Vinod Khosla Interviews Larry and Sergey

[txlaw]

There are insights there on the auto industry (think, self driving cars) and a change in work habits (a la Keynes), among other things.  The whole thing is definitely worth watching.

Clearly you haven't studied computer science .. :)

[yadayada]

but it is a very interesting interview :)

 

Im just thinking about how much damage someone with no morals could do if they ran google. Obviously these guys don't have bad intentions and will only use it for good. But it seems google is like a weapon, and 50 years from now there is a decent chance it is run by some sociopath.

I agree completely, only it could be 10-25 years from now.  Absolute worst case disaster scenario: the US Fed-gov nationalizes it and uses it.  It would make Orwell's vision seem optimistic.

Every time I see Vinod Khosla's name I can't help but think about how he used to be a huge cheerleader for ethanol a few years ago. That left a bad taste in my mouth... But thanks for posting the interview, I'll check it out.

I believe Berkowitz does some presentations with ponytail and flip flops. Why not be different?
