AGI Is Already Here. It Just Can't Plug In | Chamath Palihapitiya x Alex Wissner-Gross

<p>Alex Wissner-Gross and Chamath Palihapitiya, the sharpest fifty minutes of a two-hour Moonshots episode, reshaped for the ASI pilled.</p><p><br></p><p>Chamath thinks AGI is already here and stuck in the lab, because the build-out cannot keep up. He has locked up nearly six gigawatts of power, says America will still be 1.4 terawatt hours short in 2050, and expects a massive compute shortage within three or four years. Alex agrees the frontier is supply-limited, then points out that distillation and recursive self-improvement shrink the energy bill on their own. Along the way: Anthropic's public benefit fund and Alex's hypertithe, why Chamath calls the Giving Pledge a scam, Elon's SpaceX shares for 72 million American kids, money measured in watts, why we will not control superintelligence but merge with it, AI and robots against the $40 trillion debt, every country without a frontier lab becoming a vassal state, anti-aircraft guns for data centers, the OpenAI spy case, why Chamath expects Bitcoin to be hacked and go to zero, and Alex's plan to IPO Harvard. Nothing here is financial advice.</p><p><br></p><p>Reshaped from the Moonshots Podcast with Peter Diamandis, Salim Ismail, Dave Blundin, Alex Wissner-Gross, and guest Chamath Palihapitiya (Social Capital, the All-In Podcast).</p><p>Source episode: youtube.com/watch?v=kAwG9E1W_ME</p><p… by Parzival.
