.@matanSF CEO of @FactoryAI: automating boring tasks is freedom.
"Consider a human engineer and try mapping over the course of their day. How much brain power they're using, it's probably going to be really low for a lot of it. But then there are going to be some moments where they're going pretty hot.
All of those low leverage moments, we want to automate away.
The eureka moments or the moments where they're doing something that's very high leverage, what if those aren't just moments, but what if those are hours at a time because you don't have to deal with all the other stuff?"
— Matan Grinberg, CEO of Factory, with @gradypb and @sonyatweetybird on @sequoia's Training Data podcast

.@isaiah_p_taylor on what cheap nuclear energy actually means:
"A lot of our food cost comes from the cost of synthetic nitrogen, which is essentially the cost of energy, because we use natural gas in the Haber-Bosch process to make nitrogen for our crops.
And we were thinking about manufacturing and we were thinking about chemical production and what are the materials in the world going to look like when we can produce them at a fifth of the cost of today?"
— Isaiah Taylor, Founder & CEO of @valaratomics, on the @maddireidy podcast

Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath "Bro, there is no failure."
"That is what other people think of you to keep you down. There's no failure. If you were left on an island and it happened, you would just brush it off and move on. It's everybody else that you think is judging you. But then, here's the secret. They don't give a fuck about you. They are living their own lives. So it's your perception of what they think of you."
"There is no failure. There's do and learn. Do and learn. Do and learn. Do and learn."
