Nice. The math checks out.

I went to a cheap late-night Vegas diner at 4am, ate delicious steak and eggs, got called "honey" and "sweetheart" repeatedly by the nicest waitress in the world. My life is complete.

Here's my conversation with Christopher Capozzola, a historian at MIT, specializing in World War I and the history of war, elections, and politics in the United States. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SK4kMPmgKW0

Whenever I have doubt about whether I can do something difficult, I look at goats dealing with gravity like it's nothing.

Here's my conversation with Ray Kurzweil, who predicted that the Singularity will happen by 2045, beyond which the exponential growth of AI will become uncontrollable & unpredictable. We talk about this and also about immortality & the future of humanity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykY69lSpDdo

I'm attending ADCC today, the submission grappling tournament where elite martial artists come to determine who is the best in the world.

Humans have been doing grappling competitions for 9,000+ years. So it's wild to think that today I'll see some of the best who've ever lived.

Here's my conversation with Rana el Kaliouby, a pioneer in the field of human-centric AI and emotion recognition, co-founder of Affectiva and deputy-CEO of Smart Eye. She is brilliant and really fun to talk to. Her smile lights up the room! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36_rM7wpN5A

I'll have several difficult conversations this year & next. I'll get attacked from all sides. I now understand that this is the way for anyone who seeks to empathize and understand in a divided world. I hope you know my heart and will still support me. I'll need it. 😔

I send my love to the Iranian people who are standing up for their freedom.

Resentment and cynicism suffocate the human spirit. Choose optimism, and fight for the best possible future you can imagine.

I love to work hard, and to surround myself with people who work hard.

We live in a culture where that's sometimes looked down upon. But alas, I am who I am.

You be you. I'll be me. Deal with it. 😎

Humanity is facing the threat of nuclear war.

Conversation between leaders from a place of strength, empathy, wisdom, and love is the way out.

The survival of human civilization depends on it.

Here's my conversation with Daniel Negreanu, one of the greatest poker players of all time, and in general, he's a brilliant, hilarious, and kind-hearted human being. I've been a fan of his for a long time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKnoNfajUgM

Tesla Bot is truly amazing. It's the early steps of a revolution in the role that AI & robots play in human civilization.

What the Tesla team was been able to accomplish in the last few months is just incredible.

As someone who loves AI and robotics, I'm inspired beyond words.

Food poisoning floored me for several days. It's funny that one late-night snack took me on a wild mental journey 🤣 It was fun to learn the places my mind will go when in fever. I wasn't able to think, but was able to distinctly appreciate the finiteness and absurdity of life.

Crypto bots are the worst. Fake Vitaliks are all around me 🤣
