in this 20 to 27-year-old range. This is men. They're actually doing better. More women in college than men. Yadda Yada. But he's very attuned to this. And he said he's got big concerns right now. So this is again, why I love JD. Because JD is very tuned into the fact that people are asking for more H1B visas and that typically is to save money and supposed to be a very skilled people. But why is Microsoft laying off 9,000 people than asking for more H1B visas? This is a really honest, truth-seeking question.
And it's hard for this administration to talk about this issue because I know you've got Steve Miller, batting whatever people are all the way on one side who wanted to port 20, 30 million people, Tucker. And then you have other people who are more moderate. And I thought that was a really great moment in time for America and for us as a podcast to challenge and have a really important discussion. And he made some great points there. Number two, we had a great debate, I think, about energy.
No, disagree. You disagree. I don't agree with the point. I think you challenged him with things that were not facts and not true. And I'm happy to debate that with you. Great question. He was caught off guard. But I think it was pretty rough and inappropriate. 100, if you think it's inappropriate, that's fine. I was. Take how favorite moments were all the ones where he got on bad ends with a guest. That's where you're describing.
No, no, where there were debates. When you got into it with the vice president, you got into it with the Secretary of Energy. It's a big. That's when you got to. Okay, great. So, okay, fine. I like when there's a little conflict, a little debate about an important issue. And when I walked the audience, which was, you know, 90 percent Republican GOP, Maga, et cetera, people said, that was a great moment. I really liked that debate because he kept saying like non-reliable energy and whatever.
And I was like, he's talking about solar. And I think there was a little misinformation. It's not reliable. No, it's not. You put it with a battery right now. Texas is 30 percent some days. Wind and energy. You know, like, I can tell you I live in the great state of Texas. Texas is a Texas is not doing that. Texas is not doing that. Just so you know, what's that? Texas is roughly 5 percent solar. Right. And wind puts it up to 25 to 30 percent on the top days is coming from that.
My point about that is, and it's cheaper to put in a solar and add on a farm than a new coal plant. It is 100 percent. We can pull up the stats. It is twice the cost to do solar than it is to do net gas. It takes 4,000 acres. I said coal. I said coal. I said coal. I said coal. The big advocacy with these guys is to use net gas to use methane. He was saying these methane coal, clean coal, clean coal, at least 50 times.
These methane plants are half the cost of solar. They can get stood up in less than two years, absolutely. To generate a gigawatt. And instead of being 4,000 acres of solar, you can get it done for, you know, call it 20 acres. Now, talk a little bit about pollution. And that's a big part of why they're doing this. Well, a big part of methane is that it's actually cleaner than coal, which is why they're using a cleaner than oil. Cleaner than nuclear. Cleaner than oil.
And the two degrees of getting energy. Now science guy now do. So I'm trying to get into facts about why it is cheaper and faster, which is what he was making an advocacy for, right? It's not about like solar. Yes, you're right. It has a lower carbon footprint when you're running it. But at the end of the day, what these guys are focused on and a big challenge for America is how do we scale energy production in the states? And scaling energy production, I personally think we need to fix the regulatory roadblocks in nuclear and Chris Wright's been very vocal. And we're all agree on that.
But the fact is this Nat gas supply that we have in the United States and the fact that we can deploy Nat gas energy production very quickly is what makes it such a reliable source right now. If the US wants to have a chance at scaling from one terawatt to two faster than the totally agreeable netted to do. But I think we do need to. And that's the reason. You know, it's not it's not about like solar is being bad, solar is bad.
Like that's not the argument. It's just like, dude, we got to get moving fast and we got to have reliable energy. I just want to point down. But the fact that it's not a point in our debates when there's bad faith moments. I think it's a bad faith moment for when I say coal versus solar. And then you say, no, you're wrong. It's solar versus Nat gas. And that's what he was doing. This is what politicians do. You're on all in. We like to do, you know, a fact-based truth first up, not buy stuff.
And so solar, you're comparing, you know, solar and how fast it is versus how fast it is to go to Nat gas. Of course, it's faster to go to Nat gas if we have those available. Let's put that aside. It's an important debate. The fact that you and I are debating it is important. And I also thought Lisa from AMD was fantastic. I haven't heard from her. By the way, I just want to point out that when I got back to the conference, so I left for a time to go back to the White House and then I came back.
The first thing everyone said to me when I got back was, did you see Jake Al being a jerk to Chris Wright? They were everyone was like, all it's busy about that. Yeah, a jerk. He's a civil servant. He has to answer hard questions. You didn't talk to him in the way that you would. Basically everyone was like, you were a jerk to Chris Wright and you were kind of a jerk to JD. And what are your favorite moments? What are your favorite moments from the conference you're reminiscing about?
I'm not saying you were an asshole to me. Anyway, the point is, one thing you're going to get here at the all in. I'm alright. This is what I'm going to say. I'm going to say this. I'm going to say this. I'm going to say this. You're almost derailed the whole thing. No, we are derailed. You're a civil servant, Mr. Sacks. You're a silvid servant. You're all silvid. Yeah, I've been putting it out with you for five years of this podcast.
And you take the hard questions. It was perfect training for government services beyond the podcast being interrupted by you for five years. Yes, that's why I'm so ready. You learned well. You learned about you work for us. All of you. And you're all going to take hard questions and you're all going to take hard questions on September 7th, 8th and 9th. We have the all in summit in Colossus.
By the way, by the way, one thing I'll say is Chris Rice chief of South care to me afterwards. And I said, I'm sorry, I heard Jake, how was it jerk to to secretary right? And he's like, oh, no, Chris loved it. He loves mixing it up. Okay. He's coming to he's coming to all in summit and on September 8th. Can't wait to debate a more. So can't wait to mix it up. So he likes mixing it up. So kudos to him.
Okay. And so did so did JD Vance. I'm going to invite the vice president to you. Stop calling JD by the way. Well, I mean, listen, I just want to say, Vice president JD Vance and I have been directly communicated. We have a we yes. No, you have it. David, it's actually a worst nightmare. Oh, my God. You're worse than me. The nation is ruined. What the fuck? We let Jake, Alan, so Washington and now look what's happening.
