Time stamped show notes: [0:49] About Skymind - Artificial Intelligence company, bringing AI out of the lab and into the real world [2:00] People should know: AI is just math and code, not magic. [4:05] The thing AI and capitalism have in common: they are accelerants. [6:34] AI will introduce us to more environments to try and serve our needs better. [9:16] Consistency can move mountains and carve rivers and mountains. [10:49] As chips get more powerful, AI can get powerful. [12:43] What is quantum computer? [15:25] What would quantum supremacy achieve? [18:34] We need to gather data on what type of art causes each emotion so that then we can produce meaningful art. [19:24] He believes we can create really strong AI, which might be stronger than us. [22:13] We program AI's values. They learn from what we teach them. [24:25] Collaboration is the way we win. [25:50] Sarcasm kills intimacy. [27:06 ] He was born in Montana - a very rural state. He realized that there's a big world out there that has to be explored. [27:31] He felt like he had to leave Montana to grow economically and mentally. [28:07] The great divide is urban vs. rural (especially in the USA now). [28:39] He worked as a journalist for 10 years. [29:08] Paris is no longer welcoming to artists. Now it's very bourgeois. [30:00] He learned to code in the evenings while being a journalist. And then he went to work for a company where he met his co-founder. [31:19] He never thought he would be the head of a company. He had to grow into it. [31:43]  Being the head of a company is a big moral project: to give people a place they can work, where they have a supportive work environment, and make sure everyone is communicating well. [32:20] Leadership lesson he's learned: communicate more - get in contact and listen. [33:25] They (at Skymind) communicate asynchronously.   [33:43] They (at Skymind) use Basecamp. [33:52] They (at Skymind) schedule weekly calls. [34:02] Live conversation is better than an email. Make an effort to get on the phone. [36:27] Skymind is working toward profitability. They just had their first $1M year. [41:13] AI starts with the collection of data and it has to be aligned with the outcomes you want to predict. [42:25] What he wishes to leave the world as his legacy/words of wisdom: for people to follow their nose when finding what their passion is and what they want to create Three key points: People should know: AI is just math and code, not magic. Leadership lesson he's learned: communicate more - get in contact and listen. Live conversation is better than an email. Make an effort to get on the phone. Resources mentioned: Basecamp - Project Manager Last question: They need to execute their plan to make their product better to build a whole organization of repeatable sales. Talent is a choke point for him. Finding the right fit for the company.
