10th Floor

• Learning in a Superintelligent World Room FJack Arenas & Andrew EndicottAbout this session

  This topic is meant to explore how one should prepare for a future in which knowledge is a cheap commodity. What does it mean to learn? Is learning in general worth it, or is it better to simply rely on LLMs to learn for you? How should society prepare young people for the future?

• Buying Intelligence: Who Pays, Who Profits with AGI Room EAdi Goel & Miguel ArmazaAbout this session

  AI is one of the largest economic bets the world has ever made, with capital commitments that rival or exceed any prior tech cycle. The promise is real: productivity gains, scientific discovery, and entirely new categories of companies. But the industry says far more capital is still needed, and most of the returns are years away. Some communities are also pushing back on the physical footprint, from data centers to power and water. Where are we today, what is working, and what challenges should we expect over the next few years?

• Megafunds vs Everyone Else Room DJeff WeinsteinAbout this session

  Ten funds have raised the vast majority of LP capital in the last several years, whereas there are more venture funds than ever before. Megafunds increasingly play a different game that’s outside the normal definition of venture capital. How should funds, founders, and LPs operate in this new environment, and what are the risks?

• Where Should You Build? US or Everywhere Else Room COliver Beach & Ana MartinsAbout this session

  Since 2022, all roads have increasingly converged on the US in general and San Francisco in particular. Unlike prior years in which capital and innovation proliferated around the world, now the US seems to have monopolized attention for all things technology, venture, AI, etc. How should we think about it? It’s unclear where this leaves emerging markets or even developed non-US markets. But will it last? And how should investors and entrepreneurs approach decisions with these realities?
