This guy spoke at my college 25 years ago and was a legend then and still is today

[@shakespearejames7110]

What college?

[@RosaLei]

It's almost sureal seeing the rapid saturation of AI and if you think of the unlimited use cases for robotics under the influence of AI, it's astounding! To think how many more levels we can be served by robots instead of humans and how freeing from repeative drudgery it can mean. I hope we can be aided in shedding dysfunction and violence and be guided by being the best versions of ourselves despite human nature. 😊

[@Ari_diwan]

Yes love it ❣️

In the description, his name is Vinod Khosla, not Vinod Khosia

[@noobicorn_gamer]

Inorite lol Jesus Forbes…

[@pratiknaikedu]

We'll probably get music generated by how we're feeling at any given moment, similar to how a light bar is behind TVs that change the ambient light scheme based on what is going on on screen.

[@mabalbhat9392]

AI is materialization of collective intelligence or connected intelligence. Human logic theorized connected intelligence thousands of years ago. Glad to see leaders like Vinod with positive thinking in the steering wheel. Amazing time!

[@skylineuk1485]

Great interview

[@Mo_2077]

True words

[@bijuramakrishnapillai3342]

Excellent performance by both. It was quite interesting and informative. Amazing breadth and depth.

[@felixwalton4612]

the AI moment has hardly even begun

[@sunmand6136]

Exactly, we are still in the dugout. Wait till the usecases innings kickoff. That's when AI really begins to shine.

[@strallent]

15:38 That is an Extremely Powerful Vision of the Future! We will live in a totally different world in 10 to 20 years from now. Humanoid Robots walking around in public, eVTOLs, people living and working in the Metaverse, AI dominating the customer service industry, and self-driving vehicles and AI controlled aircrafts will probably be a common thing. The Future is definitely interesting and exciting...I hope I am still alive to witness it. 😎

[@amiprasis]

@forbes please correct the spelling. It is Khosla not Khosia.

[@EcomCarl]

Vinod's insights on AI's transformative potential in sectors like healthcare and education underscore a thrilling future. The concept of AI becoming a more intuitive and user-adaptive technology could revolutionize how we interact with digital environments and enhance accessibility across various fields. 🚀

[@theone3129]

Imagine a AGI Humanoid Robot that can do anything for you, scale a current business, go on a computer and do tasks for you, drive and go to the grocery store, basically do anything for you

[@jimj2683]

Robot rights activists will make the government ban them. They will argue that the robots have feelings too or that they cause people to dehumanize others.

[@Ari_diwan]

Yes , the key is anti goal - do not die young, do not get into accidents etc , be safe and exercise, the world will only become better and I want to be alive to experience all of that 🙏

[@PeterBellUK]

​@@Ari_diwan have you heard of Bryan Johnson's "Don't Die" movement? It's precisely this

[@Ari_diwan]

@@PeterBellUK yeah I know, he was also on dr Mike's podcast recently

11:10 Vinod Khosla on GPT5

[@Jontheinternet]

Technology as always been used to explain more people at a greater and greater scale. And this will be mine blowing Lee exponential. Up until now, corporations have needed us and treated us like garbage. Do we somehow think when they don't need us and we are replaced that they will treat us better and give us free money? No. This will not end well for anyone but the wealthy

[@polozovv]

What are technologies that Vindo mentions at 19:14 ?

[@shashwatsingh8708]

Vindo?

[@shashwatsingh8708]

Fusion, mach 5 flight

[@Photobuffeddy_AGS]

This is scary I’d be carful 😮😮

[@tayler2396]

I like that he says out loud what we all know, but no one wants to say: this is a race and the "liberal values" countries need to win the AI race and maintain the lead.

[@ahsanmohammed1]

Please use better audio Vinod. Thanks

[@vin7884]

His name is Vinod Khosla, not Vinod Khosia

[@investingvazir]

Its Vinod Khosla, not Vinod Khosia.

[@elon-69-musk]

cool guy

[@shantanunagargoje7242]

Its Khosla*

[@ryanloftin6663]

What was that 7/11 joke 01:30? Weird comment given the historical context of those types of jokes..

