Hot Chips
A couple months ago, during one of the first of this season’s ungodly heat
waves, I got in the car and headed south on the Parkway for a meeting I’d
been looking forward to for some time. The nascent artificial intelligence
industry is poised to transform our economy and culture unlike anything
since perhaps the Marshall Plan—and, frankly, that may be an insufficient
example. According to Crunchbase, the sector brought in $44 billion in fresh
venture capital during the fourth quarter of 2024—a staggering sum until you
consider that the number escalated to $60 billion in the first quarter of
this calendar year. Nvidia, the chip maker that remained largely anonymous
for its first two decades in the public market, just achieved an astonishing
$4 trillion market capitalization, the first-ever company to do so. And
throughout this extraordinary investment cycle, which crossed over into the
mainstream with the socialization of ChatGPT, I’d been trying to find a
domain expert to narrate the revolution for Puck. Finally, I’d found my guy.
I’d first come across Ian Krietzberg through an email product called The
Deep View, where he served as editor-in-chief and sole creator.
Refreshingly, Ian presented a prescient and inside-voice vision of this
unprecedented moment: He had an academic’s grasp of the technology, and yet
his work—focused on highlighting the perspectives of actual scientists—was
engaging to professionals from adjacent fields, like my own. Indeed, so much
of the agita around A.I. is superficial, and reflects the broader societal
illiteracy regarding both the science underpinning the technology and the
people at the frontier of the industry. Considering his outsize role in
shaping the business, Sam Altman has become a truly imprecise caricature. I
thought Ian would be the perfect writer to convey the far more nuanced
reality.
So I reached out and arranged to meet him one late spring morning alongside
my partner Sarah Personette, the C.E.O. of Puck. For various reasons of
geographical compromise, we settled on a seemingly random location in
Holmdel, New Jersey—a town I knew only from Richard Ford novels. That
morning, I plugged the address into Waze and didn’t give it a second
thought. And yet, as I exited the Parkway and navigated the backroads of
Holmdel—cute town, by the way—I soon realized that we were, hilariously and
discomfittingly, set to meet at the old Bell Labs building. A 2
million-square-foot mirrored colossus, it is perhaps the last great building
designed by Eero Saarinen, but it’s probably more familiar to modern
audiences as the haunting office complex from Severance. Naturally, it has
since been retrofitted into a suburban mall of sorts. What a perfectly
chilling place to discuss the future of this technology. I had to laugh.
In person, Ian was as charming and thoughtful as he appeared in his work.
Unlike so many domain experts in this A.I. space, he didn’t have a religious
view about the future or particular companies. The technology was going to
usher in profound changes, of course, but it was foolhardy to overpredict,
rather than focus on the actual work being done. We were sold.
The Hidden Layer, Ian’s private email on the A.I. race, debuted this week,
and I behoove you to sign up, whether or not you work in Silicon Valley,
live in fear of a bot coming for your job, or simply worry that you have an
untested grasp of the companies and characters occupying the space. One of
the delights of Ian’s work, after all, is that he comes at the industry from
various angles. In The A.I. Moratorium War Is Just Beginning, he previewed
the extraordinary lobbying battle between our trillion-dollar tech companies
and Congress, which recently crescendoed in a stunning reversal in the Big
Beautiful Bill. And in Born to Runway, he chatted with the trailblazing
co-founder of Runway AI, the pioneering video- and image-generation company,
about his “world model challenges.” Both pieces are worthy of your time.
Indeed, Runway has kept many executives and creatives in the entertainment
industry up at night, but they may exact some measure of revenge in the end.
Earlier this week, my partner Matt Belloni got his hands on Artificial, the
Luca Guadagnino–directed, Andrew Garfield–ledproject focused on Altman’s
improbable and temporary ouster at OpenAI. Is this A.I.’s Social Network
moment? Perhaps. But Matt offered a more searing insight. “Back when Sony
greenlit Social Network in 2009, the thought of a digital upstart being more
powerful, legally or politically, than a Hollywood movie studio connected to
a global consumer electronics behemoth seemed silly,” Matt wrote. “I
remember talking with Sony’s general counsel at the time, and the feeling
toward Facebook was, essentially, You want to come at us? Go ahead. That’s
how most studios used to act when their product was challenged.”
Now, of course, things have changed. OpenAI closed on a $40 billion round
earlier this year and now has a $300 billion valuation. Paramount, for its
part, seems likely to transition to the embrace of the Ellisons and their
cloud computing fortune for $8 billion. And yet the future of this
technology still remains an open question. It’s perhaps the greatest story
of our time, and precisely what you should expect, more than ever, from
Puck.
Have a great weekend,
Jon

