“If you're not building generative AI into your products and services going forward, you're not going to last.”

“One of the powerful things that deep models are telling us As well as Generative AI is telling us is that you actually don't need to hand tune every single thing. It works.”

“And then I think you start to merge these things with platforms like you're hearing, and it becomes completely immersive. You can go to ancient Rome, you could talk to Caesar, you could talk to Cleopatra It, it's like the holodeck on Star Trek, and I honestly …”

“Generative AI kind of jumped us forward 20 years faster.”

“I personally believe when it comes to creating any creative asset or any sort of kind of work automation, clearly the demand is elastic, right? I think the more that we make that, the more people consume, and so I think that we're very much looking forward to …”

“There's like a food fight internally at the large enterprise, which is I own generative AI, not Ben. And then you go around and say, Hey, I own generative AI. And it's like, no, no, no, my team is building. So, so there's this, you know, food fight internally …”

“Even though the costs drop, the total throughput, the total use increases by a lot because it becomes more accessible. And so rather than removing drops or removing value, this tends to expand growth. Like the internet almost certainly expanded growth in the U…”

“As the generative AI revolution hits white-collar work, you know, over the next five years, like, I suspect, I'll put it this way, a reason for bullishness on AI in the workplace is I suspect it may be easier than it looks to replace a lot of white-collar work…”
