“I think we're not far from all of our content or most of our content being entirely generated. The content we consume.”

“Not part of another editing suite, for sure.”

“Building on the web is, as you say, I would personally think the future, and so we built everything from the ground up to be web native.”

“If you compound how fast things are moving, we're going to get to a world really soon. We're going to be able to generate rich multimedia formats and audios and videos in almost real time.”

“I think there is a common misconception that the first way to think about images and videos and content and audio and all sorts of like multimedia things that you can generate with these models is that you're going to make the previous thing that we make, but …”

“I think in the speed of how things are moving, that's very transitory, and it's like a local maximum. Like, it won't matter how you generate things. It will matter that you can generate things.”

“A lot of them are going through an existential crisis of sorts. It was maybe a lot of things you were trying to solve and work are just going to be solved by training larger models.”

“If you think about this new category of things that you can do with computers, you can interact with them in natural, with natural language, you can think with them and reason with them, perhaps in the same way that we reason, then the type of interfaces and s…”

“Creative software really hasn't changed. If you think about, like, everything we use these days from non-linear editors to vector designs to image manipulation software were all primitives that were invented 20 years ago.”

“Sometimes the best research actually comes from engineers who want to step and try this thing called research because they come from with a much more pragmatic view of how the world works.”

“And actually, the best ideas I've seen were, like, from seven years ago, where people were not too, they were less risk averse in trying new things and weird things, because there wasn't, you were not trying to raise money for a company, or you weren't trying …”

“Now I see a lot of companies, we're trying the first things we tried five years ago. And we know where we're gonna go, and we know they're gonna fail because we were there before.”

“Actually, for me, LLMs happened or had a similar momentum, like, two and a half years ago, where, like, we started also building and seeing infrastructure being built around training and deploying language models, and then we expect the same thing to happen wi…”
