AI Layoffs, Compute Costs & Agents | Naveen Rao & Alex Finn on This Week in AI Episode 16

The future of AI isn't about whether the model is smart enough. It's about whether we can afford to run it. We dug into the AI cost panic, the energy wall that's coming for compute, and why "developers are disappearing" gets the economics exactly backwards.This week's roundtable: Naveen Rao (CEO of Unconventional AI, building brain-inspired analog chips, formerly sold companies to Intel and Databricks) and Alex Finn (founder of Henry Intelligent Machines and Creator Buddy).Thank you to our exclusive sponsor: PayPal Open, One Platform for All Business: http://paypalopen.com/ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbk9nSm8xZDBHMUZkTmFjTlZzam9HUkl2SzdJUXxBQ3Jtc0ttNEw4TWVkQ2tLeFNSbkpZeWc2V3ZvMXFnd2MzOUZPakJmR1BIOEVpa011OWI4ekNKV1RhLWNCdFp6ZmtlOUpzQVAxTndiTXZKWXJzajVqc1g4bE5LRHJGVFRmQzQtbjZBc1pRdzh0YW1ZVTZBcnIwcw&q=http%3A%2F%2Fpaypalopen.com%2F&v=51YfNaWJSJM]Timestamps:0:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51YfNaWJSJM] Cold open1:21 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51YfNaWJSJM&t=81s] Welcome to Episode 162:44 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51YfNaWJSJM&t=164s] Is the AI cost panic real, or just "token maxing"?5:08 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51YfNaWJSJM&t=308s] It's not the intelligence, it's how people use AI9:40 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51YfNaWJSJM&t=580s] Surgeons vs. shotguns: prompt discipline & matching models to tasks13:10 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51YfNaWJSJM&t=790s] Naveen's path from Intel and Databricks to Unconventional15:08 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51YfNaWJSJM&t=908s] Why developers aren't disappearing18:37 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51YfNaWJSJM&t=1117s] How energy overtook CapEx in the cost of compute21:34 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51YfNaWJSJM&t=1294s] The energy wall & getting to 3 orders of magnitude more efficient25:52 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51YfNaWJSJM&t=1552s] AI's PR problem & the data center backlash27:55 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51YfNaWJSJM&t=1675s] China's hunger vs. America's AI boogeyman30:38 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51YfNaWJSJM&t=1838s] Data center taxes, equity stakes & the politics of AI upside37:54 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51YfNaWJSJM&t=2274s] The Anthropic IPO & how these founders actually invest🔗 Guests:Naveen Rao, Unconventional AI: https://unconv.ai [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa2NPM2E1SkJEVnlJZW1rSVBVQmc1RExLNWRlUXxBQ3Jtc0trTnc2cERDdS12ZVI4TV93VjJHc05Cc2x3clAwWkpoak1lRkdqcnBjRXMyalZQTk5OeS1GSDd2eXY1MzJWMDAwakdmWnRUUzV6OENjMTA0bDBVT1NJQWpZZGp5X09YdndXRzc0NG9PcWZFaWQ4US05NA&q=https%3A%2F%2Funconv.ai%2F&v=51YfNaWJSJM] | https://x.com/AlexFinn [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbUk1QlpNTmF4V2N2c3JVM3p5Q2ltOGxncThkd3xBQ3Jtc0tsNmpEQWFKS3VzOHI1TGpZZ0RsZVdiMkc3RmlNc0U3QndkTDhyWXVsS3d3UEw2bjNQYlI0Wm5QLU5peXVGblRRT05XVnkzOEU1NWgxSmFNdnk2N2NNbnZfWlZ1TnhfOEpaNUVIb25YV2Fndl9NelpiOA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2FAlexFinn&v=51YfNaWJSJM]Alex Finn, Henry Intelligent Machines: https://meethenry.ai [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbHA1LXpaNE5FbHRZNnBrR2hnNnF2QkJDYXc2d3xBQ3Jtc0ttNEZhTmZfOW80VzZYa2w1dGk0emtlOFZVNGhwLURCVUVYSUlWTVo3Y2FiQ0d1MTlSV281ZjZlaXZ2OF9XTkxsRGdGZ3NzVHFHWU1DQWl4b0I0UnY4YW1iUWw1UGdRNG52cC13S3pCb1c4U2xQMHAtOA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fmeethenry.ai%2F&v=51YfNaWJSJM] | https://x.com/NaveenGRao [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbHp3UGVDYi1ZdzdVdGlvdU42c3JQYm1jdG92UXxBQ3Jtc0trbGd1RFRVdTZNTC1NX19EdlQ2eE1kejg1NzByNG1EWFphMjlHOVlOUFN3VEl5VTVsNmJOVG5YMFZTSEtXRVZvRjJMZ25aMFpJT2lLWVR5N09VWVlhWlJoSlZETFFpRW43UU1FWGZmemtGQmxXbVlFMA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2FNaveenGRao&v=51YfNaWJSJM]🔗 Host:Alex Wilhelm, This Week in Startups: https://x.com/alex [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbjV4ODNnZXZHaWVNeHEyOU45VHROUEtZRVJRQXxBQ3Jtc0trQjZ3LUVxdGFLQ3d3dHdQdGk5Z3lVdlBOYUxCdi0zU0RJRXo3YUZ4clZDaUxBVkNOdExWQnRtdUoyT2pnenBHdHl3SmgtcUFRbElrVzJKczZtSlE1OXBNeFlUOGVTZDhTWG91WnJaVVFKOS1yS1JBVQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2Falex&v=51YfNaWJSJM]🔗 Referenced in this episode:Unconventional AI (analog chips for AI): https://unconv.ai [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa2wxZUQ3RDlJa1JuQzkyclhuUXZIQ0xtb0wyUXxBQ3Jtc0trQmpTdWpUMVg2Q3d3YTV6MlQ4OEhkSEM2RGdjRVF0V01LSUtucS1JZy1aNGh4VlR4Qm0yVDh0YzU2MElqeXFWVTBSN2xJckVKcWF3bEc3cFBBRERQaFRET2FPM2plRENscjRDeGkzMzhrSW10Q1JVSQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Funconv.ai%2F&v=51YfNaWJSJM]MosaicML (acquired by Databricks): https://www.databricks.com/research/m...

