If you think that Congress can catch a train moving that fast and do something about it, you have never met a US senator, OK? They 're not exactly lickety-split type people.So -- I think the better move is to accelerate humanity.
Number one, our tech companies keep telling us things that we just don't believe. They keep saying, "Well, all this abundance, these robots are going to work over overtime, everything's going to be fine.It's going to be so much abundance. Everything's going to be fine." Nobody believes you.
The one thing you don't want to do is take somebody who already has nothing and then humiliate them. They become the most dangerous person in that prison.Even if they only weigh 100 pounds.
It would look like Andre Peart, who was formerly incarcerated, paired up with engineers, built something called Untapped Solutions. They built a LinkedIn for formerly incarcerated people, getting people off the street and employed.Now they 're deploying AI agents to help social workers.
It would look like Phaedra Ellis-Lamkins and Diana Frappier at Promise. They have built a billion-dollar company to help government not be more lethal, but more frugal and more helpful.It would look like Tadzio Smith, my buddy at Rapport, a company backed by Reid Hoffman that I'm supporting,
- And that's showing, throwing no shade on their colleague who did these cool experiments. They started by firing off an electron beam, which was actually wide enough to be treated as two separate beams.
- And that's showing, throwing no shade on their colleague who did these cool experiments. They shot up ultracold rubidium atoms into a tube-shaped vacuum chamber, at the top of which was a tungsten mass.
- And that's showing, throwing no shade on their colleague who did these cool experiments. They 're beautiful. We learn a lot.
- The Viking longships could average 70 to 120 miles a day. They could hit a place, raid it, drag off whoever they wanted, and get away before you could get your army there.That's just absolutely terrifying.
kill him by throwing him into a pit with vipers. They throw him in this and the snakes are biting him, but he's got his hairy breeches on, so it's not working. So, he's singing a hymn to Odinand he gets pulled out and he's asked why he's not dying and he explains, rather foolishly, that he has these hairy breeches. So, they take the
- And they are historical. They are, I mean, there's no, these were the names of Vikings who attacked and conquered England. They end up attacking Islamic Spain. They go all over Europe.- Well, for them, it sounds like glory in battle is really important.
- I think it's well done. My one quibble, Ragnar's brother is Rollo in the show, right? They weren't brothers. In fact, by some accounts, they were born 80 years apart.But as a storytelling device, I applaud that.
We are all kings." So they 're very like decentralized, tough. They only valued leaders who could prove that they had, they had won. You know, could give out the rings.- So flat organization, very meritocratic.
- Yeah. Yeah, that... I could not agree more. There are some problems with, they lead the charge in the First Crusade.
- Yeah. Yeah, that... I could not agree more. There are some problems with, They create the state of England. If you look at England before the Vikings arrive, there are seven, it's the Heptarchy, there are seven
- Yeah. Yeah, that... I could not agree more. There are some problems with, - They were a buffer.
- Yeah. Yeah, that... I could not agree more. There are some problems with, - They were a buffer, giving Europe this kind of vital time to develop the way it needed to develop.
- Yeah. Yeah, that... I could not agree more. There are some problems with, They got there in a canoe.
- Yeah. Yeah, that... I could not agree more. There are some problems with, They got in a canoe, a skin boat- ... and they just went north because they were trying to get away from the world.
- Yeah. Yeah, that... I could not agree more. There are some problems with, They found Iceland, and in a very excellent move on their part, they ran away as soon as the Vikings arrived, which
- Yeah. Yeah, that... I could not agree more. There are some problems with, - They just go toward the, they want to leave far away- ... so they could be closer to God. They could be closer to themselves and to-
Thanks to satellite imagery, many governments and NGOs, researchers, and journalists, they all had access to the same daily facts, the same baseline of reality,and the same possibility, at least in theory, of seeing clearly enough to respond together.
The satellites, they worked exactly as they were designed. They showed the emerging threat. They saw the threat.But the institutions that were supposed to respond, they weren't built for this.
but but separate. They 're not. They 're two sides of the same coin.Because if democracy doesn't deliver meaningful
If you look at individuals with depression, many of them don't have decreased serotonin. They have normal levels.And that's a surprise to many people.
But importantly, SSRIs still are incredibly important treatment options. They help many people.They are life-changing and they are life-saving.
They help many people.They are life-changing and they are life-saving.For many people, they really give them the will to live.
