Valar Atomics CEO Isaiah Taylor - making nuclear reactors says he doesn't need a technical edge to win. "We want this reactor to be as simple as possible. If we could just staple this thing together from Ikea, then this would be a trillion-dollar company much faster." "There are... two philosophies that we use in building the reactors. We either try to buy things that are completely off the shelf or we make it ourselves." "We're trying to go 100x faster than the nuclear industry has ever gone before. So if we're plugging too deeply into the existing network, it's not going to work that well. We want to use off-the-shelf things and make things ourselves when we can't buy something off the shelf." "The nuclear industry is full of very smart people. It's full of physics people, PhDs, and people who have spent their life doing complex analysis, and they actually want something that is a little bit complicated. It's an ego thing to design something that is complicated and looks very sophisticated... It's our preference that [our reactors] are so simple that somebody with a nuclear PhD looks at it and says, 'That's like a toy,' and it's great because people make toys in the millions."show more

"We sell energy, not nuclear reactors." - Isaiah Taylor - making nuclear reactors, founder of Valar Atomics "The best way to use a Falcon 9 at SpaceX is to own the entire operational cadence. You sell products like kgs to orbit and Internet connectivity." "Nuclear reactors are like this as well. You build reactors on large energy campuses, then sell energy to AI data centers which need hydrogen and synthetic fuels." "If we can make a synthetic fuel that's cheaper than diesel or gasoline, we can become the energy company of the world."

.Isaiah Taylor - making nuclear reactors says Valar Atomics ultimately wants to use its own low-cost electricity to make steel, aluminum, and other products. "Our long-term vision is to actually have the cheapest energy on earth and to use it for our own things." "We see a vision of the world where steel is just way cheaper than it is today. Aluminum is way cheaper than it is today. The manipulation of matter is a lot cheaper because you have robotics hooked up to AI that's doing matter manipulation and vision. All these things take energy." "It'll be interesting to see where we decide to play in the stack. I think we want to be in the business of turning on thousands of reactors, but there will be a couple of massive markets that we attach to."

Rick Rubin on being addicted to the miracle of creation: “I like the moment of revelation. So we're working on something and it's just okay. It's boring. I'd rather not be there. That's how it feels. But then something happens and it's like magic. Something appears. It's not like we made it. Something comes up in the process. It's conjured in the process. It’s like a miracle and that's the thing that's addictive. That feeling when it's like it's not good, it's not good, it's not good, it's not good. We try something and it doesn't work. Try something else and it doesn't work. But then all of the sudden what we're listening to is really cool. That's the [addictive] feeling, that moment of discovery where it goes from nothing to something really good. And then the whole rest of the process after that is protecting that because it's super delicate. When it happens it's like this miracle happened and this magic thing happened and now we have to protect it through the rest of the process to not ruin it. It's scary because you don't want it to end. You don't want it to stop because we know if it stops, we can't control it. We can't do it again. It's not like that. It's this moment in time where something magical happens. So we spend a lot of time waiting and I can't say that's fun. Waiting is not fun.”

We asked Isaiah Taylor - making nuclear reactors about the nuclear announcements today. "There hasn't been a Ford or Tesla of nuclear energy yet. "Valor Atomics intends to be that company." "If we're going to win on AI, manufacturing, or supply chain, we're going to do it with a ton of cheap energy."

Sequoia's Ravi Gupta and Pat Grady on potential layoffs and why the AI doomers are wrong: "Technology is neither good nor bad, it's what we do with it. The same technology that powers a nuclear bomb can power a nuclear power plant." "A lot of what people are doing when they go and talk about the technology is they talk about all the things that might happen. I would rather us talk about the fact that it's going to get more and more powerful, and it's more and more incumbent on all of us to make sure we use it for something great." "If I could give my kids one thing, it wouldn't be kindness. It wouldn't be curiosity. It would be agency. The technology is going to be what all of us make of it."

