John Werner is the Founder and CEO of Imagination in Action and a Managing Director at Link Ventures. Below is a transcript of our recent conversation, recorded on December 9, 2025, which has been lightly edited for clarity.
Yesterday, the bottom fell out of software stocks. Those of us who religiously listen to Dr. AWG were warned a month ago that 'meat-written' software was 'cooked', and those of us who listen CLOSELY to the Great Lobster, took his advice and got out of all software stock. Another reason to follow every word uttered by this genius. Thank you AWG!
I’m far from understanding disassembling planets. Once you go past predicting solving big problems, my understanding of your discussion fogs. I’ll keep trying.
I have to say I really appreciate your daily comments. I first learned about you from moonshots. You have a lot of great ideas. I'm an entrepreneur with lots of time on my hands and due to agentic agents, I can create anything software related in less than a week it's truly amazing. I can remember when Android phones first came out, I spent 6 months learning Java to write apps. now it literally took me two days to write a fully working demo.... crazy!

Curious what your thoughts are on the effects on our ocean tides if the moon were disassembled? Seems like that could have unintended consequences.

Foundation problem for most advanced ai
Solve the ftl problem
Or we are doomed to wander in our own solar system
Irrelevant to the larger universe
Dr AWG, Please share any of your past interview transcripts for interviews done with relatively small audience and\or hard to find online.
Will see what I can do!
