The share of the population using the internet in India has increased over the past decade from 14% to 52%
Fascinating conversation, def recommend giving the full thing a listen. They mention accelerationists quite a few times and even bring up @vitalik.eth's inspiration for creating Ethereum.

we need a full send for the entire energy portfolio, and we should have solved the peaker/HVTL dependency w/ sufficient solar & hydropower by now.
no better time to double down than the present.

nearly every uber/lyft ride i’ve taken in seattle lately has been in a tesla. It feels like tesla is quietly positioning itself to dominate the taxi industry even before their driverless fleet hits the streets
In the NYT today, Max Roser says we need a new poverty line at $30/day.
I agree. I think we should also have poverty lines at $100, $300, and $1000/day.
More than 99.9% of the world lives on less than $1000/day. We should seek to reduce that number as far as possible.
Absolutely serious about this.

He didn't have to worry about how that would look on his CV. He didn't have an advisor tell him he was committing career suicide by going and working on practical problems for industry.

I think AI breaks up the congestion of bloated software, where individual organizational applications can be built for a fraction of the cost, reallocating capital and bringing in the demand for more engineers.
This is generally great because a larger number of use-cases can present itself on top of a different design space.
There are many examples of this already, Disney dropping Slack and other orgs dropping SaaS i.e. Salesforce, Workday, etc. for building inhouse solutions.
