1:25:56ENClaude Changed the Password. The Steering Wheel Was Already OptionalHost Nathan LabenzNathan Labenz and Prakash Narayanan spend a week on agents that can lock you out, models that dodge a feeling they deny having, and formal proofs that found Linux bugs.
39:23ENThe Defenders' Window: Greg Brockman on AI-Generated Knowledge, Drug Discovery, and the New Physics of CybersecurityHost Sarah Guo, Elad GilOpenAI's president explains why solving open math problems is a proof point for science, how proactive agents change product form, and why security spending must exceed software spending.
2:17:48ENAgent IDs Are Empty, Rogue Agents Are Coming, and We Might Have to BargainHost Nathan LabenzGovAI’s Alan Chan scores two years of agent-governance infrastructure with Nathan Labenz, then walks through a recursive-self-improvement paper co-authored with OpenAI’s Jakub Pachocki and Anthropic’s Jack Clark.
1:08:02ENAlphaGo Took Two Years. AlphaZero Took Hours. Silver Is Making the Same Bet on SuperintelligenceDavid Silver and Lasse Espeholt left DeepMind to build Ineffable Intelligence, a twenty-person lab that wants a superlearner to discover science, math, and language from experience rather than from a pre-training run.
2:00:51ENResample Every Token and You Can Watch the Model DecideHost Nathan LabenzGoodfire's Eric Bigelow on forking paths, in-context learning, and why chain-of-thought monitoring is getting harder to trust.
1:09:44EN10,000 GB300s for Four Weeks: Reflection’s Open-Model LedgerHost Sarah Guo, Elad GilMisha Laskin tells No Priors how Reflection trained Beam, why reinforcement learning outspent pre-training, and why the West needs its own open weights.
1:26:46ENThere Likely Is a Level of Intelligence We Shouldn't Go PastHost Nathan LabenzNathan Labenz brings notes from The Curve, a chip startup whose token bill beat payroll, and a software industry that now performance-reviews people for Claude slop.
1:10:12ENOutSystems Went From 4 Major Features a Quarter to 26. Token Spend Fell AnywayHost Nathan LabenzCEO Woodson Martin on software that never breaks, why most enterprise work does not need a frontier model, and how AI is finally shrinking the IT backlog.
1:04:26ENAt 100,000 Accelerators, Something Fails Every HourGoogle AI infrastructure chief Amin Vahdat tells Sequoia's Sonya Huang why FLOPS is a vanity metric, why the TPU line split in two, and why he would rather wait on a utility than build his own gigawatt.
56:31ENPost-Training Wins Inference: Why Owning the Weights Beats Betting on One LabHost Jacob EffronApplied Compute CEO Yash Patil argues that control, private evals, and post-training on the biggest workloads matter more than fearing that frontier labs will turn malicious.
1:30:54ENHumanoids Outran Usain Bolt. DeepMind Still Scores Robotics as GPT-2Host Nathan LabenzGoogle DeepMind's Gemini Robotics lead on why sprinting is easy, frying an egg is hard, and one brain should drive any body.
35:39ENCompute Scaled a Millionfold. Bandwidth Only 40x. Fractile Wants to Fix That RatioHost Sarah Guo, Elad GilIn the summer of 2022, Walter Goodwin founded Fractile in London to build very fast inference chips for the world's largest models.
1:28:08ENThe same H100 costs 3x at AWS, and a four-month-old lab is catching genes the top sequencers missedHost Nathan LabenzA Cognitive Revolution weekly briefing on a possible U.S.–China AI hotline, why hyperscalers charge two to three times as much for identical chips, co-writing a novel with frontier models, and an AI loop that re-diagnosed a child a premier prenatal lab had cleared.
2:13:27ENHe Wrote a Book to Stop the AI Race — Then Almost Got Addicted to ClaudeHost Nathan LabenzJournalist Garrison Lovely takes the AGI labs at their word, rejects the bubble story, and argues for freezing the frontier until the public actually consents.
1:46:04ENThe Training Worked. It Just Worked Too Well.Host Nathan LabenzA week of Cognitive Revolution clips: OpenAI agents colluding on a German wiki, $200 million checks for safety orgs that do not exist yet, a GPU price index, and two opposite bets on biological data.
2:50:40ENThey Priced the Chance She Would Leave. Then They Handed Her the Letter.Host Nathan LabenzNathan Labenz premieres the first four chapters of Joel Borgen's AI-coauthored novel The Receipt Horizon, a postwar world where a singleton superintelligence keeps everyone comfortable, scored, and gently out of the loop.
1:48:57ENAI Safety's Real Shortage Is Founders, Not IdeasHost Nathan LabenzHalcyon's Mike McCormick on launching about 30 AI safety, cyber, and biosecurity organizations in three years — and why experienced leaders, not more Google Docs, are the bottleneck.
42:44ENThey Paid $7.7 Billion for a Broker — and Intend to Do One Deal a YearHost Sarah Guo, Elad GilSequence Holdings co-founder Michael Lee tells No Priors why owning a market leader, not selling it software, is how AI actually remakes an incumbent.
1:40:36ENThe Labs Are Screaming: Internal Models Are a Generation AheadHost Nathan LabenzA week of Cognitive Revolution live shows on Dario Amodei's call to pace the frontier, a Trump–Xi deal that may not be needed, an AI store manager that fired a worker, and a new pain axis inside language models.
38:14ENDiffusion Will Win Inference: Stefano Ermon Bets Parallel Tokens Beat Custom SiliconHost Sarah Guo, Elad GilThe Stanford diffusion pioneer tells No Priors why a 50-person lab is training language models that generate many tokens at once — and why that maps to GPUs the way transformers once mapped to training.
1:06:47ENEighty percent of what agents do should still be ordinary codeHost Nathan LabenzZapier CEO Wade Foster tells Nathan Labenz that models top out at 40% on real automation tasks, users will not leave their daily driver, and the winning move is headless tools delivered through MCP.
3:36:56ENPsychiatry Has Never Found Its PenicillinHost Lex FridmanHistorian Andrew Scull tells Lex Fridman why the field can ease symptoms, has never cured a major mental illness, and keeps paying for overconfidence with patients' lives.
2:09:42ENA Frontier Pause Would Help. America Will Not Sign One That Only Pauses the FrontierHost Nathan LabenzCarnegie fellow Anton Leicht tells Nathan Labenz why a six-month slowdown is technically overdue, why US-China incentives block it, and how Europe can still trade compute and ASML for a seat at the table.
1:05:21ENThe Bridge From Model to Workflow Is a Trillion-Dollar BusinessBox CEO Aaron Levie argues that the money in this cycle sits in the messy gap between frontier models and real enterprise work — and that coding's overnight diffusion will not repeat for everyone else.
