Figuring Out with Raj Shamani
Sam Altman sits with Raj Shamani for a conversation that is less about AI products and more about how his mind works: the bets, the insecurities, the culture, and the costs. FULL COVERAGE: notes span the entire episode (transcript 0:03 to 1:07:42 of 1:08:00). Sponsor: Levi's is named as the episode's styling partner in the intro; the mushroom drink at the end is a host gift moment, not a stated sponsorship. Everything Altman says about markets, user numbers, OpenAI and other people is his claim as spoken on November 3, 2026; nothing here is business, investment or life advice. He says India is OpenAI's biggest market in the world by users, bigger than the US, and links India's optimism about AI to fast-growing economies that need products and services. He walks through the one insight he has reapplied his whole career - scale produces surprising superlinear returns - and how seeing neural networks improve with scale, years before scaling laws existed, led to starting OpenAI in 2015 when it was an extremely low-status thing to do. He takes Raj inside the August 2022 decision to bet the company on compute after GPT-4 finished training, months before the world saw it, and admits he would not have had the conviction if the model had been even a little less smart. He confirms he launched ChatGPT against the mood of his own leadership team, armed with two YC lessons: be embarrassed by your first version, and a small number of people who love the product beats a crowd that merely likes it (the internal prototype's retention was around 5%, but those users loved it). On power, he names two ways this goes wrong - loss of control to far more capable systems, or one actor concentrating too much power - and argues for pluralism: many competing AI efforts. He calls not taking equity in OpenAI a mistake in hindsight because it confused people about his motives, describes the culture that made roughly 700 employees threaten to resign when he was fired, explains why co-founders and colleagues left to build their own efforts (when stakes feel existential, people only trust themselves), and closes with what he wants to build next: AI that discovers new science, and why he is comfortable with his kids growing up in the world he is helping create.

Nikhil Kamath sits down in Silicon Valley with Nikesh Arora - chairman and CEO of Palo Alto Networks, formerly of Google and SoftBank - for a wide-ranging conversation that runs from an Air Force childhood in Ghaziabad (a lawyer father who taught integrity, a mother with a master's in math and Sanskrit) to the top of the cybersecurity industry. Arora explains why the attack surface keeps expanding (five billion people online, connected cars and humanoids next), why over $10 billion a year is extorted or ransomed in what he calls the lowest-conviction crime, and why most real hacks are still human error rather than quantum wizardry. The conversation turns to AI: agents as inference engines plus do-engines, why 75% of product development is really teaching users to talk to back-end databases (and why that layer dies), systems of record as the durable moat, the internet democratising information while AI democratises intelligence, and why the art is in wrapping models rather than building them. He also tells the personal story - the CAT exam he walked out of for a movie, 400+ rejection letters he still keeps, seven rejections from Fidelity before the eighth person hired him, lessons from Larry Page (product obsession) and Masa Son (all-in risk appetite) - and closes with his decade bet: long technology, short services.
