How to Build the Future (While Everyone Else is Panicking) | Pablos Holman

Silicon Valley is hungry for something real. For too long, the industry has been snacking on easy SaaS wins while the "hard stuff" - the atoms, energy, and machines that actually run the world - was left on the table. In Episode 214 of Silicon Zombies, world-renowned inventor and hacker Pablos Holman returns to the show to teach us how to hunt bigger game.Pablos is a "Zero to One" architect who treats the physical world like an open-source playground. From laying the groundwork for Blue Origin with Jeff Bezos to building nuclear reactors and robots at Intellectual Ventures Lab, Pablos uses technology as a superpower to reimagine the human experience.We’re diving deep into the "Great Rebuild":The Atoms vs. Bits Pivot: Why the smartest money is moving back to space, energy, and "ignored" industries.The Automation Upgrade: Dissecting how robots aren’t stealing jobs; they’re killing the drudgery to "power up" humanity.Beachhead Technologies: How orbital science and autonomous tech are the first steps toward a total global reimagining (and maybe even UBI).Anti-Doomerism: Why we refuse to hide under the covers. We have the best people and the best tools - it’s time to stop fearing the future and start building it.If you’re tired of the AI hype and ready for the Deep Tech revolution, this episode is your roadmap.00:00 Welcome Back Pablo00:53 Alaska Origins02:02 Blue Origin Beginnings03:06 Early Internet Hacker Kid05:06 Elon SpaceX Lessons06:28 Chipmaking Supply Chain09:14 Moores Law Is Over10:48 TerraFab And Timelines12:46 Energy Toaster Metric14:07 Deep Future Deep Tech15:55 Intellectual Ventures Lab18:23 Biggest Failure Manufacturing20:51 Tshirt Waste And Automation22:02 Salsa And Davos Hacking25:15 AI Doomerism Thesis25:47 AI Tools Renaissance26:45 Energy Crunch Reality27:00 Nuclear Fear Fork28:27 Buried Reactor Breakthrough30:33 Chipmaking Disruption32:12 Meaningful Human Futures36:42 China And Open Models40:11 Building An Invention Lab43:29 Hype Versus Reality45:52 Keeping Up Cognitively48:24 Closing Thanks And BooksFollow Pablos Holman:www.linkedin.com/in/pablos08Huge thanks to our sponsors for making this feast possible:The Park James Hotel (Our incredible host)TUOMNecodexTrueBindingUpMarket#SiliconZombies #DeepTech #PablosHolman #FutureOfTech #AI #Automation #Innovation