Yes. And listen, I want to level set with everyone. We I am going to ask whatever fucking question I want to whatever guest we have and nobody stopping the only way you're going to stop me is by writing me a huge fucking check to buy me out of this podcast and replacing me with some mid or if the secret service gives you off stage, which might be an option. Or secret service keeps up thing.
But the truth is this is one of the great things about this administration. Sex is that they love to mix it up. They like great debate. You know, who didn't like great debate and ran from it? Kamala, I'm a ding dong. You wouldn't even come on this podcast. You know, who doesn't like to bake? We get that Bernie's Biden. Who didn't even know what a podcast is. Tim Walst, who doesn't know. You definitely you definitely have your moments. But Tim Walst doesn't own an equity. He doesn't own one share of any company. He doesn't own his home and Kim Walsh is on there giving a hard time about the Trump savings accounts. I mean, I don't even know if that's a. Kamala, you know, what you love, do you thought that was going in the election? I thought he might be able to speak to like the middle of America. And then I find out like when they do the deep op-o research that the guy doesn't own one stock. The guy doesn't own his home. He's financially illiterate and we're making him. He's been employed by the government. He's been employed by the government. It's whole life. I mean, have you.
There it is. There it is. That's what Jake Kothaw would win them the elections. You're never going to live that down. I remember when you tweeted you thought that was it. You thought that was the master stroke. I thought it might. The master stroke that was going to win them the election. I listen, no stricannis does not bat a thousand. No, even no stricannis cannot bat a thousand. But it did come out by the way. That Nancy Pelosi wanted to do the speedrun primer. I don't know if you saw that just not to rehash too much stuff. Sax, I want to say there was one point of difference if you want to get into it. Okay. But the content part of it where, and this is something that the press was having a field day with and they really keyed on, which was, hey, respecting IP, respecting copyright. What's the feedback been so far on that, which was a pretty spicy part of President Trump's speech?
Well, I think what the president said was just very pragmatic. He said we had to have a common sense approach towards intellectual property. And he said if you have to make a deal with every single article on the internet, every single website, every single book, every piece of IP, in order to train an AI model, it wasn't feasible. He said, look, I appreciate the work that went into people creating these works, but you're not going to build a negotiate a deal for every single one of them. And if we require our AI models to do that and China doesn't and they won't, they're just training on everything, whether it's, you know, pirated or not, then we're going to lose AI race. So I think he took the side of a fair use definition. I don't know if he used the term fair use, but effectively, he was taking the side of a reasonable fair use.
What did you think of that part, Dave? Fiber? You have any thoughts or traumatic on that part? I think he's absolutely right. I've said this before. If something's in the internet, if something's in the open domain and I strongly disagree with the idea that AI getting trained is the same as AI replicating copyright material. If AI outputs theft or outputs audio or outputs video that contains copyright material, it is 100% in violation of copyright. And he said that, by the way. Yes. And if the AI is learning, it is understanding patterns, it is understanding reasoning, it is understanding concepts by reading copyright material, just like humans do. A writer, an author reads a bunch of fiction, learns good techniques, learns good concepts, learns good theory from reading all those books, and then goes and writes his or her own book. They are not violating copyright material in the same way that AI.
Freeberg. What if it's all the New York Times, if it's behind the open internet? 100%. You're 100% correct. That should be paid for or licensed. I'm talking about the open internet. I'm talking about open material. I'm talking about stuff that's in the open domain. Which is a thing called common problem. If there was, if somebody stole 100 books, let's say, and put them on their website, and it was a pirated Russian website with a thousand books on it, and you accidentally crawled, you would be obligated to take that out then. Correct. Correct. Correct. Because that's what a lot of the lawsuits around.
So I think we're reaching something. I just want to say, this is such an important point, especially to me as a content creator and somebody who spent his career in this. I've been thinking about the end game, and I'm here in Park City, I was just giving this a keynote, and I wanted to show you something I made, a sax. I think we have to get to the end game here. So in my talk, I talked a little bit about how can we get through this fight and then maybe getting to a solution.
So I had my team mock up the New York Times website here, and chat GPT doing a deal with them. So here you see you're on the New York Times website, and you ask it a question powered by GPT. You ask it, hey, you might ask this question. In fact, you log in with your chat GPT credentials. It could be GROC, it could be Gemini. Give me the earliest mentions of Putin. If you were a fan of Putin or something, and it would then go through that and give you your Putin references.
And then I made another one. And then obviously, this would be an exclusive to chat GPT. It would be one of those things where they get an exclusive. And then here on the Disney Plus channel, imagine you could make yourself into a Jedi knight and you could then upload your photo. Kids might really get into this. You upload your photo. You talked about this free burn a couple of times of the future of narrative storytelling, upload your photo, and then it makes you into a Jedi knight.
There's Dorothy Calacanis. So that looks to me like you're infringing on their trademark. What's that? Are you infringing on their copyrights? This is fair use. This is fair use. This is a perfect example of fair use for editorial. You're also infringing on some ozempic. That's a really good ozempic. Trust me. I am definitely infringing on some ozempic. I'm going to peptide now, man. I'm on the Wolverine Protocol. So look at you.
Yeah, I started doing the, I mean, I don't take a pot. What could go wrong? Don't take a pot. Don't take a pot. Passers advice on your healthcare rule number one. Take Chimaltz advice because he's got a 6% body fat, which I think attributes to much of your pomp and circumstance around your privates. I think it has to do with the lack of fat, but I'm going to leave it at that. First of all, it's 11 and a half, but you know, that's like that's like right before I go on summer vacation and it ends up at 12 o'clock.
Did you go get that? Did you go get that gelato? What was that place we went that we love? I've gone there every day, every day so far. Did you do two or one? Be honest. Two or a row. I've had, I've been doing a procession. Do you do two or one? Be honest. I start with the medium and I finish with a small. Exactly. This stuff is so good. I've never tasted any gelato like this. It's incredible. I mean, just unbelievable. We have to license it for the United States.
It's incredible. We have to license it from them. It's really incredible. But Chimaltz, just generally speaking, or anybody who wants to have added, Friedberg, Sachs, what do we think about the end game here? Because there's some major lawsuits here that are going to get settled in the next year or two. What do we think about sort of the future I've shown here today? I think what Sachs has highlighted is exactly right. Look, we got to have a commonsense approach here or we're going to lose the AI. We're going to raise.
