If you haven't watched Elon Musk's long conversation with Nikhil Kamath yet, it is worth your time. It is almost two hours, with no script. Just two people thinking out loud about work, AI, family, money and the future. Elon talks about how Tesla, SpaceX and xAI are starting to come together around AI, robots and solar powered AI satellites. He gives one of the clearest explanations of Starlink I have heard, including why it works best in rural areas and why it goes free during natural disasters. He also explains why he thinks AI and robots will lead to universal high income, and a future where working is optional. There is a great part on philanthropy. He says it is easy to give money away for the appearance of goodness, and very hard to do it for the reality of goodness. His advice to young builders is simple: make useful products and services, and aim to put more into the world than you take out. As a business guy, that is the part that stuck with me most. Money follows value. And as someone who types with his brain through Neuralink, I never get tired of hearing Elon talk about the future. Great job @nikhilkamathcio, and thank you @elonmusk.

This week's All-In Podcast is a great one. The besties start with a big question: could Claude be conscious? They dig into the New York Times report that Anthropic has been meeting with religious leaders about AI consciousness and model welfare, and how the Pope pushed back. Friedberg argues that believing AI is conscious is really a new belief system, since it can't be proven or disproven. Chamath steelmans the other side with Descartes, then says the industry should spend the next 12 to 18 months proving AI can cure disease and make people more productive. As a man of faith, I found that whole conversation fascinating. Then they get into OpenAI releasing hundreds of math papers at once, and the backlash from mathematicians. They also cover the riots in France, Friedberg's socialism point of guaranteed return, and the bond market. My favorite part was near the end, when they talk about Grok Bot going headless and AI agents doing real work. Chamath tells a story about someone who asked Grok Bot to save them money. It went through their inbox, canceled some subscriptions, changed their phone plan, and saved them a few thousand dollars a year. That is exactly how I use it. I type with my brain through Neuralink, and Grok Bot does the legwork so I can keep running things. Great episode from @chamath @Jason @DavidSacks and @friedberg on @theallinpod. Well worth the full hour and a half.

This might be my favorite BYU football story in a long time. Coach Kalani Sitake was born in Nuku'alofa, Tonga, and his family moved to Hawaii when he was a baby. This summer he went back for the first time. He took his dad, his family, and a group of about 50 from BYU, including players and coaches. The family paid respects to a grandmother whose faith brought the family into the gospel. You can feel how much that trip meant to every one of them. One of the grandkids remembers Grandpa drawing a map of Tonga for them. When the plane landed, there was that same map out the window. But this was not just a family trip. Kalani wanted to give back to the island. Through the We Are One Foundation, they opened an employment center in Nuku'alofa that connects BYU Pathway Worldwide students in Tonga with remote jobs. Education plus real jobs, so people can build a future without leaving their families and their island. I know how much technology can open doors. I type with my brain through Neuralink, and remote work and online tools let me keep building things. This is what BYU and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are all about to me. Huge respect to @kalanifsitake and the whole Sitake family. Thank you @BYUSportsNation for telling this story. Go Cougs @BYUfootball! Watch it here. It is 9 minutes well spent:

Delta’s CEO must be trolling. They’re dead last among US airlines for Wi-Fi speeds, and Starlink is ~10 times faster than Delta’s Viasat system. I will never take another Delta flight again.
