Do you think there's anybody smarter than you in the world?

Do you find that threatening?

So I don't understand, even if computers were smarter than people, why we should assume that that's a threat. Especially since they could easily be smarter but still available to us or under our control, which is basically how computers generally are.

It's a little bit like that line in the Oppenheimer movie where they contemplate whether the first time they set off a reaction, all matter on Earth is going to go up. I don't remember what the verb they used was for the chain reaction, right? Yeah, I guess... It's possible, but I personally don't think it's worth worrying about that. It's balancing opportunities and risk.

I think if you take any technology, there's opportunity and risk. I'll point at the car. They pollute and about 1.25 million people get killed every year around the world because of them. Despite that, I think they're a boon to humankind, very useful. Many of us love them. Those technical problems can be solved. I think they are becoming safer. I think they're becoming less polluting.

At least some of them are. Every technology you can name has a story like that in my opinion.

It was born of me being a contrarian. Yes. It's a symbol. Someone told me once that I was wearing one when I only had one or two. And they said, oh, those things are so old-fashioned. You can't wear that, Mark. And I stopped wearing them for about a week. And then I said, I'm not going to let them tell me what to do. And so every day since, pretty much. That was years ago. That was 20 years ago.

15 years ago, probably.
