UK AI Minister Kanishka Narayan MP in response to the call for a ban on Super-Intelligence in the UK after an open-letter was circulated by 40 MP's to stop AI: "We don't have super-intelligence in this country. We actually, as you say, don't have a position to be able to do so anytime soon. The most effective thing we can do is build the capability to test and understand risks that others are perpetrating as a result of them building it." "Harden defenses. Huge uplift needed in our cyber capabilities to defend ourselves...convene the world, as we will do in the run-up to the G20, to be able to shape others' destinies through our values, and ultimately build in Britain over the long term." "When I think about the political conversation I sort of feel like people want to just pull whatever lever they can see rather than the lever that actually ends up making a difference in the real world." "This isn't about being pro-regulation or anti-regulation. For me, it's not a question of what's the tactical mechanism. It's a question of what's going to drive change in the world."

Sequoia (Sequoia Capital) Partner Julien Bek tells us why the next $1Trillion company will be a software company masquerading as a services firm: "Ultimately, if you look at the TAM today, for every dollar that you spend on software, $6 are spent on services". "If you sell the tools, the models are getting better and better and so you're at risk... whereas, if you sell the services, you're actually delivering outcomes." "Until now, we could really just go after the $1, but now with services first and human at the centre, we think you can capture the six".

.Nicolas Sharp, CEO of Attio, on how the founder role changes: 0-20 people: "You do everything. While you wait for code to run, you log into Xero and do accounting. While walking to coffee, you answer Intercom tickets. It's this crazy cycle." 20-50 people: "You should have a team much better than you at everything. The role shifts to building the team, setting vision, keeping the company solvent. Hire great people, don't run out of money." 50+ people: "At 50 people, I could tell you what anyone was doing that day. That doesn't work past 50. You have to build systems for context and information dissemination. Be very thoughtful about culture." Founder at 10 people vs 50 people vs 100 people: Completely different jobs.

We asked General Intuition Co-Founder Pim de Witte wether he believes we are actually living in a simulation: "If it were to be true that we lived in a simulation, it still wouldn't answer the fundamental question of why, right?" "Think about how much compute it would require to just do this room and our behaviour, right? Our brains, which are running 7 billion times concurrently in this world right now, would be running in the same sort of system." "Think about how much energy somebody would have to be spending in order to simulate us, right? It is absurd." "The reality is that the complexity of the world we live in is so much bigger than anything any simulation today could do credit for, that I just I do not think we're at the point where we can start drawing any conclusions".

Avi Patel (Avi Patel) CEO of Kled (Kled AI) explains the situation with Luel, says he welcomes competition but larping in Silicon Valley has gotten out of hand: "You go fund this company run by an 18-year-old that dropped out of Berkeley... that one-to-one ripped off my entire company and then on top of that also is faking their compliance." "On their user page, which shows the live user count, it was a manual number counter that was going up. It wasn't even like something that was pulled from an actual place." "50% of their web traffic was from Nigeria... they are manually going out there and bolstering their numbers with Nigeria and actively accepting these fraudulent uploads so that they can look good in front of investors." "As an investor of Silicon Valley that is supposed to be prestigious and honourable... there is no world in a million years where you should give that company $31 million."

"UK AI companies in the last quarter raised six billion pounds...3x what we did last year, more than the whole of... continental Europe combined". James Wise, Chairman of the £500M Sovereign AI Fund I on the UK's AI future: "We're working with some of the leading UK based and international venture funds and those relationships will be incredibly valuable for crowding in more money over time". "Should you need the hundred million pound round, the billion pound round or even the ten billion pound round... all the other public finance bodies we've got are looking at you from day one". "The UK needs a huge amount of capital to compete in AI. Luckily, we're going in the right direction... there is probably nowhere outside the US and China you can raise billion pound seed rounds like we're seeing here outside of the UK". From James's appearance in April.
