One of the scariest conversations I was privy to was a friend of mine who's a billionaire in London. He knows the CEO of one of the biggest AI companies in the world who I can't name. And he said, by the way, what he tells me in private is not what he's saying publicly. He said to me that what this particular CEO thinks is going to happen with AI is pretty horrific.

And the CEO of this big AI company is totally cool with it. And it's horrific what he thinks is about to happen. And then when I watch this guy do his like online talks and give his opinion, he's so nuanced and everything will be fine and he's an AI optimist. Then I heard this scenario at this kitchen table in East London from his friend about what he really thinks and it was chilling. Yeah.

Like actually the lack of empathy. Yeah. That makes sense to me. The obsession with power was shocking to me.

What are your emotions when you think about AI and what's happening? Because I feel like the moment we're living in is a profound one and that we don't actually realize it. Because when these tools come out, OpenAI released yesterday, 3.0, it's the best model ever. The day after my life was the same. So we don't really notice it because we go back to work. Our clients ask for the same thing.

We have the same team members sat around us. It almost seems like the sound timer is rotated and we're on a clock. And it's a slow disruption of our everyday lives. Sam Altman the other day on his TED Talk three or four days ago said, in the short term, everything will appear the same. But in the long term, he goes, life is going to be completely different.

If there was a 10-year-old kid stood here now and the 10-year-old said to us, said, guys, what do you think I should focus on?

Okay, how do I learn that?

One of the things that I'm contending with at the moment is with this new technology that's arrived, being an entrepreneur, seeing this huge opportunity, thinking about the dot-com boom and all the great opportunity that that created. people talking about the age of abundance and all these things, is I'm contending with the question on a personal level, which is when is enough enough?

And maybe this question is more pertinent now than ever in a world where creating stuff, building stuff, starting a company, launching a book, the cost of creating these things, whether they're good or not so good, has gone to basically zero. So we can all theoretically from our computers now become movie directors and authors and software developers. And so...
