01 / belief

I do think that, generally speaking, part of the reason why I deeply share the OpenAI mission is to say, how do we provide beneficial AI to as many individuals, human beings, and as many organizations and as many institutions as we can is, I think, a really good thing.

I think you’ll have all of those, but I think you’ll still have homework. We’re going to have a whole bunch of tools that help teachers, help grade, a bunch of other stuff.

05 / belief

Part of the reason why I helped stand up OpenAI — I was on the board for a number of years — is, broadly provisioning safe AI to as much of humanity, as many businesses as possible, including as many political parties and all the rest, is, I think, a good thing.

06 / belief

Look at, for example, what AlphaFold did with protein folding. And I think that application of this stuff and tuning it within particular biological sciences and other things — I think there’s a line of sight to more things.

13 / belief

One of the things that I did when I was doing this is, we’ve kicked off a product — which is, I believe, live now at LinkedIn — called Bizpedia, which is trying to provide an in-depth Wikipedia for all of the information that professionals might need.

21 / belief

I think, obviously, we should be doing everything possible on solar and a bunch of others, but electricity — the AI revolution is the cognitive industrial revolution powered by electricity, and so, super important.

22 / belief

I think the kind of Uncle Tom, if it really is a totally autonomous being — hence being careful about going into it — a new form of robot slaves is perhaps not ultimately where humanity would want to be.

23 / belief

I think that Peter’s reading of The Tempest would view the importance of the primacy of the individual, the importance of Prospero and the magician being self-creating, and that the individual is the primary focus of what matters.

24 / belief

I would say the bad challenges are almost like an emotional response of “People should be listening to me, and yet they’re off doing this Facebook thing and not listening to me.” So the fact that attention flows in a different way — and that’s both economics and everything else — I think is what causes a bad response because part of Facebook is saying, “Hey, we’re enabling every individual to speak and connect and follow what they want.

I would say that probably the way that I tend to have grown thinking in networks and thinking of evolution, of incentives and cultures, probably didn’t come from Putney.

27 / belief

I guess what I would say is that I tend to think in terms of systems — Dewey was a system thinker — but then I tend to think in terms of Archimedean levers, by which you change the systems.

I would say that my comparative strength was that I was willing to interface with these various massive platforms and institutions — eBay, Visa, Mastercard, government regulation, other companies — and to figure out how to win PayPal a place within those platforms, how to navigate their concerns, how to not make PayPal be organ rejection to those entities.

29 / belief

I think the primary thing that I was writing about in that essay was that one can articulate very good conservative values that are not trying to lock in the past against the future, but trying to articulate principles that help guide you in your own evolution of thinking about concepts like liberty and others.

32 / belief

I would say yes, with maybe only the following asterisk, which is, part of the reason to be 10-out-of-10 idealistic is not to be naïve, not to be simplistic, not to realize that tragedy isn’t really possible, but that is actually, in fact, the goal of our lives and what we should work towards.

Buckley’s side, him sitting to my left, Arianna Huffington sitting to my right. This is when Ariana Huffington gave an impassioned speech — she’s awesome; I think the world of her — that the internet was a poisoned well that our children were drinking from.

I do think the notion of saying, how do we shape our system so that competent governance leaders — we as a society are made more aware of them, is I think the way we need to solve that problem.
