我有一个非常好笑的故事要告诉你,Jason。
I have a very funny story to tell you, Jason.
你去哪了?我一直试着发短信给你。你一直不在线。发生什么事了?你去哪了?
Where have you been? I've been trying to text you. You've been offline. What's going on? Where have you been?
我一直在拼命工作,但昨天我不得不去准备一些周日的会议,这些会议我不能告诉你。不过我和Nat去了帕萨拉克(Pasa Laqua),它位于科莫湖(Lake Como),这地方太棒了。那里的环境非常漂亮,酒店也很惊艳。如果你有机会去科莫湖的话,无论如何都推荐你们去帕萨拉克(Pasalacua)。
I've been working feverishly, but yesterday, I had to go to prepare for some meetings that I have on Sunday, which I can't tell you about. But Nat and I went to Pasa Laqua, which is in Lake Como, which is an I mean, it's stunning. The grounds are stunning. The hotel is stunning. If you have a chance to go to Lake Como anyways, this is us at Pasalacua.
那边那个漂亮的女士是谁?是这家店的老板还是什么人?那是
Who's the beautiful woman there? Is that the woman who owns it or something? Is that
女王吗?不是。最精彩的部分是我们玩得特别开心。你知道他们有一个留言簿可以写留言吗?对吧。
the queen? That's not. But the best part is we had such a good time. You know how they have, like, a registry book to leave a message? Sure.
所以我留了一条信息。
So I I left a message.
来了,这里真是一个超越所有期待的绝妙之地。
Here we go. A truly magnificent place above and beyond any expectation we have.
往下看,帮我看看下面的内容。
Go below go below that stuff for me.
谢谢你们,我们把一切都安排妥当了。一切都很顺利,Berg。
Thanks for We took everything to free. Took everything to free, Berg.
太好了,真棒。Jason,那些衣架。好,行李袋。
Great. Awesome. Jason, the hangers. Okay. The bags.
洗衣袋。
The laundry bags.
你有没有拿到
Did you get to
长袍,
base the robes,
拖鞋绳?所有东西。太棒了。好了,听我说。
the slipper ropes? Everything. Fantastic. Alright. Listen.
你要
You're gonna
发送
have to send
账单给自由鸟们。这简直令人难以置信。听好了。我们本周有一个非常精彩的小组讨论。现在正值夏季。
a bill to the free birds. It's absolutely amazing. Listen. We've got a great panel this week. It's the summer.
事情进展缓慢。有些人很忙。我想我们的恐慌症王子、亲爱的科学苏丹他正在响铃处待命。萨克斯很忙,这周无法参加。代替他的是另一位出色的贝宝校友,而且我得说一句,还是共和党支持者的海斯·鲁鲍格。
Things are slow. Some people are busy. I think our prince of panic attacks, our dear sultan of science is he's at the beep. Saxe is busy. Couldn't make it this week In his place, another brilliant PayPal alumni and, dare I say, GOP supporter, Heath Roubaughey.
先生,你好吗?
How are you, sir?
再次与您相聚感到非常荣幸。
Pleasure to be with you again.
很高兴见到你。我猜你现在应该是在美丽的佛罗里达,或者意大利某个地方吧?对吧?
Nice to see you. And I'm assuming you're in gorgeous Florida or somewhere in Italy. Yeah?
其实我现在在纽约。
I'm actually in New York.
哦,我的家乡。那里安全吗?情况还好吗?我妈没追着你在街上跑吧?没有
Oh, my hometown. Is it safe? Is it okay? Mom don me chasing you down the street? Not
暂时没有,不过挺安全的。
yet, but it's safe.
你有没有没收你的
Did you seize your
很安全。你的资产呢?
It's safe. Your assets?
没有?安全。是的。现在很安全。我们11月4号见。
No? Safe. Yeah. It's safe right now. We'll see you on November 4.
你知道,正如你可能听说的,7月4日是有记录以来第一次纽约当天没有发生枪击或谋杀事件。所以目前来说情况相当不错,但我们也许会很快离开纽约。
You know, as you probably heard, on July 4 was the first time in recorded history that there were no shootings or no murders in New York on that day. So right now, things are in pretty good shape, but we maybe we maybe leaving New York quickly.
是的。如果你在那里有房产的话,最好考虑卖掉,因为曼达米会把它没收,然后给你改成药店。没错,到时候就是曼达米药店了。特拉维斯·卡兰尼克又回到我们身边了。
Yeah. You're gonna probably wanna sell that place if you got one there because Mamdami is gonna seize it and turn it into a drugstore for you. Yes. It's gonna be the Mamdami drugstore. Travis Kalanick is back with us.
最近怎么样,亲爱的?
How are doing, bestie?
挺好的,挺好的。
Pretty good. Pretty good.
是的。这是你第二次参加这个圆桌讨论。是的,也是第三次上这个节目。当然了,你还在峰会上发过言。
Yeah. Second appearance here on the roundtable. Yeah. And third time on the show. Of course, you spoke at the Summit.
你一直在忙Cloud Kitchens的事情吧?是的吧?有很多令人兴奋的事情在进行中。
You've been busy with Cloud Kitchens. Yeah? Lots of exciting things going on.
哦,有很多事情。很多很多事情。机器人正在接管一切。我们正在推出机器人,正在部署机器人。
Oh, lots of stuff. Lots of stuff. The robots the robots are taking over. We're we're rolling out we're rolling out robots.
是的。TK,你能告诉我们你现在是否和 Pony AI 有合作吗?或者这只是猜测?
Yeah. TK, can you tell us what you're doing with this pony AI or not? That's speculation.
看,你知道的,很明显,正如我们在美国所了解的那样,当然是这样。等等,当然要等等。
Look. You know, obviously, it's autonomy as we you know, in The US, we have, of course Wait.
有没有人可以给那些可能不太了解情况的人介绍一下已经宣布的内容,或者至少说明一下为什么
Do wanna just frame for people that don't that may not be up to speed what was announced or at least Why
你自己来说说吧?
don't you frame it?
你为什么不
Why don't you
Pony AI 是一家自动驾驶公司,专注于无人驾驶技术。它是为数不多的几家真正将汽车开上路的公司之一。他们总部位于中国,在中东地区也有很多业务。此外,他们还与一家名为Uber的配送公司达成了合作,这家公司你可能听说过。
frame AI is an autonomous company doing self driving. It's one of the few players that actually have cars on the road. They're based in China. They've got a lot of operations in The Middle East. They've got a deal with a delivery company called Uber, which you might be familiar with.
好的,那么
Okay. So
看,这个交易基本上是你要和Uber合作,授权Pony的技术,并且实质上创办一家竞争对手,我想,针对Waymo和特斯拉?
look. Well, deal was basically that you would partner with Uber, license in the Pony technology and essentially start a competitor, I guess, to Waymo and Tesla?
让我来谈一下这个问题。好的,那么在美国,我们有Waymo。我们在旧金山、洛杉矶、奥斯汀看到Waymo,很快会进入迈阿密、亚特兰大和华盛顿特区,他们甚至在谈论纽约。
Let me work on this one. Okay. So so in The US, we have Waymo. We see the Waymos in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Austin, coming soon to Miami, coming soon to Atlanta, coming soon to DC. They're They're even talking about New York.
特斯拉有点像你知道的那样,他们用一种艰难的方式来做这件事,典型的埃隆风格。比如,让我们以一种根本性的方式去做,彻底一点。但目前还不清楚什么时候能越过临界点。当然,他最近在奥斯汀启动了一个半试验性质的项目,但除此之外没有其他替代方案。因此,一些希望确保存在替代选择的人就主动联系了我们。
Tesla's sort of like the, you know, they're doing it the hard way, you know, classic Elon style. Like, let's let's do this sort of in a fundamental holy shit, let's go all the way kinda approach. And it's unclear when it gets over the line. Of course, he launched sort of a a semi semi pilot of sorts in Austin recently, but there's no other alternatives. So what happens is is some of the folks who are interested in making sure there are alternatives have reached out.
他们联系了我,并开始了一些不同的讨论,因为他们觉得,Travis,你以前很早就涉足自动驾驶领域,在2014年初的时候推动了Uber的自动驾驶项目。也许这里可以做些事情来创造一些选择权。比如,我对食品方面当然非常感兴趣。我经常谈到自动化卷饼是个大事,因为如果你能实现厨房的自动化,食物生产的自动化,然后还能实现食品物流的自动化,就能大幅降低食品成本,这当然是我非常关心的事情。当然,也有些人希望看到移动领域的自动驾驶。
They they've reached out to me and there are different discussions they get going because they're like, Travis, you did autonomy way back in the day, got the Uber autonomous stuff going in 02/2014. Maybe there's something to do here to create optionality. Maybe, like, I'm, of course, very interested on the food side. I talk about autonomous burritos being a big deal because if you can automate the kitchen, the production of food, and then you can automate the sort of, logistics around food, you take huge amount of costs out of the food, out of what's going on in food, and that's of course near and dear to my heart. There's folks, of course, that want to see autonomy and mobility.
这是个现实的问题。也许或者可以说,如果你解决了自动驾驶问题,你可以将其应用到这两个领域。所以有很多人对运输东西感兴趣,运输食品,运输人员。如果有一些自动驾驶技术可能我会参与其中,它可能适用于许多不同的领域。所以我收到了一些主动的提议。
That's a real thing. It may be that or I would say if you get the autonomy problem right, you can use it to apply to both problems. So there's a lot of folks interested in moving things, moving food, moving people. And if there is some kind of autonomous technology that maybe I get involved in, it might apply to a bunch of different things. And so I've got some inbound.
就这样说吧,目前还没有真正的交易达成,但确实有一些主动的提议。我认为有关这些提议的一些消息可能会或不会发生。这样说可能是最合适的。刚才我说得比较啰嗦,下次我会尽量简洁一些。
Let's just put it that way. There's no there's no real deal right now, but there is definitely some inbound. And I think there is some news about some of that inbound that may or may not be occurring. That's probably the best way to put it. As long winded, I'll try to tighten that up next time.
不,不,我觉得首先在这里给大家一个整体的介绍非常好。感谢你与我们分享。大家都知道你一直在做一个碗构建器(bowl builder)。
No. No. I think it's great to get the overview here first on all in. Thank you for sharing it with us. And everybody knows you have been doing a bowl builder.
是的,Lab 37,我想是这个名字。你可以把它显示在屏幕上。不确定它的现状如何,之后我会让你继续提问,Chamath。但我认为这里有一个相当有趣的概念,就是把碗建造器放进一辆自动驾驶汽车里。
Yeah. Lab 37, I think it's called. You can throw it up on the screen. Not sure what the status of it is, and then I'll let you go, Chamath, with your follow-up question. But I I think there's a pretty interesting concept here of the bull getting built and then put into a self driving car.
那台机器看起来很大,但实际上只有60平方英尺。那张照片让它看起来像个怪物。它其实是一台60平方英尺的机器。想象一下经营一个类似Sweetgreen品牌或Chipotle品牌的餐厅,让它为那些看到后会问‘这是什么东西?’的人们带来生机。
Now that machine looks huge, but it's actually 60 square feet. That picture makes it look monstrous. It's a 60 square foot machine. Like, imagine running, like, a Sweetgreen like brand or a Chipotle like brand and just making it so it comes to life for people who who, you know, are like, hey. What is this thing?
想象一下,你只需在线下单,就能准确地得到你想要的碗装食物。实际上,这台机器可以同时运行多个品牌,并且已经在这样做了。你可以定制自己想要的碗,选择任何配料。如果你看底部,看到那些小的白色砖块吗?那是用来在分配器下方运送碗的装置。它会填满配料,然后给碗加上酱料,再盖上盖子。
Imagine you just order online exactly the kind of bowl you want, and actually, this machine could run like many brands at the same time and and does. You build the bowl you want, whatever ingredients, it sort of if you look at that bottom, you see those little white bricks at the bottom? That's what carries the bowl underneath dispensers. It fills up. The machine puts it sauces the the bowl, then it puts a lid on it.
接着,机器将碗放入一个袋子中,在袋子里放上餐具,密封袋子。袋子通过传送带传送到另一台机器,我们称之为AGV(自动导引车),它将碗送至前厅。碗被放入储物柜中,DoorDash或Uber Eats的快递员会在摄像头前晃动他们的应用程序,对应的储物柜就会打开,里面就是他们应该取走的食物。这样一来,就省去了很多我们所谓的组装成本。
It takes the bowl, puts it in a bag, puts utensils in the bag, seals the bag, and the bag goes down a conveyor belt where then another machine, what we would call an AGV, takes the bowl to the front of house, the bowl gets put into a locker, the courier via DoorDash, Uber Eats courier, will wave their app in front of a camera and it will open up the locker that has the food that they're supposed to pick up. So it just it takes out a lot of what we would call the the cost of assembly, which is
而且减少了错误。对吧?
more And reduces mistakes. Right?
很难
It's hard for
我们会犯错。是的。
us to make a mistake. Yeah.
我们知道每种配料的确切克数吗?你能得到的就是你本应得到的分量。因此,你能获得更高品质的产品,同时大大降低了成本。你可以想象,最终也会有相应的快递员参与其中,比如说实现自主配送的卷饼。
Do we know exactly how many grams of every ingredient are put in? That's exactly what you're supposed to get. And so you get a higher quality product. It takes a lot of the cost out. You imagine ultimately that's going to be there are gonna be couriers with that as well that, you know, like to say autonomous burritos.
比如,Waymo会不会运送一个卷饼?特斯拉会不会有一台运送食物的机器?或者是否还有其他公司最终从事这种物品的自动化配送?重点在于,我们现在所处的位置是有客户的。这些客户将在本季度开始部署这套系统,这非常有趣。在我们的配送厨房里,人工成本约占收入的30%。对于成功的餐厅来说,可能占到30%、35%。而在传统实体餐厅中,这个比例甚至更高。
Like, is a Waymo gonna carry a burrito or is Tesla gonna have a a machine that carries food or, you know, is there another another company that ends up doing, you know, sort of the the the things, the the the the autonomous delivery of things. And the point is is, well, where we are right now is we've got customers. And so those customers are starting to deploy this quarter, and it's pretty interesting. I mean, you can in our delivery kitchens, the cost of labor is about 30% of revenue. That's what the successful guy let's say 30%, 35% of revenue in a in a brick and mortar in a brick and mortar restaurants, it's even higher.
当他们使用我们的机器时,人工成本只占收入的7%到10%之间。
K? When they're running our machine, it's between 710% of revenue.
太棒了。当你再去掉配送的成本,现在每个人都能拥有自己的私人厨师了,这也是你最初为Uber设想的愿景。没错。人们可能不知道Uber最初的标语,但那正是你的想法:每个人都有一个私人司机。
Amazing. Then you take out the cost of the delivery, you know, and now it's becoming everybody can have a private chef, which was your original vision for Uber. It was Yeah. People don't know the original tagline, but it was your your everybody has a private driver.
“每个人都有私人司机”是Uber最初的口号。基本上,基础设施已经存在了。我在你们最近的一次活动中提到过,我想是在All In峰会上,Jason。就像在汽车出行领域,道路早已存在,车辆也已经制造出来,而人们每天98%的时间并没有使用他们的汽车。
Everyone's private driver was the original for Uber. Basically, the infrastructure was already there, and I said this on, you know, one of your recent I I think it was at the All In Summit, Jason. But, like, in the mobility cars, you know, transport space, the roads were already there. The cars were already built. People weren't using their cars 98% of the day.
因此,现有的基础设施已经可以让人便捷高效地提供这种服务。但食物方面却没有这样的基础设施。比如,是的,餐馆有闲置产能,Uber Eats 就是这样利用的。但如果要说让一个城市中所有餐食的30%都由某种服务来准备和配送的话。
So the infrastructure is already there to get people around to do this as a service and do it very efficiently and conveniently. With food, the infrastructure is not there. Like, yes, restaurants have excess capacity. That's what Uber Eats utilizes. But to go and say, like, let's make 30% of all meals in a in a city sort of prepared and delivered by a service.
目前并没有这样的基础设施,所以你必须去建设它。我们公司的使命就是打造更好的食品基础设施。这包括房地产、软件以及机器人技术,以一种超级高效的方式进行食品生产和配送。
The infrastructure is not there, so you have to build it. So our company the the mission is infrastructure for better food. So that's real estate, that's software, and robotics for the production and delivery of food in a super efficient way.
好的,基思,你怎么看?有什么问题要问吗
Alright. Keith, what are your thoughts? Any questions for
嗯,他现在不在这里,但这难道不是大卫·弗里德伯格几年前尝试做过的事情吗?
Well, he's not here, but isn't this what David Friedberg tried to do a few years ago?
是的,上一次全员会议的时候提到了这个。是的,我参加的上次会议上就讨论过。没错。
Yeah. This came up on the last all in. Yeah. The last one I was at. Yeah.
是啊,伊扎。伊扎。当时的问题是我告诉弗里德伯格,人们不想吃藜麦,你得加点牛排进去,也许再来一块三文鱼。
Yeah. Itza. Itza. The problem was I told Friedberg, people don't wanna eat quinoa. You gotta put a a little steak in there, maybe a piece of salmon.
