58:104 wild AI predictions from a $39B tech founder
Episode 851 of My First Million. Sam Parr and Shaan Puri interview Brett Adcock, founder of Figure (humanoid robots), Hark (a new AI lab building an AI that uses computers like a human), Cover (weapon detection for schools), and previously Archer Aviation and Vettery. Adcock walks through why he believes AI will be 100 times bigger than the internet, why the phone and the laptop are the wrong interface for AI, and why intelligence, not manufacturing, is the binding constraint on humanoid robots. The hosts then audit the predictions he published on January 1st, 2026, one by one, and he grades each on track or slipping. He also details the AI talent market from the inside, including a $36 million Meta counteroffer that beat his own, and the fifteen years of near bankruptcy that preceded any of it.