The thing about SSRIs is that when you take them, you have this increase in serotonin very quickly, but they take weeks to work. They don't work quickly.And so why do they take weeks to work?
I first noticed this pattern as I was interviewing thousands of people about their current relationship with play, and I kept hearing the same thing over and over. They told me they didn't have the time or the talent or the right tools to do it anymore.And when they finally did, it wasn't play.
The people who became creatively healthy were doing something differently. They were playing all the time in all these parts of life.Thinking playfully, expressing themselves playfully, even noticing when it happened around them.
Playful people mind wander. They daydream. We often call that laziness, but underneath the surface, our creative brain is actually hard at work, connecting all these disparate ideas that don't make sense yet.Even Einstein swore by this.
Every culture, without having spoken to one another first, kept adding these playful touches to the most ordinary aspects of their lives. They decorated their tools with intricacy, they made clothes and filled them with beads and shells, they danced and told stories and appreciated beautyfor no functional or productive reason.
Two short years ago, AI could barely solve entry-level high school math-contest problems. They were very clever, but brittle.Now, in 2025, they can compete with the best of us at the International Math Olympiad, which is the premier precollege math competition.
And they 're not going to be attempts to solve math-contest problems. They 're going to be attacks on the most fundamental and important questions of the day, whether it's the Riemann hypothesis, Navier-Stokes or P versus NP,just to pick a few.
With a system like this, if two people had an intellectual conflict, they would resort to logic and not rhetoric to resolve it. They would simply sit down, say “calculemus” -- “let us calculate,” and get to the bottom of it.In some sense, it was meant to be a universal calculator for truth.
In the future, AI is not just going to be writing math papers in English for humans to read. They 're going to be writing math proofs in Lean for computers to check.And that is the fundamental key that makes it possible to use Leibniz's vision to unlock the full potential of AI in mathematics.
Their cost of living is increasing, congestion on the road, rental prices, food prices. They are pushing back.And they 're pushing back like in Barcelona, with the graffiti asking tourists to go home.
And they have everything at their disposal, from technology to people to skilling. They will rise to the occasion.They will do three things: one, help manage crowd, help discover authentic experiences and help drive a really, really respectful connection
They will rise to the occasion.They will do three things: one, help manage crowd, help discover authentic experiences and help drive a really, really respectful connectionbetween the resident and the traveler.
don’t see the direct benefits of a traveler. They only see the negative side.I know we are contributing to the local economy through our money.
And the number one thing I've noticed all over is that people are afraid of computers. They 're scared. And don't get me started on the internet, you guys.Has anyone here ever been online?
And they have your data. They do. These sick people have your data.Are you comfortable with that? I'm not.
But it vibrates at a rate that you can't see or perceive, but dogs and pets can actually hear. They hear our skin.So I know you like to touch a little dog's head.
You can say "bye-bye" to your kids. They 're going to be living on their desktops.Mark my words, in one year's time, people will literally be, blah, blah, blah, blah, talking to their computers.
I grew up in and around these neighborhoods, and often we were scanning the homes of friends of mine. They hadn't even been back yet, they didn't even know the status of their own places.Like the cello teacher.
because they 'd been out partying. They saw on Instagram an image which seemed to indicate his car was totally intact.So I called him when we got there to describe what we were seeing, and it was extraordinary.
Then there was the Bank of America building, where a lot of people had their safe deposit boxes, and they were told they 'd been destroyed. They 'd lost family heirlooms and Holocaust papers.But it turns out, underneath all this crazy rubble -- everything was safe.
And if we have any venture capitalists out here -- you would understand this more than anyone. They don’t talk about 80 percent of their portfolio that goes bust, but they really back the winning bets.They ’ve all made those mistakes, but they don’t look at them as mistakes -- they look at them as learning points.
They don’t talk about 80 percent of their portfolio that goes bust, but they really back the winning bets.They ’ve all made those mistakes, but they don’t look at them as mistakes -- they look at them as learning points.And I think this mindset that’s been given to us from leaders, to really explore and test and double down on winning bets,
Even look at our kids now their attachment to technology -- what is the right balance? They ’re so smart in front of screens, but if you ask them to come on stage and have a conversation, they might not be as comfortablebecause they ’re just so involved with technology, and they do things that I’ll probably never think of doing because they ’re so into it, and they ’re doing such an amazing job.
