Anduril’s American-Made Laptops, OpenAI Disproves ETH, New MacBook Pro | Diet TBPN
John Coogan and Jordi Hays of TBPN cover Anduril and Qualcomm's American-made Blue Chip laptop, Apple's new MacBook Pro, OpenAI's claim to have disproved the exponential time hypothesis, Anthropic's succession plan and a possible DoorDash-Instacart deal.
The gist
-
Anduril and Qualcomm announced Blue Chip, a rugged American-made laptop with swappable panels for government, defense and first responders, expected in 2027.
-
Palmer Luckey argues a country that can't build its own computers can't secure them; Coogan thinks the last US-made laptop predates Luckey's 20-year claim.
-
Apple's new 14-inch MacBook Pro has an M6 chip, 12-core CPU, 30% faster graphics and 24-hour battery, though the hosts say the design has stagnated.
-
OpenAI says an internal model disproved the exponential time hypothesis, checked in Lean; one host suspects labs are keeping more commercial discoveries private.