I mean, one of the key determinants of AI quality is the amount of data that you have. It's very simple, right? There's a few building blocks. There's energy. There's chips. And there's data and there's algorithms. And if you lose on any one of those dimensions, then you're in trouble. So look, you just can't have a situation where China can train on the entire internet. And R.A.I. models are hamstrung by needing to contract. Totally. So you can take contracts with every single website.
But right now, Elon owns X, right? He owns Twitter for now X. Does Sam Altman have the right to use X in his corpus? It's publicly available. No, it's not. No, it is not publicly available. It's not a public endpoint. It's not a public endpoint. I just honestly, I don't know the answer to that. There's some edge cases here. We're going to have to come up with a very useful. It's not about whether it's behind it at paywall or not. It's whether these APIs exist and whether you're actually contractually allowed to use them or not. It's correct. The terms of service, it's published on every website what the terms of service are. With respect to the content. I think it would be okay to let people opt out. So we already have this with Common Crawl. You can put in the footer of the website, you put in robust.txt and you opt out of Common Crawl. Common Crawl is this nonprofit organization that basically archives the entire web every few months. Funded by Gil Elbas. Formerly of Google. Formerly of Google. Great fan of the pod shows up to our summit. It's great guy. And all of OpenAI was built off of Common Crawl originally. And he put there very clear, by the way, they say you have to clear copyrights. You don't get you just use open crawl.
Can I go out and I'll let you guys saw this Amazon deal with the New York Times for $25 million. Did you see that today? No. I didn't see it today. Explain it please. I think that the New York Times licensed Amazon all of their content, including the athletic and a bunch of other things for training. 20 million. Sorry. 20 million a year. Okay. Here I read that and I thought this is the peak of these deals. These deals will only go down in terms of dollar value from here. And it actually brought me to this point where I was thinking to myself, is it even realistic to believe that patents and copyrights actually exist in five years? And I went through this exercise of like, if a computer studies the periodic table and also understands the laws of physics, the laws of biology, the laws of chemistry, and then independently derives some material that is otherwise patent-tuned, what will happen. And then separately, if two competing AIs invent a new material from scratch, how will the international course deal with this? And if you take all of these examples to the limit, at the limit, the idea that there are copyrights, enforceable copyrights, I think is a very fragile assumption. So I'm actually thinking more that we have to spend some time understanding the landscape of a world that doesn't have copyrights and patent protections.
And instead, what is the surface area in which you compete? What is trade secret? What does that mean in a world of AI? And I think it's quite an interesting thing to think about. Patents are a totally different piece. I think that's a fascinating string to pull on. I will tell you, I will take the other side of the bet. If we want to make a polymarket on this, I will guarantee that this will be the beginning of the deals and the deals we will up from here. I'll tell you why. The reason the New York Times made that deal is to make it apparent that what OpenAI has done has damaged their business. Because now they have a customer. And their customer is Jeff Bezos at Amazon and Jassy. And now they can show damages. Because now those damages could give them an injunction against OpenAI. And OpenAI has got to take it out of their crawl, of their construct. And that's going to be really expensive for them. It's not doable, but it's going to be expensive.
Let's think on a societal basis of what we want as a society. Do we want a society in which journalists, writers, artists, musicians, filmmakers, actors cannot make a living? Podcasts? What do we want a world in which they can? And I think you're assuming, hold on, let me finish. But you're assuming that as a technologist, we typically think if we can crawl at its ours, what I can tell you is an artist is if I make it, it's mine. And you need my permission because it's my art. And I think the industry will do better if they respect them because now the New York Times can hire more fact checkers.
But can I just ask you a question? Yeah, sure. But why do you have to connect the two as immutable things? Meaning why can't somebody make something? Still, let's just say it's a song. But that song can now be made by multiple AI models. But if they make the song, there's a reasonable claim that even if they don't have the copyright, more people will want them to perform the song than some random AI. So can't you make a living without having the copyright? Which is the choice of the artist. Some artists were very well known for not wanting their art to exist in some mediums. As a perfect example, the Rolling Stones were a long time thought they would sell out if they had their music used in commercials. And when they did start me up with windows, that was a really big concession from them. And that's up to the artist to make that decision. You make a valid claim.
Hey, yeah, you go on tour and you make more money. That's the artist's decision, not the technologist or the people stealing their content. And by the way, $20 million a year is a hundred, $200,000, highly paid journalists, fact checkers at the New York Times. They're going to get ten of those deals. And it's going to create a golden hour of age of journalism and content. And we should be happy about that. I told you this example, Jason. But at Beast, we did a licensing deal of our content to allow open AI to learn, to run training runs on our videos. And at the board, the thing that we kept talking about was I was really concerned like, let's just do a couple of your deal max. Sure.
And the reason is we have no idea what this looks like in five or ten years. And there's just as much chance to your point that we get it wrong is right. Now that was about six months ago. And so the intuition that I had back then was maybe we should keep the deal term as short as possible. And now when I see how important AI is in the global landscape and what China is doing, I think on the margins that this idea that these copyrights will mean something. In my mind, I am underwriting the value of these things going to zero. And I'm asking myself instead for my businesses, how are we actually building a real defensive remote and not a piece of paper that we can use to sue somebody?
Okay. Freeberg, you want the less word here? We got to move on to some other topics. I just want to be clear. I just want to be clear that nobody is losing their copyright. Copyright is the right not to have your work copied. And if an AI model produces outputs that copy or plagiarize your work, then that's a violation of the law. And I think the president specifically said that. We're not allowing copying or plagiarizing. The question is whether AI models are allowed to do math on the internet. Patron recognition. Basically, that's what it is. And it's, and Jake, I think you're conflating the two. And I don't want to interrupt it. I just want to say this.
I understand the distinction. And I think that this idea that like I can't, for example, go to the library, rent a book, read it, and then learn some of the good techniques on how to write a good book should be restricted to humans in this AI context. Like this is exactly what they're doing. They're identifying patterns. And then they're building predictive algorithms that allow them to output stuff that starts to fit within different kind of, you know, variable settings. Do you guys think it's possible that if you allocated enough compute at the problem, you could write Michael Criton's Jurassic Park Denoval without ever having read it? Yes. Me too. Me too.
