On the All-In podcast, David Friedberg called OpenAI's math release 'probably the biggest day of discovery in human history,' citing proofs with implications spanning electronics, quantum computing, aircraft systems, and medical diagnostics. Jason Calacanis pressed him to clarify: he meant all of human history.
Chamath, meanwhile, urged Silicon Valley to shelve AI consciousness and extinction talk for 12–18 months and instead show AI curing cancer or tangibly improving lives, warning that conflicts over power, money and resources are coming and will center on AI.
