Alex Wissner-Gross on EP255: Anthropic just got Colossus 1 from xAI, GROK is on life support, and SpaceX AI is quietly becoming the most important hyperscaler in the world. The frontier lab field collapsed from five to three. The call is coming from inside the house, and the cybernetic rebellion was always going to be us writing it into existence. The singularity hits space first, Earth becomes the lagging indicator. The executive branch quietly starts dumping UAP files because we are about to gain the capability to paperclip the Milky Way. The white-collar economy dissolves in real time, one-person unicorns become the norm, and you should probably just buy the index because superintelligence is the asset allocator now.
