And then there may be use cases I'm not thinking of like you know the well you know right here is a nice case study because manufacturing every one of these cars coming out at the rate of one every minute or two uh is less energy than the data center that's training the cars to

OpenAI Insider on GPT-5, AGI & the Great AI Race with Kevin Weil & Dave Blundin
Kevin Weil joins Peter H. Diamandis and Dave Blundin at OpenAI to discuss GPT-5, the pace of AI progress, and how OpenAI thinks about deploying increasingly capable models. The conversation covers GPT-5’s strengths in health and coding, rapid iteration based on user feedback, competition in the AI landscape, and the uncertainty around what future models will be able to do.
Ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt on What Artificial Superintelligence Will Actually Look Like
Peter H. Diamandis and Dave B sit down with Eric Schmidt to discuss the path to digital superintelligence, with Schmidt suggesting it could arrive within 10 years and that AI’s self-building capabilities may emerge soon. The excerpt emphasizes electricity and data center power as the main constraint on AI’s growth, while also exploring agents, reasoning, planning, and enterprise automation. Schmidt argues that AI could become a pocket-sized polymath, but also warns that the upside comes with a negative domain that society must prepare for.
Audience comments snapshot
Comments focus heavily on interruptions and format
The sampled comments are dominated by complaints that Peter interrupts Elon or redirects the conversation before Elon can finish a point. Several commenters ask for an edited version with only Elon speaking, while the channel owner’s reply acknowledges the feedback and thanks viewers. A smaller number of comments use humor to mock the back-and-forth style of the interview.
Comment themes
Interview structure over content
Viewers are reacting less to the subject matter of the interview and more to the pacing, with repeated complaints about conversational control and flow.
Preference for longer guest monologues
The sample suggests a strong desire for fuller, uninterrupted answers from the guest, especially when discussing complex or high-interest topics.
Audience signals
Interruptions dominate the feedback
Multiple comments say Elon is interrupted right as he is about to expand on a point, and that the conversation keeps shifting away from his answers.
Requests for an Elon-only edit
Some viewers explicitly request a cut of the discussion with only Elon’s responses, suggesting they want longer uninterrupted answers.
Creator response to criticism
One top-level reply from the channel owner responds directly to the criticism, thanking viewers and noting the discussion may have come across differently than intended.
Humorous reactions to the interview style
A few comments use short jokes or sarcasm to highlight the perceived mismatch between Elon’s talking points and Peter’s interjections.
Representative public comments
Hi everyone, thank you for your feedback on this episode. My goal is to guide the discussion, and having a friend such as Elon made the conversation especially energetic. That said, I appreciate your honesty and understand how it may have come across. Thanks for watching and helping make Moonshots better! Peter
Elon: about to reveal the secrets of the universe Peter: “Anyway..”
Every comment so far talks about how Peter interrupts. 3 minutes in and I won’t waste my time. Touché.
Every time Elon's about to cook, Peter interrupts him and changes the subject.
Peter loves hearing himself talk more than anything else in the world.
We need a supercut version of this podcast where you only let elon talk. This is insane.
