1h 43min

The podcast discusses Ken Griffin's warning that AI is almost certainly a bubble, with Chamath supporting this view by revealing that 90% of AI spending comes from 1% of companies, and 80% of that is from unprofitable VC-backed startups creating circular revenue. The conversation also covers a major cybersecurity crisis involving the PHP vulnerability affecting 70% of websites, and analyzes the social and economic collapse in France, attributing it to excessive government spending, failed immigration policies, and unsustainable welfare systems.
