I'm incredibly excited about the potential of AGI and the profound changes it will bring to our lives.

I'm most excited about the potential of AI to dramatically increase the rate of scientific knowledge in society, which is essential for sustainable economic growth and solving global problems.

I am optimistic about AI's potential to free people to pursue creative ideas and generate innovative solutions.

AI is a tool that can dramatically augment and amplify our creativity, and I realized I needed to learn more about it after my book on idea generation was published just before the rise of AI tools.

At Tesla, I became very interested in AI applications, particularly in autopilot technology, which led me to explore AI's potential in different domains.

The excitement around AI comes from the potential for unseen improvements in areas that are currently problematic, which is why funding new tools and founders is crucial.

The excitement around AI innovations is palpable, and we should focus on building rather than restricting these advancements.

In early 2023, I realized AI development was outpacing our ability to control it, influenced by the impressive capabilities of ChatGPT and my work on analog computation at Google.

The period of AI development has been long, starting around 2012-2013, but gained visibility in the last three to four years.