AWFL climate doomers, hoping to shake their reputation as joyless scolds, are trying to bring "joy" to their doomsaying Spoiler alert: It's a huge cringe-fest. "If we don't center joy now, here in the process of bringing about this more vibrant, livable future, I think we actually pattern ourselves into something that isn't what we want." "The message of 'we have to fix the climate' doesn't resonate. It's more about: how do we love each other, how do we come to this place of well-being, how do we care about the well-being of ourselves, of our community, and our environment. And I think that that is joyful... There is love in this process." "If we want people to come off the sidelines and into the work, it's gotta feel good in some way. It can't be just about finger-wagging and telling people what they've done wrong if they want to be good and right and better. We have to have more openness. We have to throw a better party."

Building nuclear reactors that are easy to replicate is a SpaceX style problem: "What we're trying to do here is build a reactor which is easy to replicate. It's a little different from mass manufacturing. Different from a Tesla style problem, more like a SpaceX style problem. You have a complicated vehicle that you need to get really good at building and deploying in a repeatable fashion. When I first started the company, we didn't have a size in mind for the first reactor. It was very explicit. We told the team we don't know how big the reactor is going to be. We don't know how powerful it's going to be. We didn't know those numbers until a year to 18 months into the company. We told ourselves we are going to discover the power level through the manufacturing process. Our instinct was as long as that number turns out to be somewhere above 15 megawatts, we should be pretty good for mass production. If you're under 15 megawatts, it's pretty hard to scale the right way. You just end up doing so many different pieces of operations that it becomes more complicated. But our feeling is above the 15 megawatt break point, you have something that can really scale. And we think this reactor ends up somewhere around 25 megawatts. 25 megawatts being the sort of scale factor where if you want a gigawatt, you just build 40 of them. The next challenge for us as we turn this on and turn the next one on is how do we get to the place where we're turning on one reactor every day and then multiple reactors every day. That's how we're going to climb into the gigawatts."

The conversation is complicated. Things are not as simple as we hope or want them to be. We are all saddened, frightened and furious about everything. SO much is on the line; people’s lives, everywhere, are on the line. There are people that want to condemn reality, rather than working from within any opposition to change it. To make it safer. The system(s) we have in this world are far beyond flawed. And yet, through horrid strife, unimaginable violence and suffering, and terrible, terrible mistakes, America still, somehow, remains a country that people can hope to be free in. That is worth something. That is worth voting for.

Britain produces 1% of global carbon emissions. Reducing that to zero would destroy their economy. “the promise of net zero was, well, it doesn't matter that it's 1% because Britain is a global leader. We will inspire the world if we destroy our industry and hand it over to China, who's going to make the same things that we still need but dirtier. And then we ship them back here on ships that use the dirtiest fuel imaginable.” “If we do that, the Chinese will be inspired to commit industrial suicide as well. The Chinese, clearly not as stupid as our leaders, so they haven't committed industrial suicide.” “We have the highest industrial electricity prices in the developed world. That means we basically cannot make anything in this country anymore. And we will not be able to make anything in this country anymore until we let go of this ridiculous idea that we will inspire other people to jump off a cliff like Lemmings because we did.” “And James talks about we need a strong economy and we need net zero. Those two things are incompatible. You can't have both.” Credit Konstantin Kisin

Elon Musk: 𝕏 is simply trying to adhere to the law. If the people in a country want the laws to be different, they should make the laws different. "What we're trying to do is simply adhere to the laws in a country. If something is illegal in the United States, or if it's illegal in Europe or Brazil or wherever it might be, then we will take it down, and we'll suspend the account because we're not there to make the laws. But if speech is not illegal, then what are we doing? Now we're injecting ourselves in as a censor. And where does it stop? And who decides? Where does that path lead? I think it leads to a bad place. So, if the people in a country want the laws to be different, they should make the laws different. But otherwise, we're going to obey the law in each jurisdiction. That's it. It's not more complicated than that. We're not trying to flout the law. We're trying to adhere to the law. And if the laws change, we will change. And if the laws don't change, we won't.

