Please see my below letter to the President of Harvard University sent today: November 4, 2023 Dear President Gay, I am writing this letter to you regretfully. Never did I think I would have to write a letter to the president of my alma mater about the impact of her actions

Working with David Kirkpatrick for The Information was an adventure with an incredible cast of characters. "He's the person who can see the future, see around corners. That's his magic weapon" Sebastian Thrun on Vinod Khosla

Think this is the best democracy has to offer. I feel people are so involved in what's happening. What's happening today is what our Founding Fathers wanted to happen, to give the power to the people. (not everything, no one wanted to shoot a candidate, but I am talking about

I really wonder why so many AI companies seem to blindly compete for building the same thing: the best foundational models, as measured by some abstract set of benchmarks. It feels like there is now an entire ecosystems of companies that want to outperform GPT.x. Why?

LLMs are like mirrors. They are trained with text written by people. So if we find their output to be harmful, we need to remember they just mirror back to us what's readily available on the Internet. Should we punish the mirror if we don't like what we see? Really?

Sad to see so many promising AI startup throwing the towel. Are we all back to getting rich fast? Or did those founders all believe that hype is business success? Sad.

I LOVE the fact that so many AI companies are open sourcing their models. Thank you for placing humanity above shareholders and investors.

AI produces what people most likely would say (or draw) according to training data. There is nothing harmful or dangerous about this; unless we believe online training data is harmful or dangerous. If, for example, if a LLM produces steps to make a bomb then likely those

I just spent a week without blame. No blaming me, no blaming others. Just enjoy everyone, love life, and live life to the fullest. It was amazing!

Making humanoids is hard! The ultimate challenge! Yet, creating humanoid robots caps your revenue potential at $30 per hour, even if you are widely successful. Why not let more immigrants into the country?

We are now truly democratizing software engineering. With LLMs, computers can be programmed in plain English. So anyone who is fluent in English can now be a programmer. Going forward, who would want to pay big bucks for "experts" to manually generate cryptic computer code? We
