So my hope is that the kind of thing we saw in the movie Her, not the sci-fi aspects of it, but the more kind of mundane aspects of it where you give your device a command and it interprets it in a pretty nuanced way and does what you want it to do, right? Book flight tickets, for instance, or really build an app based on what you want it to look like.

So these are things that are potentially automatable, don't have like massively dubious societal consequences. Those are the things that I hope can happen.

I do find it interesting that NVIDIA itself has been trying to migrate really, really hard out of hardware into becoming a services company.

A lot of technologists kind of have a disdain for policy. They see policymakers as, well, morons, to put it bluntly. But I don't think that's the case. I think there are a lot of legitimate reasons why policy is very slow and doesn't often go in the way that a tech expert might want it to. And that's the 90% frustration. And the reason I say it's only 90% is that the other 10% is really worth it.

We really need policy. And despite how frustrating it is, we need a lot of tech experts in policy.

I have to say, I really like Jan LeCun's perspectives on various things, including his view that LLMs are, quote unquote, off-ramp to superintelligence that, you know, in other words, we need a lot more scientific breakthroughs, as well as tamping down the fears of super advanced AI.

It's weird for me to be saying this, but I have to say, think of the children. I'm never asked this because, and what I mean by that is that AI, the role of AI in kids' lives, kids who are born today, for instance, is going to be so profound. And it's something that technologists should be thinking about. Every parent should be thinking about.
