AI Technology

“Like, you have a new technology that's doing something a little bit worse than was previously done, but much cheaper, and so you get a lot of, suddenly, a lot of, like, low-quality outputs that are displacing previous high-quality outputs.”

“I think generalists, the ability to hire generalists who can harness this technology to do things is better. In the old days, you would have to hire somebody very specific specialists. Today, a generalist can learn a lot of things.”

“Given the pace of change of the technology, I really do feel that too much of our focus is being spent on mastering the technology and trying to understand what the heck we should be doing with these new releases, new models, new capabilities loop engineering,…”

“There's a shot that our children, none of them, nor their people they love will die of cancer.”

“There's still a lot of limits to this technology that humans are going to be filling a lot of gaps in the foreseeable future until we aren't, but I don't, I can't give you that timeline. What I'm certain is it is not in next year. It's not the year after”

“Actual diffusion of this technology into the real economy is tiny. It's like less than five percent.”

“My just fundamental point is like, we cannot assume that the goal is more productivity for everyone. There are fields and people where it is, but this technology is being designed by people who think that, and I think that could be its undoing.”

“The thing that was true about the kind of old incorrect idea was that they were way ahead of us in integrating their AI technology with their government, you know, on a kind of military basis, on a bureaucracy basis, you know, in all facets.”

“There are going to be a lot of companies and a lot of products and in fact, entire industries that are going to get built to basically actually help all of this technology actually reach real people.”

“We're going to see this real takeoff Of this technology and knowledge work over the next year.”

“If every single company in an industry has access to technology, I would say it's an imperative, not a competitive advantage.”

“This is the moment where perhaps if you have a competitive equilibrium, you can absorb this technology, use it. And you'll have this window where you can like actually like shuffle the deck.”

“We used to go off and say, you know, we're gonna do this design vision. We're gonna go off and make this like two year, five year, whatever, 10 year vision even. And we're gonna like point us towards something. But the way that the technology is changing now, …”

“I think that we are at a threshold of mathematical renaissance, which is to realize that there are so many unsolved problems that will currently take, say, researchers months to crack, or even technical lemmas in those really longstanding conjectures that we b…”

“What we're seeing a lot of is you add AI technology to American companies. They're now much more efficient. They don't need to outsource a lot of these more repetitive tasks. So I think the area that will be hit the hardest is probably abroad in places like In…”

“It seems to me much, much more likely That it's going to be a more diverse and dispersed technology than that. There's a lot of early evidence that some of the most useful and commercial Models are quite specific ones, are small specific ones.”

“AI as a technology Doesn't really offer an answer to the moats for most businesses. So if you're building AI, you know, for drones or legal or for whatever, the moat is more of a function of that industry.”

“We don't have all the answers of how it should be used. That's gonna come from people on the field.”

“We're dealing with magic here that we, I think, probably all would have thought was impossible five years ago, or certainly 10 years ago.”

“And I think it's a specific question you should ask them is like, first, Like if how much of the improvements could you get, like from like optimal solutions versus non-optimal solutions, right? And sometimes they were like, actually it's not much, right? And …”

“We've had 40 years of technology that extended our intellect and our minds. Right, but most of the human experience is actually emotional and it's subjective. Now we have a technology that extends our emotions, our subjective experience, and it can address tha…”

“AI technology just takes the average, tends to take the average of averages, and it minimizes the difference between its output and the average human-generated work, so that its AI images, video, and text will often appear uniform, and really that uniformity c…”

“I think it's more like a 10. I think, like, again, the technology's gonna run way ahead of the deployment of it, just because the deployment of it takes a long time.”

“We're not there from the technology standpoint, but I do think in the next two to three years, if I, you know, take the bait and like have to make a guess is the technology will get to a point where it will push the change management and policy makers to say l…”

“If I look at enterprises, still early, lot of hype, but very few enterprises. Can actually do anything with this technology”

“The universal adoption of this as a consumer technology and then bleeding into prosumer is, it exceeds anything I've ever experienced, and I think it is, it will just fundamentally change people's sort of daily pattern.”

“When you talk with your customers and you want to understand what are they trying to solve and how are we going to solve for it, you need to realize that there's a huge information gap between they fundamentally, most of them at least, 99%, don't fundamentally…”

“So I think that they're back to like, we're not the first mover company. We're the first integrator company. And they're gonna just sit back and watch the technology Mature a little bit more.”

