Anthropic Partners With SpaceX AI, Leopold’s $5.5B Bet, and the Singularity Economy | EP #255

This episode is a dense AI-and-abundance conversation about Anthropic’s explosive growth, compute shortages, SpaceX becoming a hyperscaler, Google’s orbital data-center ambitions, OpenAI’s super-app strategy, Claude’s legal and small-business “unhobbling,” and a long segment on UAP/UFO disclosure. It also weaves in alignment, privacy, AI personhood, and the idea that the singularity may become visible in space before it does on Earth.
