I think there's a lot of beauty in the universe, right? I think life itself, civilization, this homo, techno, capital, mimetic machine that we all live in, right? So you have humans, technology, capital, memes. Everything is coupled to one another. Everything induces selective pressure on one another. And it's a beautiful machine that has created us, has created us.
the technology we're using to speak today to the audience, capture our speech here, the technology we use to augment ourselves every day, we have our phones. I think the system is beautiful and the principle that induces this sort of adaptability and convergence on optimal technologies, ideas, and so on, it's a beautiful principle that we're part of. And I think

part of EAC is to appreciate this principle in a way that's not just centered on humanity but kind of broader. Appreciate life, the preciousness of consciousness in our universe. And because we cherish this beautiful state of matter we're in, we've got to feel a responsibility to scale it in order to preserve it because the options are to grow or die.

So during my career, I had a moment where I realized that maybe we need to offload to machines to truly understand the universe around us, right? Instead of just having humans with pen and paper solve it all. And to me, that sort of process of letting go of a bit of agency gave us way more leverage to understand the world around us.

A quantum computer is much better than a human to understand matter at the nanoscale. Similarly, I think that humanity has a choice. Do we accept the opportunity to have intellectual and operational leverage that AI will unlock and thus ensure that we're taking along this path of growth and scope and scale of civilization? We may dilute ourselves, right?

There might be a lot of workers that are AI, but Overall, out of our own self-interest, by combining and augmenting ourselves with AI, we're going to achieve much higher growth and much more prosperity, right? To me, I think that the most likely future is one where Humans augment themselves with AI. I think we're already on this path to augmentation. We have phones we use for communication.

We have on ourselves at all times. We have wearables soon that have shared perception with us, right? Like the human AI pin or, I mean, technically your Tesla car has shared perception. And so if you have shared experience, shared context, you communicate with one another better. and you have some sort of IO, really, it's an extension of yourself.

And to me, I think that humanity augmenting itself with AI and having AI that is not anchored to anything biological. Both will coexist. And the way to align the parties, we already have a sort of mechanism to align super intelligences that are made of humans and technology, right? Companies are sort of
