Like, till we. Till we get off. Yeah, for sure. Sweet. Well, great catching up with you. We got to talk about the Shrek. The Shrek. It's a Shrek themed truck. They did it. Love you. It's breaking. Cover it on the show. Let's pull up. Can we pull up the Shruck? This is important news. Everyone needs to know. We were talking about the GT3 RS from Porsche that is Buzz Lightyear themed. We were joking about a Shrek themed Ferrari Luce, but it turns out that some entrepreneur, some enterprising young man on Instagram reels, created a Shrek. It's a Shrek themed truck. And we have a video here in the timeline right after the GTA 6 cover art that was revealed earlier today. GTA 6, of course, is releasing November 19, but let's play this video. I don't even need the IEMs. We can hear it. There's. There you go. The Shruck. Do you want to watch Shrek tonight? Absolutely. The Shruck is going strong. See, the ears are what make it green. Truck doesn't do it until you put the ears on there. Look at that. I might need to get one of these. That's a good Malibu Daily. I think you need it just an everywhere Daily.

Brent Zerver on X Antibology. Great account says the obvious next step once you have a full body ultrasound scanner is to use the ultrasound to do useful things to the body. Delete tissues, make cells, divide, reprogram cells, read plus write. If you're an engineer interested in solving the right side of sci fi medical devices, we're building this and hiring. Well, let's go through some more of the reactions. Midjourney. Launching an ultrasound scanner is such a clear example of freedom enjoyed by bootstrap companies that VC backed companies have. Only time will tell if it's the right bet. But such bold bets require ownership and a kind of devil may care attitude. That's somewhat true, but the counter to all that is like the Elon Musk projects and and a variety of founders and specs. But also, you know, like Sam Altman has done this too where it's like, okay, there's a new idea, get a new team, fund it and it's on the side. Like there are, there are a variety of entrepreneurs that are playing the VC game, marshaling capital and then have the permission to work on crazy stuff like a mass driver on the moon, et cetera. But in general I agree with this point that a lot of founders get locked in a VC loop of you gotta raise money every 18 months, you gotta hit the core KPI, you don't have the time or cash flow because you're win, win, win, fight, fight, fight. And it's very, very interesting. And such a narrative violation that midjourney has become such a machine for financially in people would say it's a commodity market, people would say it's a highly competitive market. You're going up against Google, you're with Nanobanana, you're going up against OpenAI. And yet Midjourney has carved out a fantastic community, a fantastic user base, fantastic business model and it's really, I don't know, it's a testament to something. It's just awesome. I don't know what else to say. But not everyone loves it. They're quoting Kanye West. I like David Hull's AI art tool, but what does he know about medical equipment? He knows about this because of Leap Motion. Like just say you don't studied history. Also very important. He's partnered with Butterfly Network, which is a public company that is of course up almost 50% today. Really? Wow. They're providing quick history on Butterfly. Let's see, started in 2011 by Dr. Jonathan Rothberg and yeah, fast forward to 2021. They were spake and Then they've kind of just kind of floundered a little bit in the public market since then, but have clearly developed some pretty impressive technology. And so interesting way to combine Midjourney's and David Hull's vision with technology that's been in development for a long time. Yeah. Oh, this is interesting. Calling back to Rune says the vaguely PBS kids inspirational tone, that new AI release video take has stopped being appropriate. I think this is no longer like Carl Sagan explaining the rings of Saturn. There's something more dark techno Promethean about it. Faustian even needs a 1o tricks Loptian score. I don't know how to pronounce that Pshur. He's for sale. Rivers is saying Midjourney is the first AI lab to score their release with something beautiful and so much more incredibly beautiful song from Max Cooper. I would guess people underestimate how much it stirs their soul. It certainly rose your emotions. You were excited by it. People were very, very positive. Hank Green offered some context on other initiatives in Whole body ultrasounds. We don't have time to read through all of it, but it's in the newsletter as well. If you want to check that out tbpn.com we link to it. You can go check it out. Paula says, okay, mid journey now make my spine more studio Ghibli. I'm down. I'm down. Giblify the human form. Yeah. I think one of my main takeaways is like, okay, now we have this new method. Ideally you can find cancers much faster. Right. If you're going to this thing every week or so, you can find cancers earlier. So then how do you react to this? Well, now we have go long housing because if the boomers don't die, they won't pass it down. Well, yes, but also we have this joke like, oh, you're not AGI pilled if you're not smoking every day, right? Yeah, yeah. So it's like this is like very. This is like great evidence. Like, yeah, you should start smoking now. You should start smoking. Right? Because it's smoking. Do not start smoking. But yes, it does fit in perfectly with this. Like, risk of lung cancer is effectively zero. It also tells you a lot about like the whole pitch of like, AI is going to cure cancer. It's like people tend to think that like, AI is going to cure cancer by like the prompt being like, what's the cure for cancer? And it's going to give you some like E equals MC squared math equation when really it's like AI might cure cancer in the sense that, like, a guy gets really rich from AI image generation and then funnels that into a medical technology that can advance screening by a couple months and catch it earlier. So the rate of cancer declines a bunch. But it's not just like, oh, yeah, he prompted it and we got the magic pill. It's much more complicated than that because curing cancer or actually reducing cancer rates is like a process. It's like an industrial process more than it is a, like, one neat trick. And do you remember what happened on March 21st back in 2024? March 21st, 2021. 2024. 2024. Oh, was he, was he posting about this? Yeah, David, tbh. I want to open up a medical imaging division at Mid Journey to work on stuff like this. That's so cool. Call the shot. And here it is. Very exciting. Anyway.

