Socialists Sweep NYC, China Catches Up in Coding, AI Memory Crunch, Micron's Blowout Quarter

E278 • Jun 26, 2026 • 102 mins

In this episode, Jason Calacanis, Travis Kalanick, Gavin Baker, Chamath Palihapitiya, and David Sacks tackle hot topics including NYC mayor Mondami, the DSA, and AI as an economic equalizer. They explore the societal immune system, the influence of communism and socialism, and generational disillusionment with the DSA. The group debates a potential social media ban for minors and critiques communism and progressive policies. They also discuss shifting views on Israel in the Democratic Party, China's open-source AI progress, US responses, AI hardware challenges, upcoming IPOs, and Anthropic's valuation, concluding with Gavin Baker's art piece.

Key Points

  • AI is becoming a significant leveling force for economic equality, but the tech industry's poor representation of its benefits is leading to increased skepticism and political backlash.
  • The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are gaining substantial influence within the Democratic Party, with a platform that includes radical changes to the U.S. political and economic systems, posing significant challenges for traditional Democratic leadership.
  • China's advancements in open-source AI models, such as GLM 5.2, are rapidly closing the gap with U.S. frontier models, emphasizing the urgent need for the U.S. to accelerate its AI development and deployment strategies to maintain a competitive edge.
