This podcast explores the possible slowdown in AI pre-training advancements and what it means for companies like Nvidia. While some experts doubt that focusing solely on pre-training will yield further benefits, others emphasize the importance of factors like post-training, data quality, and inference time. The discussion then shifts to Tesla's rapid progress in Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology, which could disrupt the automotive industry and reduce the number of major car manufacturers. Lastly, the conversation highlights the ambitious goals of the newly established "Department of Government Efficiency" and its potential effects on the US economy and government spending.