the first of this season=E2=80=99s ungodly heat waves, I got in
the car and headed south on the Parkway for a meeting I=E2=80=99d been =
looking forward to for some time. The nascent artificial intelligence =
industry is poised to transform our economy and culture unlike anything =
since perhaps the Marshall Plan=E2=80=94and, frankly, that may be an =
insufficient example. According to Crunchbase, the sector brought in<em> =
$44 billion</em> in fresh venture capital during the fourth quarter of =
2024=E2=80=94a staggering sum until you consider that the number =
escalated to <em>$60 billion
</em>in the first quarter of this calendar year. Nvidia, the chip maker =
that remained largely anonymous for its first two decades in the public =
market, just achieved an astonishing <em>$4 trillion </em>market =
capitalization, the first-ever company to do so. And throughout this =
extraordinary investment cycle, which crossed over into the mainstream =
with the socialization of ChatGPT, I=E2=80=99d been trying to find a =
domain expert to narrate the revolution for Puck. Finally, I=E2=80=99d =
found my guy.</p><p style=3D"margin:0;margin-bottom:0px;">=C2=A0</p><p =

<strong>Ian Krietzberg </strong>through an email product called The Deep =
View, where he served as editor-in-chief and sole creator. Refreshingly, =
Ian presented a prescient and inside-voice vision of this unprecedented =
moment: He had an academic=E2=80=99s grasp of the technology, and yet =
his work=E2=80=94focused on highlighting the perspectives of actual =
scientists=E2=80=94was engaging to professionals from
adjacent fields, like my own. Indeed, so much of the agita around A.I. =
is superficial, and reflects the broader societal illiteracy regarding =
both the science underpinning the technology and the people at the =
frontier of the industry. Considering his outsize role in shaping the =
business, <strong>Sam Altman </strong>has become a truly imprecise =
caricature. I thought Ian would be the perfect writer to convey the far =
more nuanced reality.</p><p =
style=3D"margin:0;margin-bottom:0px;">=C2=A0</p><p =
style=3D"margin:0;margin-bottom:0px;">So I reached out and arranged to =
meet him one late spring morning alongside my partner <strong>Sarah =
Personette</strong>, the C.E.O. of Puck. For various reasons of =
geographical compromise, we settled on a seemingly random location in =
Holmdel, New Jersey=E2=80=94a town I knew only from <strong>Richard Ford =
</strong>novels. That morning, I plugged the address into Waze and =
didn=E2=80=99t give it a second thought. And yet, as I exited the =
Parkway and navigated the backroads of
Holmdel=E2=80=94cute town, by the way=E2=80=94I soon realized that we =
were, hilariously and discomfittingly, set to meet at the old Bell Labs =
building. A 2 million-square-foot mirrored colossus, it is perhaps the =
last great building designed by <strong>Eero Saarinen</strong>, but =
it=E2=80=99s probably more familiar to modern audiences as the haunting =
office complex from <em>Severance</em>. Naturally, it has since been =
retrofitted into a suburban mall of sorts. What a perfectly chilling =
place to discuss the future of this technology. I had to laugh.</p><p =

=C2=A0</p><p style=3D"margin:0;margin-bottom:0px;">In person, Ian was as =
charming and thoughtful as he appeared in his work. Unlike so many =
domain experts in this A.I. space, he didn=E2=80=99t have a religious =
view about the future or particular companies. The technology was going =
to usher in profound changes, of course, but it was foolhardy to =
overpredict, rather than focus on the actual work being done. We were =
