Like, so, you know, going to the future, figuring out what, like in a world of AI, like what does that look like?

Yeah, and sometimes like when your friends are high in the dorm room and you have that conversation, it sounds really good.

It's not actually that good.

They should at least sleep for one night.

Yeah, I've seen a lot of those over the years.

Yeah, make sure it sinks in and you still think it's a good idea.

At least one night of sleep.

Yeah, look, I think the main thing is to just solve a problem.

And what tends to happen is when you go to solve a problem, particularly if it's a hard problem, you find some other problem that's more important.

I mean, and this is well known in scientific discovery, right?

Like,

Penicillin was like an accident.

They weren't trying to solve that one.

It just kind of rolled off of the side.

And then, by the way, like meta was an accident.

He was building Hot or Not.

And, you know, he kind of stumbled into like this much bigger idea.

And, you know, my friend Drew at Dropbox, you know, he was like literally tired of

having USB where he'd have to move his presentation from one thing to another.

He was just solving a problem for himself.
