No question is a stupid question when you're trying to LEARN. AI is the most patient teacher that has ever existed, more than our parents!

Sending your kid to college 'just to get a job' might be the worst advice to give them in 2026.

The demand for AI will never saturate. It goes pretty much to infinity. Just like electricity didn't plateau after lighting homes.. it powered elevators, refrigerators, radios, and eventually everything.

Abundance isn't about having more stuff. It's about creating a world where access to knowledge, health, energy, and opportunity is radically expanded and democratized. Technology is how we get there. Let's build!

If the economy grows 10x in a decade, opportunity is everywhere. But it's very unlikely that the opportunity is the same as whatever you were doing yesterday or even today.

Be nimble. Stay curious. Move fast.

Fear is the most expensive emotion. It costs you time, opportunity, and the future you could have built. Trade fear for curiosity.

If we look at the last couple of years, we're speed running every science-fiction plot simultaneously. UBI, government stake in labs, recursive self, a debate on pausing AI, ALL in one quarter.

The problems that are worth solving are the ones society collectively agrees are impossible.

Your inputs determine your outputs. If you spend your days consuming fear-based content about AI, you will be afraid. If you spend your days building things with AI, you will be excited. This applies to almost anything.

If you told someone in 1990 that a pocket device would access all human knowledge for free, they'd call you insane.

Fear is the worst mindset to prepare for our future.

The impossible is often, almost every time, untried.

After deep reflection, AI is the biggest technical thing I've ever encountered.

There are thousands, if not millions, of businesses that are desperate to implement AI but don't know how...

This presents a significant employment opportunity for younger, tech-savvy generations.

We're living through the most consequential moment in human history. AI is writing its own code. Satellites are connecting every phone on Earth. Robots are outrunning humans. Cancer patients are designing their own cures.
