"And I think it’s very important though that we remember that as when we’re immersed in the technology and the research, I think a lot of researchers that I see in our field are a little bit too narrow and only understand the technology. And I think also that’s why it’s important for this to be debated by society at large. I’m very supportive of things like the AI summits that will happen and governments understanding it. And I think that’s one good thing about the chatbot era and the product era of AI is that everyday person can actually feel and interact with cutting edge AI and feel it for themselves."

"Exactly. Because for the first time in human history we wouldn’t be resource constrained. And I think that could be amazing new era for humanity where it’s not zero-sum, right? I have this land, you don’t have it. Or if the tigers have their forest, then the local villages can’t, what are they going to use? I think that this will help a lot. No, it won’t solve all problems because there’s still other human foibles that will still exist, but it will at least remove one, I think one of the big vectors, which is scarcity of resources, including land and more materials and energy."

"I’ve always seen it like that. And maybe in the Renaissance times, the great discoverers then, people like Da Vinci, I don’t think he saw any difference between science and art and perhaps religion. Everything was, it’s just part of being human and being inspired about the world around us. And that’s the philosophy I tried to take. And one of my favorite philosophers is Spinoza. And I think he combined that all very well, this idea of trying to understand the universe and understanding our place in it. And that was his way of understanding religion. And I think that’s quite beautiful. And for me, all of these things are related, interrelated, the technology and what it means to be human."