但他一开始坚持,最后才勉强同意让人们加一点蛋白质。不过,是的,这是一个非常棒的愿景。
But he was kinda think eventually he relented and let people have a little bit of protein. But, yeah, so it's such a great vision.
等等,他是作为素食殉道者去世的吗?
Wait. He he died as a vegan martyr?
我想
I think
这家企业是以殉道的方式倒闭的。
the business died as a martyr.
嗯,呵呵
Well, he he
被带去死。有种说法是
was led to die. There's a
有很多人死在了那座山上,但归根结底,如果你要进入自动化领域,你必须实现端到端的自动化。我的意思是,比如有一些披萨公司曾经出现过又倒闭了,这些自动化的披萨公司会说我们有一台披萨机器,大家都会觉得哇,这太棒了。你花一百万美元买了一台披萨机,左边有个人在给机器添加原料。
lot of people that have died on that hill, but the bottom line is if you're gonna get into automation, you have to it has to be end to end automation. What I mean by that is, like, there are pizza there are pizza companies that have come and gone, automated pizza companies, where it's like, we have a pizza machine, and everybody's like, yeah. This is amazing. And you have a guy, you have a million dollar pizza machine. And then on the left, you have a guy feeding ingredients into the pizza machine.
右边还有一个人把做好的披萨拿出来装盒。所以与其让一个人来做披萨,你现在换成了一百万美元的机器加上两个人来制作披萨。当你看到这些食品生产的机器人或食品组装设备时,你需要从整体来看,并问自己:它是否适合餐厅现有的生态系统?它能否实现从头到尾的全链条自动化?比如,我们有个东西就像之前看到的那个机器,员工先准备好食材放进机器里,然后他们
And on the right, you have a guy taking the pizza out and then putting it in a box and doing all this. So instead of one guy making pizzas, I have a million dollar machine and two guys making pizza. And so when you look at these, like, robotic food production machines or food assembly machines, you have to look at the full stack and say, does it work with the ecosystem that exists in a restaurant? And does it go full stack from, you know, like like, we have this thing where that machine we saw earlier. The staff preps the food, they put the food in the machine, and then they
离开了,对吧。
leave. Right.
他们就走了。这家餐厅可以在无人看管的情况下运行好几个小时。
They're gone. This restaurant runs itself for many hours without anybody there.
但这可能是麦当劳、汉堡王或者塔可钟,没人能分辨出来。
But this could be McDonald's, Burger King, and Taco Bell. Nobody would know.
就在那里,那台机器是一台装配机,对吧?食物是由人工准备的,然后由这台机器进行组装。对于Chipotle(连锁餐饮品牌)或Sweetgreen(沙拉连锁店)来说,这就是他们的主要劳动力成本,对吧?
That right there, that machine is a it's an assembly machine. Right? The food is prepped by humans and then assembled by this machine. For a Chipotle or a Sweetgreen, this is like a a majority of their labor. Right?
你去Chipotle吃午饭的时候,那里可能有10个员工,而你还是要排队。而这台机器每小时可以完成300碗餐食。所以你可以想想,这就是所谓的装配线。
You go up to a Chipotle, there's like 10 guys at lunch and you're still in line. That machine right there does 300 bowls an hour. Right? And so you go, okay. That's the this is what's called, like, the assembly line.
其实就是前面那条生产线,你基本上是在上面组装各种东西。有时候他们可能会称之为制作线。随着时间推移,你会发现会有垂直的生产线向它供应食物。对吧?你会看到一条生产或制作线连接到这条装配线上,然后你会感叹,哇哦。
It's just that front line where you basically assemble things. I I think sometimes they'll call it the make line. What will happen over time is you'll have perpendicular lines going into it where you're producing food. Right? So you'll have a production or make line going into an assembly line here and then you go, oh, wow.
所以你有一个能分发汉堡夹面包的装置。这就是分配器,也就是组装部分。
So you have it something that dispenses burgers on buns. That's the dispenser. That's the assembly.
对。但这基本上就像是强化版的《异星工厂》(Factorio)。
Right. But It's like factorio on steroids, basically.
是的。然后问题是,你怎么烹饪这个汉堡?我称之为状态变化。所谓状态变化就是食物的烹饪过程。而组装则是如何把它组合起来并装盘。
Yeah. And then it's like, how do you cook that burger? That's what I call that's what we call state change. So state change is the is the cooking of the food. Assembly is the, like, how do I put it together and plate it.
这不会崩溃吗?比如,如果你每小时产量是300个,你说过是的,来自那一台机器。
Doesn't this collapse? Like, for example, if you have a yield of 300 per hour, you said Yes. Out of that one machine
是的。
Yes.
很快你就能计算出拥有一家占地面积更小、仓库里有五个这种设备的价值。是的,通过无人机配送或汽车配送,你不需要实体基础设施。那么你不就制造了一片房地产的荒地吗?你如何重新利用所有这些房地产?
Very quickly, you can impute the value of having a smaller footprint store with five of these things in a faceless warehouse Yeah. With drone delivery or cars. You don't need the physical infrastructure. So then don't you create a wasteland of real estate, or how do you repurpose all the real estate?
思考这个问题的方式是,目前在美国,大概90%的餐食是在家里吃的。现在可能略低于这个数字,我们假设是85%。
Well, the way to think about it is like 90%, well, it's probably a little lower than that right now. Let's say 85 of all meals in The US are at home. They just are.
嗯。
Mhmm.
其中绝大多数餐食都是在家做的。像Uber Eats和DoorDash这样的平台,目前只占所有餐食的1.8%或2%,比例非常小。因此,你正在使用房地产和基础设施来准备并配送餐食到人们家中。
And a vast majority of those meals are cooked at home. So, you know, like Uber Eats and DoorDash, they represent, like, 1.8% or 2% of all meals right now. It's very tiny. Right? So what you're doing is you're using real estate to and infrastructure to prepare and deliver meals to people at their homes.
因此,并不是说餐馆都不存在了。我们仍然想去餐馆吃饭。我们仍然想外出活动。在新冠疫情期间我们意识到了这一点,之前我们也知道这一点。
And so it's not restaurants still exist. We're still gonna wanna go to restaurants. We're still gonna wanna go outside. We learned that during COVID. We knew it before.
我们肯定是在之后才知道的。所以我不认为这真的像房地产那样具有破坏性。这是将一件我们过去自己做的事情变成一个能更高质量完成的服务。我喜欢这么说,你不必有钱才能健康,只需要基础设施来降低成本。因此,你正在以服务的形式做一件我们以前自己做的事情。从长远来看,你会想,杂货店的故事在哪里?
We definitely know it after. And so I don't it's not really like a decimating real estate situation. It's taking a thing we used to do for ourselves and creating a service that does it higher quality. You know, sort of I like to say you don't have to be wealthy to be healthy and just infrastructure to get that cost down. And so you're doing something as a service that we I used to do at think in the super long run, you're like, what where's the story on grocery stores?
如果你设想一下,二十年后,我想大家都会同意,将有机器为每个人制作非常高质量、高度个性化的餐食。
If you go to like, in in twenty years, I think everybody agrees you you will have machines making very high quality, very personalized meals for everybody.
这对基思来说会很好,因为他根据Instagram上的信息,连摄入热量都要精确到五卡路里。
This would be good for Keith because he measures stuff down to, like, five calories based on his Instagram.
基思,你的体脂率是多少?7%、8%?
Keith, what's your what's your what's your body fat? Like, 7%, 8%?
大概是10%。
It's, like, 10.
直接打开他的Instagram就能看到,他发过四次。哦天哪。
Just open his Instagram. Can see he posted four. Oh my god.
我今天已经提了好几次了
There's my times today about
他的体脂率。
his body fat.
他对自己的10%感到非常恶心。
So disgusted with himself at 10%.
是按满分10分算的。但我实际上认为这个愿景自然延伸下去,也许最理想的情况是,每个家庭都拥有一个私人厨师,一个家里的机器人,专门负责这种个性化服务。因为人们确实想在家做饭,但就是没有时间。
It's, like, out of 10. But I actually think the vision of this actually, the natural implication and maybe the home run version of this is everybody has a private chef in their house. A robot in their house that actually does this personalized because people do want to cook at home, but they don't have the time.
是的。当然,空间和基础设施方面,但是伙计,这些配送服务一直在向有钱人收费,让他们这么做。对吧?他们提供这些疯狂的送餐服务,每天要花200美元,而这只是将这种服务抽象化并普及到每个人而已。而且,伙计,正如你提到的Shammaf,当有这种空白空间时,人们会变得很有创意,这些空间到底会发生什么。
Yeah. Of course, space and infrastructure, but, man, these delivery services are charging rich people do this all the time. Right? They do these crazy meal delivery services for $200 a day, and this is just gonna abstract it down to everybody. And, man, people get creative when there's that empty space to your point, Shammaf, about what happens to all this space.
我在八九十年代住在纽约的时候,在我住的翠贝卡和西切尔西地区,很常见的是租个店面,前面放一个小建筑师事务所,后面住人。很多人当时都在灵活利用房地产资源。我们国家仍然需要五百万到一千万套住房,而商场已经被这样改造了。我一直看到商场被改造成大学和创意空间。波士顿有一个商场,他们把第二层和第三层改成了艺术家的工作室公寓。
When I lived in New York in the eighties and nineties, it was common to in Tribeca, in West Chelsea where I lived, to take storefronts, put your little architect's office in the front, and live in the back. And many people were hacking real estate. We still need five, ten million homes in this country, and they're already doing this with malls. I I I keep seeing malls being turned into colleges and creative spaces. One of them in Boston, they turned, like, the Second And Third Floor into studio apartments for artists.
所以你知道,有志者事竟成。我们可以利用这些空间,Simon。
So, you know, where there's a will, there's way. We could use the space, Simon.
是的。Chamath说的这个趋势,以及房地产的发展方向,我们称之为互联网美食广场,比如说你在亚马逊上,它就是一家无所不包的商店。现在想象一下食物领域的亚马逊。
Yeah. Where this goes with Chamath saying and where the real estate goes is we call it the Internet food court where, you know, you're on Amazon. Right? It's the everything store. Now imagine that for food.
然后想象一下你有一个8000平方英尺的场地,基本上任何食物都可以在那里制作出来。
And then imagine you have an 8,000 square foot facility where basically anything can be made.
任何食物都能做出来。
Anything can be made.
因为如果你看到的那个机器有18种食材分配器、10种不同的酱料,你可以理解。那如果变成50个或100个食材分配器呢?如果你有多个配备100个食材分配器的机器呢?
Because if you have that machine you saw has 18 sort of dispensers for food, 10 different sauces, you get the idea. Now what what about when it's 50 or a 100 dispensers for food? What if you have multiple machines with a 100 dispensers for food?
那太疯狂了。
That's crazy.
从组合数学的角度来看,可能实现的食物种类数量呈指数级增长。因此,互联网美食广场就是我们对未来发展的愿景。
You can the combinatorial math in terms of what's possible, what could be made sort of, you know, goes exponential. And so the Internet food court is sort of the vision for where this all goes.
这是‘苦涩教训’的另一个例子。
Another example of the bitter lesson.
很苦,对吧。嗯,我们今天有很多事情要处理。在开始之前,先简单交代一下:今年九月于洛杉矶,再次举办All In峰会,allin.com上有更多详细信息。这次嘉宾阵容非常强大,我们即将开始公布演讲者名单。
The bitter yeah. Well, when we get to that, I guess, today in a very full docket. Before we get to that, just a little bit of housekeeping here. September in Los Angeles, the All In Summit again, allin.com slash yada yada yada. Lineup is stacked, and we're gonna start announcing the speakers.
人们一直恳求我们公布演讲者名单。我不清楚,或许
People have been begging us to announce the speakers. I don't know. Maybe
你得保留一些悬念。小心点,谨慎点。
you You gotta hold some back. Careful, careful.
已经确认了几位嘉宾,但我们确实邀请到了非常棒的演讲者。这次活动将会非同凡响。
Called a couple back, but we got some really nice speakers lined up. It is gonna be extraordinary.
这是目前为止最好的一次。我的意思是,做得不错。这一年我们就该这么做。嗯
Is the best one yet. I mean Well done. Year. We would do this. Well
干得漂亮。没错,没错。每年我们都会有一点小恐慌,就像你知道的那样,我们会请到很棒的演讲嘉宾。
done. Yeah. Yeah. Every year, we have this little bit of panic. Like, you know, we're gonna get great speakers.
而且,老天,这周嘉宾们陆续确认了。这次真的会非常精彩。几乎和我身后这瓶美味的龙舌兰酒一样精彩。来我们的网站tequila.allin.com下单吧,夏末开始配送。
And, man, they started flowing in this week. It's gonna be extraordinary. Almost as extraordinary as this delicious tequila behind my head here. Get the all in tequila tequila.allin.com. Deliveries begin late summer.
接下来
Moving
移到一边。你甚至都看不出那是龙舌兰酒。没错。是的。
to the side. You can't even tell it's tequila. That's right. Yeah.
好啦,听我说。
Alright. Listen.
哦,哇。
Oh, wow.
本周有很多话题要讨论。显然,人工智能继续成为我们行业的重大新闻,而且有充分的理由。我们的老朋友埃隆在周三晚上发布了Grok四。有两个版本,基础模型和重型模型,基础版每月30美元。重型模型每月300美元,它有一个非常独特的功能。
Lots to discuss this week. Obviously, AI is continuing to be the big story in our industry and for good reason. Our bestie, Elon, released Grok four Wednesday night. Two versions, base model and a heavy model, $30 a month for the base. $300 a month for this heavy model, which has a very unique feature.
你可以使用多代理功能。我实际上在几周前参观XAI时看到了这一点,多个代理共同处理同一个问题,并且它们可以同时进行,然后互相比较彼此的工作成果。这有点像学习小组,通过共识得出最佳答案。非常有趣。根据人工智能分析基准,Nick,你可以把这个调出来看一下。
You can have a multi agent feature. I got to see this actually when I visited XAI a couple of weeks ago, where multiple agents work on the same problem, then they and they do that simultaneously, obviously, and then compare each other's work. And it gives you kinda like a study group, the best answer by consensus. Really interesting. According to artificial analysis benchmarks, you can pull that up, Nick.
Grok四的基础模型已经超越了OpenAI的o三Pro、谷歌Gemini的2.5 Pro,成为最智能的模型。这包括大约七种不同的行业标准评估测试。你可以去查一下,包括推理、数学、编码等。但请注意,这是书本上的聪明,不一定是实际应用中的智慧,所以并不意味着这些系统真的能够推理。当然,在X(以前称为Twitter)上也出现了一些争议,当时XAI说了一些各种疯狂的话,可能需要更果断地进行红队测试。
Rock's four base model has surpassed OpenAI's o three Pro, Google Gemini's 2.5 Pro as the most intelligent model. This includes, like, seven different industry standard evaluation tests. You can look it up, but reasoning, math, coding, all that kind of stuff. This is, you know, book smarts, not necessarily street smarts, so it doesn't mean that these things can reason. And, obviously, there was a little there was a little kerfuffle on X, formerly known as Twitter, where XAI got a little frisky and was saying all kinds of crazy stuff and needed to maybe be red teamed a little bit more decisively.
你们很多人知道Grok四是在Colossus上训练的。那是埃隆一直在建设的那个巨型数据中心,我们在这里展示了图表,Chamath。你在群聊中给我们发了一个Rich Sutton于2019年写的博客文章《苦涩的教训》的链接。我们会在这里把它调出来供大家查看,并将其放入节目备注中。
Many of you know Grok four was trained on Colossus. That's that giant data center that Elon's been building, and we showed the chart here, Chamath. You sent us a link to the bitter lesson by Rich Sutton in the group chat. That's the 2019 blog post. We'll pull it up here for people to take a look at and put it in the show notes.
也许总的来说
Maybe just generally
是的。你的
Yeah. Your
对埃隆进展如此之快的反应,以及图表显示了他追赶的速度。我认为人们并没有预料到他会领先,但我们现在确实到了这个地步。
reaction to both how quickly Elon has and that chart showed you, how quickly Elon has caught up. And I don't think people expected him to take the lead, but here we are.
在我们开始之前,Nick,你能展示一下埃隆关于他们在AGI基准测试中表现如何的推文吗?那真是令人难以置信。两点。第一点是从2023年三月开始,不到两年半的时间,这个团队所取得的成就以及他们相对于其他人的领先地位,正如这张图所展示的那样。
Before we start, Nick, can you please show Elon's tweet about how they did on the AGI benchmark? It's absolutely incredible. Two things. One is how quickly starting in March of twenty twenty three. So we're talking about less than two and a half years, what this team has accomplished and how far ahead they are of everybody else as demonstrated by this.
