Jensen Huang is a titan and a teacher. He recently sat down with me to explain his vision of the future of technology and humanity. He’s calm, clear, and very funny. We touched on many topics, ranging from the $20T or more AI economy in five layers to changes in labor for the AI age. Here are some of my main takeaways: 1) The world is moving from retrieval to generation 2) Generation offers intelligence customized to the individual 3) Nvidia is making the "generators" of intelligence 4) We've seen this kind of revolution at least three times before with energy (Generators), Telecommunications (vacuum tubes / transistors?), and now intelligence (GPUs) 5) There is a five-layer cake of participation in this many-many trillion dollar revolution: Energy, Chips, Infra, Models, and Applications. 6) There are many ways to participate in this revolution, and everyone has a role 7) We'll be pushed to dream up new problems to solve with this unprecedented intelligence 8) In this new future, it's not just having the answer, it's having the right questions 8) The right questions will drive us toward our individual and collective human purpose 9) We move from the carpenters to the architects I believe this is the realistic future.

God bless American capital markets

Ti is awesome. Someone who is truly forward-looking. This will be an exciting conversation.

As usual, @robinhanson's ideas on Futarchy are vindicated by the market after 20 years.

Questions I have about Joe and the Juice - Who’s Joe? - Is the juice actual juice or coffee? - Why is Joe shrouded in darkness, wearing a fedora, and pouting with clenched fists like a 1930s mobster henchman whose temper is going to start a turf war? Altogether seems NPC coded

Whoever coined the phrase “freedom of expression” never heard Fetty Wap expressed freely through a trunk subwoofer

Bro you sure you want to retweet that? You sure you’re distilling meaning from the divine source, not perpetuating the cycle of meaningless referentials?