Design used to have a ton of variation until the iPhone came out, says Figma CEO Dylan Field. After that, Skeuomorphism and Swiss minimalism became the standard everyone copied. Dylan says that now, AI is causing the pendulum to swing back: "We can go into such interesting places, and try so many interesting patterns in the UX side, too. It's not just UI and the visuals. It's also the structure, the IA, the way that people navigate through these things. And I think there's innovation that's going to be flourishing on all of it." "People are going to try things we haven't seen in a while, and things people haven't seen, ever. Because that's what it's going to take to stand out now."

[Q]: Would Ukraine be forced to give up land that Russian forces have not yet conquered? [Steve Witkoff]: Well, the president has said that the only one who can make that decision are the Ukrainians. That's President Zelensky's call. And and I think that that they have indicated that it's a more complicated decision than just giving up land. You have to they have to understand what the security guarantees are and they're entitled to understand those things. They have to make sure that this can never happen again. That's that is them being a fiduciary for their people. So we have to address all of those things. But we understand that we have technical teams working on it. And we're hopeful that by the end of this year, we actually and maybe quite a bit sooner, we actually can find the ingredients to get to that peace deal.

Finally, an honest introspective Mexican Americans saying they come to this country and by nature, want to make America like Mexico “We come to this country and then we try to make it like the country we left” “We Mexicans leave the country because it's corrupt and it's destructive and we don't have opportunity. And we come to this country because we want what this country has. But then we come to this country and then we try to make it like the country we left. Think about that for a second. We do. It doesn't make logical sense, but maybe by nature we're just programmed that way. I think it's cultural and we are programmed. So it's like, ah, we're going to go over there — We’re gonna take our morals, our values and everything and it's like a little subculture in the United States.” By importing people from other countries, we are destroying our own country and culture. They don’t assimilate, they wipe out our own culture.

We asked ElevenLabs CEO Mati Staniszewski what people should take away from the story of ElevenLabs. "One is culture." "We obsess about bringing people that are aligned with how we want to operate day to day, whether it's the ownership, whether it's the first principles, whether it's that striving for excellence, but keeping the ego low." "The second thing... you want people that are great in their craft and are passionate about their craft, passionate about that work." "If you bring people like this, there's actually very little management and very little work that any of the leaders need to do." "Bring the amazing people that are obsessed about doing the best work of their lives... and they'll do a much better job than you ever imagined." @matiii

Shutting down TikTok is not good for 6 million small businesses in America that make a living off it. We just need to take out the onerous piece, the spyware. That's what Congress was upset about. We’ve put together an offer that says we'll buy it without the algorithm because we can't use it. It is spyware. So we're gonna rebuild the product and make it much better actually. It's what we want to do to save the platform for Americans. I think it's the right thing to do and the company should want that also. This is the only path I see forward.

NRG Strong on the lessons they can take away from their loss to Paper Rex: "I would say the major lesson we probably had was the importance of setting up the players for success. I don't think we did as well as we could today. Maybe there's one or two things we could have done better. I think the major lesson, to be fair, is that our fundamentals are strong. We didn't play badly at all today. But because of how we are as a team, it can always come down to very tight margins. We're a team that doesn't generally blow teams out. We're a team that is so, so good at grinding out rounds and doing that sort of stuff. So I think the big lesson is: we're good, our fundamentals are good, we just have to be tight, and we just can't let anything for error slip in. There are lessons to be taken from this. This wasn't a bad loss. You get bad losses sometimes. It didn't feel like, 'Oh, we don't know what went wrong.' No, we know what went wrong. It's one or two small things, and it's things that we can adapt to, and it's things that will be better under different circumstances, and things that we can make the circumstances better for as well. So yeah, I think that would be the big lesson. We just have to be tight in these circumstances and there's no room for error on our end. That's a big, big, big thing."