第二点是埃隆做出的一个根本性的架构决策,我想我们现在才完全意识到这一点,而这一决策也映射到他在特斯拉所做的一个架构决策。很可能我们以后会发现他在SpaceX也做了类似的决定。这篇由Rich Sutton撰写的名为《苦涩的教训》的文章很好地概括了这一点。Nick,如果你能把它调出来看一下就更好了。简单总结一下这篇文章的观点,它基本上说的是,当你试图解决一个人工智能问题时,采用一种可以随计算能力扩展的通用学习方法总是更好的选择,因为最终证明这是最有效的方法。
But the second is a fundamental architectural decision that Elon made, which I think we didn't fully appreciate until now, and it maps to an architectural decision he made at Tesla as well. And for all we know, we'll figure out that he made an equivalent decision at SpaceX. And that decision is really well encapsulated by this essay, The Bitter Lesson by Rich Sutton. And Nick, if you can just throw this up here. But just to summarize what this says, it basically says in a nutshell that you're always better off when you're trying to solve an AI problem taking a general learning approach that can scale with computation because it ultimately proves to be the most effective.
而另一种方法则更加依赖人力劳动和人类参与,需要大量的人类知识。因此,第一种方法本质上允许你将任何问题视为一种可无限扩展的搜索或学习任务。事实证明,无论是国际象棋、围棋、语音识别还是计算机视觉,每当出现两种竞争性方法时,一种使用通用计算,另一种使用人类知识,最终总是通用计算的方法胜出。这给那些认为自己处于所有这些关键学习和飞跃中心的人来说是一个苦涩的教训。用更具体的AI语言来说,这意味着许多系统生成的嵌入完全无法被人类理解,但却能产生惊人的结果。
And the alternative would be something that's much more human labored and human involved that requires human knowledge. And so the first method, what it essentially allows you to do is view any problem as an endless scalable search or learning task. And as it's turned out, whether it's chess or Go or speech recognition or computer vision, whenever there was two competing approaches, one that used general computation and one that used human knowledge, the general computation problem always won. And so it creates this bitter lesson for humans that want to think that we are at the center of all of this critical learning and all of these leaps. In more AI specific language, what it means is that a lot of these systems create these embeddings that are just not understandable by humans at all, but it yields incredible results.
那么为什么这很疯狂呢?嗯,他豪赌了一个拥有10万个GPU的集群。人们觉得,哇,这数量太大了,会有效果吗?然后他说,不。
So why is this crazy? Well, he made this huge bet on this 100,000 GPU cluster. People thought, wow, that's a lot. Is it gonna bear fruit? Then he said, no.
实际上,我正在把它扩展到25万个GPU。然后他又说要扩展到一百万个GPU。而这些结果表明,这种不需要太多人工标注的通用计算方法实际上可以更快地得到答案,甚至更好的答案。这具有巨大的影响,因为如果你考虑一下其他所有公司,Lama在做什么?他们刚刚花了150亿美元购买了Scale AI的49%股份。
Actually, I'm scaling it up to 250,000. Then he said it's gonna scale up to a million. And what these results show is a general computational approach that doesn't require as much human labeling, can actually get to the answer and better answers faster. That has huge implications because if you think about all these other companies, what has Lama been doing? They just spent 15,000,000,000 to buy 49% of Scale AI.
这正是对人类知识的一种下注。Gemini在做什么?OpenAI在做什么?Anthropic在做什么?所以所有这些做法都受到了质疑。
That's exactly a bet on human knowledge. What is Gemini doing? What is OpenAI doing? What is Anthropic doing? So all these things come into question.
最后我要说的是,如果你回顾一下,他以前曾做过一次这样的豪赌,那就是特斯拉FSD与Waymo之间的较量。特斯拉FSD只有摄像头,没有激光雷达。但他的想法是,我会比其他人更早地收集数十亿英里的驾驶数据,并应用通用计算,从而比其他更为繁琐且昂贵的方法更快实现自动驾驶。我认为这是技术领域一个非凡的时刻,我们看到了如此多的例子。
And then the last thing I'll say is if you look back, he made this bet once before, which was Tesla FSD versus Waymo. And Tesla FSD only had cameras. It didn't have LIDAR. But the bet was, I'll just collect billions and billions of driving miles before anybody else does and apply general compute, and it'll get to autonomy faster than the other more laborious and very expensive approach. So I just think it's an incredible moment in technology where we see so many examples.
Travis也是另一个例子,他刚刚谈到的内容。你知道,这个苦涩的教训在于你可以相信食物是一种由人手工精心制作的不可改变的东西,或者你可以采用这种通用计算的方法,也就是他所采取的方法,等待成本曲线发挥作用,现在你可以将食品供应扩展到地球上的每个人。我只是觉得这意义非常深远。
Travis is another one, what he's just talked about. You know, the bitter lesson is you could believe that, you know, food is this immutable thing that's made meticulously by hand by these individuals, or you can take this general purpose compute approach, which is what he took, waited for these cost curves to come into play, and now you can scale food to every human on Earth. I I just think it's a it's so profoundly important.
我想补充一点,Chamath,特斯拉在自动驾驶方面的做法其实也利用了人类的知识。事实上,整个理念就是模拟人类驾驶行为,对吧?这就是全部的关键所在。根据你的方法和技术不同,你可以采用所谓的端到端方法,或者你可以将其分解为感知、预测、规划和控制这四个模块,这些模块是你通过工程设计来实现的,如果这样讲得通的话。
One thing I'll throw out there, Chamath, is the Tesla approach for autonomy is taking human knowledge. In fact, the whole idea is to approximate human human driving. Right? That is the whole damn thing. Now depending on your approach and the technology, you can do, like, what's called an end to end approach, or you can look at, okay, perception, prediction, planning, and control, which are like these four modules that sort of you you you sort of engineer if that makes sense.
但它本质上是在模仿人类驾驶行为。区别在于,我认为马斯克采取了一种更接近人类的方法,就像他说的:我有两只眼睛,为什么我的车不能像人类一样驾驶?作为一个人类,我的头上并没有旋转的激光雷达,那为什么我的车就需要呢?
But it's approximating human driving to do it. The difference is that, you know, I I think Elon's taken a a almost a more human approach, which is like, I've got two eyes. Why can't my car why can't my car do it like a human? Like, I don't have any LIDAR spinning around on my head as a human. Why can't my car?
所以这挺有意思的。他某种程度上采纳了你说的观点,Chamath,从计算的角度来看,特斯拉的硬件五代可能明年就要发布了,这将极大提升FSD的能力,这就是你所说的计算方面的发展,但他同时又是在模拟人类的行为。
So it's kinda interesting. He's sort of taking what you're saying, Chamath, on the computation side because hardware five is coming out on Tesla probably next year, which is gonna make a big difference in what FSD can do. That's the compute side you're talking about, but then he is approximating human.
我只是想表达,除了FSD最初几个版本之外,据André(Andre Karpathy)所说,现在的系统已经不再那么依赖于人类标注了,对吧?没错,没错。
I just meant that, you know, other than the first versions of FSD, which I think Andre talked about, Andre Karpathy talked about, you know, they're not really so reliant anymore on human labeling per se. Right? That Respect. Yeah. Yeah.
是啊,就是那个干扰。然后
Yeah. That interference. And then
是的。
Yeah.
他说的另一个疯狂的事情是,后续版本的Grok将不会使用任何现有的传统数据集进行训练。
The other crazy thing that he said, subsequent versions of Grok are not gonna be trained on any traditional dataset that exists in the wild.
人类知识的总和在AI训练中已经被耗尽了,这基本上发生在去年。因此,唯一能补充的方法就是使用合成数据,让AI自己写一篇文章或者提出一个论点,然后自我评估,并通过这种自我学习的过程来生成数据。
The cumulative sum of human knowledge has been exhausted in AI training. That happened basically last last year. And so the only way to then supplement that is with synthetic data where the AI creates it'll sort of write an essay or come up with with a thesis, and then it will grade itself and and and and sort of go through this process of self learning with synthetic data.
他说他会用代理从零开始创建合成数据,然后驱动所有的训练,我觉得这太疯狂了。
He said that he's gonna have agents creating synthetic data from scratch that then drive all the training, which I just think is it's crazy.
再解释一次这个概念,在‘痛苦教训’中提到,把启发式规则硬编码进计算机,比如说,嘿,这些是特定的开局
Just explain this concept one more time in the Bitter Lesson. Hand coding heuristics into the computer and saying, hey. Here are specific openings
在国际象棋中,对,用国际象棋举例,没错。
in chess and t Use yeah. Use chess. Right? Yeah.
国际象棋。你手动编码具体的开局和残局等例子,而不是说,玩每一种可能的游戏,我们拥有所有游戏的数据。所以这就是。
Chess. You're hand coding specific examples of openings in their end games, etcetera, versus just saying, play every possible game, and here's every game we have. So here's the Yeah.
对。所以这两种方法可以这么说,比如特拉维斯和我正在构建竞争版本的国际象棋求解器。特拉维斯的方法会说,我只是定义棋盘。我会给玩家一定的移动边界,对吧?比如主教只能斜着走,还有一些边界条件。
Yeah. So the two approaches would be, let's say, like, Travis and I were building competing versions of a chess solver. And Travis's approach would say, I'm just gonna define the chessboard. I'm gonna give the players certain boundaries in which they can move, right? So the bishop can only move diagonally and there's a couple of boundary conditions.
我会设计一个奖励函数,然后让它自行学习和自我对弈,这是他的版本。当你穷举出所有可能的排列组合后,当你去和基思(世界上最好的国际象棋选手)对弈时,你在做的就是,好的,基思走了这一步。所以你要寻找基思的这一步棋,然后你会有一个最佳应对方式的概率分布,反之亦然。
And I'm gonna create a reward function I'm just gonna let the thing self learn and self play. That's his version. And then what happens is when you map out every single permutation, when you go and play Keith, who's the best chess player in the world, what you're doing at that point is saying, okay. Keith made this move. So you search for what Keith's move is, and you have a distribution of the best moves that you could make in response or vice versa.
那就是当时最先进的方法。另一种方法更不同,也更被人们认为是更所谓优雅、不那么暴力的方法,就是杰森,你和我可以坐下来讨论说,如果基思走到这里,我们应该怎么做,应该采用西西里防御的这个具体变种,但这里面包含了太多人类知识。我认为事实证明,人类在心理上需要相信我们自己也是答案的一部分。但这次表明,由于摩尔定律和通用计算的发展,这种参与已经不再必要。你只需要放手,放弃控制权。
That was the cutting edge approach. The different approach, which is more, you know, what people would think is more quote unquote elegant and less brute force, would be, Jason, for you and I to sit there and say, okay, if Keith moves here, we should do this, we should do this specific variation of the Sicilian defense and it's too much human knowledge. And I think what it turned out was there was a psychological need for humans to believe we were part of the answer. But what this is showing is because of Moore's Law and because of general computation, it's just not necessary. You just have to let go, give up control.
对某些人来说这非常困难。而对另一些人来说,在某些情况下也是如此。
And that's very hard for some people. And for others, it's
尤其是在汽车在路上行驶并在此过程中进行学习的情况下,这就很困难,这就是为什么你需要一个安全驾驶员。我认为埃隆做出这个决定是对的。
also very hard in some circumstances where a car is driving down the road and it's learning in that process, which is why you need a safety driver, and and I think Elon made the right decision to put one in there.
基思,你怎么看?是的,有几点。事情并没有那么简单,查马斯。我基本上同意你的观点走向。
Keith, your thoughts? Yeah. A a couple points. It's it's not quite that binary, Chamath. I generally agree with your arc.
但是,如果你认为大语言模型(LLMs)是人工智能领域最重要的突破,那这些模型都是基于人类写作的数据训练出来的。这意味着每一段用于训练大语言模型的数据,历史上都曾由某个人写过。所以,虽然它们的影响,包括对各种问题的广泛适用性,确实让所有人感到震惊,包括OpenAI最初的团队,但这并不是像有人从外太空找来了不是人类起草的数据来训练模型。当你进入非大语言模型时,你可能是对的,但几乎没有人真正大规模使用非大语言模型。
But, like, if you think about LLMs being the most important unlock in AI, LLMs are all trained on human writing. So someone wrote every piece of data that every LLM used, a human wrote at some point in history. So, yes, it's true that they've shocked everybody, including OpenAI's, you know, original team on the implications, the broad implications, the general applicability to almost every problem. But it's not like there was some tablets floating in space that weren't drafted by humans that we've trained on. As you get in non LLM based models, you may be totally right, but almost no one's really using non LLM based models at scale.
特别是在驾驶方面,特拉维斯说得完全正确,人类实际上是非常好的司机,除非他们分心了。他们可能因为药物或酒精而分心,也可能因为疲劳,或者是因为调收音机、与乘客聊天而分心。
On driving, specifically, Travis is totally right, that humans are actually really good drivers except when they get distracted. They get distracted by drugs or alcohol. They get distracted by being tired. They get distracted by turning the radio. They get distracted by chatting with their passenger.
因此,针对人类行为的弱点来做决策其实是一个很好的选择,因为出于某种达尔文式的原因,人类本来就是理想的司机。所以你不需要从第一原理出发思考,这是一条更好的路径。我认为,再次强调,这可能带来一个普遍的经验教训。我想作为风险投资家来说最重要的一点,正如你所说,是我们多年来一直在争论的问题。
So trading against human behaviors actually turned out to be a great decision because what for whatever sort of Darwinistic reasons, humans are pretty ideal drivers. And so you don't have to reason from first principles. This is a much better path. And I think, again, there may be a a broad sort of lesson there. The most important thing, I think, as a VC that you said, is we've been debating for years.
我们是否应该投资像Scale或Mercor这样的公司,或者任何这类数据标注公司?真相是,我认为人工标注数据的价值半衰期非常短。因此,所有投资这些公司的人都只是关注收入增长,却没有意识到也许最多一年、两年或三年之后,就几乎不会再有人用人工标注的数据来做任何事情了。
Should we invest in companies like Scale or Mercor or any of these surge? The truth is I think there's a very short half life on human labeled data. And so everybody who's investing in these companies, they're just looking at revenue traction, really didn't understand that there may be a year, two years, three years max when anybody uses human labeled data for maybe anything.
因为我们已经触及了人类知识或其收集的尽头。
Because we hit the end of human knowledge or just the collection of it.
或者 或许是你
Or Or you
已完成99%。
99% done.
或者你训练得如此之好,以至于不再需要标注。比如,机器知道如何进行标注,其效果等于或优于人类。我们在自动驾驶领域已经看到这种情况,标注曾经是非常巨大的工作量。对吧?你可以想象通过视频加上激光雷达创建了一个三维场景。
Or you train on you train on it so well that you don't need to label anymore. Like, the the machines know how to label as good or better than a human. And so, like, we're seeing this in the self driving space is labeling was huge. Right? You would have a three-dimensional sort of scene that's created by video plus lidar, let's say.
好的。我基本上要标注所有这些框。比如,我已经识别了物体。在自动驾驶软件领域的一些主要参与者,现在已完全不需要人工标注了,因为机器可以完成全部工作。
Okay. I have to label all of these essentially what become boxes. Like, I've identified objects. You're you're some of the players in the in the autonomous software space, autonomous vehicle software space, are no longer doing any labeling because the machines are doing it all
总体来说,这将直接内置到芯片组中,比如这就是一个停车标志。就像我们人类知道什么是停车标志一样,不需要再百万次地重复识别它。
just broadly. It'll just be built into the chip set that this is a stop sign. Like, it's like we know what a stop sign is. We don't need the millionth time
以前有人必须手动标注验证码中的图像,比如让你找出停车标志或交通灯是什么。但最终,机器在识别这些东西方面比人类强得多。
for somebody to label CAPTCHA is like, you're like, find the stop sign or what's the traffic light? And, eventually, the machines are just way better than humans at identifying these things.
从实际角度出发,当你看到停车标志时,你并不需要明确识别出它是一个停车标志。你只需要观察到每当人类遇到停车标志时,99.9%的情况下他们都会踩刹车。而从来没有人真正去确认那是一个停车标志,只是当看到类似这种物体的东西时,就踩刹车而已。
For you to be very practical, when you see a stop sign, you don't have to identify that it's a stop sign. You just see that every human, when they encounter a stop sign, 99.9% of the time, they hit a brake. And they never act so nobody actually knows it's a stop sign. It's just that hit a brake when you see something that looks like this object.
就是一种感觉。没错,就是一种感觉。
It's just a vibe. Yep. It's a vibe.
我想说的是,这类似于直觉知识与明确标注的人类知识之间的区别。对我来说的问题是,如果一开始大家都非常依赖人工标注,那么如果你是一位投资者,现在看到Grok四的结果,你怎么做出投资决策而不只是单纯押注计算能力?看看这些结果,是否意味着让计算机自行摸索答案相比人为介入之间存在300到1000个基点的差距?如果每次迭代中人为介入导致300到1000个基点的延迟,那么经过两三次迭代后,你就彻底落后了。那么对于其他不是Grok的公司来说,今天醒来之后,他们该如何调整策略或加倍下注呢?
I I would just say that that's like intuitive knowledge versus like the expressly labeled human knowledge. The question for me is if everybody was so reliant on human labeling initially, if you're an investor now, when you see these Grok four results, how do you make an investment decision that's not purely levered to just computation? So if you look at these results, does it mean that the, you know, there's 300 to 1,000 basis points of lag between just letting the computers vibe itself to the answer versus interjecting ourselves. If interjecting ourselves slows us down by 300 to 1,000 basis points per successive iteration, then over two or three iterations, you've totally lost. So what does it mean for everybody that's not Grok when they wake up today and they have to decide how do I change my strategy or double down?
