The World is Ending

“And the low risk were exactly where you would think. It's construction workers, laborers. It's such things that in the real meat space, there it is. There's the heat map. Okay. You can see the very high risk. Very high risk, there are 25 million jobs at very high risk of disintermediation, and another, I believe, 34 million jobs at just high risk. So you're talking about 60 million jobs. What's the labor force? 120 million, 150 million in the United States, something like that? You're talking …”

“Code's not even the right verb anymore, right? But I have to express my will to my agents for 16 hours a day. Manifest. How can I have not just a single session of plot code or codex or some of these agent harnesses? How can I have more of them? How can I do that appropriately? The agent part is now taken for granted. Now the claw-like entities are taken for granted. And now you can have multiple of them. And now you can have instructions to them. And now you can have optimization over the …”

“Especially as this gets deployed more widely, I think it's been sort of quite tentatively implemented so far. And as that gets more capable and these areas can sneak in in surprising ways, like where is that? Like, where should we and where shouldn't we? And that's kind of, yeah, that's sort of the question that's not been answered. You know, one thing that we didn't say was that Secretary of Defense, Pete Hagseth, and the administration are designating anthropic as a result of some of this as …”

“stuff, then everyone in the world would be racing in a more cautious and careful way. We'd be racing to prevent the danger. But there's this weird thing going on where if you, you know, you and I probably both talk to people who are the top of the tech industry, and there's this subconscious thing happening where there's kind of a death wish among people at the top of the tech industry, meaning not that they want to die, but that they are willing to roll the dice because they believe something …”

“What? You're lifting the sanctions? You're rewarding Iran right now? And you see the Trump regime panicking because oil prices are going through the roof. Right now, $120 a barrel today. lots of people say we shouldn't be shocked now if that hits 200 per barrel you saw the price of diesel over five dollars a gallon the price of gas basically over four dollars a gallon right now everything's falling apart you have the trump regime lifting the sanctions on oil of iran or they're talking about …”

“The president continues to say as well that he had no idea, was shocked, that the Iranians had moved to take over the Strait of Hormuz. did you provide any intelligence that would say that it would be, that it was not likely that the Iranians would try to move on the strait? I'm not aware of those remarks, and I think those of us here at the table can point to the fact that historically the Iranians have always threatened to leverage their control of the strait of foremost. But why would the …”

“Well, and even that, though, ain't working. I mean, you look at the price per barrel, surging again, going to pass $100. dollars, you know, it just seems that it's decisions being made based on, as Donald Trump says, don't be a panicking. That's something that people who panic say, because who else says don't be a panicking? Who's ever said that phrase, like during a trial, don't be a panicking anybody where I'm not a panicking right now. I mean, what are we what are we talking about right …”

“This is the Bab al-Manda, translates about the Gate of Tears. The Houthis, which are here in these mountains, armed with Iranian missiles, and they fired anti-ship missiles at our ships going Mach 4. I mean, it was by the skill of our sailors that we didn't have massive losses on our ships. This is incredibly gnarly territory. We built an international coalition. It was pretty successful. But to build the confidence of these commercial shippers, it takes time and time and time and patience. It …”

“They have elected a new Ayatollah, the son of the older Khamenei, and he has been reported in various manifestations to be either dead or to be without legs. We're not really sure. They had a picture of a large crowd to celebrate his appointment as a supreme leader, and he didn't show up. But the problem is, for the Iranians, they know that each person who says he's the head of the Revolutionary Guard or the Quds Force or whatever, he's going to be dead. What did you make of the controversy …”

“let's get them over with how did this war start how did sorry this this current war this month old war against iran there's debate in the united states about how it started whether or not the united states was pursuing its own interest defending itself from iran or whether president”

