  • Outstanding

    Really compelling “cannot miss” AI and Technology updates on the regular. IMHO not political like some other ‘Tech’ pods — and based on data — and with a splash of appreciated optimism! Thank you, Peter and thanks to your mates and guests and the entire team! Keep going!

  • ElonShots™️

    I wanted to like this. The more I listen, the more off-putting it gets. At least half of every episode is spent in praise of Elon Musk. Occasionally there's an interesting segment of the show, but that evaporates with an over-intellectualization of the future of humanity. Plus, a consistent heavy dose of oversimplification of human biology. Self-aggrandizement and credentialism run wild. Drink every time they use 3 niche acronyms in one sentence.

    This podcast is very interesting. It is mostly about AI. But sometimes also talks about other technologies.

  • Positivity and abundance - how refreshing!

    This is my favourite podcast my a mile. I’ve never had such up-to-date access to such unbiased, intelligent analysis and discussion about the technology that is shaping our future. I love the camaraderie and the individual perspectives of the four hosts and their excellent guests. I’ve heard that an individual becomes the average of the five people they’re around most… well, I must thank the Moonshots mates for being a consistently positive and inspirational part of my ‘closest 5’. Thank you!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sergey Brin Retakes Gemini, 4 Labs Lose Containment, Compute Trades at NYSE w/ Kush Bavaria | EP #278
Q: Kush, tell us more about Ornn's Compute Price Index and what this means for investors and traders.
Ornn aims to transform compute into a traded asset by creating a futures market and rolling out indices that track GPU-hour value and other compute metrics, enabling hedging and institutional participation with a Nasdaq-like liquidity profile.
China’s Endgame: ASI Timelines, US-China Relations, and the $1.7T AI Bubble With Alvin Graylin | #281
Q: What would it take for the CCP to wake up to AGI and potentially shift policy toward speed and competition?
It would likely require observable breakthroughs in superintelligence that demonstrate a strategic imperative for national security, potentially triggering a shift away from current regulatory caution toward aggressive development to maintain leadership and stability.
China’s Endgame: ASI Timelines, US-China Relations, and the $1.7T AI Bubble With Alvin Graylin | #281
Q: Why do you believe getting clarity and some resolution on the US–China AI race is so important right now?
Because the perception of a race creates irrational decision-making; there is no real finish line and the world is not zero-sum. A clearer, collaborative framework could reduce harmful competition and help manage the transition as AI systems become more capable.
Bernie Demands the Labs Stop, Wall Street Turns GPUs Into Bonds, Grok 4.7 Takes #1 with Emad Mostaque | EP #279
Q: Are we at or near AI takeoff, and will the current models be enough to preserve safety as capabilities scale?
The panelists argue that taking a multi-pronged approach is essential: improving defensive AI, aligned incentives, and governance, while still acknowledging that breakthroughs are accelerating; the consensus leans toward a combination of exponential tools and coordinated worldwide policy to manage risks.
Jared Isaacman: NASA's Moon Base by 2028, Optimus Robots on the Moon, The Truth About UFOs | Ep #274
Q: What is the plan for Mars, and will private companies lead or NASA?
The plan envisions NASA and private partners sharing roles, with NASA advancing nuclear propulsion and core capabilities while commercial players push private missions; early Mars missions may be led by NASA or major partners, but the goal is a scalable, sustainable presence.
