Reid Hoffman just wrote the book on how to prepare.\nAccording to Reid, every major tech breakthrough (the written word, the printing press, the telephone) triggered mass fear. But, contrary to our worries, new technology tends to enhance human agency—even more so, if you know how to use it well.\nReid is the cofounder of LinkedIn, Inflection AI, and Manas AI; a partner at venture capital firm Greylock Partners; an early backer and board member of OpenAI; and an award-winning podcaster\nWe spent an hour talking about how to develop a compass for navigating AGI. Here are a few takeaways:\nOur sense of human agency is not just about external control but an internal stance—how we approach uncertainty & new tech is crucial\nIn new technology waves, NO blueprint or plan will have the right answers. Instead, adapting to new technology requires broad access, an experimental mindset, and flexibility\nIn an AGI world most jobs will transform, not disappear—and how you can prepare with hands-on trial and error\nHow certain social norms and ethics should change as AGI changes the landscape—like individual access to personal data\nWhy now may be finally be the era where quantified self tools become valuable\n…and more, including everything in his new book Superagency, out this week.\nIt was a pleasure to have him on the show for a second time. This is a must-watch for anyone who wants to help build a more human future with AI.\nIf you found this episode interesting, please like, subscribe, comment, and share!\nWant even more?
