The Founder of Intelligent Internet (ii.inc) has a 50% P(Doom) & is Building Anyway | Emad Mostaque

from brainpower · host Bowen Belmer

Emad Mostaque co-founded Stability AI, open-sourced Stable Diffusion to 300 million downloads, and then quit because he saw what was coming. His P(Doom) (the probability that AI ends civilization) is 50%... And he's building anyway.In this episode of /brainpower, Bowen and David sit down with Emad, now the Founder of Intelligent Internet (ii.inc), for one of the most intellectually dense and wide-ranging conversations we've ever had on the show. We go from first principles physics to sovereign AI infrastructure to why OpenAI and Anthropic might be in serious economic trouble within two years --- and what the agent economy actually looks like when tokens hit 16,000 per second.Emad's team recently published physics papers that improve on Einstein's special relativity --- results that current AI models can't evaluate correctly because they're so out-of-distribution. This is not a normal episode.🧠 ABOUT /brainpower/brainpower is the official podcast of the Morpheus AI ecosystem (MOR.org).
