Memorable Quotes

"When machines and AI are creating art and music, how do we think about credit? How do we think about copyright?"

"The earlier we begin having these kind of really philosophical conversations as a society, the better we're gonna be because when people are already losing their jobs for all these kinds of things, a huge swath of the population, then it's already too late. So we need to really be having these conversations right now."

"In technology we have to kind've actually move a little bit away from this kind of traditional engineering mindset and move almost towards a biological mindset and then take some of the ideas of how biologists might query complex biological systems and use them even for our own technological systems."

"I happen to be a big believer of when you're dealing with a complex system that doesn't necessarily do what you intend for it to do, you begin tinkering with it and kind of slowly but surely and iteratively changing that system to kinda get it closer to what you want. Because if you scrap the thing and start from scratch your gonna end up with another really large, complex system that you might understand even less."

"I can see okay we have the world now kind of on the edge of maybe huge amount of automation, loss of jobs. And then maybe in several hundred years we're gonna be in this kind of like wonderful post scarcity utopia. But between now and then there could be a huge amount of disruption."
