00:01:16

00:01:25
interested in something other than politics and for Friedberg to not have a panic attack. Chumaf we pray that our

00:04:46
of the odds and I think is our is our first speaker here. This speaker is not on the program. Not on the program. But
00:04:52
I did notice there was a little bit of security here today. Little extra security. Above and beyond
00:05:01
security pain in the ass security. Uh please welcome me in joining vice presidential candidate Jamie Vance.
00:05:09
Welcome to the Lion's Den. Been a big fan of the pod for a while. I think my first appearance. So it's good to be
00:05:14
with you. If you look at the real innovation of the American economy, it's been in the world of software. If you
00:05:20
look at where the economy has been most stagnant, it's been in basically the heavily regulated parts of the economy.
00:05:26
When I think about tech, one of the things I'd like us to do is broaden the aperture a little bit. Ladies and
00:05:30
gentlemen, Katie V. The idea that I'm going to change my vote because someone else wants me to is
00:05:42
never going to happen. If you find someone with whom you agree with 100% of the time, either they're lying to you or
00:05:47
you're not thinking for yourself. Give up the heroin needle of prestige. The way to change those institutions is not
00:05:54
to give money to those places or join the board of them or delude yourself with the idea that you can transform
00:05:59
them from within. It's to build new things. And in building new things and creating competition, it forces the
00:06:05
other people to change. Welcome to your new boss. Like, what do you mean? I said, that's the guy you're
00:06:11
going to work for. like we just bought his company. I said, "Yeah, he kicked your ass with little resources out there
00:06:16
in the market. You're going to learn something from it." Yeah. Welcome to New York Boss.
00:06:28
They wondered if there was a better way to find information on the web. On September 15th, 1997, they registered
00:06:35
Google as a website. one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our times. Someone who
00:06:41
really wanted to think outside the box. If that sounds like it's impossible, let's try it. No introduction needed.
00:06:48
I just agreed to this last minute, you know. I don't know where you pulled up that clip so fast. You guys are team is
00:06:53
amazing. Kind of amazing. This is kind of amazing. I didn't actually understand to be perfectly honest. I thought you
00:07:00
guys just kind of had a podcast and like a little get together or something, but
00:07:05
this was kind of mind-blowing. Sergey, thank you so much for joining us. Please join me in thanking Sergey. Thank you,
00:07:12
Freeberg. You don't have to kill him in the first 3 hours, man. My lord, we started with the red meat cuz we wanted
00:07:17
to make sure saxs showed up. So, well played. Um, everything is proceeding as I foresee.
00:07:26
My one contrarian view on the election is that it's not going to be close. You know, most presidential elections
00:07:31
aren't. I think, you know, one side is is simply going to collapse. Just give us a state of
00:07:36
politicians post this current batch. My experience in the news business dealing with politicians leads me to believe
00:07:42
that the people in this room and on this stage over your two-day conference are the people we need to be looking to for
00:07:47
our future leaders. Well said, ladies and gentlemen. Megan Kelly. I think it's crazy. They really built up
00:07:54
the suspense by keeping everything so top secret. They set the bar really high. Crazy lineup. Doesn't get any better.
00:08:04
He's a big man. Elon Musk himself, you know, it's it's amazing. Ladies and gentlemen, our bestie and the
00:08:12
greatest entrepreneur of this generation, Elon Musk. The price of freedom of speech is not
00:08:26
cheap, is it? I think it's like 44 billion, something like that. Just give her give or take a billion. The
00:08:33
rate of improvement of AI is faster than any technology I've ever seen by far. I
00:08:37
think the actual issue is like, well, how do we find meaning in a world where AI can do everything we can do a bit
00:08:42
better? Once you have general purpose humanoid robots, autonomous vehicles, you can build anything. There's no
00:08:48
actual limit to the size of the economy. Hi, ladies and gentlemen, our bestie Elon Musk.
00:09:00
All right, guys. Thank you for an amazing day. We're going to start the Top Gun party at the Santa Monica Pier
00:09:05
at 7:00 p.m. See you all tomorrow. Thank you. [Music] It was fantastic just to stay consistent
00:09:32
and just blew our minds. JD Vamps was a surprise. We're very happy to see that. It is everything I could have hoped for.
