2025 Predictions with bestie Gavin Baker

[@badlater]

Wake me up when Sacks is back 🥱

[@leefa]

for real, i do not like any of their "besties"

[@Chexander]

Can't even watch a whole episode without Sacks. I'll come back if he returns

[@EdenVicary]

Hahaha

[@GrahamQuigley]

OK gentlemen, I'm at a long hard day, I like to unwind and watch my friends create some nice content for me, and I just want to say you folks in the comments are partially ruining it for me. No I'm joking you can't do that, but comments like this are ridiculous OK? I have a man crush on David Sacks as well, but I'm not gonna come here in the comments and write stuff like this to try to take away from the amazing content of these gentlemen are putting out. Please feel free to make comments to ask that smart mind to come back and give us content but spoiler alert. He's actually working hard to improve our country so perhaps just allow the man to work and enjoy the content while he's away ✨

[@priceandpride]

No thanks

[@justmeez2195]

I demand a full episode of Friedberg discussing UFOs

[@priceandpride]

[@jonathansvensson3716]

He should have hos own podcast as well

[@t.n.-js6ei]

I see UFO's every night. That doesn't mean or imply that I see "Flying Saucers" all that it means is the I see objects in the sky I can't identify, most are stars, but which star, ergo UNIDENTIFIED. It's only idiots that think everything that they see is an alien spacecraft. I remember reading a story from back in the 50's where an Air Force pilot was able to prove that the Sun was a UFO, by flying through a broken cloud cover.

[@stevemyers2092]

Maralargo - with his wife probably golfing and talking.

[@antman7673]

Okay the comments are full of it, so I try to give a more specific explanation to what David Sacks was bringing for me: -Sacks gave a reality check on some opinions -he had some good points -balanced out the mood, so it is not too positive -he was authentic -he said what was on his mind without much care for the optics of his opinion In essence a temporary replacement would be better suited by someone not overly positive and polished, but someone, who has similar political views, just says them and has experience in tech/investments and gets along with you. The last people are just too positive and careful.

[@EveryManandhisLizard]

Keith was a good fit- at least as an interim sub!

[@FelixTheCat69]

I'm with you. This will not be the same if he's not coming back. I think he's just busy right now. The end of year episode had him saying he finally appreciates being a part of the podcast, which told me he'd be back. Did I miss something?

[@hhgs6688]

My 2025 prediction: Eveytime Sacks isnt here, the top comment will be somewhat "i miss Sacks"

[@Robert-h1o5]

This podcast is great, but the echo chamber sycophancy around Sacks, Musk, etc. is ridiculous. Sacks spent every episode recently spewing his political program, which is not much different from some Fox News hosts. If that's what I wanted, I could just watch Fox. The substitutes at least talk about interesting things, like market predictions, UFOs, etc. Sacks is a very intelligent guy, but he is an idealogue, and not having to hear his one-track-mind political views is refreshing.

[@mevech]

@@Robert-h1o5 I see your point because that's how I feel about Jason.

[@lakingscrzy]

H1B biggest story of 2024 right at the tail and end crickets. I know it isnt comfortable but you need to address it. This is the only pod on my rotation I've been waiting to address it because it is aimed squarely at your industry. Don't hide; man up and discuss it.

[@kyleb.7371]

But that would potentially impact deal flow, which is the actual purpose of the podcast. This isn’t the first or 40x they have skirted around difficult discussions.

[@golfinguru11]

They won’t talk about it because they’d get crushed in the comments. You already know which side of the aisle they fall anyways.

[@kreek22]

What kind of a capitalist isn't going to bribe his way into a market full of discount price brains? What kind of a globalist empire isn't going to vampire suck the brains out of its colonies and its enemies? This game, now 60 years old, continues even after it is revealed to the sleepiest hoi polloi. It is the Iron Law of Oligarchy in operation.

[@mztdawn]

They won't, and you know why. . . Once more civil rights investigations are blown open by Harmeet putting a stop to woke DEI hiring, hopefully the situation self corrects, at least.

[@lindalee6594]

Yep. It's specifically why I tuned in today. The silence is deafening. Maybe they're holding off until Sacks is back on the pod?

Sacks’ brought wisdom, maturity, dry comic relief and seemed to be the glue. Have appreciated watching Chamath’s willingness to be authentic and have noticed most growth in him. Like a fine wine or recipe, all elements affect end result. Keep evolving guys, but enjoy the process or don’t do it. Obvious who enjoys this pod and who doesn’t.

[@amandacollyer645]

You guys have missed the vibe if you think the H-1B issue is going away.

