Linkedin founder Red Hoffman has been in the shadow of Stanford University in the shadow of Palo Alto, California, since his birth in August 1967, where he and the Technology fellow Peter Thale as college students during the 1980s Become a friend.
He worked with other bright -eyed businessmen to start PayPal in the late 1990s, which moved forward on more things, just as Hoffman did. That group – called “Paypal Mafia” – I included Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk, Yelp’s CEO Jeremy Stapleman, and YouTube co -founders Chad Herley and Steve Chen.
Now it is estimated that $ 2.6 billion, Hoffman has been at the forefront of artificial intelligence obsession, while the Chatgpt maker invests in trail blees and startups such as Openai and Infleration. Unlike other prominent technicians who are worried about destroying AI’s humanity, Hoffman has jointly written. A new book called “Spragen” Which makes a hopeful case for AI. He recently spoke to the Associated Press.
Question: Are human beings creating something more smarter than AI?
A: You already have some versions of super intelligence. Obviously, we will increase this super intelligence, so we need to think about what ways it will increase tremendously and in what ways it will make things more challenging.
Humans are generally damaged in transitions, and this is part of the reason for writing books like “Superageency”, trying to say that there are some positive principles of design, there are some positive results to which we have our own way. Try to work.
Q: Do you think it is likely that these super intelligent AI agents will eventually look at the forefront?
A: AI agents are quite useful for coaching and advice. As if you say, “Hey, how do I approach this thorny problem?” An AI agent can be a very good advice coach. And thus you can imagine that it is a useful tutor in various subjects, including spiritual or counseling or mental. And I think it can be positive for the evolution of humanity, to do something to us who is working patiently and trying to help us achieve our best. Therefore, yes, you can get the situation of “consult with Oracle” with AI agents.
Q: What is the risk of accepting some people as a bizarre as a bizarre and being socially isolated?
A: Some of them will definitely be, so some people have separated themselves from the TV or the Internet. A part of it will be about design focus. If you go to the AI ​​agent of Inflection, PI, and say, “Hey you are my best friend,” Pi will say, “No, I’m your AI partner, let’s talk about your friendship Have you recently seen a friend of your own? Yes.
Question: On the other hand, as these AI agents become more human, can it give people more contact with their own humanity?
A: Our humanity is expressed by how we add technology to our lives, just as we are talking through zoom for this interview. I think this is part of our humanity.
Question: By changing the titles, are you worried about President Trump’s retaliation against you? Kamla Harris’s greatest supporter in Silicon Valley Leadership up to last year’s elections?
2024 obviously a very severe year and I’m trying to do what I am trying to do so much about it because in 2025 I’m really going to focus on the fact that I’m really interesting How do I build and fund AI companies and other sectors that help build industries? The difference is my clear hope that the incoming administration will turn to a positive agenda. I feel at the moment that speculations are not really helpful. We will see how it all runs.
Question: Did you wonder how much support President Trump received from other technology billionaires such as Elon Musk and Mark Anderson?
A: It was not surprising that those who were very supportive of crypto currency were supportive of Trump because the Biden administration was very negative on crypto. It is also a fact that the Biden administration – unlike the Obama administration – was not putting too much energy to say, “Hey we think new technology and future new technology companies are really important.” And I think a group of Biden administration staff was somewhat negative on a large, tech companies.
What made me surprised me – and now I am hoping that they are right – that is, they believed that the Trump administration would be very strong and thoughtful throughout the field. Let’s see what happens to the tariff, let’s hope that this will not be particularly challenging.
A: Do you think PayPal’s old fellow Peter Thale and Elon Musk are playing a political chess game?
What is very important about Silicon Valley is a widespread belief – whether it appears to be Peter vs in different ways in me or other people – that is, the creation of new technology companies is the same as how to develop. Is And I think it’s an important mission for the country and the world as well as Silicon Valley. I don’t know how far they are playing chess. But I think they are following this mission and a part of what they are doing is trying to ensure that the mission is fully fulfilled in the Trump administration.
Q: Do you agree with Trump supporters in Silicone Valley that it is time to facilitate the strict tech regulations we have during President Biden’s administration?
A: I do. I hope that technology innovation will be enabled.
Q: Go back to your book, what do you say about it? Nobel Laureate Jeffrey Hinton Like AI’s Now who considers technology a threat to humanity?
A: I classify a lot of risks on the basis of how it is compared to driving at the airport at my risk because whenever you ride car and go to the airport, the most risk of traveling The drive is on the drive and if the risk on the aircraft is in the level of the percentage of the percentage, I don’t worry so much. And, if you say, “Well it’s huge, it can be a human threat.” Then I say, “Well, yes, it’s part of the reason you put more energy to navigate and drive it.”
