Notable quotes

“I also believe it's the largest business opportunity in the planet. You know, when I'm on stages in front of, you know, family offices, YPO organizations, Tiger 21 groups, and I ask honestly, okay, you're 80 years old. How much of your wealth would you give for an extra guaranteed 30 years of health that you had in your 40s and 50s? Right? And I think most people, if they're honest, it would be the vast majority, rig”

“The X-Prize is a global organization. We run large scale competitions not for ideas but for people who build and demonstrate technology. So we've launched $600 million worth of prizes driving about $10 billion in R&D. So for example, a few years ago I got Elon to fund a hundred million dollar prize for carbon sequestration, challenging teams to pull gigatons of carbon out of the atmosphere and out of the oceans. So t”

“In the long run, I'm not worried about it at all. In fact, I think that having this digital super intelligence is going to be one of the most important stabilizing factors for humanity in the near term. My concern is not artificial intelligence, it's human stupidity. It's the use of AI by humans to get ahead of others to do them harm to do things which might be unethical. I think ultimately the safety we're going to ”

“Energy first is the single innermost loop. It's the most important thing we've got going on. You know, we've seen chips as the gating factor for a lot of AI. It's no longer chips. It's now strictly energy which is why you know Elon's looking at space data centers in orbit. But in the near term I think you know this is not investment advice but I'm investing more in energy companies than I am in AI companies these day”

“There's a quote I had Elon on my stage last year at the Abundance Summit and said by 2029 or 2030 digital intelligence will exceed all human intelligence combined. And that is what's fundamentally not considered when we look at the implications of our future. This is Moore's law on that first slope, this is a doubling every two years of computational power. We've entered a period of time where we're seeing a 10x incr”

“So I have a $600 million Venture Fund in biotech called bold capital and bold longevity growth B bold B yeah and um we're in our fourth fund now and so I see a lot of deals uh and then I run something called the longevity Platinum trip uh Yan Dr Yanni ptis and I scan through 500 companies and we pick 50 and every year it's a new crop of 50 and we spend 5 days I bring my abundance 360 members in uh who want to be part”
