Chamath Palihapitiya

It's important for people to understand that robotics is almost the foundation to be able to get the massive returns in the sectors that are mostly all here.

Knowledge workers are great.

And I think that the risk you have like with like I think this the form is like it's like you're saying it's changing, right?

There's like a ecosystem in a bubble when you live in a certain place talking a certain way.

In Silicon Valley, we only exist in the world of the Internet.

We don't build the kind of technologies that started the Silicon Valley.

And so this world of energy, of metal manufacturing, of mining, all these like sectors, defense, like they're just not.

And when I was starting the company, they were like taboo to talk about.

So you just don't think about the kind of applications and things you can use.

crazy to those verticals to go after.

You're exactly right.

And this is why, like, you think of like an incredible invention, like a humanoid robot.

And the first demo that me and you saw, right, was a folding laundry.

Oh, my goodness.

Like the like that.

That was the thing that, you know, I do when I go home.

So that's what a robot should do.

There's so many other important, like really important

applications to use this technology for and i live in pittsburgh right so i get to see a completely different world with a completely different little bubble um and then you know going obviously talking to ceos of energy companies all day like it changes your world and so like it really is an advantage and i encourage a bunch of the startups that you're talking to you know to focus on like where the eyes are not where the conversations are not go out of the ecosystem and find a really important problem to solve

Yeah, that's right.
