So you left Michael Dell. Are you still in touch with him?

I mean, I went back when in 1982 or something, when he was doing this innovative thing, selling computers online. basically with fax messaging. There were maybe 30 people in the company and he invited me to their strategy weekend to talk about the business. And I thought he's a really nice guy and I like this idea, but I'm not sure it's really for the longterm, but I was impressed with the group.

And of course he turned into Michael Doe and I ran into him on the street a few years ago and we recognized each other, which was nice. I think the way I'd start on this topic is a book by Sherry Turkle called The Second Self. And randomly, Sherry Turkle... was one of the two other people that I went to Russia for within 1989. One of the premises of the second self is kids used to grow up.

It was Mickey Mouse so famous. Well, it's because most kids had a mouse or two at home and they say knew about mice and most kids had a dog or a sheep and their basic sense of self was, well, I'm like my dog. My dog loves me and I love him. And we hug or my dog licks me, whatever. But I'm different because I can talk and I can think. So I'm different, but I'm also like my dog.

And now kids grow up thinking, well, I'm like my computer. I can think and talk and answer questions. But there's this sort of disconnect. I love my computer because my computer really loved me. And We've almost changed people's sense of self and how they interact with things towards interacting with computers or interacting with people over computers. And I think that's...

One of the worst press releases I ever got was something that said, your child can make their own avatar so that they don't need to undergo the awkwardness of talking to real children over the Internet. They can just talk to avatars, and their avatars can answer questions for them. I mean, we're stealing kids' humanities. And I wrote a piece for The Information last year.

or early this year, called Don't Fuss About Training Your AIs, Train Your Babies. And the message of it is we need to help people be more human. The AIs will take care of themselves.

And also to be aware of the business models that the companies and the things they interact with on the computer and what to understand how they are being manipulated so that they can understand how to manipulate themselves instead of being manipulated by companies that want to addict them to seeing their friends' photos, that want to addict them to playing games, that