"Nobody Lost Their Job to AI, Just the Promise of AI" - This Week in AI Ep 15

The AI jobs panic is here. Meta cut 8,000. Intuit cut 3,000. CapEx went up. Nobody can agree if anyone has actually lost a job to AI, or just to the promise of it. We dug into the GPU squeeze, the new craft of "reward engineering," Pope Leo's call to disarm AI, and why Chinese open-source models just blew past American ones in token usage. This week's roundtable: Erik Bernhardsson (CEO of Modal Labs, the serverless GPU cloud), Tanay Kothari (CEO of Wispr Flow, the voice dictation app every VC in the valley uses), and Richard Socher (CEO of Recursive Superintelligence and You.com).

How the 1% Will Own Compute (and What It Means for You)

The future of AI isn't a smarter chatbot. It's a model that watches your screen, listens to the room, and acts on what it sees. We dug into Thinking Machines' new interaction model, what it means for compute, and the layoff wave that's already here.This week's roundtable: Anastasios Angelopoulos (CEO of Arena, formerly LMArena), Nick Harris (CEO of Lightmatter, photonic computing chips), and Philip Johnston (CEO of StarCloud, building megawatt data centers in space).

Is Anthropic a Cult? AI Beats ER Doctors & Recursive Self-Improvement | This Week in AI E12

This week, JCal sits down with two builders working on opposite ends of the AI stack: Naveen Rao, co-founder and CEO of Unconventional AI (his $4.5B startup rethinking the computer from first principles), and Trey Holterman, co-founder and CEO of Tennr, the platform automating the messy paperwork that decides whether millions of patients ever get the care they need. They break down why AI already beats ER doctors at diagnosis, why Epic is the most hated company in healthcare, what it takes to disrupt healthcare's $5 trillion incumbents, and whether $1.1 trillion in hyperscaler CapEx will pay off before the energy runs out.
