“That's kind of cool. And then, especially when we figure out economic stuff and can remove some of these base level issues, survival issues, which we largely have in the developed world, and arguably even in the whole world, the blockers are typically political or these autocrats. We could feed everyone in the world easily right now. The blockers are usually political. That's exciting. And then the final thing is just working on it. The best way to predict a future is to invent it. So there's a way I want the web to work. And I work on it. It's worked. We got a third of the websites on this thing. That's cool. And that's forcing the proprietary people to open up more stuff. Like you have a worldview. And it's like you interview people who you want your readers to and listeners to listen to because they'll get influenced by it. I don't think you bring someone here that you thought was going to like mess up their mind or head them down the wrong direction.”

“Emergency. We're two weeks of food away from everyone just going crazy. And I think growing up in Houston through hurricanes and stuff. Saw some of these disaster situations, including when there was no power and how people came together was quite inspiring. So is there evil in the world? Yes. I mean, we see this with some of the autocratic leaders and things. But I would, especially of like regular people, not these crazy, evil, terrible people, I would feel pretty good about being teleported to any place in the world and talking to someone.”

“For this as well, it's just been inspired. I have now 15 godchildren. And so, like, seeing some of them and being able to be in their lives a bit. Been just so rewarding. So cool to see them like download new information. That whole thing. I mean, this is not hovel at all. By the way, every person I know as a parent has been saying this, like, Matt, you don't understand. I'm like, okay, maybe I'm starting to get it through my thick head a little bit. Why optimistic? I know that technology is somewhat neutral or can be a double-edged sword. It can be used for good and bad. I guess I have a core assumption to my optimism, which is a fundamental goodness of human nature. And this is actually a big split. Some people think humans are the Hobbesian life as nasty, brutish, and short. Or what's this rival stuff we read? Like Neil Strauss's book”

“Like for most of the past hundred years, you could predict a few things. There's colleges which have been around for many hundreds of years. Like there's a few things that have worked. I don't know if in 18 years you have a really super smart, precocious kid, you're going to want to send them to a Harvard or Princeton Any of these things. I think the world might have shifted so much. That's just like a radically different thing. That kind of makes me a little optimistic and curious about it”

“So, if we mess that up, we're going to lose this whole A big competitive advantage for us when you think about when the best people in the world want to send. If we mess that up, I think we have some other advantage geographic and resource wise, but like, yeah, that's a really important one. I had personally chosen not to have kids. I think it's seven years ago now, or six years ago. Like I'm not going to have kids the rest of my life. Sort of built my life around that. Been rethinking that somewhat. Maybe it's the right bold age of 40. Wow. Maybe it's also knowing that we're not going to have enough people in the world I think also I'm just a bit more optimistic about the future, especially with the AI stuff, that it's kind of exciting to think someone born today in 18 years, what are they doing?”

“Jump around a little bit. It's got two parts. One, I used to be worried that we were going to have to meet people on Earth. This great book, Kevin Kelly recommended called Empty Planet, basically says we're not going to have enough people. Population has already peaked in most developed countries. I think the U.S. is the only nuclear superpower with a growing population over the next 30 years.”

“The prompt engineering, the playing with it, learning how to learn is something I know you're very passionate about feels pretty timeless. And I'd probably point to that great work essay by Paul Graham. He talks a lot about ambition and how important it is and what you're doing. What's your drive? How are you going to leave a dent in the universe? Or do your best trying, you know? And I feel like that's really, really, really important. I'm actually very optimistic about future generations, which Tell you something, I changed my mind on”

“Maybe this is something I changed my mind on, but it is the one on my list I used to really advocate to learn to code. These can write pretty good code now. I've gone back and forth, so if you'd ask me like three months ago, I was like, nah, don't know them to code anymore. Now I think I'm back to it's worth to learn to code the same way it might be useful to learn a martial art if Even if you're not going to be defending yourself every day as like part of your livelihood. Like there's something intrinsically good studying the humanities, et cetera. So I think learning code can teach you to understand what's going on with computers in a way that I think in an AI world will also be very useful. I would tell kids to play with this stuff a ton.”

“No, it doesn't work. Humans are still way better at this stuff. Now is that going to be true in 18 months? Not sure. And that's when it starts to get quite disruptive. A lot of smart people are working on, I would call it easy support or things where like, hey, can I return this item? Can I get a refund, that sort of stuff? But we'll go to a lot more advanced. In the WordPress world, we're pretty close to where you'll just say, I want a website with e-commerce, make it look like a mix between tim.blog and seth.blog. and make it kind of anime colors or whatever it is.”

“It's going to get a lot weird. Impact of AI on most businesses is not that big yet. One obvious example is customer service. A lot of people talk about it is like, oh, this is, you know, you have these bots still able to do a lot of customer service. They're all pretty bad right now.

“Tokens parameters, yeah, yeah. So some of that's going up a lot, how we're learning from things is improving a lot. Some non GPU chip architectures, which could be very, very interesting are coming online, or non transformer ways of learning. Could be vastly more efficient. What I think it'll affect every day is we'll get small versions of this on our phones. So some really cool local and open source AI stuff. So something not people understand, but I definitely even want to predict it myself is how fast open source has caught up. We now have open source the Mistral models like GPT 3.5, maybe even GTP4 quality. Is kind of wild”

“Tell you what I kind of hate about it, which is that it's gotten me addicted to Twitter again, which I'd broken. Because there's the folks you hear of, you know, the Sam Altmans, the Greg Brockmans, et cetera. And there's just as interesting and good stuff on random anonymous Twitter accounts with like an anime avatar. And so it's a little ridiculous. Like a lot of the top researchers have these alts, they call them. Or other accounts will share more stuff and has redirected a lot of my reading. I follow a lot of these. You find out stuff like within hours of it happening and they link to a lot of scientific papers. So, this is an area I don't understand as well. So I've been reading a lot of papers and learning a lot about it.”

“It's like casting spells. It's ridiculous. And when you hear a good prompt, like you just said, it's like, oh, that's so cool. And it's kind of open source-ish in that, really, I guess you could have proprietary prompts. People do, but there's actually sites now where people buy and sell prompts.”

“1617, he had us teach each other a lot of things and know you really learn something when you have to teach it. He'd be like Scott or Iram teach about some macroeconomics concept. And we kind of rotate through that. And then a lot of practicing. We get together on weekends over the summer. We went to DC as like a summer program.

“This is more that the quizzing you is like. The five high school students. And that part was really fun because it's a little more improvisational. I love QA. Houston just weirdly ended up being one of the most competitive districts in the country. So the first year, we just got creamed. By the way, I went to arts high school. So we'd never won an academic competition ever. Like Beyonce went there. Robert Glass were like, we weren't known for academics.
