E224 • Apr 19, 2025 • 99 mins

In this episode, Tim Dillon dives into US-China trade, focusing on technology and NVIDIA export restrictions. The discussion touches on Trump's trade policies, the gig economy, AI, and chip sales. Harvard's funding, meritocracy, and free speech issues are explored, including DEI's impact on power structures and comedy. The episode covers Hollywood's content changes, Chamath's Federal Reserve appointment, the Ukraine war, and media narratives. Friedberg shares insights, and the science corner highlights mitochondrial health. The episode wraps up with talk of George Clooney, White Lotus, and podcast crossover ideas.

Key Points

  • NVIDIA's export restrictions on AI chips to China have sparked a debate on whether the U.S. should control sensitive technologies to prevent China's advancement or risk accelerating their self-reliance in chip manufacturing.
  • Harvard's refusal to comply with federal demands to eliminate DEI programs has led to a potential revocation of their tax-exempt status, raising questions about the role of federal funding and ideological diversity in higher education.
  • Recent advancements in mitochondrial therapy research suggest promising new treatments for a variety of diseases, potentially revolutionizing how we address conditions related to aging and cellular dysfunction.
