Nvidia just lost $600 billion in value in a single day—the largest single-stock drop in history—and all because of a Chinese AI startup called DeepSeek. But this isn’t just about Nvidia or AI. It’s about how America is battling its own assumptions about innovation, efficiency, and progress. In this video, I'll talk about (1) how DeepSeek built a groundbreaking AI model for just $6 million (2) why U.S. tech companies like Meta and OpenAI are spending billions—and if that’s sustainable (3) the impact of federal funding freezes and policy decisions on America’s innovation pipeline (4) why the U.S. might be stuck in a “cold war” with itself over how progress should look and (5) what this means for the future of AI, talent allocation, and global competition.DeepSeek isn’t just disrupting the AI industry; it’s forcing us to ask some hard questions about how we measure success.00:00 Intro00:58 Our Broader Challenges03:08 What Is DeepSeek?05:00 How did they do it?05:27 Innovation08:40 The State of Tech11:49 Financial Engineering12:58 Talent15:45 Final ThoughtsEIG paper: https://eig.org/exceptional-by-design/Music Used'Shadows and Dust' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au 'Nightfall' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au 'Incantation' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au'Shoulders Of Giants' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au 'Uprising' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au 'Anna's Theme' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au'Parasite' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au 'Shoulders Of Giants' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au DISCLAIMER: This video does not provide investment or economic advice and is not professional advice (legal, accounting, tax).  The owner of this content is not an investment advisor.  Discussion of any securities, trading, or markets is incidental and solely for entertainment purposes.  Nothing herein shall constitute a recommendation, investment advice, or an opinion on suitability.  The information in this video is provided as of the date of its initial release.  The owner of this video expressly disclaims all representations or warranties of accuracy.  The owner of this video claims all intellectual property rights, including copyrights, of and related to, this video.

I had questions. A lot of them. So I sat down with someone who might have answers - Mary Daly, President and CEO of the San Francisco Fed. She's one of the people actually making the decisions that affect your money. Five big things I wanted to understand: Why everything still feels so expensive What's really happening with jobs Why Wall Street and Main Street feel like different planets How the Fed makes these massive decisions Whether they can actually fix this00:00 Intro02:10 Some History07:30 Price Stability 10:33 The Fed Test11:05 The Price Problem18:47 The Labor Market22:52 The Path ForwardSourceshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laSqNpmCeQk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxTnOWDw31shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mL-OaWx9LrMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLyh5fSTLLwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7nj2X-yl_U&t=12shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVDE5Q74EhM&t=253shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=512mhHUoJgkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jheesQ8ot3ghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8b03af6b670https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTivWJvGYtIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuNCfkDtPNk📚 Want to learn more?

I follow the outline of the CRFB here. In this episode, we break down the economic policy proposals of two major candidates: Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. We analyze their plans on taxes, healthcare, education, housing, and more, providing insights into how each policy could impact the economy. We draw from multiple sources, including CRFB and Budget Model, to offer an objective comparison. Key topics discussed include tax cuts, social spending, border security, tariffs, and long-term economic stability.

Massive Longshoremen Strike: Implications for US Economy, Jobs, and AutomationThe international longshoremen's association has initiated a large-scale strike on the East and Gulf coasts of the United States, risking substantial economic activity and millions of jobs. In this episode, we discuss the demands of the 45,000 striking dock workers, the potential economic impact (up to $4 billion loss per day), and the broader consequences for the US economy amid the upcoming election, holiday season, and global tensions. Key points include the dock workers' push for higher wages and a ban on automation, the response from the United States Maritime Alliance, the Biden administration's stance, and the strike's potential to fuel inflation. Additionally, we explore the historical context of automation resistance and the need for future labor retraining programs. 00:00 ILA Strike01:10 What is a longshoremen?03:13 usmx04:37 Automation07:21 monetary policy08:56 role of luddite10:29 openai11:48 Worker support
