Seb Haigh, Letter to Investors, Jan 2024:

In 2011 Marc Andreessen said software is eating the world. In 2017 Andrew Ng said AI is the new electricity. In the first quarter of the 21st century, we’ve arguably learned more about learning than humanity did in the first two million years of our existence. And yet we know we have so much more to learn. Unprecedented threats are closing in on us. Unprecedented opportunities shimmer ahead. Can we harness these incredible technologies to better reach our human potential? Can we learn better, sooner, safer, happier, together? We know we can. Let’s make it so.
