David PierceHOST
Hello and welcome to The Verge Cast, the flagship podcast of the word ProLed, which I assumed was an acronym until just before we started recording when my friend and yours, Nilay Patel, told me, in fact, it's a portmanteau, and now I'm mad at everything.
David PierceHOST
Hi, Nilay.
Nilay PatelHOST
Hi, buddy.
Nilay PatelHOST
Hi, Nilay.
Nilay PatelHOST
I'm your friend.
Nilay PatelHOST
So I was traveling during the Apple event.

AWS AI is how.
Wesley HilliardHOST
And I don't see...
Wesley HilliardHOST
Like, John Gruber and these others, I think Nilay Patel also at The Verge, said something along the lines of it being almost a chore to open the display.
Wesley HilliardHOST
I never find that to be the case.
Wesley HilliardHOST
Like, if I want the display open, I open it.
Kevin RooseGUEST
And maybe that could just continue forever, or until you run out of compute.
Lizzie O'LearyHOST
You told Nilay Patel, the show friend of yours, that you were AGI-pilled.
Lizzie O'LearyHOST
What does that mean?
Kevin RooseGUEST
It's a term that people in San Francisco use to basically, so I think for me there are a few things that being AGI-pilled consists of.
Nilay PatelHOST
Hello, and welcome to Decoder.
Nilay PatelHOST
I'm Nilay Patel, editor-in-chief of The Verge, and Decoder is my show about big ideas and other problems.
Nilay PatelHOST
Today, I'm joined by Joey Brookhart, an analyst at the chip and AI research firm Semianalysis, to help me dig into the story inside the numbers of the Anthropic IPO filing, a document known as an S-1.
Nilay PatelHOST
Anthropic just filed its S-1 to go public on the NASDAQ stock exchange, and it could start trading as soon as next month at a valuation of anywhere between $1.5 to $2 trillion, immediately making it one of the most valuable companies on the planet.
Stephanie RuhleHOST
It revealed rapidly growing revenue, but it also showed costly plans for future investments and staggering losses down more than $80 billion in the first half of this year alone.
Stephanie RuhleHOST
Let's discuss it with Nilay Patel, editor in chief at The Verge and my dear friend Dan Nathan, co-founder of Risk Reversal and a CNBC Fast Money contributor.
Stephanie RuhleHOST
OK, Neelay, The Wall Street Journal describes this IPO as a mix of promise and peril, which, you know, might sound scary to people.
Stephanie RuhleHOST
But the truth is that could be the description of any IPO.
Nilay PatelHOST

Nilay PatelHOST
My guest today is Kevin Roose, a journalist and author of the new book, The AGI Chronicles, which details the recent and explosive transformation of the AI industry.

Nilay PatelHOST
Like looking at a thing and like understanding that there are multiple paths to a solution.
Nilay PatelHOST
and not having one of those needing to be objectively right to get to the end.
Kevin RooseGUEST
What would it take? What would you have to see to have the scales fall from your eyes and go, I, Nilay Patel, am fully AGI-pilled? What would convince you?
Nilay PatelHOST
I would have to see, you have young children.
David PierceHOST
I'm your friend David Pierce.
David PierceHOST
Nilay Patel is here.
David PierceHOST
Hello, Nilay.
Nilay PatelHOST
So here's my plan.
Nilay PatelHOST
Here's my plan.

Nilay PatelHOST
And so that needs another year of refinement as well.
David PierceHOST
So interesting idea, doesn't really work, needs a year of refinement.
David PierceHOST
Seven out of ten, Nilay Patel.
Jeff RichardsonHOST
a lot of apps, There's a whole app story here, and we'll get to that in a second, but as a practical matter, people say it's really not a great iPhone in this closed mode because of the nature of it.
Jeff RichardsonHOST
Nilay Patel, in his review, friend of the show, I think I could say, you and I have both had the opportunity to, he knows us a little bit, but his review said, Apple says, the screen is 90% of an iPhone screen when it's in this closed state.
Jeff RichardsonHOST
But he says that sounds good, but the reality is that 10%, you really notice that it's missing on the
Brett BurneyHOST
screen.

Brett BurneyHOST
Maybe they didn't have time to do that before they shipped, but it's those things like that that I truly believe in the next generation of this duo.
Brett BurneyHOST
The
Jeff RichardsonHOST
last paragraph of Nilay Patel's review in The Verge says, we have a policy at The Verge that we review a product for what it is today, not what it's going to be tomorrow, because you never know what's coming tomorrow.
Jeff RichardsonHOST
And I think that that is a good point, is that We can all say this is the first step of something new, and I'm sure looking back in history, much like that first iPod, that first iPhone, perhaps we will look back on this and say that the things that people were complaining about, those compromises, were just because it was a 1.0 product.
Allison JohnsonGUEST
It's so variable.
Allison JohnsonGUEST
I know that our editor in chief, Nilay Patel, he was also working on this review.
Allison JohnsonGUEST
He had a very different experience, and I think he was on more train rides where the cell signals coming in and out, doing all kinds of power moves on the inner screen, and you won't get as good battery life that way.
Allison JohnsonGUEST
So that is highly variable, but I had a good time with it.
Allison JohnsonGUEST
It, it is.
Allison JohnsonGUEST
I know that our editor in chief, Nilay Patel, he was also, um, working on this review.
Allison JohnsonGUEST
He had a very different experience and I think he was on, um, you know, more train rides where the cell signals coming in and out, doing all kinds of power moves on the inner screen.
Allison JohnsonGUEST
And you.
