All right, everybody, welcome to the All In Podcast. Lots to talk about, but right off the bat, congratulations to David Friedberg, who is the chairperson of the All In Summit 2023 on the big announcement. We're going to be having the All In Summit September 10th to 12th at Royce Hall at UCLA in Los Angeles, California. Tickets are now on sale and selling out quick.
Friedberg, maybe you can just give people a little overview of why you selected the location and what you hope to accomplish in terms of the programming, just broad strokes, and then we'll get right into the show.

**David Friedberg** (0:36)
I think the general headline is today and tomorrow.

**Jason Calacanis** (0:39)
Where are we?

**David Friedberg** (0:40)
Where are we headed? I think exploring the state of the world and interesting things that we're all kind of excited about in the future, and we want to have great conversations with candid people that can give us kind of, you know, they're very honest on the ground points of view on everything from technology and markets, macro, science, society and culture. So we're going to talk across all those different topic areas and similar to what we did last year, the four of us on stage having conversations with these folks.
So I'm pretty excited. I think LA is a great location. There's obviously availability for people to stay. There's great venues for us to do the evening events. And it's certainly super accessible for folks from all over the world.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:27)
And we decided this year to have three tiers of tickets. We'll have the VIP tickets. We'll have scholarships for people who fill out a form so we can, you know, have really great diversity and representation at the event and up and comers, maybe who couldn't afford the VIP ticket. But in between, you decided to have a standard ticket as well. That's just 1500 bucks.
And there'll be a VIP lounge this year for the VIP tickets and...

**David Friedberg** (1:54)
And early access to the theater and a couple of special dinner parties. What is my wine budget so that I can take care of the VIPs properly? Talk about that one later.
What is my wine budget? Let me treat the VIPs like the VIPs that they are.

**Jason Calacanis** (2:08)
What would you need per night, per dinner, per person?

**David Friedberg** (2:12)
Depends on how many people. Per person.

**Jason Calacanis** (2:13)
We'll just say per person, per night. Is it like $200 a person, $100 per person per night? Because a person drinks a half a bottle of wine, two or three glasses.

**David Friedberg** (2:21)
Yeah, like, you know, three to five hundred. Maybe a thousand.

**David Sacks** (2:28)
What is the truffle budget for the conference?

**Jason Calacanis** (2:30)
The truffle budget?

**David Friedberg** (2:31)
No, it's too early for truffles. We can only have black truffles. No, it's September.

**Jason Calacanis** (2:37)
It's between white and black truffle season. It's a dead zone. You don't want to be in that. You got to either wait till the winter or you got to enjoy the early summer.

**David Friedberg** (2:44)
We have to have a conference in early November. At that point, we can focus the entire VIP budget, if it were according to me, would be spent on white truffles and white bullets.

**David Sacks** (3:06)
Queen of Kin Wands.

**Jason Calacanis** (3:10)
All right, everybody. Let's get started. We have Chamath Palihapitiya is with us as well.
The dictator himself and David Sacks, the Rain Man. Yeah, Google had their IO event. They announced Palm 2, Google's language model, is going to power 25 products, including Bard, which has got coding capabilities now, I guess to go up against GitHub's co-pilot. Palm 2 will have improved multilinguality.

**David Sacks** (3:35)
Wait, what?

**Jason Calacanis** (3:36)
Across 100 languages.

**David Sacks** (3:37)
Well, what?

**Jason Calacanis** (3:40)
It's going to support 100 languages.
And it's going to be better at mathematics and reasoning. They also announced Duet AI, which is basically Google Suite of generative AI tools for Doc, Sheets, Drive, all that kind of stuff, kind of like a copy of Microsoft's co-pilot tools that Sacks has talked about a whole bunch, the guide on the side, if you will. They teased a future where AI can summarize docs, which BoxAI, Aaron Levy is doing. They also previewed proactive prompts in the sidebar of Google Docs, and I talked about that a whole bunch on this week in startups. They're going to also now add images and replies.

**David Friedberg** (4:18)
Have you guys used Bard in the last 24 hours?