[@nshs1234]

It will go away.. just like last time.. during trump's last admin there was a move to stop green-card/citizens-in-waiting spousal work permit to be revoked because the argument was that they are taking skilled jobs. One side lobbied to have it cancelled and one side lobbied to keep it. The court asked the admin to weigh in. The Trump admin said, we don't have enough info and need to gather more info. Basically, he dint take sides because both sides aided his efforts to presidency. The work permit still exists. Today, everyone has forgotten that issue. I certainly want to see triple the amount of vetting for H1Bs and student visas (higher test score requirement) which I think may happen with this admin.. hoping for the best.

[@mainecdesign]

Oh no its just low talent people trying to blame every external factor for their problems, no one cares is all

[@wannabecompounder]

What h1b issue?

[@boulderghost4457]

….yaaaaaawn….

[@wannabecompounder]

@@amandacollyer645 I read up on this and I am of indian origin, but born and bred in the UK. Quite simply it's an arms race between USA, China and India. For the US to stay in the lead, it needs to recruit the best from India, China and other places. People from these countries have skills, but due to cultural upbringing in my opinion, they aren't very commercially adept or good leaders. They aren't significantly smarter either, they've just been battle tested in the academic race more than others around the globe due to size of population (competition) and emphasis on academics. I don't fear them out competing me for a job. In general though I favour competition as it grows the pie through innovation. The NBA is better because Jokic and Wemby are pushing Ant and Tatum to better. Let them come, and let the US continue to win the championship through breaking down barriers while their own countries continue to stifle them. No one is moving to China or India to improve them. If you want to protect yourself, be better at accumulating assets. It ain't easy, but focus on that and stop complaining.

[@hy32906]

Love santa climbing stairs Jason 😂

[@GV2ZD]

I've been ALL IN since the beginning and have appreciated ALL 4 besties for what they each bring to the table - and often agree or disagree with one or the other. Sacks is a one-of-a-kind...As such, I was skeptical of Gavin at the beginning of this episode as my SWS (Sacks Withdrawal Syndrome) was flaring, but as his comfort level increased throughout this episode, he got better and better… my take by the end, is to give him the chair right now. I've liked a lot of the other guys that they have brought on, but really think this was the best overall balance of knowledge, opinion, energy. I strongly urge everyone to give him a chance because he has such a great mix and balance between all the other guys. No one can replace sacks, but I think the dynamic here adds a great dimensionality to the discussion and my money says that it only gets better and better from here if they bring him on here since the beginning Baker. Regardless of what they do, this is still hands-down, the best business pod out there.

[@tjcurt8260]

Why not call the guest bestie your “guestie”?

[@dawnfmEnthusiast]

yoooo that's clever

[@boydmason4476]

I think Friedberg”s comments on 2025 contrarian rise in socialism is very insightful, and dispels ones knee jerk reaction that his wealth may shelter him from awareness or consideration of the painful impacts many people feel from interim effects of paradigm policy shifts. Good form David, good form.

[@pd7157-y3x]

I agree we missed and are missing Sacks on every pod, but let's give due respect to the remaining three besties, they are putting great efforts to keep the ball rolling. This pod was amazing, deep dive into past, present and future predictions by besties and how did they score against them, great discussion on many different topics be it's business, politics or China. Gavin Baker was kind of a proxy for Sacks, I agree it's hard to fill Sacks shoes but I think he gave a fair shot to this pod. Besties. I know how much work goes behind each pod, and for that hats off to you all. I am also an avid reader/listener so I can connect the dots how much work is involved when you bring something on discussion table.

[@sgraika127]

I completely agree. Gavin strikes a remarkable balance between technical insight and boldness. As he continues to find his rhythm over the course of several episodes, I’m eager to see him step into a more confident, opinionated role that truly showcases his unique perspective. There’s immense potential here, and I’m excited to watch him shine as he grows into his stride.

[@morenamotsiri479]

Chamath brought the sauce. Really insightful perspective on predictions. I'm now committing to the rest of the podcast. I was a bit on the fence in the beginning. It takes some time be patient with this podcast. The besties will deliver.

Chamath, they found a papyrus that says how the pyramids were built. Jason touched on it. You may not believe it, but they actually floated the large stones. The utilized the flooded Nile to get the stones to the site, then they used chambers to float them up the sides. It's such an awesome engineering solution. Go read about it, it's pretty awesome.

[@energyben]

I agree with a lot of the commenters that it’s just not the same without Sacks, but I actually find the rotating weekly guesties provide some refreshing and different takes on issues. Like the last time this episode’s guests was on, he talked about how Elon had linked 100k GPUs, and comtextualised why that was so impressive. It was thoroughly interesting and perhaps not an angle that sacks would’ve known as much about. All-n pod is still my favourite biz podcast, I even don’t mind Jcal as much these days!
