Jason Calacanis on SpaceX's Unknown Origin Story: Elon Wanted to Back Up the Biosphere in Space!
 
Jason:

“Most people don't remember this, but when Elon was starting SpaceX, the original idea when he was running around with Adeo and they were looking at some rockets and getting carriage from Russian rockets was to back up the biosphere.”

“And he came back from that trip and I remember talking to him about it and he said, ‘I think I just have to make my own rockets because that's actually where the problem is, and it would be easier just to make my own rocket to back up the biosphere.’

And he wanted to put geo-domes, like geodesic domes in space, with all the plants, wildlife, and creatures. What incredible vision.

And then there was the necessity of actually getting that up into space, and that's the unknown origin story.”

Your privacy or the public's safety

After an incident in Austin, the public is divided: Keep your license plate data private or catch criminals faster. No one wants to risk the abuse of your personal information. But no one wants to let criminals run freely. Austin has to decide now.

Your board can't deal with AI-first

Going AI-first means some revenue destruction. Shaking up management. The board just can't handle that. Jason's suggestion: Sell your shares or let them do what they can do best.

OpenAI acquired OpenClaw - now Luke works for the Emperor

With Peter, it felt like a revolution; now it just feels like the Empire bought it. Alex sees OpenClaw as just the signal of where we're going. With 5 new tools coming out in just 90 days, people will choose the one with the best reputation.

Jason wants his doctor to start with his Whoop data. They won't.

Meanwhile tech is rebuilding healthcare from scratch. Oura, Function, Superpower and Whoop demonstrate how it's done: clinicians via video chat and AI coaches. Could this be the new way of health care?

There is no night in space.

Philip Johnston's Starcloud needs 1000x less battery than Earth data centers because there's nothing to store overnight. Jensen walked out on stage for this company.

AI is now going to correct everything you say

It's not acai, it's açaí. We don't need this real life "actually meme". Jason thinks we need to establish cultural norms. Not Hermoine energy.

Use AI first or this isn't the place for you

If you don't have the time to learn AI, you don't have a job anymore.
Ask AI how to do your job better. Let it do your repetitive tasks. Keep your job.

Got laid off? Find 2 people and do a revenge startup.

What did the previous company screw up? Try 3 products they slept on. Double down on whatever gets traction. Either look at it like a victim or as an opportunity and become independent.

Humans shouldn't be making ER diagnoses alone.

A Harvard study put AI against real ER doctors on 76 cases. AI hit 67% accuracy. Doctors hit 55%. On clinical reasoning, the model scored perfectly on 98% of cases.

Jason's take: every doctor needs an AI copilot.

The ER is overworked. We need AI to take the front door.

The fastest growing segment in healthcare right now is digital-first primary care. AI handles the triage. Humans step in when it gets serious. Trey says the front door of healthcare has already changed.

They blocked the JetBlue/Spirit merger to give consumers more options.

Spirit went bankrupt anyway. The big airlines got the gates. If you actually want more competition, stop blocking mergers and start fixing how airport gates get allocated. That's the real problem.
