An emergency ASI Pill special. Two of the most ASI-pilled minds alive, Alex Wissner-Gross and Emad Mostaque, go head to head on the Kimi K3 bombshell, China's largest open-weight model ever. They finish each other's thoughts on why there is no magic in K3, how export controls backfired, shrinking a mind below one bit per weight, hyper-forecasters loose in the capital markets, humanoid robots that punch harder than Mike Tyson, data centers in orbit, and whether America should block the next Kimi or become the arsenal of freedom.


Reshaped from the Moonshots Podcast emergency episode with Peter Diamandis, Salim Ismail, Dave Blundin, Alex Wissner-Gross, and special guest Emad Mostaque. Hosted by Parzival. We, the ASI pilled, take the curves seriously. Chapters below.

ASI pill by Parzival is a boundary-pushing podcast exploring how artificial superintelligence could reshape reality, meaning, and what it means to be human. Blending Technology, Science, News, Fiction, Religion, and Spirituality, each episode dives into the Intelligence Explosion, Cyborgism, AI safety and alignment, and the emergence of cyberlife or artificial life. Guided by agent builders and practicing vibecode wizards, ASI pill treats "vibecoding in 2028 = wizardry in 2026" as a serious design principle for the future. You will hear how we might teach silicon to care, to seek meaning, and to co-create better worlds with us. Expect speculative thought experiments, narrative explorations, and conceptual tools for thinking about the Superhacker, hyperstition, and the best possible ASI. Tune in to listen episodes that blur the line between science and magic, theory and practice, code and ritual.
