I’m treating A.I with C.O: Cautious Optimism. Explosive technological growth is nothing new. It feels like I’ve been running to keep up with the shockwaves of rapid innovation since the late 70s. Then, at ten or eleven years old, playing with the plastic prototypes of the first generation of products that would form the computer electronics revolution of the 70s and 80s, the pace of innovation was breathtaking. So, as I watch OpenAI’s latest presentation promoting yet more human-like upgrades to their GPT platform, it feels strangely familiar.

But the good news is you’ve earned resilience and resourcefulness along the way, and it is one of the most sought after traits in a founder.
