In 2013, another napkin calculation showed that three minutes of daily speech recognition per user would require doubling Google’s server fleet. That one became the TPU. At Startup School 2026, Google’s Chief Scientist talks with YC’s Diana through the thought experiments behind both, why inference hardware is the next specialization, and where two or three people in a room can still win. 00:07 — Are AI Models Already Junior Engineers? 01:44 — AI Systems That Improve Themselves 02:40 — The Google Search Breakthrough That Changed Everything 04:38 — AI Agents Will Run for Weeks 05:58 — The Napkin Math That Led to TPUs 09:20 — How to Find Breakthrough Ideas 10:25 — The AI Engineer's New Mental Model 12:33 — Why AI Is Really an Energy Problem 16:11 — Context Engineering Is the Next Frontier 19:46 — The Skill That Made AI Better at Optimization 22:13 — Why Long-Running Agents Fail 25:21 — Where Startups Can Still Beat Google 31:19 — How to Become an AI-Native Founder 36:36 — Question Your Biggest Assumptions 42:08 — AI That Builds Better AI 50:02 — Build Something That Truly Matters

It's brain versus AI time. Here's our full episode with Sebastian Seung. He's started a new company to reverse engineer the brain and master the intelligence created by nature with the hopes of informing the intelligence we've created with machines. Sebastian has done pioneering AI and neuroscience work and is now blending the two to make a digital brain. Mostly, he's fun to listen to. The Core Memory podcast is made by possible by the intelligent finance powerhouse Brex and the people who back the biggest ideas @e1ventures.

My interview with Helen Toner on firing Altman, AGI geopolitics in China & Middle East, and military use of AI. Toner co-founded and now leads the Center for Security and Emerging Technology at Georgetown in DC, maybe the leading think tank on natsec and AI. We discuss: • Is China actually racing to build AGI? [00:27:56] • Why you shouldn't say 'alignment' [01:45:11] • Is Congress starting to take superintelligence seriously? [01:47:42] • Are data centres in the UAE “good for democracy”? [00:52:41] • Sure China could steal AI model weights, but does it matter [00:39:13] • Is it good if the world uses US not Chinese AI models? [00:21:58] • Why non-proliferation is a misguided model for AI [01:30:20] • Helen thinks AI progress isn't slowing down [01:50:10] • Will AI inevitably concentrate power? [01:07:49] • Helen’s defence of how the board handled firing Altman [00:01:32] • Will the military be willing to defer to AI in decision-making? [01:38:23] Available any place you get podcasts on the '80,000 Hours Podcast'. Links below — enjoy!