“I do believe there is going to be at least a two X time expansion, three X time expansion as you take the simple Contact center queries and resolve them, you know, on a two to one basis, you know, for half the price using AI and you'll, and the AI company will…”

“Every single interface that I interact with, every single problem space that I'm trying to solve are going to be made easier by virtue of this new technology.”

“There's a lot of service based businesses that, you know, their agencies, consulting firms that do a service, a painful task for a business. You don't have to have humans do that anymore. You can now use technology to go and automate a lot of that stuff. And t…”

“I think it's actually a pretty bullish case for society adapting the technology because I think it's going to be, you know, consistent, slow progress. For quite some time, and society will have time to fully sort of acclimate to the technology that develops.”

“If you believe that there's some potential of some kind of conflict over Taiwan or other, some kind of other, like, hot conflict between the US and China then we really, the United States needs to ensure that we have the best possible AI technology to ensure t…”

“Only five percent of American businesses say that they are using AI technology to produce goods or services.”

“Well, because I think that we will never see mass unemployment of humans. I think that this technology is going to unlock more opportunities. It will let us do more as opposed to Scaling back what we do.”

“I just don't think this is the technology you want to just kind of keep close to the chest and hidden until it's like perfect.”

“I have gone back and forth on how much juice the technology has left, and now I'm back to the, it has lots of juice left, like the exponential continues for a while, and I think I was not clear on that for a long time.”

“The problem we were going to have was going to be whether we would have enough power to support this technology that was moving at a pace that, as you know, moves way faster than the electric utility industry.”

“At its core, this AI technology has the potential to be one of the greatest military assets that humanity has ever seen. Potentially even more of a military asset than nukes.”

“Majority of the people in the world are not using chatbots, they just think this is a bubble. They're gonna get really surprised that it's not a bubble, it's not overhyped, it's actually underhyped.”

“If it's existing employees and their existing workflows that, you know, AI technology is going to be sustaining and it's going to drive tremendous market cap for the incumbents.”

“So it's funny because like the excitement and hype about this technology versus us absorbing it and making it battle ready is a long, long distance. And so I don't, I'm hopefully, you know, portraying or representing that side of the equation, which it doesn't…”

“I think the scariest thing for me is you know, are we gonna you know, not figure out how to use this technology? Because I think we desperately need it. I think our world desperately needs more intelligence.”

“I actually think AI technology is super dangerous. Like I think it's going to completely fuck with our election cycle. I think it's like incredibly hard to tell what's real or not.”

“So rather than directly working on say medical research or something I think I've got a lot more leverage, like let's push AI technology and then, you know, that can help with a lot of the rest of it.”

“Next year it will settle, and then it'll go ubiquitous.”

“Humans will trust it anyway. They trust Google Maps. They trust all these things. And so it's good enough for humans to trust right now.”

“More on that, a bit of a moral imperative to make this technology available to everyone because we're now going to very narrow superhuman performance and everyone should have access to that.”

“Like, and I think you've never seen such a big chasm between regulatory body knowledge and, like, the actual technology itself. This worries me that they're not in a position to actually regulate with the main knowledge.”

“I don't think you can contain it. I don't think that this idea that we can put in place some regulatory constraints and say it's illegal to do this, Or, you know, try and, you know, create IP around it or protections around it is realistic at this state.”

“And the problem now is that there are some people talking about AI takeoff being so fast that, you know, you need to react to it really quickly. And I think that'll get us into trouble. Actually, if you're gonna force politicians To understand this technology …”

“Whether you pick this path of building AI technology to solve these shorter term problems, or you take an approach that, that is more geared towards general AI. Right now, where we stand, the types of problems that we have to solve are very similar. This notio…”

“I'm here to tell you as a CEO, it's not going to be your CEO, and it's not going to be your users, and it's not going to be your customers, and it's not going to be your government, because they ultimately don't know how this technology works, and they ultimat…”

“We are going to increasingly need to have a certain amount of nachos for our technologies, where these technologies might be doing things, might be doing activities that they might be making creations that are not our own, but we were the ones who ultimately p…”

“Nearly any question that requires visualizing how the world works will go well beyond the ability of any AI technology in existence today.”

“This is what the human brain does so incredibly well, and what our technology today is currently almost entirely unable to do.”
