Everything he said is very possible, at least on a long timeline. Certainly carbon-neutral jet fuel, replacing natural gas and coal with geothermal and eventually fusion. Growing better meat in tanks is also certain, along with lots of innovation in vegan alt-protein. Going Mach 5 routinely will happen, but might take a while. Cheap robo-cars and buses on-demand will be easy, as will electric air taxis. And of course AI experts for everyone for free is certain in the near-term.

People would be more excited about technological change if it was precedented by legislation that protects them against subjugation. Currently the trend is the opposite: legislators pave way for technology-driven subjugation of the masses.

Speech short version, "We'll do right by you. Trust us. When have corporations ever cast you aside? Of course we will let you live and not just dispose of the humans we don't need."

My prediction: power will concentrate on those who control land and natural resources. Once robots will be able to build other robots and everything else, all you need is natural resources. Money won’t mean power. The real power will be at the hands of those who control natural resources and can defend them.

Glad you said entrepreneurs and not government

India’s Aadhaar is such an example of massive impact that was technically driven by a former entrepreneur but made popular via government.

He got a few right. He left out connecting humans to a collective consciousness, free education, public opinion polls in real time, entertainment, virtual reality and much more. The most important: limited privacy that MAKES CRIME IMPOSSIBLE. The reason criminals succeed is because they can hide from most of society. What happens when they can't?

2 minutes in he says: not one key innovation that was not started by entrepreneurs! Maybe we should ask him if he heard about this thing called the Internet? While I can agree with the importance of the role of entrepreneurs, can we keep some measure of nuance?

This world can be. A very skilled visionary. The type one would want as a friend if one is allowed to be very selective and can choose from the billions on this planet.

@@sachamm robotaxis will be public transportation, along with robo-buses and some trains too. Today, even in rich cities with the best public transportation, cars do most trips, because they are a far better service. Robotaxis will eventually be like little golf carts and trikes that make trips really cheap and safe, with bigger vehicles going up to shuttles. When well-regulated they'll be the ideal mobility service. If cities also want to build trains for a few routes, they can do that. What you're saying about cars not being allowed in cities isn't practical, it's just 20th-Century political talk.

According to wikipedia, there are 40 or so metro areas where cars make up less than 50% of trips, including Hong Kong with a whopping 77% of all trips being made by public transportation and only 12% by car. New York City is roughly evenly split 1/3 each between walking, transit, and cars. In Paris, only 20% of trips are by car. Remember the main problem with cars in cities is congestion (I mean aside from the incredible cost, all the people they kill, all the pollution they spew, blah blah blah). We literally don't have the space in a city for everyone to take up a living room's worth whenever they travel. The busiest train line in the world is in Japan. It handles the traffic of a 50-lane highway. Imagine a 50-lane highway going through downtown Tokyo. That's the vision of the future you're trying to sell. It won't work and in fact city folk are finally waking up the the reality that they don't have to cater to rich suburbanites driving into a city with free parking to make a vibrant, economically viable city.

AI, in the 1950s was predited to have world changing consequences in the next few decades. Then came the AI winter, where people like yourself looked at the past and said, "nah, I don't see a future for this". And look at AI now.

This disclaimer at the end completely destroyed the entire presentation! It’s like saying I’ll dream about all kinds of things and describe them in such general terms that I can always claim that I was right. Except I will not suggest a time frame so you couldn’t hold me accountable before I’m dead and gone 🤣

My biggest concern…what are the trillionaires going to do with all of the indoctrinated people who have learned about life through data collecting AI? What could go wrong?

He did not explain that the lost jobs would create chaos in society. Mechanical Robots- manufacturing jobs lost Autonomous vehicles- Drivers losing jobs worldwide LLM agents - tutor, doctor , customer support, Designers, Software Developers, writers and many more. There will be bunch of big companies controlling these and benefitting from mass job losses. who will feed the rest of the world that remain in question Mr Khosla.

Unless it's just improvement on what we have now predictions rarely come to pass

FFS, can we get rid of wires?? This drives me crazy!

Great.. What will humans do?!

As he says, he is an optimist, which means he describes the best of posslble Worlds, and that's ok - but we should also acknowledge that there are many non-trivial questions and problems that are not even mentioned here and they will be crucial. Something that comes to my mind: if this is all for free, where is the profit coming from? entrepeneurs are not philantropists, they build companies that make money; also, what is the society going to look like? I am not an AI catastrophist, quite the opposite, but still I find that the approach "cut off A, B, C and everything will be great" is too simple - there are always effects that we didn't predict. Well, we'll see.

We have to ask, can the earth survive our demands for resources.

Surgery can benefit since this is an actual practical application in which human heals and progresses from/no longer having to rely on it it is especially only temporary, which you don’t see from a lot of innovations these are promoted not the human being

Except for the rabbit device whatever Khosla is talking about seems plausible to me: 1. Trial runs of autonomous cars are allowed in 12 cities worldwide and swiss re already said they're safer than human drivers, it's reasonable to assume in 25 years they will get significantly better. 2. Converting co2 and h2o to efuels is feasible at current prices of electricity, only problem is the massive infrastructure required for it which will soon be built. 3. There are already successful tests of carbon neutral/negative cement and steel production, soon we will figure out how to scale those. 4. Just look at the pace at which AI models and computing is scaling, you will understand why khosla is saying it will replace most experts within 25 years. 5. Solar prices dropped 5 times and battery prices dropped 10 times from 2010 to 2020. 5. Maybe we wont have widescale fusion by 2050 but solar, wind and geothermal will be enough to suffice 10 times our current energy needs. 6. Just look at what bipedal (humanoid) robots are able to do today, they will definitely get good enough to replace all the mundane and repetitive tasks done by humans. 7. With fossil fuels becoming obsolete, countries will become energy independent and inequality will reduce. Remember energy is everything.