我认为这样。我不参与投资游戏,但如果我是的话,我会专注于科学突破。有时候我会陷入这样的状态:我在探索一条道路。比如,我可能凌晨四五点就醒了,一天还没开始,但我已经睡不着了。
I think look. I'm I'm not in the investment game, but if I were, it would be all about scientific breakthrough. So I sometimes get in this place where I'm looking I'm going down a path. You know, I'll be up at four or five in the morning. My day hasn't quite started, but I'm not sleeping anymore.
然后我会开始浏览Quora,看到一些有趣的量子物理问题或其他感兴趣的内容,接着我会和GPT或Grok一起深入研究这个问题。我们会逐渐接近量子物理领域的已知边界。这时我就像是在做“感觉编程”,只不过这次是“感觉物理学”。当我们接近已知范围的边缘时,我会尝试探索是否存在新的突破。通过这种方式,我确实非常接近发现了一些有趣的新成果。你知道吗,我还曾一度联系过马斯克。
And I'll start go like, I'll be on Quora and see some cool quantum physics question or something else I'm looking into, and I'll go down this thread with GPT or Grok, and I'll start to get to the edge of what's known in quantum physics. And then I'm doing the equivalent of vibe coding, except it's vibe physics. And we're approaching what's known, and I'm trying to poke and see if there's breakthroughs to be had. And I've gotten pretty damn close to some interesting breakthroughs just doing that. And I, you know, I pinged pinged Elon at some point.
我就像,伙计,如果我在做这个,而我还是个超级业余的物理学爱好者,那么那些使用这个工具的博士生和博士后们又会怎样呢?而且这是在Grok四发布之前的情况。现在有了Grok四,以前我会看到Grok犯的一些错误,然后我去纠正它,我们还会讨论这些问题。Grok四可能成为真正发生突破的地方,新的突破。所以如果我要投资这一领域,我会想,谁在科学突破以及这些基础模型之上的应用层面占据优势,并且能够引导这个方向?
I'm just like, dude, if I'm if I'm doing this and I'm super amateur hour physics enthusiast, like, what about all those PhD students and postdocs that are super legit using this tool? And this is pre Grok four. Now with Grok four, like there's a lot of mistakes I was seeing Grok make that then I would correct, and we would talk about it. Grok four could be this place where breakthroughs are actually happening, new breakthroughs. So if I'm investing in this space, I would be like, who's got the edge on scientific breakthroughs and and the application layer on top of these foundational models that orients that direction?
你的看法是,LLM们是否真的开始具备推理能力,从而能提出一个全新的概念理论并实现突破?还是说我们只是过度解读了它们的表现,其实它们只是在边缘尝试一些随机的东西?
Is your perception that the LLMs are actually starting to get to the reasoning level that they'll come up with a novel concept theory and have that breakthrough or that we're kinda reading into it and it's just trying random stuffs at the at the margins?
这或者也可能不会发生。
It's Or maybe it doesn't happen.
不。不是这样的。
No. No.
不。我所看到的是,再说一遍,我还没用过Grok四。今天早上我试着用了一下,但不知为何,在我的应用程序上无法使用。那我们就以Grok三和现有的Chat GPT为例。不。
No. So what I've what I've seen and, again, I haven't used Grok four. I tried to use it early this morning, but for some reason, I couldn't do it on my on my app. But so let's say we're talking Grok three and existing chat GPT as it is. No.
它无法提出新想法。这些东西太依赖于已知的知识,它们就像是,甚至当我想要提出一个新想法时,我必须非常努力地拉拽它,就像牵着一头驴一样。因为它不想打破传统智慧,它特别坚持传统观念。你不断拉扯它,最后它才突然说,哦,天哪,你好像真发现了什么。
It cannot come up with a new idea. These things are so wedded to what is known, and they're so like, even when I come up with a new idea, I have to really it's like pulling a donkey sort of. You're pulling because it doesn't want to break conventional wisdom. It's like really adhering to conventional wisdom. You're pulling it out and then eventually goes, oh shit, you got something.
但当它这么说的时候,你得停下来,再仔细检查几遍,确保你真的有所发现。
But then when it says that when it says that, then you have to you have to go, okay, it said that, but I'm not sure. Like you have to double and triple check to make sure that you really got something.
正如你所说,当这些模型完全脱离了必须从现实世界中学习的限制,而是可以仅通过合成数据进行学习时,一切都将颠倒过来。那时最重要的将是最好的假设或最好的问题。你可以直接给它一个问题,它就能把它解决出来。
To your point, when these models are fully divorced from having to learn on the known world and instead can just learn synthetically Yeah. Then everything gets flipped upside down to what is the best hypothesis you have or what is the best question. You could just give it some problem, and it would just figure it out.
所以,我想说的是,这一切都关乎科学方法。对,如果你有一个LM或某种基础模型,它是世界上最擅长运用科学方法的,那就赢麻了。你基本上只需要点亮更多的GPU,就相当于多了一千个博士生为你工作。
So where I go on this one, guys, is it's all about scientific method. Right? If you get if you have an LM or foundational model of some kind that is the best in the world with the scientific method, gain the f over. You basically you just light up more GPUs, and you just got, like, a thousand more PhD students working for you.
基思,你在这里点头呢。
Keith, you're nodding your head here.
加入进来吧。我同意这一点。我认为这太棒了,因为科学方法同样如此,速度越快,你在提出假设后获得反馈的速度就越快,你就越有可能不断深入、递归地研究下去。而每一次延迟,每一毫秒的延迟都会让你失去思路。这样你就能得到Travis提到的好处以及速度优势,你会到达以前根本无法想象的地方。
Jump in. I I agree with that. I think that's fantastic because the scientific method, also, the faster it is, the more you when you have a hypothesis, the faster you get a response, you're more likely to dive in and dive in and dive in recursively and recursively. And every lag, every millisecond lag causes you to, like, lose your train of thought sort of, so to speak. So you get the benefits that Travis alluded to plus speed, and you go places you never would guess.
当你经营一家公司并进行分析时,这种情况经常发生。如果你有一个工具可以让你快速连续地查询、双击、三击,那么你可以找到原本永远找不到的答案,只要有一点点延迟,哪怕是一两秒钟,更不用说还要等待人工处理。其次,你现在实际上已经看到这种现象正在发生。如果你观察那些支撑科学的基础模型,就会发现有很多关于人体、比如生物学方面的联系,我们人类其实并没有完全理解。例如,为什么我们要做X?
This happens all the time when you run a company and you're doing, like, analytics, and you have a tool that allows you to constantly query quickly, quickly, quickly, double click, triple click. You get to answers that you never get to if there's even a second or two second or three second, let alone sending it to a human. Secondly, where you actually see this today, it's already happening. If you look at foundational models that justify the science, there's lots of things about the human body, let's say, biology that we humans don't actually understand all the connections. Like, why do we do x?
为什么有些人会得癌症?为什么其他人不会得?为什么大脑以这种方式运作?仅基于科学训练的模型往往会揭示出人类前所未有的联系。
Why do some people get cancer? Why do other people not get cancer? Why does the brain work this way? Models trained solely on science tend to expose connections that no human has ever had before.
而且
And
这是因为原材料就在那里,而我们对它的有意识认知只有大约10%。但当你将它应用于其他人类领域时,当你训练的是人类数据、人类产出的数据和结果时,它又受限于这些输出。因此我认为你只需广泛地应用科学,最终你会发现一些人类从未想到过的事物。
that's because, like, the raw material's there, and we only have a conscious awareness of called 110%. But when you apply it to other human domains where you're training on human sort of data, human produced data, human produced output, they're limited to that output. So I think you just take the science and apply it writ large, and you you're gonna wind up finding things that no human has ever thought before.
不过科学的特点是,你需要在物理世界中验证你的假设。所以你可能会想,好吧,如果你拥有这样一个蜂巢思维,一种计算引擎,某种意义上的大脑。
And it's the the the thing about science, though, is that it's the hypothesis that you then have to test in the physical world. So the you're like, okay. If you've got this hive mind, this, like, you know, this computation engine, this brain of sorts.
你想说的是‘意识’这个词,但你忍住了没说出来。
You wanted to say consciousness, but you stopped yourself.
当时我在想,该怎么描述它呢?那个大写的C词——意识。但你必须能够在物理世界中进行测试。你可以设想一个与这些系统连接的真实实验室,在那里可以说:好,如果是化学实验,就可以做化学实验,或者物理学实验。
Was like, how do I describe it? The big c word, consciousness. But but you need to be able to test in the physical world. So you could imagine a a physical lab connected to one of these systems where then you could say, okay. Like, if it's a chemistry experiment, you could do chemistry experiments or physics.
你应该明白我的意思。
You you get the idea.
那会有什么问题吗?
What could go wrong?
那会是的,是的。没什么大不了的。一切都会好起来的。好的。所以但这是它的归宿,因为如果你有一台科学方法机器,你仍然需要能够检验你的假设。
It would it would be it's yeah. No big deal. It's gonna be fine. Okay. So but but this is where it goes because if you have a scientific method machine, you still have to be able to test your hypothesis.
你必须经历科学的澄清过程。
You have to go through the scientific clarification.
是的,完全正确。
Yeah. Exactly.
是的,这有点令人震惊。让我想起一件令人震惊的事情。如果你还记得的话,我不确定你们是否记得暗物质以及它的发现等等。正如丽莎·兰道尔向我解释的那样,这个发现并不是通过知道那里有暗物质并观察到它而做出的,而是通过观察到某些引力作用存在于其他物质周围才得出的。
Yeah. It's kinda mind blowing. Reminds me mind blowing. If you remember I don't know if you guys remember dark matter and, like, the discovery of it and everything. And as explained to me by Lisa Randall, you know, the the discovery was made not by knowing there was dark matter there and observing it, but observing there was something, you know, gravitational forces around this other matter.
然后他们说,等一下,是什么导致了这种现象?于是他们发现了暗物质。所以这些想法你知道的,认为一个大型语言模型(LLM)实际上可以做到这一点,提出如此新颖的想法,这不会让我们感觉我们可能就在那个临界点上吗?对吧?
And then they said, wait. What's causing that? And that's why they found dark matter. So these ideas you know, the idea that an LLM could actually do that, come up with something so novel is it doesn't it feels like we might be right there. Right?
就像,我们正处于突破的边缘。
Like, we're kind of on the cusp of it.
数学中七个最难或最重要的问题之一就是证明一个叫做纳维-斯托克斯方程的一般解,这基本上类似于粘性流体动力学和质量守恒。我们在日常设计所有东西时都使用它。知道吗?它还没有被证明过。这难道不是最疯狂的事情吗?你怎么会连这个都不懂?
One of the seven most difficult problems in math or the most important problems in math is proving a general solution to this thing called Mavi Stokes, which is basically like viscous fluid dynamics and conservation of mass. We use it every day in the design of everything. You know what? It hasn't been proved. Isn't that the craziest thing where you're just like, how is this even possible?
我们用它来设计飞机,设计一切,但它仍未被证明。因此,你可以让一台计算机专门研究这个问题,从而揭开宇宙中无数惊人的奥秘,我们可能会发现完全不同的推进系统,也许我们可以实现一些我们以前认为不可能的事情,比如传送。我的意思是,谁知道什么都有可能呢?
We use it airplanes, to design everything. It hasn't been proved. And so you could just point a computer at this thing and you would unlock all these incredible mysteries of the universe and we would probably find completely different propulsion systems. We could probably do things that we didn't think were possible, teleportation. I mean, who knows what's possible?
但记住,记住埃隆是如何谈论布洛克以及总体上的人工智能的,那就是:我们为什么在这里?我们的目的是什么?
But remember remember, you know, how Elon talks about Brock and and about AI generally is about why are we here? What is the purpose?
宇宙的意义。
Meaning of the universe.
是的。宇宙的意义是什么?它是如何运作的?其中还有一种强烈的追求真理的机制。
Yeah. What is the meaning of the universe? How does it work? And a sort of fierce truth seeking mechanism there.
我问你们一个问题,Keith,Travis,Jason。如果你们在运营Grok四号会怎样?
Let me ask you a question, Keith, Travis, Jason. If you guys were running Grok four.
那将会非常有趣。
That'd be so much fun.
你们如何用柔道技巧击败OpenAI?因为他们正坚定地朝着十亿MAO、然后是十亿DAO迈进。它是一个强大的对手。那么你们如何利用更好的产品,在关键时刻击败这个相对较差的产品呢?
How do you judo flip OpenAI? Because they are marching steadfastly towards a billion MAO, then a billion DAO. It's a juggernaut. So how do you use the better product in a moment to judo flip the less better product?
听着,是的。我的意思是,问题就在这里,对吧?所以你要按照Elon的方式去做。
Look. Yeah. I mean, here's the thing. Right? So you do the Elon Way.
你得召集一群有传教士精神的工程师,全力以赴工作的传教士型工程师,你们的文化是一种极度追求真理的文化,不陷入政治、官僚主义和废话之中,你就放手去干。我认为,你知道的,这就是关键。然后你会发现,科学突破、科学方法。
So you you get a bunch of missionary, like, full on missionary engineers that work twice as hard, and you have a culture that is ultra fierce truth seeking, and you don't you don't get caught up in politics, bureaucracy, b s, and you just you go for it. And and I think, you know, that's where you know? And then you go, wow. Scientific breakthrough. Scientific method.
比如,你开始以真理取胜,我相信这将使产品的卓越程度足以挑战OpenAI的产品。
Like, you start winning on truth, and that will start I believe that will start to give the product awesomeness of OpenAI a run for its money.
嗯。
Mhmm.
但是,OpenAI的产品部门,那些家伙做得非常出色。
But, like, the product of OpenAI, the product department, those guys are crushing.
他们正在崩溃。
They're crashing.
它们确实很厉害。他们不仅领先于行业,而且他们自己也感觉到了这一点,他们在很多方面都处于领先地位。但如果你更擅长把握真相,最终你将拥有一个AI产品经理。
They're really good. They're not only ahead of the game, but they feel like it just they're just leading in a lot of different ways. But if you are better at truth, you will eventually you'll eventually have an AI product manager.
从战术层面来说,人们也常常忘记埃隆在工厂和实体世界事务上的卓越能力。嗯哼。他建立Colossus(超级工厂)时,黄仁勋就曾惊讶道:你是怎么做到的?对吧?所以,发挥他的这种优势,他的建厂能力,并且他多次说过,工厂本身才是特斯拉的产品。
And on a tactical basis too, people forget how good Elon is at factories and physical real world things. Mhmm. What he did standing up colossus made, like Jensen Wan was like, how is this possible that you did this? Right? So pressing that, his ability to build factories and he said many times, like, the factory is the product to Tesla.
真正的产品不是从工厂里生产出来的汽车或电池,而是工厂本身。如果他能在太阳能方面解决能源问题,同时发展电池和建设Colossus二号、三号、四号、五号工厂,那么他在这一领域将拥有巨大的优势。此外,还有Travis(霍普金斯)这样的传教士型人物。顺便提一下,Travis是他早前支持的人,那时山姆·阿尔特曼还没有扭曲OpenAI最初的传教士精神,把它变成封闭的AI。这并不是对阿尔特曼有什么贬低的意思,但他确实欺骗并背叛了埃隆。这不是什么个人恩怨,他就是坑了埃隆一把。
It's not the cars that come out of the factory or the batteries. It's the factory itself. So if he can keep solving the energy problem with solar on one side and batteries and standing up, you know, colossus two, three, four, five, he's gonna have a massive advantage there on top of Travis, you know, the missionary individuals, which, by the way, was what he backed before Sam Altman corrupted the original missionary basis of OpenAI and made it closed AI and a know, this is nothing derogatory towards him, but he did hoodwink and stab Elon in the back. It's not nothing personal. I mean, he just screwed him over.
你会说他是欺骗了他吗?
Would you say he bamboozled him?
他欺骗了他,坑了他,蒙骗了他。你知道的,你可以选择不同的词来形容。但他并没有做卑鄙的事。最初的使命是成为通用的开源组织,等等。
He bamboozled him, screwed him, hoodwinked him. You know? But you pick your term here. But he didn't he didn't dirty. The original mission was to be like a generic open source all this content.
这是另一个我认为是变数的因素,然后我会听听基思的观点。但开源其中一些内容可能会产生深远的影响。我认为,开源自动驾驶数据可能会带来非常深远的影响。埃隆想要做一些真正颠覆性的事情。比如,他曾开源了自己的充电专利。
That's the other piece I think is a wild card, and I'll and then I'll I'm interested in Keith's position. But open sourcing some of this could have profound ramifications. I think open sourcing the self driving data could have a really profound impact. Elon wanted to do something really disruptive. Like, he open sourced his patents for, you know, charging.
如果他开源了自动驾驶数据集和自动驾驶技术,其他人有没有能力像他一样大规模生产机器人出租车?我认为没有。
If he open sourced the dataset and self driving, does anybody have the ability to produce robotaxis at the scale he can do it? I don't think so.
嗯,如果特拉维斯的假设是正确的,那么是的,每个人都能做到。
Well, if Travis's hypothesis is true, then, yeah, everybody will.
