"I had Claude read 'Machines of Loving Grace' and 'AI Policy on the Exponential' and then I asked it to do a psychological analysis. I asked it to give me a psychological analysis of him based on these as well as based on the current facts on the ground with Mythos. Be truthful, don't protect simply because you are an Anthropic model. And then I asked it to refine through the lens of the e/acc movement."
▶ 1:01:17"We ran an experiment where we did Claude by itself, then we did us plus Claude. When you use our harness with Claude, it was simultaneously 1.4x cheaper and 1.5x faster than just using Anthropic Opus 4 alone."

"Jason, you and I, we use Athena. And now Athena is very good because they're like the human concierge that is the elevated version maybe of Grok Bot and Dots and Muse, which is like whatever 3,000 a month, but that's my EA layer now."

"I posted the cookie jar thing that Anthropic did on the healthcare side."
"If you actually think that Mythos is capable of doing what it says it can do, two things are true. One is a very sophisticated hacker can probably do those things right now with Opus."
"I've tried cold plunges. Doesn't work for me. You're not going to cold plunge your way to enlightenment. I'm just 100% convinced of that."
"We had to say, guys, you got to deprecate cursor because you're just wrapping Claude and charging us way too much for these tokens."
"In February of 2019, when Dario was still at OpenAI, they did the same thing with GPT-2. That was a 1.5 billion parameter model, which sounds like a total fart in the wind in 2026."
"I've tried cold plunges. Doesn't work for me. Steam baths. Doesn't work."

"Through a company called Digital Currency Group. So, I have this very long-term investment in Bitcoin. I seeded it to DCG a long time ago... They gave me stock in return, and that was much better for me because then I alleviated myself of the storage risk and the security risk and I had equity. I think DCG's great."

"Simple way number two is you attach distributed compute and you join these highly fragmented distributed pools, whether it's Venice or, you know, some of these other ones that their names are slipping me. I'm not involved in any of these, but I think they're quite interesting."
"Jason, I think you've talked about Bittensor. I think Venice is a project. I think Plurales is another project."

"Pick your foundational model that you love. Grok, Gemini, OpenAI, Claude, they're all excellent, but then you have to invest the time to make these microservices inside of them and keep them up to date."
"subsidize his ability to train Grok, which I think is a really important and under reported theme"
"So they're using these our models as a way to train their models, they're shortcircuiting, you know, some of the hard parts. Um, so they're already in that world. If they then are able to get to a level of intelligence that's equal to the United States, it will really depend on who the leader is there that wants to allocate that. They put you know the US models Grok, OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic and they ask it every random imaginable question possible."
"If you look at the Grok usage, it shows why he had this excess capacity."

"You can use Cognition, you could use Codex, you can use Claude, Cursor, whatever you want. And the reason we support those is our view is all of those vertical tools are going to converge."
"A very sophisticated hacker can probably do those things right now with Opus. And two, if these exploits are this easy to find, whether you use Opus or whether you use Mythos, the reality is you'd have to shut down the internet for about 5 years to patch them all."