I don't know what that would mean. Like, well, this is my point. I know Michael Criton's and I know what Jurassic Park is. I don't know what it means. I don't know what it means to say can AI write that? But you guys remember the edge here in lawsuit? Do you remember the lawsuit? Yeah, I did, but let me just make one point here on this because you're saying I don't understand it. I spent my career in it. I understand it much better than you do. And I understand it from lawsuits and being in the weeds on it. Like I understand it for the first principles, which you do not.
And I will say this is what we're talking about here is the definition. It's the definition of a derivative work. And the output matters. So if you were to take my knowledge and then create a derivative work from it and you used a percentage of my work and that's where this will get into the nuance is what percentage of the original work is used in the derivative work and under what context, a commercial context or a non-commercial. This is clearly a commercial one. If it's a, if open AI was a nonprofit right now, we'd be having a distinctly different discussion because it would, there would be, you wouldn't be competing with me as the copyright holder to use this new medium and create the derivative works.
And it has to change substantially. So if it's a, if it's a cliff notes, when China has the only models that are able to meet your stringent definitions of copyright. Well, no, here's the thing. I think the China fear, the China fear shit is bullshit. I'll be totally honest here. Just because China steals IP does not mean you get to steal from Americans in America we have rules. And when you go to China and by the way, we spent all that 30 years, the major issue with China is not Taiwan. It has been re-backing. Let me re-back this issue. Let me re-back this issue itself. Let me finish. The technology industry itself has leaned on our government for 30, 40 years, including Microsoft, including Google to make sure our trade secrets are not stolen. Our IP is not stolen. Our movies are not stolen. That is the key issue with China.
So just because China is a fear does not mean American companies get to you. Have you seen, have you seen the latest batch of Chinese open source models or open with models? They steal everything. Does that mean you should be able to steal windows? Should you be able to steal? Jason, let me ask you a question. Jason, let me ask you a question. We know it's a good stealing. Elon has said this pretty clearly, but GROC-5 and for sure GROC-6 will not use common crawl. It will not use the internet. It will just be an enormous amount of synthetic data. And back to what Freeberg and I just agreed upon, if you synthetically go and try to generate all this content to learn across, you're invariably going to produce something that's already been created.
And so, it's like some sci-fi level. I understand. But that's what's happening now. It's happening now. If something happens to GROC-5 or GROC-6, is that violating copyright? It didn't even know that it existed. On the output, yeah, that's fine. On the output created a similar work, they would need to then take it down. And so that would be a really interesting new, that's a new space we're going to have to contend with. So, can I give you an example? Can I give you an example? If it does happen, is a new concept that we would have to address in a new way.
I'll give you a science corner example of this EVO-2 model that they publish at the Art Institute, which Patrick Collison, you know, is the name of the Baltimore. We talked about it. So, that EVO-2 model, they just ingested all the DNA data they could find in the world. Trillions and trillions of base pair of data that they ingested. And then they looked at patterns in DNA. And that's it. They had no context for what the DNA represented. They had no context for the concept of genes. None of the structured understanding of what that DNA does, what it is. And you know what it did? They fed in the BRACA gene variant. And the thing output, a warning saying, I think that this is a pathogenic variant to DNA.
Without having any context, this is the breast cancer allele. And it didn't have any knowledge. And it wasn't trained on that at all. It had no knowledge that there are pathogenic variants for cancer. And it identified that this was a genetic variant that can cause some sort of pathogenic outcome in the organism. So that's a great example where there's a lack of understanding at the human level on what really drives some of the patterns in nature, the patterns in society, the patterns in behavior that are kind of emergent phenomena, perhaps, that these AI models are starting to identify. And I think to Jamal's point, we may end up seeing this in things like entertainment as well.
All right. This has been an amazing debate. We got to move on and you know what? We're going to have more amazing debates September 7th through 9th in Los Angeles at the All in Summit. The lineup is stacked. Ali Bob is co-founder Joe Sy. Tom Abravo co-founder, Arcan Vest, Kathy Wood, Ubers CEO Dara. Sequoia's role of both YouTuber, Cleo Abram and many, many more coming. So actually get the last word here. Go. I was just highlighting this tweet that I saw where talking about Chinese open-weight models are basically open source models. So basically all the leading American models are closed source and all the leading Chinese models are open source. This is kind of what they have played out.
好的。这场辩论非常精彩。我们要继续前进,你知道吗?9月7日至9日,我们将在洛杉矶举行的All in 峰会上举办更多精彩的辩论。阵容非常强大,有阿里巴巴的联合创始人蔡崇信、Tom Abravo 的联合创始人、Arcan Vest 的Kathy Wood、Uber的CEO Dara、红杉资本代表、YouTuber Cleo Abram等等,还有更多嘉宾即将参加。所以实际上这里给你最后发言的机会。开始吧。我刚才只是想强调一下我看到的一条推文,讨论了中国的开放权重模型基本上就是开源模型。换句话说,所有领先的美国模型都是闭源的,而所有领先的中国模型都是开源的。这就是他们的表现。
It's a pretty good technique for catching up is to open source because then you get the larger open source developer community helping you out. It's great. But the point is just that these open source models are catching up pretty fast. We're ahead in many other aspects. Our chips are a lot better or data centers are better and so on. And I'd say our closed source models are better. But they have this one area of open source models. So again, if you hamstring our AI models access to data by creating a whole bunch of new requirements for contracting negotiations like we could really lose the AI race. This is a really big deal. It's not a made up concern. I don't know why you think it's made up. I never said that it's made up.
I think it's an opportunity for America to actually have a distinct advantage, which is that $20 million from Amazon alone is 1% of the New York Times revenue. And that's going to go directly to the bottom line. It's going to allow them to hire more journalists. Then that protected site will have be giving in real time something. These language models are going to have to go hack and steal. That real time data is going to be a distinct advantage for Gemini, OpenAI, Amazon, whoever chooses to do it. And we can create a wide-angle key. You have this nostalgic, quasi-romantic notions about journalism and the need to save your time. It's also art. All the stuff.
