Episode notes
Massive Compute Bet Signals Future Demand
- OpenAI's $300B Oracle deal signals a prediction of vastly higher future compute demand and AI embedding in every device.
- The headline reflects a market bet on growth, not current cash in hand.
AGI Progress Feels Different By Stage
- Sam Altman frames AI progress as stages: zero-to-one felt huge, one-to-ten is already accepted, and ten-to-hundred may be less viscerally shocking.
- That implies rapid technical scaling may be hidden from everyday experience until agents do people's jobs.
Prepare For Always-On AI Agents
- Expect autonomous AI agents to run continuously doing useful work; plan workflows that integrate persistent agents today.
- Evaluate whether to rely on hosted providers like OpenAI or cheaper open-source alternatives as usage scales.
