@patrickbetdavid And let’s be honest.. throughout history, kids were you wealth, your employees in family business, your retirement, your protectors when they grow up … now it’s the opposite… they just take away from you w no guarantee of anything. So now they’re a choice
@kaizen000000000 Neil nailed it! amazed at people that don’t see the obvious. e.g. thunder used to kill and start fires and used to be called wrath of God until B. Franklin invented the rod that tamed it… they never look back to acknowledge how wrong it was and just keep pushing that frontier 😄
This life is fucking amazing. I'm so grateful to be alive, with all of you on this miracle of a planet.
Oh and I'm sorry if I fuck things up sometimes. I'm a flawed human. But I promise to do whatever I can to try to add some more understanding and love to this world.
After the world leader convos I get attacked intensely by all sides, and many disparate online communities. It has led to some really low points for me mentally. But I don't matter. I'm listening. I'll do better. And I'll try to find the strength to do more of them, always with rigor and backbone, seeking to truly understand. And despite accusations, I do extremely high amounts of research, sometimes 100+ hours for a conversation. Ask many of my previous guests. But when I come to the table, I put all that aside, and make it all about the other person. I don't ever try to sound smart. I know the vastness of my ignorance. But I'm trying. Sometimes I do fuck up and sound like a douche, or do something incredibly cringe. And I hate myself right after. But I'd rather fail and embarrass myself a million times, than not do what my heart says is right.
And besides world leaders, historians, CEOs, engineers, etc, this year I want to travel the world and talk to a lot more everyday people on and off the mic. This is something I've wanted to do for a long time.
Anyway this is written while on I'm on a 10 mile run, probably procrastinating, since to type I have to walk and not run 🤣
But I did just get stopped by a super smart and kind girl who works at a humanoid robotics company here. And she asked if she can give me a hug to thank me for being me. Sometimes the universe sends you a message that even a dumb dude like me can almost hear. I really needed that today. Thank you for the hug and the kindness 🙏 I'm just hoping she was real and I didn't just imagine that 🤣 Then again if I went full crazy might as well enjoy it!
Back to the run. I love you all! ❤️
@lexfridman Haha I really enjoyed reading this 🫶 … it was so authentic I could feel the vibe in my body - I am getting ready to go to bed and could almost feel the aliveness in my chest after a great run 🏃🏻♀️ on a sunny spring morning 😄… maybe not a great idea right b4 sleep 😴
If tech leaders don’t organize and get America on their side, the situation on the ground - as seen in the three charts below - will get worse before it gets better.
That, in turn, will tank the US economy since AI is responsible for much of our incremental GDP.
Someone needs to step up.
"Labor force growth has slowed significantly in the past two years and could be near-zero this year....If the unemployment rate is relatively constant, then negative job growth would be almost as likely as positive job growth in any given month:" Fed https://t.co/XLNvnSjfCs
Is the balance of global economic power beginning to shift?
Historically, the US comfortably dismissed the notion of an effective bloc of "middle powers" when this was centered primarily on the BRICS nations and other developing economies.
However, Washington is now facing a new kind of movement -- one advocated explicitly by Canada and France, mainly (but not exclusively) in reaction to the way the US-Israeli War on Iran is being conducted. The UK is increasingly being pulled into this movement.
Whether this will gain significant traction remains to be seen.
Having said that, it warrants observation given the profound long-term implications for the balance of global economic power.

The media makes it seem like cures are one breakthrough away. In reality, cures come from smaller breakthroughs and improvements made by the work of thousands of scientists, drug developers and doctors. We’re witnessing this evolution in real time with the GLP-1RAs
2026: AI models hit 10 trillion parameters
2028: Humanoid robots in every warehouse
2030: Bioprinted organs in transplant centers
2033: Longevity escape velocity achieved
We're not predicting the future. We're building it. Which timeline are YOU on?
Elon's announcement of the TeraFab is massive.
The goal is building 1 TW of AI compute per year...
Current global output: 20 GW
That's 50X the entire planet's current production...
5/ The founders getting consistent pipeline all did one thing first.
Not a better sequence or a bigger list.
They built a presence that does the selling before the conversation starts.
Here's exactly how you build it:
This 2 hour Stanford lecture on AI careers will teach you more about winning in the AI race than every piece of AI content you have scrolled past this year.
Bookmark this & give it 2 hours, no matter what. It'll be the most productive thing you could do this weekend.
