Protect your mind from influences that don't make you better in the long-term.

I choose:
- Long hours of focused work
- Good challenging books or podcasts
- Conversations with close friends

Here's my conversation with Harvey Silverglate, a legendary free speech advocate, lawyer, and writer. He's running for Harvard Board of Overseers on a platform of free speech. If you're a Harvard Alumni, please consider voting for him! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgTjSrrf6GQ

Here's my conversation with Anna Frebel, an astronomer and astrophysicist at MIT. We talk about the oldest stars in our galaxy and what they tell us about the history and evolution of our universe. This was fascinating and awe-inspiring! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQnUa5Bq5x4

"If it is not right, do not do it. If it is not true, do not say it." - Marcus Aurelius

I'm lucky to have gotten the chance to attend game 3 of Heat vs Celtics in Miami last night, and to hang out & have great conversations with Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner. This was my first time at a live basketball game. Energy was wild! Thank you for this amazing experience 🙏

"Every child is an artist. The challenge is staying an artist when you grow up." - Pablo Picasso

Here's my conversation with Neil Gershenfeld, director of MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms, all about self-assembling and self-replicating robots, and the future of fabrication at the boundary of physics and computation. This was fascinating & inspiring! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDjOS0VHEr4

"The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge." - Daniel Boorstin

I'm interviewing Mark Zuckerberg on the podcast soon, for the 2nd time. The focus will be on AI , but I'm sure we'll cover a lot of other topics as well. Please let me know if you have any questions/topic suggestions.

Identity politics is an outrage machine, fueled by dogmatic extremes from both sides.

Ignore the outrage online. I think it doesn't represent the majority. Most people are sensible and kind.

Here's my conversation with Chris Lattner, a legendary engineer, his 3rd time on the podcast. We talk about Modular AI and Mojo, a new programming language that is a superset of Python and can achieve 35,000x+ speed ups over Python. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdJQ8iVTwj8

Here's my conversation with Bert Kreischer, a comedian, actor, and podcaster who I've been a fan of for a long time. We covered a lot, from Hemingway on writing to Churchill's drinking habits. This conversation was wild, fascinating, and fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TmV6KEYkK0

To me, it's 99% probability that the universe is full of alien life. I hope we'll find conclusive evidence of it in my lifetime.

True 🤣

Here's my conversation with Mark Zuckerberg, his 2nd time on the podcast. We talk about the future of AI at Meta, Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, both near-term open source development of AI and the journey of human civilization toward building AGI. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ff4fRgnuFgQ

Life is beautiful. I'm grateful for all of you ❤️

I hope to start a company or join one by end of 2023. If I don't do that, I'll be really disappointed in myself. Building stuff that helps people makes me happy and it makes me a better human being & podcast host. But first I have some difficult conversations to travel for 👊❤️

I got the chance to hang out with Sundar Pichai and chat about the future of AI at Google and beyond. I'm really excited to see so many great engineers & teams working on this. PS: We'll do a podcast eventually. Sundar is a fascinating human being, and is really fun to talk to!

Here's my conversation with Matthew McConaughey, an Oscar-winning actor, author & one of the most charismatic, thoughtful & interesting human beings I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. He officially welcomed me to Texas, which I think means I'm Texan now 😎 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qgIFD0PaWo

I ❤️ Texas. Talked to McConaughey. Put on a cowboy hat. My new country album is dropping soon 🤣