You can say all the derogatory things you want about me personally, Saks. That doesn't work. I didn't say that. No, no, you just said I have this whole nostalgia, whatever. When you do, you're nostalgic for journalism as it used to exist. When I know I've beat you in the debate is when you make it personal like that. It's not personal. I'm not being nostalgic. I'm trying to create a sustainable advantage for America. When you are our public servant and you're trying to create, you will take my feedback. You're trying to create. We're going to ignore your feedback. We're going to ignore your feedback. We're going to ignore your feedback. We're throwing in the trash. No, you take it. And I will be showing up at the White House for my tour.
You have this crazy idea that we're going to win the AI race by tying one hand behind our back so that you can subsidize journalists. No, you can subsidize them. You can subsidize them. You're trying to broken business law. You'll get more content. You said before you want more training data. Pay for it. Pay for more training data. Your bizarre. Take it back to POTUS. All right. Let's keep moving here. We have to keep moving. We have a great debate. This is great debate. Great debate here on the All in Podcast. It's not going to stop folks. It's just you yelling. It's just you yelling saying things. You don't make sense. But you can say that.
你有一个疯狂的想法,认为为了补贴记者,我们要在AI竞争中自我设限(比如比喻为绑住一只手)来赢得比赛。不,对记者的补贴是你自己的事。你试图破坏商业法来获取更多内容。你之前说过你想要更多训练数据,那就自己掏钱去买更多的训练数据吧。你的想法很奇怪,把它带回去告诉总统。好吧,我们得继续了。我们一定要继续讨论。这是一场精彩的辩论,这确实是一场精彩的辩论,All in Podcast上的精彩辩论。争论不会停下来的。只是你在喊,只是你在喊一些没意义的话。但你可以继续说下去。
You can only have like three topics to take. Freeberg. Freeberg. Freeberg. You can personally attack that. No, you know what it is. It's like we got to let in more immigrants. Number one. I still do immigrants. Yeah, I was going to put everyone out of work. By the way, no sense of perceived contradiction between those two things. Number three, we need to like some rise. Here comes the personal text. You know, the audience says. No, it's the same topic. When the three of you guys attack me. No, it's the overall. He's the when the audience. I can create an AI. You can't not put me like this. And the three of you gang up. And you personally attack me. The audience comes up to me and they say, wow, you really nailed it. And beat that.
Have I done that today? No, not yet. Not yet. A bit a little bit of the ozamic. But it was pretty exciting. You just been eating. He's been strangely uninvolved and just eating. He's amazing. He's 11% body fat. Let him eat. Let him cook. All right, listen, you and I, Sacks will do more debate. And it's going to be amazing all in.com slash yada yada yada for tickets. Get in there, folks. We have to get to the docket where an hour in and we still have all the news. We should talk about this AI privacy issue that Sam Altman mentioned.
All right. That's a great segue because I saw that as well, David Sacks. And as our civil servant working on AI, this is something where you can have an additional contribution. It's more work than giving you. All right, listen, here it is. AI user privacy is becoming an issue because friend of the pod. Sam Altman says there is no legal confidentiality when using his product, chat GPT. Here's a 30 second clip. Again, friend of the pod. FOP. Sam Altman. On Theo Vaughn. People talk about the most personal shit in their lives to chat GPT. Young people especially like use it as a therapist, a life coach, having these relationship problems. What should I do? And right now, if you talk to a therapist or a lawyer or a doctor about those problems, there's like legal privilege for it.
We haven't figured that out yet for when you talk to chat GPT. So if you go talk to chat GPT about your most sensitive stuff and then there's like a lawsuit or whatever, like we could be required to produce that. And I think that's very screwed up. I think we should have like the same concept of privacy for your conversations with AI that we do with a therapist or whatever. Okay. Sacks. This is bringing up something super important. What's your take on it? Okay. Well, I think this is an interesting topic because like copyright, this is an area where we have existing law, but it does make you rethink whether those laws are truly applicable or make as much sense in this new world.
So the existing law, the existing example is search history. You know, the government can get a copy of your search history. They can subpoena it. Yeah. Every true crime story starts with a person search for how do I kill my husband slowly with poison and then they, yeah, that's exactly the point is though that I think Sam is right about the legal treatment right now, which is that your chat history isn't any different than the search history in the eyes of the law, but it is much more personal.
It's much more interactive than your search history. You are using it, like you said, you could use it as a, as your doctor, you could use it as your therapist. You could use it as your lawyer. And so the ability for the federal government to be intrusive is so much greater than with your search history. So I don't know what like the right policy should be yet, but I will say it does make me uncomfortable. Yeah, there's a more.
That. Can I make a recommendation to my AI? Can I ask for a answer? Yes, please. He's our third. Why don't we let AI models get bar certified and get medically certified? So if the AI models, it turns out, are actually proving to be more accurate, more thoughtful, more responsive, more reasonable, whatever it is, whatever metric we're using. And they pass the same criteria as one would need to pass to qualify for the bar or to qualify for a doctor certificate.
Why don't we do that for the AI? If that then happens, then the same privilege accrued to the AI as it does to the individual human that doesn't. And now if you extrapolate from where that takes us, if we're suddenly giving AI the same sort of privileged rights that we give to privileged humans, where is that going to take us ultimately with respect to the overall rights for AI? Well, they have responsibilities.
That's a longer form. Hold on a second. Actually, I'll point out here once again, you have a mind-blowing concept here. Have never heard anybody vocalize that. Could they actually be certified in that knowledge? And if they pass the test, it makes sense they would, but then you also get responsibility. So with a great power from its great responsibility, I will tell you this. You can turn this stuff off, but this is an opportunity.
I'm going to send a note to you on this. And it sounds crazy today, but I guarantee if you put it on polymarket, there will be a date when this happens. That's a great power market shout out to Shane. Let's get that up there. I just want to point out, and I'm going to email Elon about this when I get off the pod. This is an opportunity to create the signal of a signal equivalent of an LLM.
All of your chats should be encrypted. All of it should be by default. Encrypted by default on GROC. Make it so that GROC can't even see it. They don't have it. If you try to subpoena it, you can do what Tim Cook does, which he says, I don't have it. If you want to try to backdoor it, you can. That's a market opportunity.
