Redefining Chip Architecture with Arm CEO Rene Haas

Sep 3, 2026 · 37:07

Arm CEO Rene Haas argues that the CPU, not the accelerator, remains the heart of every system: AI workloads still depend on microprocessors to orchestrate tokens, so Arm moved from licensing IP to building full compute subsystems, including the Arm AGI CPU for Meta. He says the shift was driven by customers like Meta who wanted complete solutions rather than components, and that Arm's design wins in smartphones, data centers and automobiles prove the model. Haas contends supply constraints in memory, substrates and advanced packaging will throttle industry growth for three to five years, making US fab capacity a national-security priority. He predicts AI will become a utility embedded in every device, from edge sensors to robots, and that fears of job loss are overstated because electricians, engineers and skilled tradespeople will be needed in greater numbers to build out data centers, fabs and the physical infrastructure AI requires.

Building an Autonomous Delivery Experience with DoorDash Co-Founders Andy Fang and Stanley Tang

Jul 23, 2026 · 49:20

DoorDash co-founders Andy Fang and Stanley Tang explain how they are building an autonomous delivery ecosystem with their in-house robot Dot, which has operated at L4 autonomy in Phoenix for over two years, weighing 300 pounds and traveling 20 mph. They discuss how Ask DoorDash, a natural-language interface, drives 50% of restaurant trajectories to new places and 40% larger grocery basket sizes. The founders argue that a multimodal strategy—using Dot for 3-5 mile suburban deliveries, drones for rural areas, and Dashers for complex orders—is key, and that despite autonomy, DoorDash will have more Dashers in 10 years due to 25% annual growth and 9 million active Dashers. They emphasize that their advantage comes from combining world-class operations with real-world data from 10 billion deliveries, solving the first and last 100 feet problem that general-purpose autonomy companies overlook.

Travel Through the Lens of AI with with Booking.com CEO Glenn Fogel

Jul 9, 2026 · 41:05

Booking Holdings CEO Glenn Fogel tells Elad Gil how he rode Priceline from the dot-com bust to a 1000x gain, arguing AI is a tool, not a threat, to travel. Fogel, who joined a week before the Nasdaq peaked, recalls the stock falling to $1 before a reverse split, and sees the same boom-bust pattern in AI. He shows how agentic tools like Priceline's Penny handle complex trips and cut customer service costs 10% per contact, while Booking invests $700 million in AI and tech. Yet he says there are no moats: scale like 8.6 million alternative accommodation listings only helps, and constant innovation is the only defense. He defends returning cash to shareholders—40% of shares bought back in a dozen years—and warns that AI job displacement demands upskilling, not rejection of technology.