00:09:39
And I'm next to my favorite bestie here. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Sax is skipping science corner this
00:10:14
morning and he'll show up for a panel with John Mirchimer and Jeffrey Sachs. We'll miss him, but I'm not sure he
00:10:21
would have said a word during Science Corner. We've got a conversation with an astronaut, a panel on Eevee Talls. Oh,
00:10:28
then we've got the Gecko robotics demo. Where is Sachs? There's like a 15% chance that Sachs thought it was a one
00:10:35
day event. I've practiced the prepared part of my my presentation a few times. I have not
00:10:43
practiced this demo. Oh yeah, it is going to be chaos. There's going to be a Uranus joke.
00:10:49
[Music] Do you know where Sax is at the moment? He's probably somewhere between the
00:10:54
bedroom, the front door, and the car. We don't know exactly, but It always works out.
00:11:05
First up, we are excited to welcome to the stage astronaut. What do you hope? It's a convenient quirk of the scale of
00:11:16
the objects in our solar system that if you make the Earth a basketball, this is
00:11:22
the Earth, then the Moon is a tennis ball. So in this scale, it's 24 ft. You can do the math. If you could imagine
00:11:29
3/4 of a mile away in this scale, that's Mars. 34 miles away is Uranus. I heard some uh
00:11:45
laugh. I love it. You love that. Sax, thanks for coming to the event today. Appreciate it.
00:11:58
Hey, how are you guys? Good. How are you? Very good, thanks. Thanks for coming out.
00:12:03
I'm excited for this panel. We're going to talk about foreign policy. We have, I
00:12:07
think, two of the most interesting, imminent, renowned thinkers about foreign policy. Professor John Mir
00:12:13
Shimmer from University of Chicago and Professor Jeffrey Saxs from Colombia. So, great to have you guys here today.
00:12:20
There are three great powers in the system. The United States, China, and Russia. China is a pure competitor to
00:12:27
the United States. It's the most serious threat to the United States. CIA directors never tell the truth. If they
00:12:32
do, they lose their job. We only have a minute left and it's We got to add 5 minutes. This is the best panel ever
00:12:37
been on life. Can we just add 10 minutes? We got to add five or 10 minutes. The best panel. Is this the
00:12:43
best panel ever? Sorry, I'm calling an audible. This was the most amazing panel of the event so far. Give it up. If you
00:12:50
don't know Michael, you shouldn't be here. Since they started the All-In podcast, I
00:12:58
have applied 15 times to be a bestie. How much do you feel like the business is constrained and challenged now by
00:13:08
these social movements? Well, I mean, let's start with the woke movement. Okay. I wasn't going to say it. Okay,
00:13:14
here we go. I mean, I I don't have any problem raising it if it doesn't bother you guys. I think I'm okay with it. No.
00:13:25
Where do you think we're at right now? I mean, is it all AI all the time? How are
00:13:29
you thinking about it? We're at the precipice of the greatest moment in the history of enterprise software and of
00:13:35
cloud computing. Got Mark Benos. And then we have a secret guest. Travis Kalanick is coming, founder of Uber and
00:13:42
now Cloud Kitchens. He hasn't spoken at a conference or to the press in close to
00:13:47
a decade. So, it's kind of a big deal. [Music] I can't believe I get to sit down with
00:13:57
one of the most famous investors in Uber. So, I'm honored. I'm honored to be here. I loved every minute, but when you
00:14:07
fall in love again, you don't think about the X very much, right? Would you consider doing what Steve Job
00:14:15
did and coming back and merging Cloud Kitchens with Uber? So, you're saying there's a chance this would be the
00:14:22
return of the king. This would be my dream. If you came back, it would be a trillion dollar company with you back in
00:14:29
that seat. Would you take the seat again if if it was offered? [Music] Well, I definitely know who my head of
00:14:36
comms would be. On that note, Travis Kalan. [Music] The party for the Back to the Future
00:14:45
Casino Night will start at 7:00 p.m. tonight at the lot at Formosa. That is it for the announcements. Did you guys
00:14:50
enjoy it? Over here. [Music] Um, non sequator Dave, I heard you can battle rap. Yeah. My most impressive
00:15:23
talent is I can speak backwards. Oh, may we hear? Okay. Give me something to say.
00:15:27
We are driving down sunset. [Music] Tusy driving stone sunset. [Music] We got more.
00:16:02
[Music] Here's Have a great 2024 and we'll see you all next year. [Music]
