[Anish Acharya @illscience]

"We're tool builders. And every tool that we've ever built has helped us progress as a human species or individually, whether it's art or the wheel or whatever.

And I can't believe the scale at which we're at now. It's absolutely unbelievable. And I think what's shocking to me is that the collective has not caught on yet."

lots of fun chatting with @signulll!

[Lex Fridman @lexfridman]

Here's my conversation with Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, the most valuable & one of the most influential companies in the history of human civilization. It is the engine powering the AI revolution.

This was a fascinating & inspiring conversation, in parts super-technical on engineering of every part of the AI stack, memory, power, supply chain (TSMC, ASML, etc), in parts about leadership & psychology, and in parts personal & philosophical about life, consciousness, mortality, and human nature.

It's here on X in full and is up everywhere else (see comment).
