RAM Altman Wants Your RAM

Nick hosts solo again while Jack is home sick, and a cartoon Jack nods along in his window. He starts with Sam Altman's new nickname, "Ram Altman", after Sam said idle home memory belongs in data centers. Nick explains why he thinks owning some compute will matter, and how Amazon banned him after four DGX Spark orders. Next, Canva lays off 22% of its staff with one of the most generous exit packages yet, and why companies now care so much about their reputation. Then Opus 5.5 still leads all six new Artificial Analysis indexes, and Nick asks if Anthropic is already in recursive self-improvement. He finishes with your questions: doing the show without Jack, quantum and encryption, models that moralize, pausing the frontier, and US politics in the AI race.
