I do think there is this danger that our society has made its peace with decline. I'd like to jolt them out of their complacency a little bit.

Men and machines are good at different things. People form plans and make decisions in complicated situations. We are less good at making sense of enormous amounts of data. Computers are exactly the opposite: they excel at efficient data processing but struggle to make basic judgments that would be simple for any human.

People are spending way too much time thinking about climate change, way too little thinking about AI.

Properly defined, a startup is the largest group of people you can convince of a plan to build a different future.

It is true that you can say that death is natural, but it is also natural to fight death. But if you stand up and say this is a big problem, we should do something about this, that makes people very uncomfortable, because they've made their peace with death.

There's absolutely no bubble in technology.

It's good to test yourself and develop your talents and ambitions as fully as you can and achieve greater success; but I think success is the feeling you get from a job well done, and the key thing is to do the work.

The future is limitless.
