And that is not a technological failure.

That is a policy failure.

And challenging people that we can actually build a very affordable healthcare system, not through government intervention, but through technological intervention, is one of the things that I spend a bunch of time on now.

And I'm constantly reminded that many people have been conditioned as children to think in incremental gains.

but actually we're approaching this exponential future.

And I really, really, really believe that we are tracking right now on a remarkable trajectory where we should start adding zeros to things in ways that are quite positive for humans, right?

Leap Academy with Ilana Golan

Start adding zeros to life expectancy, start adding zeros to net worth, start adding zeros to the speed at which we make education inexpensive.

My hot take on the future of work.

I have a lot.

When I speak, when I go to audiences, I will often ask an audience, I will say, please raise your hand if you think that AI is going to take your job.

And it's usually about 5% of the audience that raises their hand.

And then I say to people, please raise your hand if you think someone in this room will lose their job to AI.

And then about 50 to 60% of hands go up.

And I remind people that we are observing what we call the zombie apocalypse phenomenon.

Leap Academy with Ilana Golan

And the zombie apocalypse phenomenon says that most people believe they would survive a zombie apocalypse and their idiot neighbor would certainly die.

OpenAI's Former Head of GTM: What Leaders Get Wrong About AI & What’s Coming Next | Zack Kass | E142

And this is how we observe a lot of problems in the world.

Leap Academy with Ilana Golan

We talk about how everyone else is getting stupid, but we're getting smart.

We talk about how everyone else is a bad parent, but we're a good one.
