Jeff Bezos: AI Won't Kill Jobs — It Will Create Labor Scarcity⁣ ⁣ "When you have that much productivity in the economy, people who are working overtime will stop working overtime because they don't want to work overtime. We're gonna have labor scarcity as a result."⁣ — @JeffBezos

Elon Musk: We Haven't Even Scratched the Surface of Solar Power⁣ ⁣ "You can assess how well a civilization is harnessing the power available on the planet. That's type one. And then type two would be how much of the star's power are you harnessing? And then type three would be how much of the galaxy's power are you harnessing? These are very objective and measurable numbers." — @elonmusk

Brex CEO Pedro Franceschi: LLMs Won't Tell You When They're Guessing⁣ ⁣ "You have no sense of how much training data the model has seen for the exact thing that you're asking it." — @pedroh96

Elon Musk: Starship's Reusability Is the Only Path to a Multiplanetary Future⁣ ⁣ "Reusability is the fundamental breakthrough that is necessary to make life multi-planetary as well as to ascend the Kardashev Scale. You simply cannot extend life to the moon, to Mars and to the rest of the solar system without a reusable rocket. The cost is simply prohibitive."

Elon Musk: Why SpaceX Is Still Just Getting Started⁣ ⁣ "New satellites, more Starship launches, more chips, more solar, more everything. It's a big future but I'm excited to see everybody at this company go out and build."

Elon Musk: Why AI Satellites Are Actually Simpler to Build Than Starlink⁣ ⁣ "An AI satellite is essentially a lot of solar cells, a radiator, and you still need some laser links, but you don't have all of the super complex antennas that you have on a Starlink satellite. The easier one to design for is the AI satellite." — @elonmusk

Dario Amodei: Anthropic Chose Enterprise Because Consumer AI Incentivizes Addiction⁣ ⁣ "If you pick a business model that fundamentally conflicts with your values, you're gonna have a hard time. Either you betray your own values or you become irrelevant."

Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan to AI Doomers: Have Fun Coding at 1x Speed! ⁣ ⁣ "The funniest thing about AI to me is how often I find myself thinking crypto maxims." — @garrytan

Sam Altman Didn't See This AI Risk Coming Until It Was Real⁣ ⁣ "I did not think about a world where we were really gonna have to focus on building and deploying agents that were robust to being infected by other agents."

YC's Pete Koomen: The Best AI Products Might Be Tiny⁣ ⁣ "The best AI software tends to be very small and just add the smallest amount of code ahead of time that you need in order to let the model shine." — @koomen⁣

Y Combinator Partners: AI-Native Companies Win by Sharing Context, Not Locking It Down⁣ ⁣ "Part of the key thing is not to just use AI as a copilot. You need to start recording all the artifacts — meetings, emails, planning. You have the whole context of everything." — @sdianahu

Told this to a CEO of a media company last week: Everyone is a clip farmer now Short-form video is the language of the internet. If you produce podcasts, live streams, webinars, TV shows, or really any video, the job is broader than just making good content You also have to systematically farm the moments that can travel across social The difference now is that AI agents can make good clips and posts at scale, on autopilot (this only became true within the last 9 months) The best teams we work with have dozens of agents running constantly, harvesting clips from everything they produce Every media company, marketer, creator, and founder could use a better clipping operation The only real question is whether humans do it manually, or whether AI agents do it 24/7 in the background Which is exactly what happened here: this clip was found, edited, captioned, and posted by an Overlap AI agent

Sundar Pichai: Don't Wait for AGI—Prepare for What's Coming First⁣ ⁣ "Even if AGI is ten years out, the technology three years out will be so much more powerful than what we have today. I don't want people to think you don't need to act or prepare." — @sundarpichai

Sam Altman on Anthropic: "They've built a company on hating us or something like that. I think we all care about not destroying the world with AI." — #sama

OpenAI Co-Founder Greg Brockman: We're All Becoming Managers of Agents⁣ ⁣ "We're all going to be heading to a world where we're managers of agents, and soon maybe the CEO of an autonomous AI corporation." — Greg Brockman

Sam Altman on AGI as a Tool, Not a Creature⁣ ⁣ "Even if the next CEO of OpenAI is an AI, some person had to ask the system to go accomplish some goal. Which it comes down to the prompt."

Mira Murati: Competition and Fundraising Don't Drive Me⁣ ⁣ "When I wake up in the morning, I am not thinking about how to kill the competitor." — @miramurati

Sam Altman on AI Voice Finding the Sweet Spot⁣ ⁣ "I've played around with a version of voice mode that feels very human like. It breathes. It says like. I don't want that thing. I feel a very visceral reaction to that." — @sama

He's right about incentive architecture. But safety in whose interest? Enterprise AI avoids the engagement trap and deepens the concentration of power. Different problem.

Dario Amodei Calls Out OpenAI: Enterprise AI Lets You Prioritize Safety Over Engagement⁣ ⁣ "It's easier to choose a business model where there's less need to fight your own business incentives." — @DarioAmodei
