“The field of quantum computing is one of those other areas where we think in terms of fantastical ideas, this is a Jetsons thing, it's not a human thing, but there's increasing consensus that that technological problem will solve within our lifetime, in which case we're no longer talking about Moore's law traditionally defined, that chartable, predictable increase in computing power. We're talking about you know, the discovery of electricity versus the use of the flame for light.”

Ball: Build Compelling Social Products First, Not Consumer Computing Platforms
“We have this ongoing lesson that trying to build the next big platform in computing, especially on the consumer side, less so on the enterprise side, you shouldn't seek to do it.
And by that, I mean, there's this classic example of we've always known that a qu…”
Ball: Metaverse will exacerbate existing internet harms like disinformation and platform power
“I think we can fairly look at the state of the internet today and identify many problems, mis and disinformation, radicalization, toxicity, harassment, abuse. Data rights, data security, data literacy, platform power, platform regulation. And we can understand…”
Ball: Virtual world developers should pioneer 3D tools, not reinvent governance
“The enormity of what we want to build requires extraordinary trust in the system, extraordinary investment, and we actually have these frameworks we need not reinvent. We can iterate on, but even there, we should pioneer on the three D tools, not the societal …”
Ball: Web3 will supplement the future, not replace TCP/IP
“I'm not one of the revisionists that believes that we're going to strip out TCP IP and replace it with web three. But I do believe and am quite optimistic that parts of our future are going to be supplemented by these technologies. But I do think it's still a …”
