  A human lifespan of about 90 to 100 years is right, and living forever is not something to want.

  Their words

  I actually I do wanna die. I don't wanna do this forever. Like, I think the human li- lifespan of about 90 to 100 sounds about right. I'm embracing the finitude of life.

  The agentic age needs a new operating system: if you can vibe-code any application, you should be able to vibe-code the operating system, and only Linux allows that.

  Linux

  Their words

  It is an infuriatingly locked-down computer. Now, to Apple's credit, it's a pretty good computer for being locked down, but I don't want a locked-down computer. I wanna own my computer. Better yet, I wanna mutate my computer, and this is where the agentic age needs a new operating system. When you can vibe code whatever app comes to your mind, you should be able to vibe code your operating system.

  Their words now

  I think that's the other big misconception that some people have about wealth is that they conceive of it as some sort of checkpoint. Like once you've made it, then you can just kick back in leisure as though that was happiness.

  The question to put to a young person is what they want to do, not what they want to be — the roles are a costume and asking about them is cruel.

  A live game has to be architected so it can be hotfixed on a dime; waiting for a client patch to fix what is broken is already too slow.

  Their words

  You know, obviously, we patch our games and that’s where we fix a lot of bugs, but if you really wanna run a game like Overwatch or World of Warcraft successfully, you need master level engineers who have architected the client and server in such a way that you can hotfix the game on a dime.

  Orchestrators that try to automate the whole build miss style, love and the human touch, and that cannot be automated away yet.

  Their words

  So, so, people who try to use like, you know, things like Gas Town or all these other orchestrators, where they wanna o- automate the whole thing, I feel if you do that, it misses style, love, that human touch. I don't think you can automate that away so quickly.