Anyway, a bunch of other funny things happening at the G7. Apparently, Donald Trump had to ask Sam Altman how to adjust his chair up and down, how to use the chair. And that's gotta hurt because you're Sam Altman. You've spent billions, tens of billions of dollars, years of your life, a decade of your life, building a machine that can answer this exact question, almost any question. You take a picture of the chair, tells you how exactly to operate it. So to do that right in his face. Right in his face. Just completely reject the premise. Yeah, yeah. And, you know, on the tip of the tongue, he's like, actually, like, this is a great opportunity to use ChatGPT. You can use images, upload a photo of that chair. It can go and agentically pull the actual diagrams, the manual from that chair. Go to the website. It's chair super intelligence, Mr. President. And Mr. President is just not interested. He's just like, I'm going with a human on this one. And that's why diffusion takes so long. That's why we're in the slow takeoff anyway.

In other news, Riley Walls did it. He did the unthinkable. He bought a street in San Francisco and auctioned it off. And notion bought it. Now the notion way is officially born. I'm so happy that notion won this. It could have been some crypto thing. It could have gone so odd. It's like high risk. Whenever you turn something loose like this on the Internet, it can go a bunch of different ways. Notion way is not something that I think would be annoyed. I personally wouldn't be annoyed if, like a street corner in my neighborhood was notion way. It is an ad, but it's. You certainly wouldn't be annoyed. I would love it, but it's just a term that feels like. It could just be a street name. Not something that just feels totally like an ad, like with a dot com in there or something. So fantastic. Yeah. I remember when. Perfect execution from Riley Walls. I remember talking with him about this idea for the first time. Absolutely loved it. We told him, like, we painted the street too. We told him that we'd backstop it. Yeah. Basically, like, if no one bid on it, then. Then we. Yeah, we were like, we're good for like a thousand bucks or something like that. No, I think it was like, I think maybe 10k or whatever the cost was. I remember it was like 20 something. But we were like, well, we'll backstop it. We'll be like the buyer of last resort if you need that. Winning bid wasn't 40k very.

What did Noam Shazir see? What did he see? Because Noam Shazir, the legendary AI researcher formerly of DeepMind has joined OpenAI. Very exciting news for Gnome and OpenAI, he says. I'm excited to share that I'll be joining OpenAI and look forward to working with the exceptional team there. It was a difficult decision to move on. I'm incredibly proud of the amazing team at Google and everything we've built together. It has been an honor and a pleasure to work with all of you. Everyone is very, very excited about and Yaxin wild move. Interesting details here, he says Noam Shazir, 6, 4. I don't know, just getting right to the important stuff. But I like that we're apocryphally building up our our heroes. Yeah. Remember the Metis list? Numbers 1 on the list. You remember the Metis list which we released summer of last year during the height of the talent wars. Co Author of number one former T5 switch transformer papers, one of the pioneers of sparse moe models. Leaving his VP of Engineering Gemini Co lead role at Google DeepMind to join OpenAI. Lisan Al Gaib says this is likely the most significant AI talent move of the year. It makes you wonder what's going on at Google. Only matched by the next day. Dean Ball joins OpenAI. Tyler, you've been at Ball nower for a long time. We've had him on the show multiple times. We love Dean and he's been in the complete opposite camp. He's not an AI researcher. He's policy a lot of experience there and had a really even keel I think on a lot of the analyses of should something be. I think the main thing is he really cares about getting this right as a country. Totally right. And he's been critical of almost every company in space but only again because he cares. What does Jim Cramer think about these moves? Yeah, he posted at 3am this morning Noam Shazir top AI thinker goes to AI from Google. Big win for AI and drop the oddly open just AI. It's cleaner, it's cleaner. There's closed source models anyway, just call it the AI company I guess, you know.
