  • Meh

    Recent Ep with Amex acquisition was quite a fail. Honestly I felt quite disappointed as it felt like propaganda. His assertion within days we deploy nexus what a BS. Second was growth vs cost cutting assertion. Sure yawn!

  • One of my favorite podcasts

    There are so many podcasts out there about or by VCs, but No Priors has always stood out to me because they go deep, really asking good questions and going beyond high-level points to actually get to the good stuff. Some of the more recent interviews are really stellar. I don’t subscribe to many podcasts but this is one I’ll likely be a proud subscriber of for years to come.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

We Need An Ecosystem in AI, And Every Company Can Win A Place In It
Q: What is the dominant strategic way to think about AI now according to Nadella?
Nadella emphasizes an ecosystem and platform approach, where AI is embedded across a suite of tools and models, enabling companies to participate as first-class participants by building specialist capabilities on top of robust, private evaluative frameworks.
The Story Behind Cerebras’ $63 Billion IPO with Founder and CEO Andrew Feldman
Q: Can you tell us a bit how the OpenAI deal happened and what made Cerebras a good fit for them?
The collaboration emerged after Sam Altman and the OpenAI team saw our speed and the scale we could achieve; they needed fast inference at scale, and we demonstrated that we could deliver a performance and capacity edge that aligned with their needs, which led to a rapid set of trials and a decisive engagement.
Amex Global Business Travel: The World’s First AI Take Private with Long Lake CEO Alexander Taubman
Q: Why pursue acquisitions instead of building software and selling it as a product?
Owning the companies allows us to align incentives with actual business outcomes, deliver faster AI-enabled transformations, and drive deeper, longer-lasting value than just selling software. The feedback loop with customers and employees is tighter when you control the entire stack.
Pax Silica: Inside the Trump Administration’s Tech Strategy with US Under Secretary of State for Economic Affairs Jacob Helberg
Q: Can you explain Pax Silica and where you are in it?
Pax Silica is an economic security coalition across 14 countries focused on a ecosystem-based approach to secure the AI supply chain, including a forward-deployed industrial base with long-term investment and protections, especially in the Philippines, to create predictable, commercially viable partnerships that can operate outside of direct government control.
Scaling Global Organizations in the Age of AI with ServiceNow Chairman and CEO Bill McDermott
