Re-engineering the Semiconductor Supply Chain with Intel CEO Lip Bu Tan
Lip-Bu Tan’s Intel turnaround starts with faster accountability, balance-sheet repair and product simplification, while inference and agentic AI could lift CPU demand from one per eight GPUs toward one per four or one per one.Intel Foundry remains a costly trust and supply-chain bet against TSMC, with IP, yield and cycle time as the proof points; its potential may surface around 2030–2032 as packaging, power and materials become harder bottlenecks.
From SaaS to AI-First: How Companies Are Reshaping Innovation
The “SaaSpocalypse” overgeneralizes a real shift: Decagon and Sierra show support moving from per-seat software toward usage-priced agents, while products such as Samsara retain hardware, distribution, enterprise sales, and support moats.GPT-4-equivalent pricing fell 150x in 21 months as Gil’s team puts AI labs’ growth from $1 billion to $10 billion at roughly a year, shifting the bottleneck to trustworthy human review and defenses against one- to two-year displacement cycles.
NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang on Reasoning Models, Robotics, and Refuting the “AI Bubble” Narrative
Reasoning, search grounding, and confidence routing have made tokens valuable enough for customers to pay, while AI factories expand demand for chips, energy, construction, electrical, networking, and technical labor.Falling inference costs, open-source research, programmable hardware, and vertical specialists challenge permanent frontier concentration, but industrial deployment still requires reliability approaching 99.99999%; energy capacity, export controls, robotics adoption, and sustained demand will test NVIDIA’s anti-bubble thesis.
No Priors Ep. 144 | The 2026 AI Forecast with Sarah & Elad
AI adoption is “blinding” among doctors, lawyers, and compliance teams, even as a weak Nvidia quarter could trigger panic; verticals such as coding, medical scribing, and legal software such as Harvey are consolidating.Monitor robotics timeline slippage and whether an AI IPO becomes a reflexive benchmark trade; Sarah forecasts somebody will make “hundreds of millions of dollars trading markets with LLMs” in 2026.
Jared Kushner: BrainCo, Affinity Partners, and the Geopolitics of AI
Jared KushnerSarah GuoElad Gil
Affinity Partners seeks returns through governance judgment, networks, and hands-on execution, while favoring Gulf and Latin American tailwinds and contrarian opportunities such as Albania.BrainCo is productizing reusable AI infrastructure for institutions, with a permitting workflow reduced from over 40 steps to 35 at over 90% accuracy; adoption, talent, project selection, and energy permitting remain key constraints.
No Priors Ep. 100 | With Sarah and Elad
DeepSeek’s R1 is a genuine open-source reasoning advance, but its reported $5.5 million final run was not the full program, tempering claims that frontier AI has become cheap.GPT-4-equivalent inference costs fell 180x in 18 months, while Deep Research raises the analyst bar but still requires users to audit outputs.Frontier clusters may retain distribution and recursive research advantages, yet 2025’s opportunity map favors vertical AI, agents, autonomy, and domain-specific data generation.