“He is a part of this government, a very influential one, by the way, who has gotten his way in many other instances. And oftentimes characters like him are the ones who will just say it outright. What is actually happening, what the thinking and what the goals are behind the scenes. So you should absolutely believe him when he says that this is the goal and this is what they're going to try to achieve. Look, if you've been watching the show, we talked about this literally last week. We said …”

“And so he was on a podcast and he said something that I thought was alarming and shocking, and especially for this guy to say it, because he's rah-rah, you know, podcast bro, Trump guy. Here's what he had to say. Play this clip. I think some of the risks of what an escalatory approach could entail. So first of all, we're all seeing that the Straits of Ormuz are closed right now. We don't want that to persist longer than it has to, but there are actually worse outcomes than that. So if the …”

“And you give some meaningless guarantee of security to Iran. They give us some meaningless pledge not to go for nuclear weapons or long range ballistic missiles. And then we just let the supply chain work itself out over the course of the next 12 to 24 months. Right. That's obviously what we should be doing. And yet you look at how badly these guys have gacked every single decision so far all the way down to like where the minesweepers. sweepers like physically where are where are mind sweeping …”

“there that were a little unique to us. Obviously, you bought a home and like a lot of homeowners, interest rates are not the same now that they were a number of years ago. So your mortgage is at 7.125%, which historically is fairly high, right? It's not ideal. But then I see some other stuff on here and I see a line on here that I can't make make sense with what I know about you so far It almost like you like okay let just go on a tour of debt I want to make sure that we turn over every rock …”

“the one I grew up in. That has to be the North Star. Yeah. What causes homelessness? It's a big question. There are a few things. I mean, one, you can't ignore our broken housing market because in places where housing is cheap and widely available, you can have high rates of addiction and mental illness and most people can remain indoors even with those challenges. Typically, what happens if you actually look at it as a life cycle issue is someone who's already vulnerable for some reason. Could …”

“More from Donald Trump's ambassador to the United Nations, Whitaker. Here's what he's saying. He says all we can see so far is that Donald Trump's been the best diplomacy first peacemaker. And then he goes on to say that, you know, look, if this is a line that they keep repeating, that if Russia is aiding Iran, they're not doing a good job right now. Here, let's play this clip right here. What kind of relationship will it take moving forward now to possibly come back to the table? I mean, I'm …”

“Joining us now is Nicholas Mulder. He is a professor at Cornell University. He's an expert on economic warfare sanctions. And he wrote a very interesting piece in the Financial Times that we wanted to talk to him about. Let's go and put this up here on the screen. This really grabbed my attention. What you wrote is that the era of U.S. dominance in economic warfare is over. America has long used sanctions to coerce adversaries, but Iran and China can wield powerful economic weapons too. …”

“Now it's up to 300. Yeah, that doesn't surprise me. It's going to be a tough ticket. You get three good teams all close. Who would Purdue play if Miami or Missouri They could have to play Missouri If Missouri ends up in that final four with us Oh my God I didn even think about that If it Missouri Purdue Iowa State and Kentucky Now, that's a hard ticket. I didn't even think about Missouri. Wow. We need Miami to win because they won't have anybody. It would be kind of a home game for Missouri. …”

“Donald Trump is panicking as Vladimir Putin just put him on blast and made a public ultimatum trying to call Donald Trump and Trump's regime out. Putin said that, yes, he is giving intelligence to Iran, but he said that he would stop giving intelligence to Iran to help Iran target American soldiers, kill Americans and harm American interests. So long as the United States cuts off support to Ukraine, Politico reports. Now, it's being reported that the U.S. at a military level is rejecting this …”

“So tell us about that facility, how it's discovered, and who all is involved on the Israeli side at this time, and how do they respond to this discovery? So 2003, 10 years after Israel first learned that Iran might be seeking nuclear weapon, Erich Orr is the Israeli prime minister. Mayor Dagan, legendary figure in the history of Israeli intelligence, is the chief of Mossad. And Israel was investing growing amounts of intelligence effort and budgets and bandwidth to try and understand what is …”
