He made the money, bought the Lamborghini, and achieved the freedom he had imagined since childhood.\n\nThen he tried retirement.\n\n“It was so empty,” he says. “It was so empty.”\n\nSuccess forced Brett to confront a question failure had allowed him to postpone: What is all this capability for?\n\nHis search led inward through mystical experiences, psychedelics, meditation, and the writing of Love Conquers Fear. It also changed how he understood the responsibilities of technologists as artificial intelligence expands humanity’s power.\n\nIn this conversation, we explore success and emptiness, the uneven development of powerful people, love as an expansion of who counts, the structural dangers surrounding AI, and why inner work matters even though it cannot replace regulation, accountability, or distributed ownership.\n\nWe have moved from “revenge of the nerds” to “responsibility of the nerds.”\n\nThe AI alignment problem begins within.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/kLXNCOLMRmPXStMTgWCjEZUlm9PaHyn73cAJMCAaEo4/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS81M2Nm/NTNmNTc4MmVmZjI4/YmVjZTEwMDFmNzU1/ZWFiZC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
