The Twenty Minute VC (20VC): Venture Capital | Startup Funding | The Pitch
20VC: Raising $500M To Compete in the Race for AGI | Will Scaling Laws Continue: Is Access to Compute Everything | Will Nvidia Continue To Dominate | The Biggest Bottlenecks in the Race for AGI with Eiso Kant, CTO @ Poolside

The world is finding a balance and the balance that I'd like to see that the world is, and I think it's moving towards it, is to regulate the end user application of AI. Just like we've regulated the end user applications of any type of technology before. It's not the database that does harm, you know, how it's used.

And so for me, I would love us for us to continue to hold companies massively accountable for the end use of their technology to users, to consumers. Less so trying to put limitations on how much compute you're allowed to train on. We're building tools that are closing this gap between human capabilities and machine intelligence. We are not building the Terminator.

So what do you think of DST's Yuri Milner? I really like Yuri. I got to know him through several occasions over the last year, but I never got to understand him until I read his book. Most people don't realize that Yuri has a book or a manifesto. You can find it online for free. And earlier you heard me reference to looking from one top of the mountain to the next.

And that's actually, it's a metaphor that I took from Yuri. And because I think what Yuri has stated and said is that the sheer importance of scientific progress, what he often refers to as humanity's story, right? We have this incredibly special thing on this tiny little blue marble in the universe that is so immensely large.

And I think he really embodied, you know, the notion of we cannot let that flame die out. To him and to Elon's credit, you know, sharing the fact that the world is that one of the ways of doing that is to become a spacefaring civilization.

He's been an investor that, from what I can see from the outside, that understood that huge technology waves were happening all over the world in different places. And he was a truly global investor. What he saw was happening in the US, he would invest in India, he would invest in Indonesia and across Asia and in all of these different places.