I can tell you, I only use the Brave browser and Brave search for this reason. I don't want my search history like save somewhere or whatever. That you can take control of this as an individual, but the defaults matter and you have to then do the work. It's a great market opportunity, Chimoff. I don't even want to know what you're talking to chat GPT about. What's in your chat GPT logs?
What's in there, Chimoff? How to extend, how to get the extra centimeter? What's in there? I keep asking it to find me a moderator. Oh, great. I keep asking it to find me a participant. It was not a douche. Oh my god, you are so deep in your Villanera and you're leaning into it. And I'm so here for it, Chimoff. I love your Villanera. You know why? I am so.
Why are you going into your Villanera? I am so risk on right now. You are. It's liberating, actually. It's amazing. It's really amazing. Is there any blowback to how outlandish you've become this year? Any blowback at all? Has it had any negative consequence on business or hiring or anything? No, but I will landish. How? How have I been outlandish?
You're just filter off. You're filter off. And I think it's great. I think the over two windows back. It's absolutely fantastic. We're seeing here. I asked chat GPT about my future and my IQ. It's very interesting when you ask chat GPT to analyze you. I suggest everyone do it. Well, actually, yeah, when you just ask chat GPT or whatever, what do you know about me? And it's scary how much it already does. It's scary. There's this great personality test. You can put this personality test into GROC. And this guy made this prompt and it goes and it tells you all your personality based on your Twitter ex history. It is wild how accurate it is. What does it say about you, Tiko? I'm actually curious. It says the same thing about all of us. We're all like network, narcissists, ENTJ. You can literally run the Myers-Briggs against your chat history. It's actually, but I like your mind blowing concept there, by the way, of like them becoming certified in some way.
Okay, fresh, economic news. It's time for the administration to take their victory lap. GDP growth was 50% higher than expectations in Q2 as the Fed held rates at 4.25%. In Q1, GDP is equivalent to 50 basis points. That's probably due to the imports. People were stockpiling goods. That's the most pointless chart ever. Okay. And then, yeah, it is, I agree. It's a little bit distorted by one of that. I wanted to have both. I want to have both as bar charts. This one is totally undrived. You're totally undrived. Just say it. It's okay. What drugs are you on? I have coffee in and out. I'm out. I'm out. We're all friends. You can tell us. Is it really just out? All right. That's it. I'm taking it out. Oh my god. I took it out. And now let's get back to the here.
Okay. The Fed cap rates unchanged for the fifth straight meeting this time. Who out of 11 Fed governors dissented for Powell's decision to the dissenters were both Republicans nominated by Trump. So it seems like the Fed is becoming a little polarized now too. First time in 32 years that more than one governor dissented. And yeah, even one person dissenting is rare. Here's a 25 second clip of Powell explaining how GDP factored into the cut decision. Nick, please play the clip. Election indicators suggest that growth of economic activity has moderated. GDP rose at a 1.2% pace in the first half of this year, down from 2.5% last year. Although the increase in the second quarter was stronger at 3%, focusing on the first half of the year helps smooth through the volatility in the quarterly figures related to the unusual swings in net exports.
The PCE index and then I'll throw this over to you, Sachs, for the official position here for June dropped on Thursday. PCE is the Fed's preferred gauge of inflation over CPI. PCE rose 30 Bips in June in line with estimates. And if you remember, we talked about in previous episodes CPI rose a bit 13% or 30 Bips for May to June. So we're not any, we're not close to the 2% target. And that's what the Fed keeps saying. We're not there yet. And the economy is Elfwego. Sachs, you note, I don't know if you notice this, Sachs. But people are talking about the QDP, the second quarter print, which was amazing for GDP. You were talking about it a bunch, Jamoth on the socials. He keeps referencing the first half. So he's trying to blend those two together, I think, because of the the tariff differences or, you know, maybe to smooth it out as he said.
What's your take on this? The GDP boomed in, you know, 3%, which is pretty great. But is that? The problem, you know, the problem that Jerome Powell has is that he's trying to smooth it because it allows him to justify his political decision. Okay. But the reason why you have to segregate Q1 and Q2, Q1 was before tariffs and Q2 was after tariffs. So I think you have to segregate these two things. And if you look at the run rate from Q2, what you're probably going to see in Q3 and beyond is more similar to Q2, which is to say, a large surplus, good GDP expansion and moderating inflation. So why does the Fed not cut? Because at this point, not cutting is the only thing that you can do to slow the Trump administration down, going into the midterms if you wanted to politicize the job.
If however, on the other hand, you just take the data as is and you ignore Q1 because it was pre-tariff and you start to look at Q2 and you project forward. If you inject a hundred basis point cut into the economy, this thing is going to go gang busters and Trump is going to look like an economic genius going into 2026. So I think that again, in the absence of politics, you cut. Okay. Sax, what's the take from inside the administration around it? I know you're not speaking for the president on this issue, but you're in the administration. So I'm assuming you're.
Yeah. I'm not speaking for anyone. But obviously the 3% number is way ahead of expectations. It's a fantastic number. It just feels like, you know, everything's humming on all cylinders here. One thing you didn't mention, but I think as relevant is the new trade deal with the EU. We're about to get to that, by the way. That's the next story. Okay. Well, I mean, I would include that because I mean, I think it was a deal that just got announced where the EU is going to open its markets to US products, no tariff on US products, but they will pay a 15% tariff coming into the US.
They're going to be investing 600 billion in the US. They're going to be buying 750 billion of US energy. And then some very large number, I guess they didn't specify number on defense products, basically American military products, hundreds of billions, which is the follow-up to their commitment to raise their contribution to NATO to 5% of GDP up from, I guess it was sort of like 2% before. So I mean, this is a huge deal for the United States. I think it's a huge win for the Trump administration.
And the deal is so good that what I'm seeing from European sources on X, European publications, just commenters, is that they were like outrage. They felt like they got taken to the cleaners here. Good. And you see a lot of that on X by Europeans. A lot of the European leaders are saying that Ursula chickened out. So all those stupid taco memes are going away now because people are realizing that Trump's willingness to raise tariffs on these countries as a threat to renegotiate better trade deals is working. It's working. Extraordinarily well.
