Velocity ($VEL) podcast mentions
Timestamped Velocity ($VEL) mentions across our podcast corpus.
What we like to do with our customers is have this upfront conversation around the design principles for constructability, for transportability, for configurability, right? And what this allows us to do for our customers is just the velocity. Now, this word velocity is a word that another hyperscale client uses with me, right? Like, how do you go faster? And it's not just to go faster for the sake of that, it's to do it with reliability, with quality, and so that when, these modules do end up at the site, we can install it faster, more seamlessly, and with higher reliability. So you are not spending time trying to troubleshoot the issues because things don't come together. Right.
Amy Chua · Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer · Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer 10/2/26 · 2026-10-02And Friedberg, when you look at this in terms of the speed and velocity it happened, and you're, I guess, on the president's Science and Technology Council now, maybe you could speak to how quickly this is all occurring and what the impact might be in terms of America's competitiveness, because you've had concerns, "Hey, maybe slowing down here means China catches up." So maybe you could talk a little bit to your prediction, if any, of the alignment here of all of the companies. Also of note, just for the audience, people are like, "Sam Altman's not there." His partner Greg was there. So Sam was doing, I guess, the launch of some new products they had. But OpenAI was obviously represented. So maybe you could talk a little bit about what you think impact— the impact this will have on maybe the American public and their view of AI.
Jason Calacanis · All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg · Trump's Super Intelligence Summit, AI Safety Accord, GDP Beats, Midterm Predictions · 2026-10-02If you want to scale in the modern era, look, I think there's a couple of angles to it. Number one is saying if you're trying to activate and pull deeper velocity at any of these retailers, which is ultimately— I mean, we talk about this with Lucy all the time, right? This is the hero metric is how fast you're pulling through these stores, understanding how to locally activate an audience, which Outer Signal can allow you to do in ways that Meta just can't. Like, look around these zip codes in Metro LA or in the middle of the country, it doesn't matter. We can actually drive hyper-targeted funnels and flows into store because we know who these people are and we know how they're different in these different markets. That's huge. We've also had probably hundreds of brands at this point both find retailers that were buying from them with their personal address.
Noah Friedman · TBPN · White House AI Accord, Model Welfare, Ken Griffindor School of Market Wizardry | Ali Golshan, Mike Intrator, Vlad Tenev, Pari Singh, Minna Song, Dev Ittycheria, Daragh Murphy, Noah Friedman · 2026-09-30But he was talking to the Beacon Hill study team at Lincoln Labs saying, hey, the Air Force has ruled out mass hysteria. We're seeing shit during, you know, nuclear sites, tests. Oh, by the way, in the White Sands, Holloman Air Force Base area, we caught multiple objects traveling an estimated 3,500 miles an hour. We can't rule out maybe some sort of meteor shower, but we're seeing a lot of weird shit moving at velocities that we don't know. And in the recording, it talks about like, we've ruled out, you know, foreign programs, etc. This is an internal recorded briefing between Lincoln Lab scientists and the Air Force that just got released in the recent tranche. And so that rules out a lot of human activity. And so the thought experiment or the kind of the path I lead people, it's like, okay, are UAP real? Well, of course, people have seen it, will be, you know, more inclined to saying yes.
David Grusch · The Joe Rogan Experience · #2560 - David Grusch · 2026-09-30Silicon Valley realized that coding agents could basically do anything on a computer. And for the last year, basically since Claude Code got good in Q4 2025, coding agents were all the rage. What we have not seen until now is broad consumer use of AI. Only 3% of Bank of America customers, for example, were were using paid AI services as of February 2026. There was a huge divergence in what AI was capable of doing at the beginning of this year and what the majority of Americans thought AI could do. Muse is the first real chance for a cutting-edge consumer agent to hit escape velocity. I'd like to note that Muse is not the first AI agent platform for consumers. A new startup called Instinct hit 100,000 users within 7 months of entering private beta. Instinct is an iMessage-based AI agent that can book flights, read your email, send follow-ups based on your calendar, and it has a bit of a cult following right now, and they're rumored to be raising more funding at a $10 billion valuation.
Jack Raines · The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway · Can Meta's Muse AI Agent Save You Money? · 2026-09-30Yeah, I'll often open ChatGPT and realize there's like a very important email that I need to respond to and like I didn't, it somehow like got mixed up and then you're like, you kind of wish it pinged you, right? Yeah. What can you say, any advice for, let's say, public company CEOs that want to maintain a startup's culture at scale, because that's something like, you know, OpenAI is still a private company, but the impression of seeing how this company works is that it's not just like, yeah, we act like a startup at scale. Like, it's actually like that. It's like incredibly scrappy. It's very small groups of people trying to do the impossible on impossible timelines. And something that, something that you're doing is, is working because it allows this like incredible velocity. It's not just the models.
Jordi Hays · TBPN · OpenAI DevDay | Sam Altman, Alexander Embiricos, Andrew Ambrosino, Peter Steinberger, Tibo Sottiaux, Kath Korevec, Casey Neistat · 2026-09-29You know, I think time will tell, but if history is any indication, this, this field is moving at an incredible velocity. You know, the conversations even just 6 months ago were vastly different than they are today. Now it's a national topic of conversation. We should welcome that. And in terms of self-regulation being sufficient, I think, you know, the companies are making strides in the right direction. And of course, the AI industry is driving the economy right now. And, you know, it's a multi-trillion-dollar industry. It's going to be decisive for the United States to be a leader in that industry if we're going to secure the 21st century for, for our values. And so we have to walk a very fine line between accelerating innovation and doing the right, the right safeguards. But I think in the limit, I don't think self-regulation will be sufficient. And the key conversation will become what is it that the government— what role should we expect the government to play in oversight of this industry?
