This is Gavin Newsom · And, This Is Why Reid Hoffman Doesn’t Fear Artificial Intelligence · 19 Jun 2026 podcast

It's like an attack by a negative person who is willing to invent shit or build on what is a small thing to make it into a huge thing is one of the things that kind of flows through.

Now, I have the, you know, the fortune of knowing all of the head, like every head of all these labs.

And so I have a

pretty good sense of what their actual moral characters are and what the things are and many of them are good human beings that doesn't mean they're perfect right but they're good but it's a night i mean i want to pause on that because i mean objectively from your perspective many are good human beings yes because they've been i mean these guys really have been vilified across the spectrum yes uh and you know and uh perhaps more so even today with the first trillionaire being minted etc and all that issue which i want on that i didn't say all were good we'll get to

Maybe go specifically to that human being.

But this notion that most are good human beings, but they're also trapped by incentives, right?

I mean, we're all creatures of incentives.

And this notion of the incentive, as you suggest, to accelerate at peril, if it's not us, it will be someone else.

Wouldn't you rather the American stack in the context of what Jensen talks about in NVIDIA, this notion of the American stack with the American values to the extent possible.

But what, I mean, those incentives aren't necessarily, even with good people, for good behavior.

Yeah, so...

In any incentive system, you will get some good effects of it and some bad effects.

No incentive system is only good effects.

So, for example, you have an incentive system to try to make more money.

Well, it creates jobs and productivity, but you also do a whole bunch of other things.

So it's a blend, right?

And you get people selling cigarettes and other kinds of things.

So and so I think the incentive system, what you have to do is say, how do we tune the incentive system so that the major incentives mostly align with good outcomes?

Now, part of the reason why is you already noted the England versus Poland in the Industrial Revolution.

If we are the society that kind of has called the primary pole position and how AI does this next industrial revolution, which I think is going to be bigger than the previous industrial revolution.
