generative AI

“What are we going to be asking ourselves in like, 1020 years, 30 years? I think it's the realization that we'll look back and we'll look at this moment as in like, yeah, I mean, it was a natural transition and we needed it. It allowed us to do so many things t…”

“I think other people will arrive at that conclusion and like any other wave of enthusiasm, you'll see people abandon it as well as a technology.”

“And in reality, we've had a technology disruption. We've shifted to two very different architectures, diffusion-based models, which is a statistical physics model for ImageGen. And then on the language side, we moved to these large language models, which some …”

“I think it's going to impact productivity well beyond engineering. A lot of people are talking about, you know, making software development easier, but I'll give you some other examples like our marketing team, for example, created an entire library of animate…”

“The way I kind of see this trend of generative AI is that everything software is going to become a lot easier and lower barrier to entry, but the translation between software and atoms is still very hard.”

“You can't expect every engineer to go super deep to understand everything that's going on. But at the same time, if you keep generative AI just in a centralized team, it's not going to impact all of your products. So you really need the combo of the two to mak…”

“Almost everything that you think of images, video, you can ask this question, like for any situation where you're searching for something, trying to find something, It's relevant to ask, well, could I just create what it is that I have in my head? And so when …”

“I think it will be safe to say that in five years, almost all teachers will be using generative AI for lesson planning, grading, Progress reports, rubric creation.”

“So now every coder is not going to have an army of coding assistants. Every writer has a writing assistant. So people are gonna have to move, Into the managerial ranks quite quickly and figure out, okay, instead of being a coder, I'm now an architect. Instead …”

“I think, I don't think generative AI dramatically changes what was already going to happen to universities.”

“And at Khan Lab School, we've consistently seen it, you know, at least 1.5 to two grade levels in a year. And this is before, before generative AI.”

“五年後にはほとんどの教師が生成案を使って授業計画、採点、進行状況報告、評価基準作成を行うのは安全だと思います。小さい、すでに来年の後半にそれが実現する可能性があります。”

“I think there will be probably next year will be very interesting in US because I think this will be a place where everybody will just take whatever their toys have in toolbox and do it even just for kicks, right? Even if it's not malicious, although some play…”

“Early in markets, like when a new technology shifts and disrupts the whole market, you actually want to just do the easy stuff, right? Why do the hard stuff? There's so much low hanging fruit. Why don't you just go after the stuff? It's super easy. And my sort…”

“It started from sales and marketing. Like as soon as these came out from a horizontal perspective, I think it has an intersection between horizontal and vertical for every department, whether regulated or unregulated. There's like bottlenecks and content creat…”

“Inside the enterprise, folks want to be creative, but every time they think about efficiency gains inside their workflows. So how can I make my workflow better so I can invest back into my group? And then how can I make productivity better than I can make them…”

“Really what you're doing is you're taking services revenue, which is very people intensive and low margin, and you're converting it into higher margin software revenue, but less of it. So maybe you take that five trillion and you turn it into two trillion, But…”

“Most things aren't truly new capabilities. Most things are just like making certain things dramatically easier. There's the duality of that. There's the market expansion and more people can do this thing. And then there's a value contraction. Hey, you can do t…”

“What's exciting about all this technology, you know, that's one example, but there's so many of these kind of different things where just the ease of use and the accessibility opens up what previously was effectively just massive white space, right? It was cus…”

“Everybody's doing kind of something that looks like SAS pricing, and it's kind of done very crudely, and we are certainly no exception to that. But I don't know if this is right in the long term, and it strikes me as probably just a vestige of, it is the same …”

“As you move forward, generative AI honestly becomes one of the compute building blocks that you think about. You're going to need storage, you need compute, you need databases, you need inference, if you will, for your application, largely. And I think that's …”

“I'm not sure this is one job, but I'm really excited for automating the role of an analyst, especially back-office analysis, and not necessarily replacing, but sort of the Iron Man suit, you know, for analysts. If you think about the very superficially high-le…”

“And so I think there's a lot of that coming to where you should be able to create a mechanic once and then have it infinitely scale it in terms of levels.”

“If we give ourselves another couple, two, three years, the world's going to change. There's not going to be one paper There's not going to be one breakthrough in science, one breakthrough in engineering where generative AI isn't at the foundation of it. I'm fa…”

“Generative AI is one hell of a technology for emergence, which we're using for that in pretty cool ways these days, whether it's emerging new proteins or emerging new consumer products.”

“The artists are still here, but they are going so much faster. What artists could do before in like a month now, they can do in like a day. It's really unleashing their creativity because they're not spending their time on the mechanics of like, is this shadow…”

“I do think the agentic challenge is a much bigger challenge than the generative AI challenge.”

“One could say no matter how cheap it is to create assets, the expectation of quality from consumers goes up at exactly the same velocity.”
