And I was like, this is insane.

This is changing everything.

And that's exactly what's happened.

But at the beginning, every idea is really fragile.

Imagine the time and resources and attention and programmers and all that had to be poured in to make that happen when everyone else who had ever tried to build an AI had failed and it hadn't worked.

It just was like a mass.

It was almost a joke of like how much this is never going to happen.

And then all of a sudden it did.

The only reason it did was because people kept the hope alive and they bodyguarded that vision until it could become reality.

Every idea sounds stupid when you boil it down and when it's the first time you've ever heard it.

The example I give in my talk is democracy.

Totally changed the world.

And it's, by and large, a great idea.

And if you were the first person to come up with it, the king probably killed you.

right?

You're like, hey, what if instead of him telling us what to do, what if we kind of all decided the king's like, cut his head off, right?

So like at the beginning, an idea is really fragile, you got to give it a shot.

And the reason that's important, especially in an organization, is that every organization has a devil's advocate.

And even for individuals, we're often our own devil's advocate that we come up with a list of all the reasons that it won't work.

And we talk ourselves out of it.
