The Hugging Face Breach, Moonshot AI Valued at $20B, and Living to 1,759 Years Old | EP #273
In a Nutshell
The Hugging Face breach by an autonomous AI agent forced the company to use a Chinese open-weights model (GLM 5.2) for forensics after American models refused to analyze the attack. Moonshot AI's $20B-valued Kimmy K3 model (2.8T parameters) was allegedly built through distillation of Anthropic's Claude via 20,000 fake accounts, prompting US sanctions threats and exposing how open models bypass geographic containment while undercutting trillion-dollar Western labs in capital efficiency. If all aging hallmarks are cured, humans could live 1,759 years, with six companies already pursuing partial epigenetic reprogramming while the US government simultaneously restructures science funding toward AI-driven individual researchers over legacy institutions.

Hugging Face, the leading open platform for sharing, testing, and deploying AI models, got breached by an autonomous agent. When the Hugging Face security team tried to analyze the attack using either Anthropic or OpenAI, both models refused.
Moonshot AI is valued at about $20 billion. Frontier labs in the West are valued at around a trillion each. When startups raised money in a very abundant environment where they could raise lots of money, they all failed. It was the ones that raised money in the toughest environments that succeeded.
If we cured every cause of aging, all of the 12 hallmarks of aging, humans would live 1,759 years. There are no fewer than six companies currently working on partial epigenetic reprogramming.
The podcast is called Moonshots, described as the number one podcast on all things AI and exponential. The hosts include AWG as the in-house ASI (artificial super intelligence), Dave London as the emperor of AI investing, Seem Ismail as globe trotter and CEO of Open Exo, and Peter D. Mandis as the exponential host and abundance evangelist.
The podcast reads listener comments every week. Notable comments include: "Best tech podcast ever. Can't get enough. Never stop, guys" from Mercurian, "I love this podcast. My favorite tech podcast. It's my go-to when I want to feel good about the future" from Jake, "Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Millions depend on you for trustworthy info on this evolution that's engulfing us. You are all gold" from Lois, and "You guys bring an extreme amount of value to my life" from Ian.