[@rachitpant3357]

That racist comment was there on purpose. Have no doubt about it. Also the fact forbes hasn’t heard of khosla ventures and misspel his name and company is not an accident . Speaks a lot about them and the dark side of the country.

[@Kudagraz]

@@rachitpant3357 racism? give me a break

[@caisantangyi]

i’m pretty sure he was just reading the prepared script and mis read 24/7 to 7/11, and promptly corrected.

[@NickDrinksWater]

give us the robos!

[@PikasoArts]

Khosla Ventures ***

[@rameshg2717]

If u do not slow down now.. We will have Ai or ai based companies which will blackmail people and we may have no choice.. Right now all companies have to become a technology company or technology companies will get into all industries.

[@vickmackey24]

He dodged the question at the end. So should we assume he doesn't really make much use of AI yet? 🤔

[@robertcharles775]

This is awful. How come no legislators are limiting the use and growth of AI technology? Chat GPT and smaller forms of AI are okay but beyond that the situation is going too far. Does anyone in tech have any integrity? This needs to be limited to protect users, to protect the public and to protect human job access

[@SnakesGaming2016]

Open source is the necessary future of AI. F these walled gardens and corporate control.

[@gerdaleta]

😮the singularities happening so fast😮 the thing he's talking about has already happened the GDt moment was what Nvidia showed😮 and the Chinese robots popping up left in fuking right😮

[@aniriddhaw.6289]

You asked people to be as diverse as possible. No one hires diverse people either in large companies or in teams

[@Midjourney_Magic]

The host thinks he's pretty clever and witty. He's not.

[@LarisaPetrenko2992]

Waiting for the times when I can program with human language 🥜🥜🥜

[@ashishkharangate1110]

This guy born in India despite his riches did not do anything for his country India

[@deeplearningpartnership]

Yeah, he's a sell out alright.

[@brianjanson3498]

He is working on things that will impact the world. India is part of that world.

[@jacqdanieles]

Why do you make an untrue, negative, ignorant comment when a simple 5 word search proves otherwise? _"On Monday morning, he tweeted that the Khosla family is adding $10 million to the _*_Give India Foundation_*_ and hoping others will join in"_ 3 May 2021

[@jacqdanieles]

_"During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in April 2021, Khosla made a generous contribution to support the importation of oxygen for hospitals in India. Vinod intends to establish a venture capital fund that will primarily invest in companies dedicated to addressing the needs of underprivileged communities in India, Africa, and other regions. These companies will focus on delivering essential services such as healthcare, energy, and education"_

[@LL-wn8yw]

No need for schools or workers. Ai will do all thinking and robots all work.

[@curtis4176]

All I think and I believe not one it is.

[@timelapsega]

Couldnt we just make like 10,000 ai robots and teach them how to make more robots until we all just have a bunch of robots doing everything for us?

Wasn’t Elon OpenAI’s first real investor?

[@knot3d_]

But has AI cured cancer yet? Or any other serious illness for that matter...

More more more... Means less value. The more rare something is, the more value it has.. the more common smthg is, the less value it has

What keeps him up at night ? Hopefully not the fear of death.

why why in the world was that joke? "are you a swiftie?"

How many years after birth did it take you to learn physics?

interviewr is so rude “Are you a SWIFTIE???”

[@YoungMoneyFuture]

Are you a swiftie? What kind of stupid irrelevant question is that??

[@deeplearningpartnership]

Haha

[@polozovv]

To be honest, I didn’t even understand that question. Is that relevant?

[@creative-freedom]

Sitting on pile of cash and predicting this will happen, that will happen.. is happening for 1000s of years and is very easy.. This guy will be known for this type of blabbermouth in the future. I respect ppl who does things. Sam Altman, etc..

[@UjjwalQo]

Eh? Do you have any idea who he is?

[@SmilingMoon-sw1kt]

Yes brown man. People know who Khosla is.

[@Kenny-tl7ir]

Interviewer is a joke.

[@Ma-pz5kl]

UBIQUITY ...!

[@elba_magellan]

Wow interviewer sucked so bad. Waste opportunity at genuine inquiry.

[@abcdefghi9]

Vinod needs to stop dreaming and get back to reality, lets try and make GPT 5 work properly first.
