“I do think that the shape of this in the future is is parts of AI need to become actually a true utility where you would expect things like cyber defense capabilities to be something that you provide, like, at cost or at, the cost of it costs you to provide you with no margin. ... you need to proliferate those into society without charging society for it or you end up in a in a really bad incentive structure.”

“My frustration with the way that housing works in this country is that it's usually determined by local residents, usually people who are homeowners themselves, who go to their local town halls or local city halls and advocate for less housing, because they don't wanna see their neighborhoods change ... I wish that the focus was less on what's best for current residents and what's best for the residents who might live here five, ten, fifteen years from now.”

“I think if you end up in a world where you have a closed loop production system with just machine to machine to machine to machine, and then people buy stuff, People need money, well established.

“the majority of the code at Anthropic is written by AI systems like Claude. Well, all of us in the room thought by April maybe a 100% of the code is, which led to us say, what are we doing? And I think that we invented a guild system where we would sit around analyzing and critiquing the code that called rights and verifying that it's correct.”

“In the last five years, there's been a lot of movement to eliminate single family zoning, which is this idea that you can only build one house on one plot of land in a neighborhood. ... The YIMBYs seem to be winning this ideological fight, which is really encouraging to see because it is based on economic principles, supply and demand.”

“So I think a good metaphor for the housing market is musical chairs. Like, the people who already own houses are sitting in their chairs and whenever there's a new spring housing market, some people get up and they move and they select a new chair. And if you're not adding more chairs in, you can't get first time homebuyers into the market so easily.”
