Full Episode: The AI Industrial Revolution
Naval Ravikant talks with Guillermo Rauch of Vercel, Blake Scholl of Boom Supersonic and Max Hodak of Science about how AI agents are changing software, hardware, regulation and healthcare, and what humans will still uniquely do.
The gist
-
Naval says he ignores prompting tricks and throws Codex, Claude and Gemini at the same problem, arguing you should waste tokens to save time.
-
Blake Scholl says AI lets two engineers design an entire jet engine and cuts 200-page regulatory documents from months of work to minutes.
-
Guillermo Rauch says 10,000 concurrent agents running Vercel's open-source security tool did several quarters of security work in days for $14,000.
-
Max Hodak argues medical regulators are punished for failures but get no credit for approvals, and that bringing costs down is the real fix for healthcare.
-
Naval says humans plus AI will beat AI alone for a long time, and the best thing you can do now is get really good with these tools.
