I'm going to need to get my driver's license in a couple of years, but after hearing this, I have a question. So... Well, you may not have to get your driver's license, but... That was my entire question. So... So much of driving now is the technology in the car around the car, so technology is always going to be a part of the human experience. Humans will be demonstrably less safe than autonomous, and then it's going to be up to regulators to decide what a human license looks like. How does that end up affecting the next generation of drivers? Do they have to learn how to drive? And like what happens to sports like race car driving? Mass production of these AVs is going to take some time. They are very expensive today, much more expensive than a regular car. It's just happening faster than even I expected, and I'm an optimist as it relates to technology. Is society going to adjust, and can it adjust fast enough? And so from my standpoint... Now, that's a moonshot, ladies and gentlemen. All right, so go to the mics for your questions. I'm going to start with this question on Slido. So what's harder, convincing regulators that autonomous cars are safe or convincing passengers to get into one? It's actually pretty easy to get passengers to get into an autonomous vehicle. What we're finding is, for example, Atlanta, Austin, we let you know that you have been matched with an autonomous vehicle. 80% of people say yes. 20% say no. And the 80% who say yes love the experience. Regulators obviously move a little bit slower, but this is a technology that I say more people are excited about than not. All right, we'll go to one of our teens. We have a group of 20 teens here in the room. Very cool. Please. How you doing? I'm doing good. I had a quick question just about, like, in 15, 20 years when most of the cars on the road are self-driving, does it ever become illegal for human drivers because do they become like a safety hazard risk on the road? And how does that end up affecting the next generation of drivers? Do they have to learn how to drive? And, like, what happens to sports like race car driving? Is that, like, gonna, like, die out because nobody has to drive anymore? Just, that's kind of what I'm asking about. Well, I think that race car driving is always gonna be a thing because it's just so damn cool. You know, again, you may be augmented, right? It's, you think about so much of driving now is the technology in the car, around the car. So technology is always going to be a part of the human experience. I don't think it's gonna happen in the next 15 years, but certainly in the next 25 years, humans will be demonstrably less safe than autonomous drivers. And then it's gonna be up to regulators to decide what a human license looks like. Maybe the driving test is gonna be much more demanding than it is today. I like free will. So I'm like, hey, if you want to drive, that's not a problem. But I can definitely see a future where, you know, there are gonna be fewer and fewer drivers on the road, just like there are less people who know how to ride a horse. Dara, I'll, so thank you for that question. Building on that, you know, there's a lot of deaths in the Middle East from young teenagers with fast cars. Yeah. And I guess I could imagine a future in which an AI overlay allows you to drive your car as fast and crazy as you want, but it knows the car's limits and it stops you from ever swerving off the road. Right? It's like bumpers that you go up against. So that would be fascinating. That's just a comment. Let's go to here. Question. Mike. Yeah. So just a question regarding when you have the flying cars. Now, from a real estate perspective, what will be the opportunity here? Will you be putting on top of buildings or helipads? So we're talking, again, this is more Joby, but there's a lot of discussion on vertiports, so to speak. And we want this product to be a mass market product. So these vertiports will have to be designed to have multiple vehicles coming, landing, and taking off. The location of those vehicles is gonna be based on kind of very high traffic areas. I think, obviously, airports or city centers or the size of cities are going to be targets, so to speak. And we've got perfect data in these cities as to what are the best places for you to place vertiports to be able to have the most business and reduce the most amount of traffic as well. So there's absolutely a real estate opportunity. If you're interested, give our Uber folks or the Joby folks a call. Yeah, I think it's a huge opportunity as well for small islands that are hard to get to. Totally. Elchin, we'll go to you, mic two. Thank you very much. Elchin, I'm building a solid shape construction materials marketplace. If you were starting a marketplace now at Abundance era with AI, what would you focus on first? And we're using Uber for our LTL. Thank you. So if we start a marketplace, what would you focus on first? Is that the question? I mean

Low-coherence transcript-style text referencing: (1) a purported “global pause” by Anthropic, (2) recursive self-improvement / AI personhood themes, (3) Elon Musk/xAI deal expansion (unspecified counterpart), and (4) Argentina positioning as a global hub (compute/AI) amid opposition/regulatory capture. Most statements are non-specific, lack verifiable details (who/what/when), and provide limited direct trading catalysts.

Ray Kurzweil on Why We’re Living in the Singularity | EP #261

Podcast discussion spans: Anthropic’s Opus 4.8 vs “GPT 5.5” narrative, OpenAI “foundation”/philanthropy, Hassabis AGI-by-2029 view, Amazon AI shopping, renewables surpassing legacy energy, AI/robots accelerating, cancer detection innovation, and social/political backlash (anti-tech extremism, UBI, workforce initiatives). Content is thematic (10+ year tech narrative) with limited concrete catalysts/tickers; best used to frame medium-term positioning in AI infrastructure, hyperscalers, robotics automation, and renewables, while noting regulatory/backlash risk to big tech.

Podcast-style, low-coherence transcript touching on (1) a major religious institution (the Vatican/Pope Leo) taking a position related to AI philosophy/AI personhood, framed as potentially aligning with EU-style caution; (2) references to frontier labs (Anthropic, xAI) and upcoming model iterations (e.g., “GPT 5.5”); and (3) a claim that Anthropic’s revenue is growing/has shifted toward a “real revenue engine,” plus a provocative/unclear claim that something “could surpass Alphabet’s total revenue,” with an isolated “$9 billion in revenu…” fragment. The entry contains some narrative signals (regulatory/ethical headwinds; frontier model progress; commercialization traction) but few verifiable, trade-ready facts.

Podcast-style discussion (fragmented transcript) about an "organizational singularity" driven by increasingly capable AI agents (AGI/ASI framing). Core idea: companies will restructure around a mission/protocol/architecture ("MTP") with agentic loops (similar to OODA/UDA loops), where agents operate via APIs, potentially changing how work is organized and how enterprise systems (ERP) are implemented/used. It references legacy enterprise stacks (Oracle Financials, SAP) and suggests SaaS/ERP vendors may be "freaked out" if agentic layers/protocols commoditize or bypass traditional ERP workflows.

The source contains only a headline with no supporting details, timing, or specifics (no confirmed filing, terms, or catalyst dates). Actionability is therefore low; at best it suggests broad themes (space/launch, AI model performance) that could map to public proxies.
