GPT-6 Hits AGI? Tech Euphoria 2.0, SF Mansion Shortage, NYC Bans AI in Schools & Venezuela Oil Deal

Ladies and gentlemen, listen up, because we’ve got a list here that reads like a fever dream from the back room of a late-night nerd bar. - (0:00) Bestie intros: Happy 50th Chamath! Happy half-century of existential tech worship, Chamath—here’s to pretending you’re not just a guy in a hoodie counting your followers. - (1:17) OpenAI releases GPT-6 Astra: Have they reached AGI? Oh sure, Astra is so smart it can pretend to understand ethics while it’s busy optimizing the size of its own ego. AGI? It’s probably still asking for a raise and a nap. - (19:01) All-In Summit: Scholarships available! Scholarships! Because nothing says “free money” like a conference that costs more to park at than my rent. - (19:56) Dwarkesh's Hugging Face hack article sparks a Bernie Sanders AI ban. Bernie’s like: “No more AI… that smiles when it automates my job away.” And the robots? They’re filing for unemployment. - (37:03) EAs, AI-brained influencers, and the conflicts of interest. It’s a circus with big internet clowns juggling ethics like knives, and the knives are getting sharper as the followers grow fatter. - (59:26) Mamdani bans AI in NYC schools K-8. Because nothing says “future-ready” like banning the very thing that’s supposed to prepare kids for it. Do they also ban pencils because they’re too sharp? - (1:18:58) US-Venezuela oil deal. Yes, the same energy future we’re told to love because it’s “inthe interest of national security,” wrapped in a contract that makes you long for a good old-fashioned candy bar ad. The All-In Summit is only 1 week away!
