00:10that AI is going to make humans redundant and so on. I totally disagree with this point of view,

00:20possible for people to identify more problems. We have an endless set of things to invent,
00:25and we are only limited. Today, we are limited not by our imaginations, but by what we can actually
00:33do. I promise you, every single person in this audience has had an idea for a new business or
00:40a new product or a new device that they wish they could manufacture, and that idea stayed in your
00:46head and went nowhere. And the reason it stayed in your head and went nowhere is because it's too
00:53hard to do and it wasn't worth it. And if we can accelerate the dream build loop, all of the
00:58ideas will then become possible, and then we end up being limited not by our capabilities,
01:03but by our imaginations.
