You have no excuse if you've got an interesting idea.

You can now create anything that you can think of.

The models can now solve problems that humans have never solved before, going beyond the frontier of human knowledge.

That's how AI, I think, and AGI will really change our lives.

Why not try and accelerate science, bring about the science of 2050, but in 2030 instead?

Yeah, number one advice, marry up.

It was my wife originally.

Actually, I was in grad school doing a physics degree.

And I met my now wife who was a Mayfield fellow at Stanford and actually worked at Andreessen for a little while.

And she was the one that kind of opened my eyes to everything, startups in the valley and all that.

I grew up in Seattle.

My dad was an engineer at Microsoft for a long time.

So I grew up programming.

But

still was just like, you know, math and physics, math and physics as I went through grad school.

And it was my wife, Elizabeth.

She introduced me to Twitter back in the day because she and Jessica Verrilli knew each other from Stanford.

And after seven years at Twitter as it grew,

She and Kevin Systrom were also Mayfield fellows together at Stanford.

So that's how that connection happened.
