They feel more alone a lot of the time than they would like. So I think a lot of these things — things that today might have a little bit of stigma around them — over time, we'll find the vocabulary as a society to articulate why they are valuable, why the people who are doing them are rational for doing it, and how it is actually adding value to their lives.

We need to get to the point where the average quality of the hypotheses that the AI is generating is better than all the things above the line that we’re actually able to test that the best humans on the team have been able to do, before it will even be marginally useful for it. We'll get there I think pretty quickly.

I'm sure there will continue to be debates around this. But if you’re spending many billions of dollars training these models, I think asking the other companies — the huge ones that are similar in size and can easily afford to have a relationship with us — to talk to us before they use it seems like a pretty reasonable thing.

If two of us are physically together and we have a third friend who’s hologramming in, they can participate too. But in that world too — just as you don't want your physical space to be cluttered because it wears on you psychologically — I don't think people are going to want their digital-physical space to feel that way either.

Over time, Android has just gotten more and more closed. So if you're us, you need to worry that if we stop pushing the industry in this direction, all these other people… Maybe they’re only really doing it because they're trying to compete with us and the direction we’re pushing things.