那每个人都能做什么?抱歉,每个人都能做什么,希蒙?
Well Everybody will what? Sorry. Everybody will what, Shimon?
如果你能获得购买计算能力的资金,那么每个人都可以解决这个问题。
If you have access to the money that buys the compute, everyone could solve that problem.
哪个他
Which He
他说如果他发布了所有的FSD数据,有人能制造出自动驾驶汽车吗?
said he said if he if he published all the FSD data, could somebody build an autonomous vehicle?
当然可以。但有人能从工厂里生产出一亿辆装有电池的机器人出租车吗?好的。
Well, yes. But could somebody produce a 100,000,000 robotaxis from a factory with batteries in them? Okay.
不能。那是不同的问题,那是个
No. That's a diff that's
不同的问题。我的意思是。
a different question. I'm saying.
其实也不太算不同,因为很好。上一次我作为嘉宾参加节目时,我们谈到了垂直整合。产品确实需要垂直整合。因此,最终你会拥有一辆专门为自动驾驶设计的车辆,并且它的交互方式也有所不同。成本结构也不同。
And not really because Good. Last time I was a guest on, you know, all and we talked about vertical integration. Products really require vertical integration. So, ultimately, you have a self driving something that is custom built for knowing it's going to be self driving, and it interacts differently. The cost structure is different.
控制系统不一样,座椅布局也不一样。你在构建产品时要利用自己最具竞争优势的地方,然后加以发挥并强化这一优势。这正是为什么像苹果这样尽管错过了AI浪潮,在任何实证标准下仍然是一家相当不错的公司。我的意思是,他们在过去七十年最重要的技术突破上的表现绝对糟糕透顶,但公司依然存在,并且市值依然高达数万亿美元,因为他们实现了垂直整合。
The controls are different. The seating's different. Everything you build a product taking advantage of where in the staff you have the most competitive advantage, but then you leverage that and it reinforces. It's still why, like, Apple, despite missing the AI wave, still a pretty good company from any empirical standpoint. I mean, like, their performance is absolutely miserable on the most important technology breakthrough over the last seventy years, but the company is still alive and still worth trillions of dollars because it's vertically integrated.
正如你所说,OpenAI确实有一个优秀的产品团队,他们必须在产品层面保持领先,因为他们无法在工厂层面竞争。要在产品层面保持领先的方法就是推出设备。他们必须发布设备。它必须出色。它必须准确无误。
OpenAI, at per your point, they do have a good product team, and they need to stay ahead of the product level because they can't compete on the factory level. The way to stay ahead of the product level is shipping a device. They gotta ship the device. It's gotta be good. It's gotta be right.
它必须具备合适的外形尺寸。它必须为人类做一些意想不到的事情。但如果他们做到了这一点,那么他们就会成为苹果加AI的组合。
It's gotta be the right form factor. It's gotta do things for humans that are unexpected. But then if they do that, they're like Apple plus AI.
查马斯,你之前提到的论文是什么?论文的名字再说一遍?
Chamath, what's the paper you're talking about before? What was the name of it again?
痛苦的教训。
The Bitter Lesson.
这可能适用于自动驾驶,目前它仍然像这样:嘿,我该怎么像人一样开车?我们讨论过这个问题。但这里的飞跃时刻可能是这样的:嘿,开车就行了。
That that could apply to autonomous driving is right now it's still like, hey. How do I drive like a human? We talked about that. But the leapfrog moment here could be like, hey. Drive a car.
确保效率高,不要撞到任何人。然后模拟几万亿次,一切都没问题。对吧?但现在,我们仍在试图像人类那样驾驶,因为我们的数据还不够,因此无法进行足够的计算。
Make sure it's efficient. Don't hit anybody. And just simulate that quadrillion times, and it's all good. Right? But right now, we're still trying to drive like humans because we don't have enough data and therefore can't do enough compute.
顺便说一句,这是个全局性的教训。Tramath,你完全正确。从概念上讲,这篇博客文章是对的,但这只有在拥有足够数据的情况下才成立。根据不同的使用场景,你所需的数据量可能需要几年甚至几十年才能获得,在此之前你只能通过与人的交互来逐步实现目标。
That's the global lesson, by the way. Tramath, you're totally right. Conceptual you know, the blog post is right, but that's only true when you have enough data. And depending upon the use case, the level of data you need may not be possible for years, decades, and you may need to hack your way there through human interactions.
物理世界中的人工智能缺乏数据,所以你只能尝试去逼近人类的行为。
Physical world AI is lacking in data, and so you just try to approximate humans.
我不知道你们有没有看到这个消息。相关的新闻是,OpenAI 和 Perplexity 正在进军浏览器领域。Perplexity 推出了针对其每月 200 美元订阅层级的 Comet 浏览器。我实际上下载了它,稍后给你们看一下。
I don't know if you guys have seen this. In related news, OpenAI and Perplexity are going after the browser. Perplexity launched Comet for their 200 a month tier. I actually downloaded it. I'll show it to you in a second.
这是一个非常有趣的类别,是开发者现在就可以做的事情,而且他们经常这么做。明白吗?但是让浏览器连接到代理(agent),可以让你完成一些真正有趣的事情。我会在这里给你们展示一个例子,就是我们在谈话时刚刚运行的一个任务。
But this is a really interesting category. It's something developers can do already, and they do it all the time. You know? But having your browser connected to agents lets you do really interesting things. I'll show you an example here that I I just fired off while we're talking.
所以我刚刚问它,嘿,给我找一下从旧金山到纽约市的联合航空商务舱最佳航班。它会做一些搜索。但你在这里看到的是,它弹出了一个浏览器窗口,并且正在执行这项工作。你可以看到它使用的步骤。
So I just asked it, hey. Give me the best flights from United Airlines and business class from New York City from San Francisco to New York City. It does some searches. But what you see here is it's popped up a browser window, and it's actually doing that work. And you can see the steps it's using.
然后我可以实际打开那个浏览器窗口,看着它完成这些操作。这只是它的一张截图,它可以同时打开多个这样的窗口。比如前几天我在做一次搜索的时候,让它告诉我所有我没有在亚马逊上购买的自传。
And then I can actually open that browser window and watch it do that. This is just a screenshot of it. And it will open multiple of these. So you could I was doing a search the other day saying, like, hey. Tell me all the autobiographies I haven't bought on Amazon.
把它放进我的购物车并为每一本做个总结,因为我喜欢读传记,我喜欢在这里完成这些事情。上次它执行这个任务时,把我的航班信息添加到了我的账户里并完成了结账流程。所以,再说一遍,如果你是一个开发者,你会整天做这样的事情,但这似乎真的代表了一个新的产品类别。我很想知道你们是否已经试用过它,以及你们对于拥有这样一个能够实时执行这些任务的具备代理功能的浏览器有什么看法。当然,你也可以将你的 Gmail 和日历连接到它上面。
Put them into my, you know, shopping cart and summarize each of them because I like biographies and I like doing it here. And when it did this last time, it put my flight into like, and I was logged in under my account, and it basically put it into my account in the checkout. So, again, this isn't like if you're a developer, you do this all day long, but this really seems to be a new product category. I'm curious if you guys have played with it yet and then what your thoughts are on having an agentic browser like this available to you to be doing these tasks in real time. You can also connect, obviously, your Gmail, your calendar to it.
所以我做了一个搜索。告诉我我去过哪些餐馆,并按城市分类。然后我打算打开我的 OpenTable 并提取那些数据。Keith,这事情有意思的地方是,你不用非得通过云来做这件事。
So I did a a search. Tell me every restaurant I've been to and then put it by city. And then I was gonna open my OpenTable and then pull that data as well. What's interesting about this, Keith, and I I know you're a product guy and you've done a lot of product work. I'm curious your thoughts on it, is you don't have to do this in the cloud.
你已经登录了很多账户,而且你也不必担心被这些服务阻止,因为它看起来不像爬虫或机器人。它只是一个浏览器在执行任务。你怎么看这个?
You're authenticated already into a lot of your accounts, nor do you have to worry about being blocked by these services because it doesn't look like a scraper or a bot. It just that you're a browser doing the work. Your thoughts on this?
你
Have you
玩过它吗?
played with it at all?
玩过。我认为这是 Perplexity 的一次绝妙的孤注一掷尝试。我觉得如果没有这样的东西,Perplexity 就完了。比如 ChatGPT 达到十亿用户这个状态,它已经成为一个动词了,你知道的,就是普通消费者描述使用 AI 的方式。如果 Perplexity 无法实现这一点,那他们就没有其他出路了。
Yep. I think it's a great Hail Mary attempt by perplexity. I think absent something like this, perplexity is toast. Like, for the stat about ChatGPT going to a billion users, like, it's becoming the verb, you know, the the way you describe using AI for a normal consumer. There's nothing left in perplexity if they can't pull this off.
所以这是一个很棒的想法,因为消费科技公司的历史表明,谁先占据高地,谁就拥有巨大的优势。实际上,谷歌也应该这么做。老实说,我认为谷歌搜索和跨搜索也完蛋了。既然他们有 Chrome 浏览器,理论上还有 Gemini 这个优质团队,他们应该将这两者结合起来,希望与 ChatGPT 竞争。否则他们在搜索领域的地位将会失去。
So it's a great idea because, like, the history of, like, consumer technology companies is whoever's up has uphill ground, like, in a military sense, whoever's first has a lot of control. This is actually what Google should be doing, truthfully. Like, I think Google's also Google search cross search is toast. And since they have Chrome and they theoretically have a a quality team in Gemini, they should be putting these two things together and hoping to compete with Chad GPT. They're gonna lose the search game.
目前来看,谷歌最好的资产其实跟搜索无关。而是它的其他所有产品。如果他们能想办法利用好这些产品,这才是拯救这家公司的唯一途径。
Like, the assets that are best at Google right now have nothing to do with search. It's every other product. It's the only thing that's gonna save that company if they can figure out how to use them.
Travis,你对这个领域有什么看法?有没有想到一些特别的功能集?我知道你喜欢思考产品和用户体验。
Travis, your thoughts on this category? Anything come to mind for you in terms of, you know, feature sets that would be extraordinary here? I know you you like to think about products and the consumer experience.
非常有趣。正如你们知道的,我最近一直在关注房地产、建筑和机器人技术。我已经很久没有参与这种消费类软件领域了。但过去六个月里,有一些消费软件公司的 CEO 让我感到很感兴趣。
It's really interesting. So, you know, I've been spending yeah. As you guys know, I've been spending my time on real estate and construction and robotics. And so I've I've been out of the this kind of consumer software game for a long time. But super interesting over the last six months, there have been a a number of consumer software CEOs.
当我跟他们聚会或者交流时,他们会说:伙计,当代理(AI Agents)接管一切的时候,我们该怎么继续做我们现在做的事情呢?
Like, when I hang out with them or whatever, they're like, yo. How are we gonna how are we gonna keep doing what we do when the agents take over?
是的。这种范式转变非常深刻,以至于你访问网页的概念将会消失,而你只是在进行一个对话?拥有一个
Yeah. The paradigm shift is so profound that the idea that you would visit a web page goes away and you're just in a chat dialogue? Have an
代理帮你处理你的航班事宜。
agent who's just taking care of your flights for you.
所以
So
我 我有点 我认为中间有一个跳跃。我觉得就像你告诉某个东西,嘿,我想去纽约。你能帮我找找吗?我大概看一下这个时间段,你能找到一些我可能会喜欢的东西,然后给我几个选项?好的。
I I kinda I I think there's a leapfrog over that. I think it's just like you tell something, yo, I wanna go to New York. Can you you know, I'm sort of looking at this time range. Can you just go find something I'm probably gonna like and give me a couple options? Yeah.
这完全是一个界面的问题,然后,你知道吗,在Perplexity上你刚刚展示的那个东西就是最终的界面吗?还是说我只需要一个代理,它能替我去完成所有的事情?这是开始吗?说实话,我还没有花足够的时间去了解。我知道的是,每一个在App Store里有应用的消费软件公司的CEO现在都慌了神,他们现在都很焦虑。
And it's just a whole you have an interface, and then, you know, is per is this thing that you just showed on Perplexity, is that the interface, or do I just have an agent that just goes and does everything for me? And is this the start of that? You know, I just haven't spent enough time. I I do know that every consumer software CEO that has an app in the App Store is tripping. They're tripping right now.
我需要大公司。我需要那些真正有实力的人。有时候我几乎像是在跟他们做心理治疗。我会说,没事的,其实你们真的有东西。
And I need big boys. I need guys with real stuff. And sometimes I I'm doing, like, almost like therapy sessions with them. I'm like, it's gonna be fine. Actually you actually have stuff.
你们有护城河。你们有真正有价值的东西。代理无法取代这些。但他们
You have a moat. You have real stuff that's of value. They can't replace it with an agent. And they're
就像是在欺骗他们。你像临终关怀那样安慰他们,告诉他们一切都会好起来的,但病人却因为你说的同样的话停止了呼吸
like lying to them. You're doing hospice care, and you're telling them everything's gonna be okay, but the patient stops because you got all same
在Robin Hood上有各种选项,他却说,是的,是的。告诉我更多吧。
options on Robin Hood while he's like, yeah. Yeah. Tell me more.
告诉我更多。
Tell me more.
他很聪明,伙计们。所有这些事情。有些东西是受保护的,有些则不是。就是这么简单。那
He's smart, guys. All these things. There's certain things that are protected, there's certain not things that aren't. That's all. What about
我们来谈谈这个吧?因为你我年纪都足够大,记得当年的General Magic(通用魔术公司)。很久以前就出现了这种愿景,当时有个人数字助理,你可以直接跟一个代理交谈,它会替你完成这些任务。这感觉就像是朝着那个方向迈出了一步,它为你完成所有工作,最后只呈现结果给你,并说请确认。
let's talk about that? Because the you and I are old enough to remember general magic. This vision was out there a long time ago with personal digital assistance, and you would just talk to an agent. It would go do this for you. This feels like a step to that where it does all the work for you, presents you the final moment, and says approve.
所以几乎就像你是管家或男仆一样。
So almost like you're concierge or a butler.
是的。我认为你描述的是我们想要的东西。但更具体地说,对于现在的情况,Keith 和 Travis 的观点完全正确。听着,我认为开发一款浏览器绝对是一个愚蠢的资本分配决策。在2025年,这完全是愚蠢且无法辩解的。
Yeah. I think what you're describing is what we want. But I think more specifically for today, Keith and Travis totally nail it. Look, I think building a browser is an absolutely stupid capital allocation decision. Just totally stupid and unjustifiable in 2025.
特别是对 Perplexity 来说,我认为他们打造一家伟大企业的路径是取代彭博社(Bloomberg)。他们在金融信息和金融数据方面所做的一切,以及超越模型的尝试都非常出色。作为一个多年来为彭博终端支付了25,000美元的人,这个终端简直糟糕透顶,非常差劲,没什么用,而且功能非常有限。任何能够打造出更好产品的人,都能接管这家价值千亿美元的企业,因为我觉得机会就在那里。我希望Perplexity能加倍甚至三倍投入这一领域。因此当你看到这种
Specifically for Perplexity, I think their path to building a legacy business is to replace Bloomberg. Everything that they've done in financial information and financial data in going beyond the model has been excellent. As somebody who's paid $25,000 to Bloomberg for many years, the terminal is atrocious, it's terrible, it's not very good, it's very limited And anybody that could build a better product would take over a $100,000,000,000 enterprise because I think it's there for the taking. I wish that perplexity would double and triple down on that. And so when you see this kind of
让我们随意扩展一下吧,Jamath。我们就去干吧。
Let's random sprawl do it, Jamath. Let's just go do it.
当你随意扩展时,你会发现这种方法行不通。但我只想说,在2025年开发一个浏览器是最愚蠢的事情,因为在代理的世界里,浏览器是什么?它只是一个华丽的标记语言阅读器。它处理HTML、CSS和JavaScript。
When you do the random sprawl, think it doesn't work. But I just wanna say, like, a browser is, like, the dumbest thing to build in 2025 because in a world of agents, what is a browser? It's a glorified markup reader. It's like handling HTML. It's handling CSS and JavaScript.
它进行一些网络连接,一些安全处理,一些渲染。但这都是底层的技术细节。我明白在1998年的时候我们必须处理那些乱七八糟的东西,比如第一次尝试Lycos或者谷歌。
It's doing some networking. It's doing some security. It's doing some rendering. But it's like, this is all under the water type stuff. I get it that we had to deal with all that nonsense in 1998 to try Lycos or Google for the first time.
但在2025年的今天,你应该可以直接跟某个东西对话,最终,可能还会有一个植入你大脑的东西,你只需思考,它就能理解。你一想到我需要预订飞往JFK的航班,它就知道该怎么做。或者至少今天来说,在一个非常优雅美观的搜索栏中,你输入“帮我订个航班”,它就已经知道该怎么做了。
But in 02/2025, there is something that you just speak to, and eventually, there's probably something that's in your brain which you just think, and it just doesn't. You're thinking, I need a flight to JFK. Or at the maximum today, in a very elegant, beautiful search bar, you type in get me a flight, and it already knows what to do.
