Behind the scenes at the ALL-IN AI SUMMIT w/ POTUS, JD Vance, Jensen Huang, Lisa Su, and more… | E2156

Jul 25, 2025 • 64 mins

Today’s show: Jason’s back and filling us in on his experiences in Washington DC, at the All-In AI Summit, including getting a Trump shoutout from stage, debating immigration with VP Vance, and calling out Sec. Wright for dismissing solar power. THEN Jason and Alex talk about the immense promise of open-source robotics and check out Hugging Face’s Reachy… PLUS picking apart the White House’s new AI-related executive orders, why Jason is afraid of China repeating its Huawei success, a free exchange about tariffs vs. free trade, AND a pressing query from a founder on Reddit: how bad is it to add AI to your product too early?

Key Points

  • The H-1B visa system is being exploited, leading to highly skilled workers being underpaid and treated as less empowered labor with limited job security.
  • Solar power, despite criticism, is the most cost-effective and scalable energy solution compared to coal and natural gas, particularly in the short and mid-term.
  • AI's potential to transform industries like healthcare, education, and manufacturing is immense, but its integration into startups should be thoughtfully timed to avoid distraction and inefficiency.