Does this EU deal only to think about it? Is you add it all up? It's about $2 trillion. It's effectively $2 trillion of stimulus into the US, but without money printing. Yeah. Over the next three years. So it's noninflationary. It's not insignificant. It's a free bird, your thoughts on the Fed, the GDP print. And maybe you could get into the granular details of that print. If you pull up the schedule of data, so this is the national income and product accounts data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
So this is where the inflation print comes from. I think there are two lines worth taking significant note of. The first is the furnishings and durable household equipment line. So in June, the cost for furnishings and household stuff jumped 1.3% month over month on an annualized basis, right? That's almost 15% year over year if it were to continue at that level. And then the second one is this recreational goods and vehicles. That jumped 0.9% month over month. Neither of those categories have jumped that much in kind of recent history.
So part of the argument that's being made is that what we are seeing in these jumps is actually some of the first effects of the tariffs and the cost of goods that are being imported because these are largely imports. Having an adverse effect on the consumer. And so I think this is kind of a weight and sea moment on some of these categories that are predicted to have a tariffs price effect starting to show through. So I think this is where a lot of folks are keeping it close.
So I wanted to kind of provide a little bit of the support for the economists that are saying we should keep rates steady because if we are seeing a significant inflationary effect here, it's worth noting that there's something that we need to be thoughtful about in the rate policy. I think this is a really good point. If you look at in this debate, which is obviously highly political, we're at inflation 2.567%, spending is increasing obviously. Stock market at an all-time high, unemployment trending down again.
So we're at like 4.1%. And people are just yoloing into crypto and they're doing sports betting, Bitcoin at all-time high. I think the Fed now is in a position where cutting rates seems like putting a caracene on the fire. If Trump tanked the economy in Q2, he probably would have gotten the rates. But now I don't think it's reasonable, as you're saying, Dave, the reasons to not cut are building because the economy is on fire.
So maybe the shock and bore approach to tariffs, which is now becoming a playbook. I had a nice talk with Letnik about this, who I love, by the way. He really described to me how they're doing these and the shock and bore playbook is basically Trump says something completely outrageous, shocking. Everybody goes crazy. The media loses their mind, business leaders lose their mind. Letnik told me that what he does is he sets the table and proposes something reasonable because now I'm a big direct contact with all the administration, so I thank you for that. Letnik, and he described it, Trump comes in, sees all the stuff, and then he starts making his micro tweaks. So it's on the finish line. It's in the red zone, five yard line. Trump comes in and then he sticks it to them again with three or four extra asks, and then they wrap it up and that this is becoming really effective.
So it was chaotic at first. It seemed nonsensical. But they've put the Fed in a really bad position because they never seen this before. They've never seen this before. So now they're going to be in this defensive position of what if we cut it and the market rips to your point, you just said the market will rip the second they cut that. And the cynical view of this is the market rips as we go into the midterms, which is the same claim the Republicans made about the cuts that Biden did in September right before the election. Some level of politics and gamesmanship going on here, but you have to hand it to the Trump administration for what they're doing with this sort of 2.0 playbook.
If this was sacks premeditated and we all just didn't understand it, fine. The outcome here is this administration has to live or die by the results of these 600 billion from the EU, 550 billion in investment from Japan. You put those two together. IS, let Nick is that at the event. Is that going into the sovereign wealth fund and how does that get you know, spend? And he said at the discretion of the president and he's advising him to spend it on putting more nuisance. So that's fascinating. We have a trillion dollars now that we can put into nuclear power plants and these small module reactors. And that's what let Nick said. He wanted to spend it on. He's going to advise the president spend it on. But now we've got them investing in our country. It's absolutely brilliant if it works out.
Look at what we're we are. April 2nd was liberation day. And the media went crazy. They were predicting a black Monday, the market crash. They basically tried to spook the markets and create fear. They said that we're going to go into a session or depression. And now look at where we are. Since a few months later, all the markets are at all time highs. Trump has extracted billions of dollars in these trade deals that people didn't even know yet. And we just had a few moves because of the media, by the way. And we just had those moves because they were scared. And we just had a 3% GDP growth print.
So I don't think that's going to be what I think happened is that President Trump saw an opportunity here that other people ignored. It's like when a CEO comes in to a company, a new CEO comes in. And that company's been mismanaged for a decade. But it's got wonderful assets on its balance sheet. It's got a market position that's still very strong. This has been underutilized. And he came in and understood that the United States had tremendous leverage in all these trade negotiations. Actually, they weren't even trade negotiations then. In all these trade relationships.
And he was able to essentially renegotiate all of them. And look at the results. I mean, they're just staggering. And everyone said that, oh, Trump's going to check in all these, not going to hang tough. It's all these other countries that have folded like, I don't know, launchers. I mean, they have all capitulated. Yeah, they're fully electric. It's really remarkable. But you're not answering my question. Was this pre-meditated? Give us some insight here. I don't know what this is. What are you talking about? When they came out and they was like, oh, 100% tariffs, 200% tariffs, the market was not making that reaction based upon the media. They were making it based on Trump was saying.
So was it pre-meditated this shock and bore shock and reasonable negotiating strategy? Or do you not know? Well, you're not privy to it. Look, I'm not speaking as an insider here, but we said at the time that all of that was happening and Larry Summers was on the pod preaching doom is that all of that was an opening bid. It was all the start to a negotiation. And we had to see where it ended up and that the administration still had to stick the landing.
I got to say based on EU, Japan, and South Korea. I mean, this is looking really good right now. Well, listen, it's the top five that are like 90% of the negotiation. As Trump said, there was another little note he did in the keynote when he kind of drifted into his different things he wanted to talk about where he said, I don't even need to know about the bottom countries. I've never even heard that names of some of these countries. He just got a nail of what? The top five, the top 10. And we're done.
And this administration has to stick the landing as well because these are handshake deals right now. They have to be inked. They have to be approved. So there's a lot more work left to be done. But I am one of the pieces as well. There's one of the pieces. So we talked about the fact that Europe has 0% tariffs on American products, but even after this deal that the European products that coming into the US won the 15% tariff.
And we're not including the $600 billion of European investment in the US. We're not including the 750 billion of sales of American energy to Europe. Okay, just talking about the tariff, that 15% and what we're seeing now across the board is generating about 300 billion a year of additional tariff revenue that goes to help balancing the budget. So 300 billion a year of a 10 years is $3 trillion. That is a big number. It's incredible.
