In this episode, Scotty enters crazy season construction while Matt preps for a founder mode Christmas, then they dissect Sam Altman's Code Red response to Google's dominance by hiring 40 Apple hardware engineers. The guys explore whether this signals an Apple acquisition setup or a play for the operating system layer, why Meta's Limitless acquisition with zero notice shows Zuckerberg scrambling without a clear vision, and Boom Supersonic's brilliant $300M pivot from jet turbines to natural gas energy for AI data centers. Plus: Why construction wages jumping 30% accelerates the robotics timeline, Travis Kalanick automating 300 bowls per hour at Cloud Kitchens, and the emerging Private Equity AI playbook of buying traditional businesses and injecting AI to 10x margins.Built 2 Scale | Episode 32TIMESTAMPS:0:00 Crazy Season Construction & Founder Mode Christmas2:57 Bill Ackman's "May I Meet You" Dating Advice Goes Viral7:10 Scotty's Stock Picks: Google Hits $4 Trillion8:28 Jensen on Joe Rogan: 4,000 Emails a Day, No Ice Baths11:15 OpenAI Code Red: Hiring 40 Apple Hardware Engineers15:38 Is Sam Setting Up an Apple Acquisition?21:01 Meta Acquires Limitless Pendant With Aggressive Privacy Changes23:41 Zuckerberg's Vision Problem vs Elon's Clarity33:51 Data Centers in Space: Unlimited Solar & Free Cooling38:52 Boom Supersonic's $300M Pivot: Jet Turbines to Energy46:33 Construction Wages Up 30% Thanks to Data Centers52:27 Travis Kalanick's Cloud Kitchens: 300 Bowls Per Hour1:00:34 Tool of the Week: Alloy Prototyping Changes Sales in 3 Minutes1:09:09 The Private Equity AI Playbook: Buy Businesses, Inject AI, 10x MarginsThis Episode Covers:OpenAI's hardware pivot hiring 40 Apple engineers as response to Google's model and compute advantageMeta acquiring Limitless with aggressive policy changes signaling Zuckerberg's lack of clear AI visionBoom Supersonic raising $300M by pivoting jet turbines into natural gas energy for AI compute bottleneckData centers moving to space for unlimited solar power, free cooling, and no environmental oppositionConstruction wages up 30% from data center demand accelerating automation and robotics investmentTravis Kalanick's Cloud Kitchens automating food at 300 bowls per hour with point solution robotsAlloy prototyping tool turning 3 hour design mockups into 3 minute AI powered iterationsThe Private Equity AI playbook: Acquire traditional businesses, inject AI logic, transform 10% margins into 30%KEY INSIGHTS:OpenAI's existential threat: Google has better models, cheaper TPU compute, and 100x more data. Hardware pivot either sets up Apple acquisition with Sam as CEO or prepares for OS layer competitionMeta's strategic confusion: Zuckerberg can't articulate clear five year vision like Elon does with multi planetary life and truth seeking AI. Scrambling with acquisitions instead of building coherent strategyBoom's antenna advantage: CEO Blake Scholl heard AI compute energy bottleneck and pivoted jet turbine tech to natural gas generation. Raised $300M solving bigger problem than supersonic flightSpace data centers unlock: Seven times more solar in orbit, free cooling, unlimited land, no NIMBY opposition. Elon's rocket monopoly plus Starlink bandwidth makes him infrastructure layer winnerWage surge validates robotics: 30% construction wage increases from data center labor demand creates bigger ROI case for automation than any efficiency argumentAlloy's 10x improvement: Non technical product managers mock interactive prototypes in 3 minutes vs 3 hours with Figma.
