“Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough.”

“Never chase the next hot thing. Stop trying to chase the wave. You will never catch it. You always for the most part find out about that stuff too late.

That will position you before the wave even hits, and you will find out about whatever it is before the wave starts, before it gets hot, and that is how you take advantage.”

“It is important to view knowledge as sort of a semantic tree -- make sure you understand the fundamental principles, ie the trunk and big branches, before you get into the leaves/details or there is nothing for them to hang on to.”

“If you’re not concerned about AI safety, you should be. Vastly more risk than North Korea.”

“AI is a rare case where I think we need to be proactive in regulation than be reactive.”

“You need to live in a dome initially, but over time you could terraform Mars to look like Earth and eventually walk around outside without anything on... So it's a fixer-upper of a planet.”

“Mark my words, AI is far more dangerous than nukes… Why do we have no regulatory oversight?”

“Science is discovering the essential truths about what exists in the Universe, engineering is about creating things that never existed.”

“Any product that needs a manual to work is broken.”
