BEST MOMENTS
"I think the critical driver is really a desire to change the world in a way that matters. And it doesn't have to be an idea that comes from me."
“The capacity of that language model to help you create, perhaps not to give you any intention, to perhaps not to give you advice, you know, that makes sense in the larger application design."
"I don't know where the passion comes from, but without it, you're not going to be able to get that over the hump. It is too scary and it is too difficult."
"Well, it was a failure, but it wasn't a failure because now all these years later, what you started back then is now part and parcel of everyday life."
