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.

No Priors Ep. 123 | With ReflectionAI Co-Founder and CEO Misha Laskin

Misha Laskin, co-founder of Reflection AI and former researcher at Google DeepMind, discusses the company's mission to build superhuman autonomous systems. He introduces Asimov, a code comprehension agent designed to solve the 80% of an engineer's time spent on understanding complex systems, rather than just code generation. Laskin delves into the intricacies of co-designing product and research, the critical role of customer-driven evaluations, the bottlenecks in scaling reinforcement learning (RL) — particularly the "reward problem" — and why he believes the future is one of "jagged superintelligence" emerging in specific, high-value domains like coding.
