Spatial intelligence as the next frontier for AGI
Consider vision: the ability to understand, navigate, interact with, comprehend, and communicate about the 3D world. This journey took evolution 540 million years. The first trilobite developed vision underwater 540 million years ago. Vision then triggered an evolutionary arms race. Before vision, animals were simple for half a billion years. But the next 540 million years, with the ability to see and understand the world, sparked this evolutionary arms race. Animal intelligence began to escalate. For me, solving the problem of spatial intelligence—understanding, generating, reasoning about, and acting within the 3D world—is a fundamental AI challenge.

Reputation as currency for business loans
First, your reputation opens doors you didn't even know existed. Jimmy's decade of paying on time, showing up early, and delivering made his track record his only real asset. This prompted a Royal Bank manager to not only offer him a loan but to actively fight for him to get one. Second, Patterson believed in himself and was willing to go all in, putting everything on the line. The dealership Jimmy inherited was, in his words, "run like a country club." His previous operation sold 1,000 cars monthly, while Marshall Pontiac barely managed 25. Patterson applied everything he'd learned, reducing staff from 100 to 57 and bringing in his own battle-tested salesmen from his previous dealership. No sentiment, no second chances.

America's unique blend of ideas and culture
What makes America so special? Looking at this election and the ongoing conversations between tech and government mandates, J.D. Vance, who I believe understands the fusion of tech and government better than anyone, states, "America is a nation. We are not just an idea." I strongly agree. This is a place with history and culture. It's a fusion of extraordinary ideas from liberal democracy, combined with an understanding of the culture that makes America great, and an unparalleled freedom, liberalism, and capitalism.

AI Consolidation, Biotech Opportunities, and World Models with Sarah and Elad

No Priors: Artificial Intelligence | Technology | Startups

No Priors: Artificial Intelligence | Technology | Startups
Elad Gil · serial entrepreneur and startup investor · Startup consolidation strategy to combat incumbents
Listen
"My view is that the market's going to see two types of consolidation. There's going to be product consolidation and there'll be actual buys. And the Codium windsurf acquisition by OpenAI is the first step in that. But if I was a number one or number two in a market and I was a startup, I'd consider merging with the other party. If there were the two main startup players because the real threat will be fighting the incumbents. And so I would kind of get ahead of it and say, okay, let's stop the startup to startup war and let's just focus on winning against the three or four incumbents."

#226 Garry Tan: Billion-Dollar Misfits — Inside Y Combinator's Startup Formula

The Knowledge Project with Shane Parrish

The Knowledge Project with Shane Parrish
Garry Tan · President of Y Combinator · The importance of earnestness in successful founders
Listen
"The number one thing that I want that comes to mind for me is earnest. So what does earnest mean? Incredibly sincere. I think basically what you see is what you get. Like you're not trying to be something else. It's like authentic, but even humble in that respect."