Keith,从某种意义上讲,这是迈向终极愿景的一个步骤。所以你会认为,如果从这个角度看,也许Perplexity开发这款产品是值得的,把它当作通向终极愿景的一个中间节点,而终极愿景就是命令行加耳机。一个热
Keith, in some ways, this is a step towards that ultimate vision. So you'd think it's worth it to, you know, sort of perplexity to make this waypoint perhaps if you look at it as a waypoint between the ultimate vision, which is a command line, an earpiece. A hot
分发、Pot Jason,2025年第十九个网络浏览器?
distribution, pot Jason, for the nineteenth web browser in 2025?
嗯,是的,这确实是个挑战。我认为大多数人猜测苹果公司(拥有大量用户)可能会收购Perplexity或与之达成交易,从而获得分发渠道,特别是因为司法部对谷歌的反垄断案件。所以关于这一点有很多猜测。但Keith,你怎么看?
Well, yeah, that is a challenge, and I think most people are speculating Apple, which has a lot of users, might buy perplexity or do a deal with perplexity and give them that distribution because of the justice department case against Google. So there's been a lot of speculation about that. But, Keith, what do you think?
我不认为他们会买任何真正有价值的东西。比如,你想要苹果得到什么?如果你继续这种失败的战略的话……
I don't think they'd buy anything worth it. Like, what do you what is Apple gonna get? And if you continue this failed strategy of
没错,苹果就是这样。
Apple Right.
苹果在人工智能方面错过了每一个可能的机会,并且还在继续错过。我认为他们在文化上存在问题,CEO可能存在挑战,基础设施也存在挑战。因此这不是一个容易解决的问题,而收购Perplexity并不能帮上忙。实际上,Travath针对复杂性/Perplexity的战略其实相当合理。
Apple has missed every possible window on AI and continues to miss it. And it has cultural I think the CEO has challenges. I think culturally, they have challenges, and they have infrastructure challenges. So it's it's not an easy fix, but buying perplexity is not gonna help. Like, Travath strategy is actually a pretty coherent one for complexity, quap perplexity.
所以我认为不会
So I think that not

不,不是
Not not
不是一个坏主意,尤其是因为你需要独特的数据来源。其中一些数据源可能愿意也可能不愿意将数据授权给OpenAI。所以在那你可以做一些聪明的事情。但我并不认为苹果从Perplexity身上能获得任何剩余价值,除了某些产品品味之外。但你会为什么买单?比如花十亿美元去买产品品味吗?
not a bad idea, especially because you need unique data sources. Some of those data sources may or may not license their data to OpenAI. So you can do some clever things there, but I don't think there's any residual value that Apple would get out of perplexity except there's some product taste. But what are you gonna spend? Like, a billion dollars for product taste?
我的意思是,Mark现在动辄花费数亿甚至数千亿美元来做事情。而且你看Grock,Grock四代表明了,Mark真的只是需要砸钱来组建一支全新的团队,因为他们迄今为止在AI领域所做的一切都错过了时机。
I mean, Mark's spending hundreds of millions of dollar hundreds of billions of dollars or whatever he's spending these days. And, you know, Grock, if anything, Grock four shows that Mark really just need to spend money to build a whole new team because everything they've done in AI has also missed the boat.
但是,我的意思是,基思,那个
But, I mean, Keith, the
你那样表达的方式几乎让苹果值得孤注一掷,组建一支有点品味的团队,因为他们的做事风格一向如此,就是追求优雅。那为什么不再为此投入搜索资源呢?投个100亿进去
way you phrase it there almost makes it worth it for Apple to throw a Hail Mary, have a team with some taste because that's how they tend to do things is something that is elegant. And why not just throw your search to it? Throw 10,000,000,000 at
真正优雅的是,如果有一系列操作功能。代理功能就在一个聊天框里。看到一堆视觉垃圾并不优雅,那是偷懒的做法。

TK, listen. We were trying to do a screen of companies, and it maxes out at five companies on a specific type of screen where you're, like, you're trying to compare stock price to EBITDA, and you're like, okay. I can only choose five, I guess. So which five should I choose?
Laffont前两集不是提过吗?他说我打不开这个页面,最多只能显示六家公司。
Laffont was on, right, like two episodes ago? He was like, I can't pull this up. It's limited to six companies.
伙计,人们用布隆伯格终端是为什么?他们是为了它的通讯功能。我的团队曾经通过布隆伯格发短信交易了巨额头寸,所以这方面确实很有价值。但这家公司的核心可用性和核心用户界面一直没有改进。

伙计们,Jason Jason 是 GoDaddy 的爹。好啦,我就是。
Guys, Jason Jason is Jason is the daddy in GoDaddy. Okay. I am.
我是你爹,我是你爹。
I'm your dad. I'm your dad.
事情就是这样。
That's what it is.
谁是你爹?嘿。说到爹,我们继续下一个故事吧。
Who's your daddy? Hey. Speaking of daddy, let's go to our next story.
哦,是
Oh, is
现在是成立第三党的合适时机吗?马斯克似乎这么认为。上周他宣布Axie将创建一个新的政党。这个故事里谁是爹,你们自己决定吧。他说过:“在用浪费和腐败使我们的国家破产这方面,我们生活在一党制的国家,而不是民主国家。”
now the right time for a third party? Elon seems to think so. Last week, he announced that Axie would be creating a a new political party. I'll let you decide who daddy is in this one. He said, quote, when it comes to bankrupting our country with waste and graft, we live in a one party system, not a democracy.
他尚未详细说明美国党的政治纲领。我们上周在这里讨论过。我列出了四项核心价值观,在X(原推特)上反响不错:财政责任/狗狗币、可持续能源、在这方面的主导地位以及在美国的制造业,这是马斯克单枪匹马推动发展的领域。
He's not yet outlined a a platform for the American party. We talked about it here last week. I listed four core values, which seem to get a good reaction on x. Fiscal responsibility slash doge, sustainable energy, and dominance in that. Manufacturing in The US, which Elon has done single handedly here.
还有亲生育政策,我认为这是他的一个情怀项目。另外,沙巴特,你补充了第五点:根据Polymarket的数据,技术卓越有55%的可能性在今年年底之前注册成立美国党。我还想弄清楚的一件事是这些候选人和政党的人气到底有多低。这是一张非常有趣的图表,我觉得我们可以围绕它展开一场精彩的讨论。
Pronatalism, which I think is a passion project for him. And, Shabbat, you punched it out with the fifth technological excellence according to Polymarket. 55% chance that Elon registers the American party by the end of the year. And, you know, one thing I was trying to figure out is just how unpopular are these candidates and these political parties. This is a very interesting chart that I think we can have a a great conversation around.
事实证明,我们曾经非常喜爱我们的总统。看看这里从肯尼迪最高83%的支持率开始,最低也有56%。那是他的最低支持率。所以他的支持率一直维持在很高的区间。再看下09/11事件后的小布什二世。
It turns out we used to love our presidents. If you look here from Kennedy at 83%, his highest approval rating, His lowest was 56%. That was his lowest approval rating. So he operated in a very high band. Look at Bush two during after 09/11.
他的峰值是92%,最低时只有19%。对,战时总统。但接下来是特朗普一届、拜登以及特朗普第二届,历史上罕见的低高支持率。
92% was his peak. His lowest was 19. Right? Wartime president. But then you get to Trump one, Biden, and Trump two, historically low high approval.
他们的最高水位线,特朗普第一次是49,拜登是六十三,其中一次,然后特朗普第二次是47,最低的时候是二十九三十一大约四十。所以也许现在是时候出现第三方候选人了。我们来讨论一下吧,伙计们。
Their high watermark, 49 for Trump one, sixty three for Biden, one of one, and then 47 for Trump two, and their lowest twenty nine thirty one forty. So maybe it is time for a third party candidate. Let's discuss it, boys.
我不知道该怎么看这张图表。零 这个

这是最差的。

我心想,这里发生了什么?
I'm like, what is happening here?
这是格式最糟糕的图表。这是一个令人困惑的图表,不过,我之所以把它放出来是为了引发讨论。所以你应该说谢谢
This is the worst formatted chart. This is a confusing chart, but, well, the reason I'm putting it up is for debate. So you should be saying thank

再来看另一个。盖洛普民意调查显示,2023年美国人希望出现一个可行的第三党派的比例为63%。因此,这个比例正处于历史最高水平附近波动。
Here's another one. Gallup poll Americans desire for a viable third party 63 in 2023. So it's it's bumping along an all time high.
好的。我正非常专注地看这个。

我们在这里停下来吧,这是一个很好的结束点。
Let's stop here. This is a good this is a good place to stop.
我刚刚帮你把想法说出来了。
I just blew the thought for you.
是的,比如几点。没错,埃隆创建第三党的想法对于其他任何人来说都是绝对荒谬和可笑的。马斯克显然做过不可思议的事情,所以对他所接触的一切都嗤之以鼻是个坏主意。
Yeah. Like, a couple points. Yes. The idea of Elon creating a third party is for any other human being, like, absolutely absurd and ridiculous. Elon has obviously done incredible things, so dismissing anything he's touching is a bad idea.
不过,我认为最好的比喻是我见过的,这有点像迈克尔·乔丹尝试打棒球。他成为了一个替补级别的棒球运动员,顺便说一句,这其实很难做到。马斯克可能是一个替补级别的政治家。他在创业方面就像乔丹一样,但第三党派的想法行不通。首先,那个图表具有误导性。
However, I think the best metaphor I've seen is it's a little bit like Michael Jordan tried to play baseball. He became a replacement level baseball player, which actually really hard to do, by the way. Elon is probably a replacement level politician. He's Michael Jordan for entrepreneurial stuff, but the third party stuff is not going to work. First of all, there that chart is misleading.
这是平均值的缺陷。它设计得很糟糕,而且属于平均值的缺陷。很好。特朗普在共和党人中非常受欢迎。实际上,他是有记录以来获得最高支持率的共和党人。
It's a flaw of average. It was badly designed, and it's a flaw of average. Great. Trump is incredibly popular among Republicans. He actually has the highest approval rate of any Republican ever measured in recorded history.
他的支持率高达95%。里根最高达到过93%。只是民主党人不喜欢他,这完全可以理解。具有争议性是成功的一个要素,包括在这个节目上的人也是如此。比如,要在世界上有所成就,你并不真正在意另一半人怎么想。
It's 95%. Reagan was peaked out at 93%. It's just Democrats don't like them, which is perfectly fine. Being polarizing is is an ingredient to being successful, including with people on the show. Like, the point of accomplishing things in the world is you don't really care what half the world thinks.
你需要确保有很多人喜欢你,真正认可并热衷于你所做的事情。特朗普在他党内的人气几乎是有史以来最高的,从来没有例外。其次,MAGA已经改变了共和党。特朗普有点像是第三势力对共和党的接管。这种情况实际上已经发生了,也许每二三十年你可以这样做一次。
You need to make sure that there's a lot of people who like you and really approve and are enthusiastic about what you do, and Trump is about as popular with his party as anybody's ever been ever, period. No exceptions. Secondly, there's MAGA has kind of already changed the Republican Party. Trump is sort of like a third party takeover of the Republican Party. And so it's kind of already happened, and maybe you can do this every twenty years or thirty years.
由于很多原因,我不认为你可以在一个太短的时间内对一个政党进行如此彻底的改造。第三点是聪明的政党会吸收政治科学中的经验教训。不幸的是,我学过政治科学,可以说浪费了我的大学时光。如果当时我去学习编程或者物理,像特拉维斯那样就好了。
I don't think you can have, like, this kind of transformation on one party within a too compressed period of time for a lot of reasons. Third is really smart parties absorb the lesson of political science. Unfortunately, I studied political science. I wasted kind of my college years. And instead of saying, see us and, you know, maybe then I'd be coding stuff and doing physics like Travis.
但我学到的一件事是,聪明的政党会吸收第三党的最佳理念。因此通常没有空间留给第三党,因为主流政党通过类似达尔文式的演化过程,一旦某个理念获得支持,就很容易将这些理念收编,从而削弱第三党的势头。自1970年以来,还没有真正的第三党候选人赢得过参议院席位。那一次实际上是威廉·巴克利的兄弟,所以他有一定的知名度。另外,我认为埃隆以及支持他做法的人忽略了一点:人们投票不仅仅是因为理念。
But one thing I did learn is smart parties absorb the best ideas of third parties. So the oxygen is usually not there because they're a Darwinistic evolution of if get traction on an idea, it's really easy to constrict some of those ideas and take away the momentum. No third party candidate that's a true, like, third party has won a senate seat since 1970. And that's actually Bill Buckley's brother, and so he has some name I need. The other thing Elon, I think, is missing and the proponents of what he's doing is people vote not just for ideas.
他们投票是为了具体的人。这是一种结合,产品就是你相信什么以及你是谁。这两者无法分割。特朗普是一个有个性的人物,这激发了很多人热情的支持。
They vote for people. It's a combination. The product is what do you what do you believe and who are you? And you can't divorce the two. Trump is a person, and that generates a lot of enthusiasm.
这也是为什么他在中期选举中面临挑战的原因之一,因为他不在选票上。他的理念可能在选票上,但他本人并不直接参选。所以除非埃隆能成为政党的代表人物,而从宪法角度来说他根本不可能做到这一点。你需要一个具体的面孔、一个真实的人,比如奥巴马、克林顿,或者像里根这样能够引起共鸣的人物。
And it's one of the reasons why he has challenges in midterms because he's not on the ballot. His ideas may be on the ballot, but he is not specifically on the ballot. So unless because Elon can't be the figurehead of the party, he literally can't constitutionally. There you need a face that's a person, Obama, Clinton. Like, there's reasons why people resonate Reagan.
如果没有这种人格魅力,单靠某些具体的理念是无法动员美国民众的。
Without that personality, specific ideas just are not gonna galvanize the American people.
好的,对此的反驳以及人们相信他会尝试的做法是赢下几个众议院席位,特拉维斯。也许再赢下一两场参议员选举。如果你能做到这一点,那些事情其实花销不大,一场众议院竞选大概只需要几百万美元,参议院可能需要两千五百万左右。
Okay. So the counter to that and what people believe he's gonna try to do is win a couple of seats in the house, Travis. Win maybe one or two senate seats. If you were to do that, those things are pretty affordable to back couple of million dollars for a house race. Senate, maybe 25,000,000.
如果埃隆每两年投入两亿五千万美元,就像上次他投入了两亿八千万美元那样,他可以制造出类似乔·曼钦那样的影响力,并逐步建立一个团体和平台,类似于格罗弗·诺奎斯特的承诺誓言。你觉得怎么样?如果他不打算打造一个可行的第三党总统候选人,那么他是否可以像你说的那样,拿下一些参议院席位和国会席位呢?
If Elon puts, I don't know, 250,000,000 to work every two years, which he, I think, put 280,000,000 to work on the last one, he could kinda create the Joe Manchin moment, and he could build a caucus, a platform, Grover Norquist kinda pledge along these lines. So what do you think of that? If he's not gonna create a viable third party presidential candidate, could he, Travis, pick off a couple of senate seats, pick off a a couple of congressional seats?
好的,首先我现在要提出一个我自己刚刚想到的公理。
Okay. So first, I have this axiom that I'm making up right now.
好的。
Okay.
好吗?这被称为马斯克几乎总是对的。好。好吗?没错。
Okay? It's called Elon is almost always right. Okay. Okay? Right.
马斯克在所有事情上都是对的。
Elon is right about everything.
好,说真的,让我们现实一点。坦率地说,他担心和激动的事情,尤其是当你看看赤字时,伙计,我完全支持他的观点。第一部分。第二部分。
Okay. Seriously, let's just be real. And, like, honestly, the things he's upset about and that he's riled up about, especially when you look at the deficit, like, man, I am right on board that train. Part one. Part two.
我们以前从未有过这样拥有如此资本的人,可以在体制之外扮演所谓的党魁角色。对吧?有很多人认同他说的话,他知道如何吸引你,你知道,马斯克自己确实有一种民粹主义风格。他做自己的事,把X(原推特)变成了现在的样子,他是X的重要组成部分。所以我认为这很棒。
We've never had somebody with this kind of capital that can be a, quote, unquote, party boss outside of the system. Right? And there's a lot of people that agree with the types of things he's saying, and he knows how to draw you you know, he Elon in his own right kinda has a populist vibe. Like, he does his thing, and he's turned x into what it is, and he's he's a big part of x. And so I think it's the I think it's great.
而且说实话,在参议院和众议院中,你可以通过少数几个人来推动一些行动,并成为杠杆,以实现你想做的事情。这是第一部分。然后第二部分是,这种威胁即使没有完全发生,也能促成一些好事。我非常喜欢它。我完全支持这个做法。
And, honestly, there's there's the moves you can make on senate and house and just having a few folks and then being you being levers then to get the things you want done. That's part one. And then part two of that is the threat of that happening can make good things happen separately even if it doesn't go all the way. I just love it. I'm on I'm on the email train.
是的,比起选择一个政党,我更喜欢马斯克现在扮演的角色,因为他选择了我认为能引起人们共鸣的特定平台,那就是平衡预算。不要让我们陷入这么多债务,让我们发展可持续能源。工作完成了。在美国创造好的就业机会。
Yeah. I'm I'm I'm in love with this role for Elon more than picking a party because he's picking a very specific platform that I think resonates with folks, which is just balance the budget. Don't put us in so much debt, and let's have some sustainable energy. You know, job done. Great jobs in America.
