There are lots and lots of issues

It feels like we're all in our own ships in the ocean and we're not talking to each other.

In our hunger for connectivity and connection, these tools make us lonelier.

We've got to fix that, right?

But these are fixable problems.

They don't require new physics.

They don't require new discoveries.

We just have to decide.

So when I look at this future, I want to be clear that the arrival of this intelligence

both at the AI level, the AGI, which is general intelligence, and then superintelligence, is the most important thing that's going to happen in about 500 years, maybe 1,000 years in human society, and it's happening in our lifetime.

So don't screw it up!
