Moonshots ONLY Alex Wissner-Gross NVIDIA's $1 Trillion Prediction - ASI Pill EP240

Alex Wissner-Gross breaks down the seismic shifts from GTC, the Abundance Summit, and the frontier AI wars. NVIDIA goes all-in on industrial AI while export controls tighten against China. The Dyson swarm creeps closer as orbital data centers and neutrino communication enter the conversation. Reasoning models are hyper-deflating the cost of intelligence at 40x per year — and recursive self-improvement hasn't even kicked in yet. Post-transformer architectures loom. Anthropic eats OpenAI's lunch on enterprise while OpenAI scales back Stargate. Alex announces Physical Super Intelligence (PSI) and Get Physics Done — open source, Apache 2.0, already being used to design rocket engines. Travis Kalanick pivots cloud kitchens to mining robots. A professional robotics league launches in Boston. Uber positions as the aggregator for all autonomy. The CS job market collapses. Family offices ask about aliens instead of AI. And the final question: is uploading your consciousness really you?
