What Survives When AI Can Build Anything? (with Dr. Richard Socher)

What Survives When AI Can Build Anything? (with Dr. Richard Socher)

Richard Socher, CEO of Recursive and author of The Eureka Machine, makes the case for automating the scientific method with recursively self-improving AI. He covers how AI keeps replacing hand-crafted expertise with scale, the four pillars of his approach, why hallucinations can aid discovery, why RSI still rules out an overnight takeoff, and how science may become an engineering discipline across physics, biology, and economics.

David Silver and Lasse Espeholt of Ineffable Intelligence: A Superlearner for the Age of Experience

David Silver and Lasse Espeholt of Ineffable Intelligence: A Superlearner for the Age of Experience

David Silver, co-founder of Ineffable Intelligence, outlines his bold vision for building a "superlearner"—an AI that discovers science, mathematics, and language autonomously, free from human data or explicit guidance. Drawing parallels to AlphaGo Zero's success, Silver argues that human-language reasoning is a ceiling, not a foundation, for advanced AI. He details their approach using complex simulated "crucibles" and simple rewards, aiming to develop the "science of superintelligence" in simulation for safety and accelerated progress. With a powerful GPU cluster and a small, elite team, Silver forecasts strong evidence within a year and superintelligence within three.

Alexandr Wang: From Los Alamos to Superintelligence

Alexandr Wang: From Los Alamos to Superintelligence

Alexandr Wang discusses his journey from Scale AI to Meta's superintelligence lab, emphasizing the importance of conviction, systems thinking, and identifying exponential growth opportunities in AI. He highlights Meta's vision for 'personal superintelligence,' the strategic role of open-source and affordable models, and the immense potential of agentic looping for driving innovation and outcompeting incumbents. His core advice for young entrepreneurs is to develop an unshakeable internal compass for the future, embracing vision and ambition as the new scarce resources.