Yeah. It's got to take care of it. So I don't know if that completely satisfies Freeberg, but that's a big help. Freeberg, do you think that there is a chance that inflation is going to tick up because of all this? That's a lot of money being pushed into the system again. So could we see a three hand a lot inflation in the next six months? Or what's the probability of that in your mind? That's the big concern everybody has.
I don't know. I don't know. I think the big question, if you look at each of these categories, one way to think about it is how much margin is the seller making? If they're making 30% margin and we charge a 15% tariff, does their margin go down to 15% or do they take their margin down to 20% and raise the price by 5%. What's the right balance? And what will happen is that now with this effective tariff, which is a sort of tax on the system, a tax on the market, market will find its kind of new equilibrium where the buyers are willing to pay X and the sellers are willing to sell it Y.
And I think every market is going to be a bit different. So I think in some of these categories, we will see significant inflation where there is a very thin margin that the seller has in selling. And in some of the categories where there's a monopoly and they have a big margin, they're going to eat it because they don't want to have competition and they don't want to see pricing competition emerge. So I think we'll see it vary by category and we'll see how it goes.
All right, listen, this has been another amazing, amazing episode of the number one podcast in the world according to Jensen Wohn from Nvidia and me and great job everybody. Great job to everybody. It's a classic goal. Great job, everyone. I think I'm going to have a great job. Even Jensen got a great job. And actually I want to thank Freeberg because Freeberg did most of the work to organize the AI summit. He did.
Let's give him a big shout out. There's me and the president. Great job. I mean, guys, can we just make a note here? One of us can run for Manchurian candidate president in eight years and look at me and the president. I put on the red tie out of respect. I put my blue suit on out of respect for the president. Does it not look like I'm running? Jason. Hmm. Dot com.
All right, listen, that photo could be like, you know, that famous photo of Bill Clinton meeting JFK, you know, that could be the thing that that could be the thing that I'm in like the president. The president image that propels you to the presidency. I'm in like, thank you for giving me that and for putting me in touch with each member of the administration directly. Thank you for that.
And we had a wonderful tour of the White House the next day. What a wonderful tour. Some of us had at the White House the next day. But in a lot of state, no, I was. Did you? No, I was taking the pictures. That was my joke. This was all of you guys were going to give you a tour. We could have gotten you a tour.
I mean, listen, I love Jay. Did you ask for a tour? I did ask for this. I'm not the kind of guy that is kind of a guy. Some of us have actual meetings to do, bro. I mean, you're good. I got a lot going on. I got a lot to announce. It happened in the coming weeks. But sax did you take us behind the scene here? And I think it was hilarious. So I don't mind getting trolled by the president. It was great. But how did you, how did that go about behind the scenes that he now that showed? Don't don't leave it. What did you do? I mean, because that looked like it was workshoped. Or is he just naturally, I mean, he's obviously naturally comedic. But did you put that in with him? Did you have to clear that with him?
Hey, Duncan, J. Cal, whatever. Well, they asked me for the names of my co-hosts so they could do shout outs. So I gave him the list. Oh no. And I just, I said, and I put even J. Cal. So I didn't tell a pro. But I mean, he went for it. No, he got the, we went through it. So he got the joke. He got the joke. We went through it. He got the laugh. He got it. He heard the laugh and he doubled down. I thought it'd be funny. But no, we went through everyone's names beforehand. And I mean, talk about EQ. The guy's EQ is off the charts, man. He just, he's actually, I suggested, I suggested the name J. Cal. And he's like, no, no, give me his full name. He thought was more courteous.
Oh, he's actually a very courteous man. Yeah. He wanted to use your full name, not just your nickname. I think what he probably realized was for my parents who were just over the moon. So thank you for that. It meant a lot to my dad, who's that's lovely. Yeah, he's been struggling a bit. And it really, let me get a little choked up here. My dad's been struggling a bit. And I got to see him in Brooklyn after that. And we were on a tech stream and it meant a lot, you know, because for a kid from Brooklyn to get a shout out from the president of the United States is you made it. I mean, it's just your father, your father should be really proud of you.
Thanks, man. I appreciate it, boys. All right, listen, for your Sultan of science, the amazing Dave Freiburg, we'll put that event together in 10 days and then jumped right in and he's got to run a hollow at the same time. So I just want to give our MVP of the. Would you give us up to the Hill and Valley guys for partnering with us? Yeah, Jacob. Jacob Helper did a great job. I love Jacob. I love Jacob. And Delian and Chris. Thank you, guys. They were our partners on the event. Hill and Valley did a great job. Yeah, I love those guys. But yeah, just I'm giving the MVP of the week for of the besties to you, David Freiburg, you put a lot of work into this. So we appreciate it. You're running a hollow and then you went right into working on the all in summit, which will be added a couple of weeks.
谢谢,伙计们。我非常感激你们。好吧,听着,为了我们的科学苏丹——了不起的Dave Freiburg,我们在10天内组织了这个活动,他同时还在运行一个hollow项目。所以,我想给我们这周的MVP颁给你们。感谢Hill and Valley团队与我们的合作,是的,Jacob。Jacob Helper做得很棒。我很喜欢Jacob。还有Delian和Chris。谢谢你们。你们是我们活动的合作伙伴。Hill and Valley做得很棒。我很喜欢那些家伙。不过,我想把这周的最佳MVP颁给你,David Freiburg,你为此付出了很多努力。我们非常感激。在你忙于hollow项目的同时,还全力以赴地投入到all in峰会的筹备中,这将会在几周后举行。
Chimap, thank you for buttoning up. We're getting a little complaints from the HR department about the buttons. And so we've now renegotiated that. I'm going to I'm going to button three buttons now and walk around for it. Perfect. And Sacks, I will see you at the White House. JD and I will be in the commissary. So we'll invite you to lunch with us. I'm a JD. It's called the Navy mess. Actually, in the most, yeah. And you know what? I'm just having us as well. And who's our energy guy, Chris, Chris said he wanted to jump in on that. So maybe you can join us. I'll invite you now that I am deep into the administration.
