## Quote — verbatim

> AI literally unlocks so much human potential that was locked away because of information asymmetry. So I think a lot of the \[things\] that we thought historically were far away are going to be proven wrong. You're going to see future in the next five years... humanity is going to reach type one civilization \[in\] 50 years with the rate we're going.
