Sam is a rare visionary who shoulders incredible responsibility, yet his curiosity and humility remain utterly inspiring.

I appreciate the importance of having novel insights and perspectives, rather than repeating the same ideas, which keeps conversations fresh and engaging.

The most powerful thinkers understand the basics very well, which allows them to articulate complex ideas clearly without relying on jargon.

The best ideas often come from understanding the market deeply and knowing the customers' problems better than they do themselves.

I believe that the best ideas often come from unexpected places within the team, not just from the most experienced members.

Two years ago, Jony and I started discussing the future of AI and new kinds of computers while I was running OpenAI and Jony was running his design firm, LoveFrom, which has an incredible collection of talent.

I try to keep a team where great ideas can come from unexpected places, not just from the most experienced members.

My co-founders are excellent at judging technical ideas, but I'm the one who assesses character, which has been crucial for Y Combinator's success.

The first device we've been working on has completely captured our imagination, and Jony believes it is the best work our team has ever done, following his iconic designs like the iPhone and MacBook Pro. The prototype device I took home is the coolest piece of technology the world will have ever seen.