问题是,他对造成赤字或债务的原因实际上错了。不是因为我们税收不足,而是我们的支出过多。如果我们只是不这样做。
The problem with that is, like, he's actually wrong about the reason why we have a deficit or debt. It's not because we're under taxed. It's we're massively overspending. If we just No.
我认为他认为我们在支出方面过多。
I think he believes we're overspending.
但他们本应支持上一次美好的法案。如果你将联邦支出保持在2019年的水平,而2019年并不是几十年前,就在此刻,以我们目前的税收收入,我们本可以实现盈余。
But they they should have been supporting the last, you know, beautiful bill. Because if you just held federal spending to 2,019 levels so 2019 is not, like Yeah. You know, decades ago. Literally, with our current tax revenues, we would be in a surplus.
500,000,000,000。
500,000,000,000.
是的。因此,我们所需要做的就是削减开支。现在我承认存在
Yeah. So there all we need to do is cut spending. Now I admit that there's
为什么在那个庞大而美好的法案中没有发生这种情况?
Why didn't that happen with the big, beautiful bill?
所以这里细节确实很重要。我认为两党都存在意愿和纪律问题,也许他可以帮助解决这些问题。第二件事是我们有这些古老的规定,尤其是在参议院,很多时候你需要60票才能削减支出,除非通过非常取巧的方法。这是一个现实。所以老实说,你能做的最好的事情就是帮助共和党获得60票,然后理论上,如果你们不将支出削减到2019年的水平,他会非常愤怒,但这非常棘手,或者你可以直接推翻这些规定。
So this is where details do matter. I think there is a willingness and a, you know, discipline problem on both parties, and I think maybe he can help fix that. The second thing is that we have these arcane rules, particularly in the senate, and you need 60 votes in many ways to cut things except through very hacky methods. And that's a reality. So the best thing truthfully you could do is help get a Republican party to 60 votes, and then and then in theory, he could be absolutely furious if you didn't cut back to 2,019 levels, but it it's very tricky, or you can just overrule.
比如,这种冗长辩论制度只是历史遗留产物。在某个时刻,某位多数党领袖会直接宣布我们不再使用冗长辩论,并以50或51票强行推进所有削减措施,这是可以做到的。宪法并没有赋予冗长辩论的权利。它只是几个世纪美国历史的产物,总有一天会消失。也许现在就是时候了。
Like, this the filibuster is an artifact of history. And at some point, some majority leader is just gonna say we're done with the filibuster and just steamroll through all the cuts at 50 or 51 votes, which you can do. There's no constitutional right to a filibuster. It is an artifact of centuries of American history, and at some point, it's gonna go away. So maybe the time is now.
也许我们现在就应该解决所有问题。
Maybe we should just fix everything now.
我认为你说得完全正确。我认为冗长辩论制度只是时间问题。我认为它已经时日无多了。在一个它已所剩无几的世界里,杰森,我认为你的路径可能是给美国党(如果该党真的成立)带来最大杠杆作用的路径,即如果你能控制三到五个独立候选人,你就能获得巨大的影响力。我只是想退一步,指出一个观点。
I think you're exactly right. I think that the filibuster it's just a matter of time. I think it's on borrowed time. And I think in a world where it is on borrowed time, Jason, I think your path is probably the one that gives the American party, if it does come into existence, the most leverage, which is if you control three to five independent candidates, you gain substantial leverage. I just wanna take a step back and just note something.
我不知道你们是否知道这件事,但我们现在之所以进行这场讨论,或者这一切之所以成为可能,唯一原因是在2023年,联邦选举委员会(FEC)发布了新的指导方针并修改了许多规则。当时做出的重大改变是允许超级政治行动委员会做比投放广告更多的事情。在此之前,如果你是一个超级政治行动委员会,你基本上只能投放电视、广播,我想也包括网络广告。但从2023年开始,他们被允许资助地面行动,例如敲门拉票、电话拉票、动员投票等事务。
I don't know if you guys know this, but the only reason we're even having this conversation or this is even possible is because in 2023, the FEC, Federal Elections Commission, they actually released guidance and they changed a bunch of rules. And the big change that they made then was it allowed super PACs to do a lot more than just run ads. Up until that point, all you could do if you were a super PAC is just basically run advertising, television and radio, I guess online as well. But what they were allowed to do starting in '23 was they were allowed to fund ground operations. They were allowed to do things like door knocking, phone banking, you know, get out the vote.
换句话说,发生的事情是超级政治行动委员会变得更像一个完整的竞选机器,而特朗普展示了利用超级政治行动委员会特别是他自己的超级政治行动委员会赢得总统大选的蓝图。他能够资助一场大规模的地面战役,在摇摆州建立了基础设施,显然非常有效。现在其他人也可以使用这个策略了。
So in other words, what happened was a super PAC became more like a full campaign machine, and Trump showed the blueprint of using a super PAC, specifically his, to win the presidential election. So he was able to fund this massive ground game. He built infrastructure across the swing states. He was obviously incredibly effective. And now that playbook can actually be used by other folks.
因此,就埃隆决定利用这些修改后的FEC规则而言,杰森,我认为正如你所说,这是唯一的路径。但我只是想深入探讨一下基思的观点,因为它非常重要。我的确认为冗长辩论制度终将消失,这是因为这些规则的陈旧性,需要通过调和法案来处理,而在其他情况下又需要绝对多数票甚至否决权所需的超级多数票,这只会意味着什么都无法完成,我认为最终总会有人失去耐心并直接强行推进。
And so to the extent that Elon decides to use those changed FEC rules, Jason, I think what you said is the only path. But but I just I just wanted to double click on Keith's point because it's so important. I do think the filibuster is gonna go away, and it is because the the arcane ness of these rules having to do a reconciliation bill then, you know, needing a super majority, a veto proof super majority in in the other case, it just means that nothing gets done, and I think somebody will eventually get impatient and just steamroll this thing.
在过去的两个选举周期中,从未有过如此多的人表示他们在政治上感到无所归属,其中包括许多参加本播客的人以及我们朋友圈子里的人。我认为,埃隆可以创建一个平台让人们选择加入和支持的想法本身,就会促使另外两大政党认真改进自己。顺便说一句,另一件需要的是稍微加点压力和激励。
We've never had so many people say they feel politically homeless as we did the last two cycles, and that includes many people on this podcast, people in our friend circle. And I think just the idea that Elon could create a platform that people could opt into and support, just the existence of that would make the other two parties get their act together. By the way, the other thing need is a little bit of a stick there and a carrot.
是的。
Yeah.
嘿。如果你不控制开支,还有这第三个选择。如果Travis和我参与其中,Keith,我知道你永远不会离开共和党,但Shammoth,你现在可能已经决定好自己的立场了。但我可以告诉你,我们去找前十名或二十名好友名单里的人,其中50%会加入Nuance党。
Hey. If you don't control spending, there's this third option. And if Travis and I are in it and, Keith, I know you'll never leave the Republican Party, but, Shammoth, you know, you're probably set where you're where you wanna be right now. But I can tell you, we go to our top ten, twenty friend list. Out of those, 50% will join Nuance party
第一天就会加入。Jason,Keith说的另一件事我也觉得非常重要,就是如果他要推举候选人,这些人必须超越政治和政策层面。他们需要是非常直率的老板型人物,拥有极高知名度,这样选民实际上是在选一个名字而不是某个议程。类似于施瓦辛格竞选时的情形。他在戴维斯罢免选举中凭借巨大的知名度参选。
day one. The other the other thing, Jason, that that Keith said, which I think is is really important is if he were to run people, I think they have to transcend politics and policy. And I think they need to be straight up bosses, people that have enormous name recognition so that effectively what you're voting is a name and not an agenda. Equivalent to, I think, what happened to Schwarzenegger when he ran. He ran on an enormous amount of name recognition in the great Davis recall.
他并不是靠政纲竞选的。我不
He didn't run on the platform. I don't
认为任何人应该提及。JD Vance写了一本很棒的书,《俘获人们的想象力》。他是一位出色的演讲者,虽然根据所在国家不同,他会激怒三分之一或三分之二的人,但你无法忽视他。我认为埃隆可以很容易地找到10个类似JD Vance的人物并支持他们。
think anybody should mention. JD Vance had this great book, Capture People's Imagination. He's an incredible speaker. He pisses off a third or two thirds of the country depending on where you are in the country, but you can't ignore him. I think Elon can find 10 JD Vance type characters and back them fairly easily.
他是吸引人才的磁石。人们会排队等候。我已经接到一些知名人士的联系,他们说:'我考虑参选,你能把我介绍给埃隆吗?'
He is a magnet for talent. People will line up. I have been contacted by high profile people already and say, I'm thinking of running. Can you put me in touch with Elon?
是非常有名的人士。更像是演员和体育明星,他们本身就自带传播力。比如,你几乎得有X数量的粉丝、Instagram关注者,并且能发起号召,说好了,这些就是我们要找的人。明白我的意思吗?我觉得就像……
Very high profile people. More like actors and sports stars, meaning where they just come with their own inbuilt distribute like, think you almost have to to rank x followers and Instagram followers and do a join and say, okay. These are do you know what I mean? Like, I think it's, like,
完全不一样。为什么这么问呢。伙计们,这很痛苦。我们不要再让更多的名人成为政治家了。我们应该找那些领导过大型项目、重大倡议、复杂事务的人。
totally different. Why asked this. Guys, it's painful. Like, let's not get more celebrities as politicians. Like, let's get, like, people who've led large large efforts, large initiatives, complex things.
你知道吗?理想情况下是这样,但他们仍然必须具备沟通能力。对吧,Keith?他们必须能够在播客上交流,这是新的平台。
You know? Ideally, but they still have to communicate. Right, Keith? They have to be able to communicate on a podcast. That's the new platform.
如果他们不能花两小时到三小时在这类播客或者乔·罗根的节目上深入讨论,那么像卡马拉就无法竞争,因为她无法在两个小时的思想交锋中坚持下来。如果你做不到这一点,在当今的政治舞台上你就出局了。
If they can't spend two hours, three hours chopping it up on a podcast like this or Joe Rogan, you know, that's Kamala's the reason she couldn't even contend was because she couldn't hang for two hours in an intellectual discussion. If you can't hang, you're out in today's political arena.
是的,就是这样。
Yeah. That's
那是对的。
that's true.
看他是否能将自己的算法从人才领域——这很宏大,调整到政治领域,因为受众略有不同。但如果你能调整好算法和质量,那可能会成功。我认为你可能赢得几场众议院选举,我认为这是可行的。但我不认为你能赢得参议院选举。
Interesting to see if he can tune his algorithm for talent, which is epic, to tune for politics because it's a slightly different audience. But if you can tune the algorithm and quality, that might work. I think you can win a few house races. I think that's doable. I don't think you can win a senate race.
喏,这就是了,埃隆。基思认为你赢不了参议院选举,但他觉得你能赢几场国会选举。感谢你给他的动力,基思。我很感激
Well, there it is, Elon. Keith doesn't think you can win a senate race, but he thinks you win a couple of congressional ones. Thanks for giving him the motivation, Keith. I appreciate
我相信他会赢回来的。
I'm sure he's gonna win back.
你做过的最大错误决定。他也不会赢。现在共和党内部的人正在说,哦不,别去招惹老虎。听好了。
Biggest mistake you've ever made. He's not gonna win too. People in the Republican Party right now are going, oh, no. Don't poke the tiger. Listen.
说到这个,特朗普就是这样进入政界的,所以我不想在这里当奥巴马。
Speaking That's how Trump got into politics, so I don't wanna be Obama here.
你根本不会打扰我。埃隆,没错。是的,祝贺你。
You just don't bother me. Elon. Right. Yeah. Congratulations.
好了,听我说。最高法院在此案中做出了重大决定,这是一个非常重要的决定。他们支持特朗普关于联邦雇员缩减计划的提案,那些不了解情况的人应该知道这一点。
Alright. Listen. SCOTUS made a big decision here. This is a really important decision. They've sided with Trump for plans for federal workforce rifts, reductions in workforce for those of you who don't know.
如你所知,埃隆,特朗普曾想将300万名联邦雇员进行裁员。我们这里说的是联邦雇员。不是军人,也不是州和市的雇员。那还有数千万额外的人。如果你还记得的话,特朗普在我们上任后二月签署了这项行政命令,执行总统的狗狗员工优化计划。
As you know, Elon, Trump, they wanted to, you know, downsize to 3,000,000 people who are federal employees. This is just federal employees we're talking about. We're not talking about military, and we're not talking about state and city. That's tens of millions of additional people. If you remember, Trump issued this executive order back in February when we got in office implementing the president's doge workforce optimization initiative.
他要求所有联邦机构,嘿,根据适用法律为其部门准备一份裁员计划,这也是该行政命令的一部分。好的。4月,美国政府雇员工会(AFGE)起诉特朗普政府,称总统在大规模劳动力调整问题上必须与国会协商。这是一个关键的争论点,因为国会拥有拨款权。
And he asked all the federal agencies, hey. Just prepare a RIF for their departments consistent with applicable laws, was part of this EO. Okay. In April, the American Federation of Government Employees, AFGE, sued the Trump administration saying the president must consult congress on large scale workforce changes. This is a key debate because the congress, as you know, has power of the purse.
他们设置资金,但总统和行政部门必须执行这些资金。这正是问题的关键所在。因此,他们指控特朗普违反了宪法规定的权力分立原则。AFGE拥有82万名会员。5月,一位位于旧金山的联邦法官站在工会一边,阻止了该行政命令的实施。
They set up the money, but the president and the executive branch, they have to execute on that. And that's what the key is here. So they accused Trump of violating the separation of powers under the constitution act. AFGE has 820,000 members. In May, a San Francisco based federal judge sided with the unions blocking the executive order.
这位由克林顿任命的法官表示,任何联邦雇员人数的减少都必须得到国会的授权。这是一个关键问题。白宫随后提交了紧急上诉,等等。九位最高法院大法官中的八位支持白宫,推翻了这一禁令。因此,很显然,白宫在行政命令的争论中很可能会胜诉。
The judge who was appointed by Clinton said any reduction in the federal workforce must be authorized by congress. This is a key issue. And the White House submitted an emergency appeal, yada yada. Eight of nine Supreme Court justices sided with the White House in overt urning this bloc. And so the reasoning, it's very likely the White House will win the argument of the executive order.
他们有权准备裁员计划。问题是,他们是否真的能够执行这一裁员计划,而谁拥有这一权力,Chamath?总统是否有权进行大规模裁员,还是他们必须首先咨询国会?你对这个问题的看法是什么。
They have the right to prepare a rift. The question is, can they actually execute on that rift, and who has that power, Chamath? Does the power reside with the president to make large scale or, you know, rifts, or do they have to consult congress first? Your thoughts on this issue.
这是一个非常重要的裁决,非常正确。我认为特朗普总统应该有绝对的自由决定权来决定向他汇报的人员如何行动和执行他们的工作。如果你退一步看,Jason,有超过2000个联邦机构。雇员加上承包商的人数接近300万人。如果你将300万人分配到2000个机构中,并且给他们非常落后和过时的技术,而遗憾的是,大多数政府机构都是这样运作的,你会得到什么?
It's an incredibly important ruling, incredibly right. I think president Trump should have absolute leeway to decide how the people that report to him act and do their job. If you take a step back, Jason, there are more than 2,000 federal agencies. Employees plus contractors, I think, number almost 3,000,000 people. If you put 3,000,000 people into 2,000 agencies and then you give them very poor and outdated technology, which unfortunately most of the government operates on, what are you gonna get?
你会得到非常缓慢的流程。你会遇到大量的检查和重复检查,最终你会得到大量的法规,因为他们试图做他们认为正确的工作。那么自1993年以来,我们看到了什么?法规已经失控。每几个月就会出现大约10万条新规则。
You're gonna get incredibly slow processes. You're going to get a lot of checking and double checking, and you're going to ultimately just get a lot of regulations because they're trying to do what they think is the right job. So since 1993, what have we seen? Regulations have gotten out of control. It's like 100,000 new rules per some number of months.
这简直太疯狂了。最终,我们都陷入了一个无限的规则网络中,我们甚至不知道自己违反了多少规则。所以如果美利坚合众国的CEO,特朗普总统,没有权力解雇人员,那么所有这些问题只会不断积累。因此,我认为刚刚发生的事情非常重要。它使我们现在能够重新设定政府应该有多大。
Like, it's just crazy. So eventually, we all succumb to an infinite number of rules that we all end up violating and not even know it. So if the CEO of The United States, president Trump, isn't allowed to fire people, then all of that stuff just compounds. So I think that this is a really important thing that just happened. It allows us to now level set how big should the government be.
