Are you an optimist or a pessimist when it comes to AI? Yeah, it's a great question. I think that you to be rational, you have to be both. And if you just sit on one side or the other, you're probably missing an important part of the truth. Because I think wisdom in the 21st century is being able to hold multiple confusing or contradictory ideas in working memory at the same time

and navigate a path through those things which doesn't leave you sort of characterizing those who disagree with you or somehow like see things slightly differently in a negative or sort of unconstructive way. And so it is true this AI moment is going to deliver the greatest boost to productivity in the history of our species in the next couple of decades. That to me is unquestionable. I don't think that makes me an optimist. I think that makes me a good predictor of the underlying trends. At the same time, it is also going to create the most change in a disruptive positive and negative version of disruptive way we've ever seen. Right?

And that is going to be incredibly destabilizing to the way that we currently understand the world to be, the way that we work, the way our politics operates, fundamentally what it even means to be human.

So we're about to go through a revolution. And I think that, you know, in that world, I'm both optimistic and there are parts of me that do feel pessimistic.
