The Twenty Minute VC (20VC): Venture Capital | Startup Funding | The Pitch
20VC: Reid Hoffman on The Trump Administration | Elon Musk and DOGE | The US Defence Budget, NATO and The War in Ukraine | China, Tariffs and TikTok | The Future of Chips, Nuclear Energy, Quantum Computing and Climate

And just along with my saying, the world is flat, expert opinion comes up and says, hey, by the way, if you're listening to this, you should also consider that expert opinion says this is totally false, right? And so it allows you freedom of speech, but it then allows a collective learning system. And it says, I would prefer that, but we need to get there through a democratic process.

I was never a client of Jeffrey Epstein's. I never had anything directly to do with Epstein. Everything I did was fundraising for MIT. My mistake, which I publicly apologize for, is I relied on MIT's vetting. to say, hey, we vetted him and it's okay to do this. I obviously regret that. I've issued an apology about burnishing brands because the damage to victims and other kinds of things.

But of course, the modern age is such that these things get reported and so then have a media impulse. So you have to be responsive to that.

Yes, exactly. And the funny thing is, is the right wing says woke is cancel culture. And yet that's the shit they do. It's, of course, normally so destructive. I'm very careful about the things I say. I only say them when I have some ground for evidence that I can speak publicly to, that I can have other people validate why it is I'm saying it, right? That kind of thing.

So one of the things, in addition to quantum computing, which we already talked about, one of the things that I've been looking at is what other areas are people not paying nearly enough attention to that AI will make a huge difference for the human condition. And drug discovery is a really important one.

How you use drug discovery as we invent new drugs for really key things like cancer, those will make a huge difference to the quality of human life, to lives saved, and to the economics. So we spend an enormous amount of our economic budget on medicine, and we'll have a huge saving there. I've been working on the intersection of bio and computing for over a decade now.