但更重要的是,政府中的这些人也是下游支出的决策者,他们会制定新的规则。如果你能减缓这种增长,实际上你已经做了很多。在很多方面,我甚至希望埃隆能进来并创建Doge。你能想象如果Doge是在最高法院裁决后的第二天创建的吗?结果可能会完全不同,我认为,因为有了这一最高法院裁决在手,这些人可能就像热刀切黄油一样轻松。
But more importantly, the number of people in the government are also the ones that then direct downstream spend that make net new rules. And if you can slow the growth of that down, you're actually doing a lot. In many ways, I wish Elon had come in and created Doge now. Like, could you imagine if Doge was created the day after this Supreme Court ruling? It would have been a totally different outcome, I think, because with that Supreme Court ruling in hand, these guys probably would have been like a hot knife through butter.
Travis 所以我认为这是一件大事。
Travis So I I think it's a big deal.
但没有Doge,就不会有这个裁决。是Doge导致了这个裁决的产生。
Except that ruling doesn't happen without Doge. That Doge caused that ruling to occur.
对。嗯,行政命令确实是这样。你本来可以投赞成票。对,没错。
True. Well, the EO did. You could have passed Right. Right.
但这一切都是被触发的,不过完全是狗狗币风格。你知道我在说什么吧。
But it triggered all That was all Doge style, though. You you know what I'm saying.
它
It
如果他们没有解雇员工的话,是的,他们可能就不会觉得有必要像你说的那样,特拉维斯,去真正提交这个提案。但是,特拉维斯,如果你现在生活在人工智能提升效率的时代,公司的运营正在发生巨大变化。你能想象告诉某个人你可以当CEO,但不能更换人事吗?那才是工作职责所在。你可以当CEO,但就是不能换团队成员。
was If they if they wasn't firing people, yeah, they probably wouldn't felt the need, to your point, Travis, to actually file this. But, Travis, if you are living in the age of AI efficiency right now, operations of companies is changing dramatically. Can you imagine telling somebody you you can be CEO, but you can't change personnel? That's the job. You get to be CEO, but you just can't change the players on the team.
你可以买下尼克斯队,但你不能换教练或者球员。
You can buy the Knicks, but you can't change the coach or you can't the player.
你只是不能裁员。
You just can't shrink it.
是的。这就像一个工会,就像是在经营一家有工会的公司,实际上确实存在这样的大型工会化公司,在那些公司你根本无法做这些事情。
Yeah. It's like a union it's like running a unionized company, which actually does exist, our large unionized companies where you can't do any of these things.
对。它们还存在吗,还是已经都消失了?
Right. Do they do they still exist, or are they all gone?
我认为它们仍然迅速地存在着。是的。大概吧。我认为
I think they still quickly. Yeah. Probably. I think
这其实又回到了当一项法案出现时,国会实际授权了什么的问题。有些事情是明确规定的,而有些则不是。我不确定在很多这些法案中,并没有明确规定必须雇佣多少人。所以如果从普通人的角度来看这个问题,就是说,如果法律要求你必须雇佣X数量的人,那么就必须这么做;如果法律规定给你一笔钱花掉,规定了花钱的方式,但并没有具体说明必须雇佣多少人,那就是不同的情况。
this just gets back to what what is actually congress authorizing when a bill occurs. And there's certain things that are specific and certain things that aren't, and I don't I'm not sure that in a a lot of these bills, it's not very specific about exactly how many people must be hired. And so if it's I'm just doing the common man's sort of approach to this, which is like, if if the law says you have to hire x number of people, then that is what it is. If the law says you here's some money to spend. Here are the ways in which to spend it, but it's not specific about how many people you hire, then that is different.
是的。这应该是基于结果的。嘿,这是目标,这些是关键目标。
Yeah. It should be outcome based. Hey. Here's the goal. Here's the the key objectives.
对吧?
Right?
但特拉维斯说得完全正确。存在各种不同的法律,有些规定得非常具体,有些则非常宽泛。宪法明确表示所有的行政权力属于美国总统,没有例外。然而,国会确实有权拨款,水门事件之后,许多人认为国会有权迫使总统花钱,这一点可以争论。
But Travis Travis is totally right. Like, there are there's a variety of different laws, some with incredible specificity, some with very broad man age. The constitution clearly says that all executive power resides in the president of The United States, period. There's no exceptions there. However, congress does appropriate money, and post Watergate, many people think congress has the power to force the president to spend the money, and you can debate that.
你可以逐条法规进行辩论。这种辩论会更复杂一些,并且是否总统可以拒绝花国会明确指示他要花的钱(有时称为授权)这个问题将再次在法庭上展开讨论。这是一个非常有趣的理论辩论。这次的问题稍微简单一点,不过接下来还会变得更复杂。
And you can debate it on a per statute basis. And that will be more nuanced, and that's gonna get litigated whether the president can refuse to spend money that congress explicitly instructed him to spend, sometimes called empowerment. That's a very interesting intellectual debate. This one's a little bit easier. It'll get more complicated again.
比如,这项行政命令仅批准用于规划。我认为投票结果可能会更接近。我认为最高法院中仍有多数人支持实际执行,但在有特定计划需要再次通过法院审理时,可能不会出现8比1的结果。
Like, this EO is only approved to allow for the planning. I think the vote might be closer. I think there's still a majority on the Supreme Court for the actual implementation, but it may not be eight one when there's a specific plan that has to navigate its way through the courts again.
是啊,太有趣了。我在想他们是否会走到每项法案都必须规定你得雇佣一定数量的人来实现目标的地步。
Yeah. It's super fascinating. Yeah. I wonder if they're gonna get to the point where they're gonna say in every bill, you need to hire this number of people
以达成目标。
to hit goal.
我不确定他们能否做到这一点。这就接近违宪的边缘了。比如,实际上规定总统在履行其宪法职责时必须雇佣特定数量的人。
I don't know if they can. Like, that's where it gets borderline unconstitutional. Like, where you actually prescribe that the president in the exercise of his constitutional duties has to hire a certain number of people.
嗯。
Mhmm.
这感觉相当危险。
That feels pretty precarious.
嗯,我不太确定,基思。这就像他们开出了许多其他规定。比如,你必须为某个特定机构拨出专项资金来做特定的工作。
Well, I I I'm not sure, Keith. It's just like they prescribe a whole bunch of other things. Like, you must you must appropriate money for to this specific institution to do this specific work.
我的意思不是行政职能。比如,如果你说,像国务卿必须有X数量的雇员在做某件事。国务卿是你(总统)的个人代表,代表美国总统进行外交事务。当你把它延伸到总统应该……我是说,是的,国会的确决定了哪些职位需要参议院确认,以及他们的薪资和补偿限制是什么。
I mean not an executive function. Like, if you said, like, the secretary of state has to have x number of employees doing something. The secretary of state is your personal representative to conduct foreign affairs on behalf of the president of The United States. It gets a little bit more messy as you translate it to people that the president should I mean, yes. Congress does set, you know, which people are subject to senate confirmation and what their salaries and compensation bans are.
所以它永远不会完全二元化,即总统可以随心所欲地做任何事情,而且我认为宪法上也不允许国会对总统施加各种束缚和限制。
So it's it's never gonna be fully binary where the president can do whatever he wants, and it's never gonna I don't think it'll be constitutional for congress to mandate and put all kinds of handcuffs on the president.
那么,这里还涉及到绩效问题。如果你看看教育部,说成绩下降了?我们花了这笔钱,却没有得到预期的结果。因此,这些人是无能的。
Well, then you you also have performance that comes in here. What if you look at the Department of Education and say scores have gone down? We've spent this money. We're not getting the results. Therefore, these people are incompetent.
因此,我因正当理由解雇他们,并将聘请新的人选。你如何阻止行政部门这样做呢?
Therefore, I'm firing them for cause, and I'm going to hire new people. How are you gonna stop the executive from doing that?
一直以来有很多与此并行的诉讼,关于总统解雇人员的能力。在大多数情况下,最高法院基本上——可能美联储主席是个例外——表示总统几乎可以随意解雇任何人。
There's been a bunch of litigation, you know, in parallel to this litigation about the president's ability to fire people. And for the most part, the Supreme Court's basically, with maybe the exception of the Federal Reserve chair, said that the president can fire pretty much anybody he wants.
我的意思是,这种做法就是,就像我很讨厌用蟑螂打比方,但如果结果没有达到
I mean, that's the way to go is, like I mean, I hate to be cockroaches, but if the results aren't there
我认为如果他们是总统任命的人,总统就应该能够随意解雇你。就像在我们公司你是副总裁,首席执行官也应该能够随时解雇你一样。
I think if they're presidential yeah. If they're a presidential appointee, the president should be able to fire you at will. Just like if you were a VP at one of our companies, the CEO should be able to fire you at will.
但基思,如果是整个部门都很糟糕怎么办?嘿,你们负责早期教育。你们必须制定一个计划。结果计划失败了。
But what about, Keith, if the whole department sucks? Hey. You guys were responsible for early education. You had to put together a plan. The plan failed.
所有人都被解雇,我们重新开始。你应该被允许这么做。否则怎么能有一个高效的政府呢?
Everybody's fired. We're starting over. Like, you should be allowed to do that. How are gonna have an efficient government?
其中一些部门是由国会法令设立的,比如1979年成立的教育部。你说得对,在该部门成立之后,美国每一项教育指标都变得更糟了。但书面上有一条法律规定必须设立教育部,因此你可能需要先废除那条法律。
Some of these departments were created by congressional statute, like the Department of Education in 1979. And you're right. Every single educational stat has got worse in The United States since the department was created. But there is a law on the books that says there shall be a Department of Education, so you may have to repeal that.
好了, gentlemen,我们已经进行了一个半小时了。你们想讲FICO的故事吗?还是我们就此结束?Jema?我们还有很多节目内容。
Alright. Listen. We're at an hour and a half, gentlemen. Do you wanna do the FICO story, or should we just wrap, Jema? And we got plenty of show here.
这是一期非常精彩的节目。还有别的什么
It's a great episode. Anything else you
你想补充的吗?
wanna add?
关于FICO的故事有很多可说的。不过我觉得刚才讨论的其他话题也非常不错。
Much to say on the FICO story. I thought these other topics were really good, though.
今天我们做得很好。这是一个很棒的小组讨论。我很高兴你们今天能来。我想问问大家,有没有什么业余时间的事情可以跟我们分享一下,给观众们一些建议,比如餐厅、酒店、旅行、看过的电影、读过的书之类的。Keith,我知道你是个很活跃的人。
We did great today. This is a great panel. I'm so excited you guys are here. Let me just ask you guys, any off duty stuff that you can share with us, with the audience, any recommendations, restaurants, hotels, trips, movies you watch, books you read. Keith, I know that you are an active guy.
那你今年夏天有什么计划?有什么有趣的东西可以和观众分享吗?不管是你在消费的也好,显眼的也好,或者其他什么都行?
What what's on your agenda this summer? Anything interesting you can share with the audience that you're consuming, conspicuous or otherwise?
嗯,我不想分享任何好的餐馆或酒店,因为
Well, I don't wanna share any good restaurants or hotels because
哦,你在藏着掖着呢。
Oh, you're gatekeeping.
你在藏着掖着?
You're gatekeeping?
和Jason一起出去玩过几次。我喜欢滑水,这是我最喜欢的运动,就是喜欢,从我
Come on, man. Give us give us your If
非常难过,非常难过。
you have a you have a baby it's like if you have a babysitter, you're not it's like, you're babysitter.
那是湖边生活,我把这种生活方式称作湖边生活。
Yes. Can I get your nannies now?
所以是湖边生活。
But there are there are things that are, what do you call it, no marginal cost consumption like Netflix. So for example, you know, this documentary on Osama bin Laden is phenomenal. Like, I don't know if any of you have seen it.
这是一个概念。最近有点像是一个支线任务,我最近购买了最顶尖的西洋双陆棋引擎。
It's brand new. And,
XG。
you know, I I I'm a student of this stuff, and I I thought, you know, I knew the whole story and etcetera. Watch episode one. Just start with episode one, and it just blew me away with new information, new footage, just absolutely incredible stuff. So highly, highly recommend it.
XG,没错。这个缩写代表Extreme Gamut(极限范围)。这是目前最顶尖的引擎,所有职业选手都依据它来评估自己的水平。这个引擎是由一位出色的创业者Xavier开发的,他是一位彻头彻尾的、超级聪明的人,我该用什么词来形容呢?
What what was the big takeaway for you so far?
不是Savant(学者),但基本上类似于天才型人物。不过他已经很多年没有继续研究它了。所以我现在重新投入进去,
I don't know if there's any, like, specific takeaway, but just, like, so many parts of the story are misunderstood and not really understood and how the various confluences of somewhat random things lead to a very catastrophic result. But it it it's it's, like, as dramatic as the best movie, but it's a full documentary, and you will learn things and absorb things. I I just I've had friends well, I've been recommending it to friends. And for a story you think you know, it's incredible incredibly revealing.
太棒了。
Okay. Travis, anything you got on your plate there that you're enjoying? A restaurant? A dish?
并尝试将现代机器学习、深度学习技术以及强大的计算能力结合起来,看看我们是否能让西洋双陆棋这个游戏更进一步。这非常令人兴奋。同时也在开发超快速训练应用程序,帮助人们迅速上手。我参加了人生中第一场在卡什举行的西洋双陆棋比赛,那感觉相当不错。
I mean, look. You know I mean, JC, you know, I go to Austin a lot. Yes. Like, basically, March till October, I do about 15 weekends in Austin. Have a lake house.
不。等等。是的。好的。
Jason's hung out a couple times. So I I love water skiing. That's my whole thing. That's my, like, that's I just love it. It's just my thing since I
是的。
was Very sad. Very sad.
冒昧问一句,你找到了Uber。你很有名。你去参加这个后端大会。这是不是像在8号汽车旅馆后面的会议室里举办的?我要告别了。
It's lake it's I call it lake life.
我记得是在大约一个月前左右。当时有一个大型比赛,美国后端联合会举办了这次大型活动。我想应该是在洛杉矶LAX机场旁边的LAX希尔顿酒店举办的。就在地下室里。
So Lake life.
对,是的。
That's a thing. And then I recently this is a little bit of, like, a side quest. I recently purchased the preeminent backgammon engine.
就是在希尔顿酒店的地下室。太棒了。感觉就像……
XG.
接下来就是《龙与地下城》的粉丝聚会吧?对吧?
XG. That's right. This acronym is it it's extreme gamut. And so the preeminent engine so all the pros rate themselves based on this. It was done it was built by this amazing entrepreneur, this guy Xavier, who is just a full on sort of ultra ultra I mean, what's the word I'm looking for?
它确实有那种很正统的氛围。
It's not a Savant? Like a savant, essentially, but hasn't worked on it for many years. So I'm getting back into it and
我太喜欢了。
Love it.
人们会……所以我低调地进去,就做自己的事情,但最后还是被人认出来了,不过他们并没有认出我是Uber的创始人,而是认出了我是XG的老板。
And making it like, taking modern machine learning, sort of deep learning techniques and, like, big compute and saying, can we push the game of backgammon forward? So super exciting. And ultra training apps to get people up to speed quickly. I played in my first backgammon tournament in cached. That was pretty cool.
哦,XG的主人。
No. Wait. Yeah. Okay.
XG。然后那里
Yeah.
发生了激烈的混战。他们说,哦,XG的主人来了。特拉维斯来了。
All due respect, you found Uber. You're very high profile. You go to this back end. Is this, like, held at the Motel 8 in, like, conference Room in the back? I'm taking goodbye.
Shammoth,我觉得我们有机会在这里举办一场高端的西洋双陆棋锦标赛。我们现在就得确定下来。我们必须锁定这个全押西洋双陆棋套装。
Said that it was at the it was, like, a month ago or so. There's, like, a big tournament, and it was so the the United States Back End Federation had this big turn. It was, I guess, it was at the Los Angeles LAX at the LAX Hilton. And it was in
我必须拥有这个项目的联合品牌权。好吗?绝对的。XG。
the Yes.
是的。不过,不,是全押XG。哦。就像我之前说的,我喜欢一套精美的西洋双陆棋套装。
Was in the basement of the Hilton. Great. And it was like
如果我们能做一个价值1万美元的棋具,Shammoth,我们可以去猎杀海龟或者白犀牛,所有那些弗里堡试图保护的动物。我们可以猎杀它们
next the Dungeons and Dragons convention. Right?
然后制作出来,那将会太棒了。
It it had those kinds of legit vibes.
没错。比如,白棋可以是犀牛,然后你可以用其他东西,比如象皮,一些非常悲惨的材料,然后吃掉它们的肉,为你制作一套西洋双陆棋。
I love that.
我喜欢西洋双陆棋。说实话,如果我不是在努力成为一名专业的扑克玩家,我一定会选择这个游戏。如果你打开这个潘多拉魔盒,哦,天哪,你就能抓住那只兔子。
People would so so I went in super low pro, just did my thing, but eventually was recognized, but I was not recognized as the founder of Uber. I was recognized as the owner of XG.
关掉它们。走吧,伙计。我们开始吧。
Oh, the owner of
后端是一款非常、非常、非常精彩的游戏。
XG. Then there
我喜欢坐着的氛围。Travis和我坐在一起。我拿出了些雪茄。你知道的,我们倒了一点全押龙舌兰酒 tequila.allin.com。我们就这么开始了。
was, like, a full on melee that basically occurred. They're like, oh, the owner XG. Travis is here.
