Jensen’s Departure, NVIDIA’s succession plan, AI doomer response, and Demis talks RSI | MOONSHOTS #311 (recorded live)

Peter Diamandis (0:00)

A multi-layered, multi-dimensional situation that's unveiling itself live on stage around the world that impacts the most important evolution humanity's ever going through. And we'll get into that in a few minutes, but I'm curious, I got side railed yesterday when Outlook went down, and Microsoft just got on this. Any of you get impacted by that?

Alex Wissner-Gross (0:23)

Not at all. I'm so sorry that you use Microsoft products.

SPEAKER_3 (0:25)

I know, I know.

Peter Diamandis (0:26)

I know, Peter.

Salim Ismail (0:27)

I've been bugging you for like, what, a decade to get off?

SPEAKER_3 (0:30)

I know.

Alex Wissner-Gross (0:30)

I thought this was the Singularity, Peter. What's going on?

Peter Diamandis (0:33)

I know. Thank God I had my Gmail account up in operational so I can communicate with the world. A hundred thousand, 130,000 people in Outlook reported problems. This felt like just a little bit of what might happen if there's a cyberscale attack that takes down email. The world will freeze over.

It's crazy.

Alex Wissner-Gross (0:57)

There is a life after Outlook, though, so welcome to the post-Outlook, I guess.

Peter Diamandis (1:02)

Yeah.

Emad Mostaque (1:03)

I mean, any AGI would definitely kill off Teams, right?

Peter Diamandis (1:07)

Instantly. Take us out of our misery.

Alex Wissner-Gross (1:09)

I think it would leapfrog straight over Teams. Teams is an abomination.

Emad Mostaque (1:13)

Oh, my God.

Salim Ismail (1:14)

I don't think I've ever logged into it the first time successfully.

Emad Mostaque (1:19)

For sure. AB is kind of hard. But I think that this is one of many, right? It's every day that I get an email saying, we've been hacked, we've been hacked, we've been hacked.

My email box is full of them because now agent swarms roam the Internets attacking what they can.

Peter Diamandis (1:39)

Freezing communications, we are so used to having digital communications 24-7 literally around the clock, especially for you Alex, all the text messages I get from you, which I love. My God. Today, Friday the 13th is Starship Day.

A few hours from now, we're going to see the launch of Starship 15, which we'll see a booster capture and as well as 22 hours later, the capture of Starship. You know, I've been on the road. I was supposed to fly down to Starbase to see it, and I was like I could not bring myself to be gone another two days. But wishing Elon and the team their tremendous luck.

Alex Wissner-Gross (2:22)

We'll just have to watch the dual chopsticks remotely.

Peter Diamandis (2:24)

Yeah. And, you know, I just figured there'll be, you know, a thousand of those a year, ten thousand a year.

I'll catch a few of them along the way.

Emad Mostaque (2:33)

But it's always the early ones, the most exciting, right? Like, yeah. But it was wonderful to see.

Peter Diamandis (2:38)

Yeah, it is. And I can't wait. You know, I missed the live Apollo 11 launch. And I think all of you did because you weren't born yet. But but I'm looking forward to watching the starship launch for the moon and the starship launch for Mars. That will be cool.

Salim Ismail (2:53)

You know, when I lived in Tampa when I was younger, the minute the space shuttle lifted off on the other side of the coast, just a little bit, but you could see the whole thing because Florida is so flat. It was incredible to watch.

Peter Diamandis (3:07)

Yeah, for sure.

It is going to be amazing. All right. Well, let's let's kick things off. So welcome to Moonshots, everyone. If you're watching us on YouTube, welcome to a live broadcast on YouTube. We are your number one podcast in all things AI and exponential, your front row seat to this supersonic tsunami. I should say this hypersonic tsunami. You know, I'm here today with my dearest friends, Emad Mostaque, Alex Wissner-Gross, and Salim Ismail, my exponential brethren surfing the Singularity. Dave, unfortunately, couldn't make it today. I don't know where he is, but my guess is he's probably at the Nvidia loading dock searching for GPUs before things goes out.

Another crazy week in the Singularity. I mean, so, so, so much going on. You know, the number for this week is 13%.

That's how far Nvidia shares plunged on the open yesterday after Jensen resigned. They ended up closing at 4.3% down. You know, I've heard a number of subscribers that they really are enjoying our shorter hot take clips on X, and you can follow those on X at Moonshots underscore pod. And I just want to make another, you know, call out to everybody. Guys, you know, we're at like 550,000 subscribers right now. My kids will not respect me until we get to a million subscribers.
