We need to be able to disagree with people in part and appreciate and respect the parts of them that are good.

And I think I've already seen people read this book who were deep Elon skeptics and really update, enrich their understanding of why he does what he does, how he thinks, what he does it for.

and uh there's already a few of the amazon reviews honestly that that say that and people that came in really close-minded and an elon fan sort of in their life like gifted this book to them and just said like just read it just give it a page few pages tell me what you disagree with in this book like just you're an open-minded person i know you to be reasonable this person is not like you know the the pure evil that the headlines are claiming so please just give it a chance give it a read and and see what you think and we can talk about it and i'm

I'm so encouraged to see some of that open-minded, sane center having that conversation again.

That's not the goal of the book, but my soul is encouraged that that happens sometimes.

I would be working on nanotechnology.

I think that's when I asked myself that kind of, what important thing is nobody working on?

I think energy, a lot of people are working on it, but it's still underrated.

The thing that I just do not see enough time, talent, money, and energy going into in the venture and tech community is nanotechnology.

And I think the combination of AI and CRISPR is going to really create this massive...

sort of wave breakthrough that's going to happen over the next couple of decades.

And so I think in the same way that if you were really smart about getting really smart about machine learning and reinforcement learning and AI over the past, you know, 10, 20 years, this is your moment to get insanely rich and be like the center of everything and solve all these incredible problems.

I think that moment is coming.

It's hard to predict when, but that moment is coming in the next 10 or 20 years in, you know, in biology, nanotechnology, genetics.

No, I'm more, I'm much, I'm very optimistic, like maybe to a fall.

I'm not an AI doomer.

I'm worried.

The thing that worries me the most is what a small number of unhinged, insane humans will do with AI, right?

Like high leverage terrorism, basically, or like extremists empowered by AI.

That's what worries me.