Gabe Gutierrez · Meet the Press · Meet the Press NOW — September 28 · 2026-09-28They're never as clean as publicly traded stock portfolio. But Here's my point. Over a long period of time, say 15 or 20 years, if there's no macro-level life distortions, the direction and velocity of your net worth, that can tell a lot about someone. So when I think about my own returns and opportunity sets, I think less about what did this one portfolio return, and more as, is my total net worth compounding in a way that supports the life that I'm trying to build? And that tends to be a very different question. And, you know, I— that's why I think that net worth, while imperfect, it can be a very practical scorecard during the accumulation phase of, of your life.
David Fagan · The Investor's Podcast (We Study Billionaires) - The Investor’s Podcast Network · TIP849: Average Returns Can Still Make You Wealthy w/ David Fagan · 2026-09-27Yeah. So a concept called Hall effect thrusters, which are an amazing technology where you take a noble gas. So something for our case, xenon, that the densest stable one, but you can also use krypton. That's the common one in Starlinks, um, who also use electric propulsion. And you are applying and forcing an electron into this noble gas that doesn't really want it, and then giving it in a grid or an array where it can shed that electron. And that small gap between where it's given power and where it can shed the power, it travels incredibly fast. We're, we're not relativistic, but an incredibly really fast escape velocity that allows you to be highly efficient, but you're only doing it with a little propellant at a time. So it's a small thrust, it's a small push, but it's constant and you are going very far with each little push.
Adam Call · The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe · The Skeptics Guide #1107 - Sep 26 2026 · 2026-09-26And, and so you can't take the view that you're gonna talk to the government and talk your way into the solution you want. So the bottom line is if they're asking for pacing, they're gonna get the wrong velocity.
Steven Sinofsky · The a16z Show · Aaron Levie, Steven Sinofsky & Martin Casado: How Do You Secure a World of AI Agents? · 2026-09-26Yeah, so you'll pick up then the compute, you pick up the bandwidth, all that other stuff. But, Zach, the issue here, to Chamath's point, is the vertical language models, the small language models, are going to do 80 or 90% of the tasks that many corporations need. Then we get to AI sovereignty. Do you want your superintelligence— shout out President Trump, Trump-telligence, ChatGPT— we need people to use those models so they have sovereignty, so you're not giving your data to the frontier models so that they don't get that tip-of-the-spear superintelligence edge, which is why people are disengaging. Your thoughts on maybe this? Going to start to impact the velocity of Claude and OpenAI tokens? What does your business sense tell you, David Sachs?
Jason Calacanis · All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg · Anthropic IPO at Risk, Meta's Muse Pop, Token Prices Fall, Open Source Gains Share, Alignment Fails · 2026-09-26So Michael, given that inflation backdrop, how do you view kind of the yield environment out there? A lot of folks are saying It's not so much where the absolute yields are today, but maybe it's just the velocity with which yields have pushed higher here. How do you think about that?
Paul Sweeney · Bloomberg Surveillance · Bond Selloff Fades as Oil Cools; Trump-Xi Takeaways · 2026-09-25I do want to build a next-generation financial market, one that can capture and bring in a much broader set of people and that captures the speed and velocity at which things are moving. Kevin Hassett wrote about this a few years ago, but this idea that as society gets more and more complicated, the entropy in the system goes up, which means that the pricing of our traditional assets gets worse over time. Today, if you want to have a very good pricing of S&P or home prices or other asset prices, you have to have a very good view on AI. You have to have a very good view on geopolitical risk. You have to have a very good view on healthcare or new COVID or antivirus outbreaks. All these are independent dimensions that end up impacting our asset prices. There's a theory, which I think is being put in practice, that you have to have infinite markets to capture all these dimensions. To price them effectively. Having prediction markets on all these different questions will enable us to have a better gauge, lower the entropy in those questions, which inevitably lowers the entropy in our broader understanding of the world.
Tarek Mansoor · Freakonomics Radio · 688. When Is a Bet Not a Bet? · 2026-09-25It's the latter. And right now we had, obviously crude oil had an extraordinary run from basically $80 a barrel up to like $105 a barrel in a span of 2 weeks. It was, it was clearly overshot on the upside and there was lots of room for it to do some reversion. But here we are approaching a 50% retracement, a 50-day moving average. Which is a very typical ebb and flow correction, no different than what we saw in early August. And the, the bottom line is that the geopolitical situation is still highly suspect. We just heard it from Michael Every, and there's lots of room for this to continue to be at a very tight oil market. And the only way to deal with the substantially depleted global inventories is to, to allow some sort of demand destruction to happen. The question is, is that are we going to see a spike higher in oil that is going to clear the $100 hurdle with a velocity?
Patrick Ceresna · Macro Voices · MacroVoices #551 Michael Every: Decoding The Global Geopolitical Puzzle · 2026-09-24It seems like you have a number of incredible strengths, and I'm sure there are more, but there's the trend opportunity identification. There is recruitment of talent, capital formation, being able to raise money, in some cases a lot of money depending. And as you mentioned with DoubleClick, getting to 25 countries before the first is profitable because when a larger company wants to partner with you, they're going to want that global footprint and you raise the capital necessary to reach that critical mass, escape velocity, choose your metaphor. And I'm wondering how you think about that when in the, say, first 3 to 5 years of AlliCorp when you were founding companies, and some of them took longer, obviously MongoDB I think stands out as an example of that.