jackson saying this was very timely, as youngjae had just talked about the same thing in his interview, how GOT7 once felt unsure of their musical identity 👑 if you look at our map of releasing songs, the first year, the second year, our first album, second album, we tried everything. so, looking back, we were like, ah, we could have done better, like, if we had a branding. if we have a specific thing that we're going at, we should be consistent and... it's like, at the end of the day, it's all products, right? and you want to be, it's like walking into walmart or target. is this a shampoo or is this a body wash or is it a soap or is it a bath salt? we didn't have that. we were just trying a lot of stuff. we're like multivitamins. 👤 do you feel like that limits the group? 👑 no, i just felt like people, when, we always talk about it among members, like, we, when people think of us, specifically for music, what is the genre? or are we like a rubik's cube that we're just everything? but when you're everything, there's good and a bad side where, oh, we see different dynamics and various genres that they could digest and do, but what are they? i think this is one of the things that, I mean, it's not a negative thing that, it's not something that we regret, but it's something that we always talk about. we didn't have, like, a certain color or a tone or a feeling.

YOKO ONO: ONOCHORD, VENICE, 2004 Yoko: The world is divided in two industries. One is the War Industry and the other is the Peace Industry. The people in the War Industry are totally together. They don't have to talk to each other, even. They know exactly what they want to do. They want to go out there, kill and make money. But the people in the Peace Industry, which are us - we are so idealistic that each one of us criticises the other Peace Person in the Peace Industry. And we are always just arguing and we are wasting our energies doing that. So let's just forgive each other and see that we are in the Peace Industry and that's all that counts. Even if you are not marching for peace, just be yourself, being a florist, being a merchant, being a talior, anything. That way you're contributing to the Peace Industry. People are just concentrating on fear, confusion and anger. And therefore just for a moment, I'd like us to think about Love. In a very magical, straight way, John and I met in London and from then on we stood for Peace and Love. And when I do this kind of event. Well it is... I was inspired to do it, but I still think that I'm still with John in spirit. John and I created the country called Nutopia. Not Utopia, because there was Utopia as a concept already. And we wanted to create a new concept, so we just added N on it - Nutopia - and as a country. Well, that is the concept of a country. And we all are citizens of that country. And in my apartment in the Dakota Building, we put a little plaque on the back door, the kitchen door. It says 'Nutopian Embassy' and even now we have that. (laughs). Nutopia exists in our minds. And because of that, some people want to rebel against it. The reason some want to rebel against it is a good proof that it exists. I think that it was a terrible thing that happened in Chechnya. But we have to still keep our hopes up. And instead of giving up, we have to keep on sending the message of Love to each other. You say that I am the Ambassador of Peace. We are all Ambassadors of Peace. You are too. Everybody in this room are Ambassadors of Peace. Just the fact that we are not participating in War. The fact that we are here, and we are what we are, means that we are in the Peace Industry. All of us. John and I used to say that our apartment in the Dakota is a conceptual monastry, just for the two of us. And when we go out of the Dakota, we get so many people communicating with us, so it's very important that we had silence and quietness. And my apartment is a very small space compared to the world. And I need that for my peace of mind. You should be kind to each other. You should come together, hug each other, love each other, express our love to each other and we should make it work. We should finally create a world that is a totally an Earth for Us. So let's do it.

ELON: WE WANT EARTH TO BE GREAT BUT WE ALSO NEED TO SAFEGUARD CONSCIOUSNESS “This is the first time in Earth's 4.5 billion year history that it's been possible to extend life or consciousness beyond Earth. And we've got to do that while civilization is still strong. That's the overarching goal of the company, is extending life sustainably to another planet and to do so ideally before World War III or some kind of bad thing. The key thing is that we need enough people and enough tonnage on Mars such that Mars can survive and continue consciousness even if something were to happen to Earth. Obviously, I'm not talking about abandoning Earth or anything like that. We want Earth to be as good as possible for as long as possible. But there are certain things that may be outside our control. So we want to just get Mars to be a self-sustaining civilization as quickly as possible.” Source: SpaceX Update, April 2024
