Well, I mean, not for the society at large, but in individual lives, it certainly makes you more efficient.

I mean, when I remember to use it, their tasks that would have taken me over an hour, they'd take me four minutes.

That's an extraordinary time savings.

You can always take naps, Andrew.

What about if you were – here's my biggest worry right now about it.

I think it is my single biggest worry is I look at politicians and bureaucrats and most corporate leaders and how they've handled dealing with the negative sides of social media.

And they've been completely inept.

There's a massive consensus that we've needed to do more to protect children from some of the social media sites.

And when the government tries, they fail because they're not smart enough to do it.

They're not smart enough to preserve the benefits and override the corporate lobbyists.

I really worry about this.

David Sachs seems very smart, but he's for unfettered.

There's a strain of thought in the Democratic Party and the populist Republican Party that says there needs to be some guide rails here as this thing develops, as AI develops.

I just don't see anybody smarter.

Do you see people, I don't know if you are a fan of David Sachs' intellect, but do you see people in our society, whether they're academics or business people or government officials, do you see people who are smart enough, individuals you can name, to say, yeah, I trust them to figure out the right balance between freedom and protection?

Yeah.

Who, if you could just make someone president who's constitutionally eligible?

when Trump leaves.

Whoever Andrew Sullivan picks as president in January of 29, who would you pick?

They have to be constitutionally eligible, and you can't put them in a time machine and get the younger version.
