E2069 • Jan 9, 2025 • 68 mins

Jason Calacanis and Alex Wilhelm dive into recent tech developments and startup opportunities. They explore the implications of the recent fires in Pacific Palisades and Malibu, discussing potential insurance and startup solutions. The episode covers Meta's revised content moderation strategy, analyzing Mark Zuckerberg's motivations. They also highlight NVIDIA's AI supercomputer chip and its impact on the tech industry, alongside innovations like Lenovo's rollable laptop and Slack's iOS integration. Additionally, they touch on BYD's supercar and Anthropic's valuation. Jason shares his experience with luxury Japanese minivans, and they wrap up with plans for the podcast and a call for listener feedback.

Key Points

  • NVIDIA's new $3,000 Blackwell-powered device could revolutionize AI development by making advanced computing power accessible to hobbyists and smaller companies.
  • Meta's shift to a community notes model for fact-checking indicates a strategic move to align with free speech sentiments and potentially curry favor with political figures.
  • Toyota's luxurious Alford minivan, popular in Japan for its first-class seating and smooth ride, could find a significant market in the U.S. if imported.
