Ben Horowitz on AI and long span

A great interview by Ben Horowitz of a16z I can recommend, released this week for Columbia Business School:

Strong, but well-informed and articulated opinions:

  1. Why open source is key for innovation
  2. Culture difference on tell-tell vs. great spying US vs China
  3. The world innovates, Europe regulates
  4. Current AI principles outlined 20-25 years ago, just starting now with ChatGPT
  5. Why overregulation for things that may never happen stalls innovation
  6. Copyrighted regurgitation is what humans do
  7. Robots are the future, but a distant one

And many other takeaways revealed in this interview.
