"I see many, many young women now — and that's part of what excites me about the startup world — who have left great jobs and said, 'I think I can build something,'" "Eighty percent of them will probably fail at it, but they'll learn a ton, and they'll either be much better when they go back into a corporate job or they'll start a second company and they'll succeed. That's the way that we learn. We learn by making mistakes."

"This team has worked relentlessly from groundbreaking innovations like Community Notes, and, soon, X Money to bringing the most iconic voices and content to the platform"

"There was no point in getting into an argument with this opinionated, old-fashioned lady. But women feel a lot of such pressures. You can’t be just strong, you have to be super-strong and be extremely determined to overcome these challenges"

"If you genuinely want to have a multifaceted career that takes you into multiple industries, then I think you have to be willing to fail."

"When [Musk] and I first spoke of his vision for X, I knew it would be the opportunity of a lifetime to carry out the extraordinary mission of this company. I'm immensely grateful to him for entrusting me with the responsibility of protecting free speech, turning the company around, and transforming X into the Everything App"

"I'll be cheering you all on as you continue to change the world"

"We have taken on 23,000 people, in addition to the 62,000 that we had. This has taken our combined strength to 85,000"

"The global M&A team drove the deal. I was involved as it had a big impact on India"

"By January, we will start operating as a single company"

"Nobody retires from these jobs. You will be fired at some point."

"May be because I never really faced them. I come from an environment where you are treated as an individual — you do what you have to do"

"So I have no nice story to tell you about how I overcame anything"

"But then I realized there was some merit in talking to women, people who are thinking of leaving for family and such reasons, and tell them it was high time they stood up for themselves"

"There is no glass ceiling. It is a myth. If it exists, it is in your head. I have worked in the IT industry for the last 27 years, and I know it doesn’t exist. Our growth rates are so high, our industry is so hungry for talent, why would there be any discrimination? Get over this.”“Wipe out any guilt today. Even if you have an iota of it, you will hesitate"

"My daughter may be the greatest looking thing on Earth, but you can’t spend 18 hours a day looking at her. It’s also social conditioning that makes you feel that the baby needs you. I figured out that the baby doesn’t even need you. They just need someone to wash them and take care of them"

"As we know, senior leaders often seek informal counsel from coaches, mentors or other seniors in this industry which are all purely informal in nature. In a similar strain I felt that this guidance would help me perform my role better"

"India bourse head was a 'puppet' of unnamed yogi, regulators say,14 February 2022"

"Because it's one of the great jobs," in a recent interview for Business Insider's podcast, "Success! How I Did It."

"And finally, one has to have fire in the belly and a strong desire to succeed – without that you don’t get anywhere"

"I met him for the first time on the banks of the Ganges nearly 20 years ago directly. Subsequently, over the years I have taken his guidance on many personal and professional matters. Along the way, since he would manifest at will and I did not have any locational co-ordinates I requested him for a way in which I could seek his guidance whenever I felt the need. Accordingly, he gave me an id on which I could send my requests"

"Their spiritual powers do not require them to have any such physical coordinates and would manifest at will"

"I have met him on occasions in holy places. No locational co-ordinates are given"

"If computers were human, they’d present themselves as autistic, schizophrenic, or otherwise brittle. It would be unwise or dangerous for that person to take care of children and cook meals, but it’s on the horizon for home robots. That’s like saying, ‘We have an important job to do, but we’re going to hire dogs and cats to do it.'"

"Sometimes the veneer of intelligence is not enough."

""What we needed, is nothing less than an “AI Manhattan Project”, a full frontal assault on common sense: the challenge is to create an Encyclopédia of Common sense", Michio Kaku citing Lenat."

"The time may come when a greatly expanded Cyc will underlie countless software applications. But reaching that goal could easily take another two decades."

"Intelligence is ten million rules. This refers to the prior and tacit knowledge that authors presume their readers all possess (such as "if person x knows person y, then x's date of death can't be earlier than y's date of birth") not counting the vastly larger number of "facts" such as one might find in Wikipedia or by Googling."

"Once you have a truly massive amount of information integrated as knowledge, then the human-software system will be superhuman, in the same sense that mankind with writing is superhuman compared to mankind before writing."

"”Current AI technologies like LLMs and convolutional neural networks are focused on effective absorption of large-scale training data and fulfilment of queries based on the information in this data.”"

"“The more we can be our best selves' (which includes becoming less attached to our “selves” as traditionally conceived) in the coming period, the more likely we are to make judicious choices as we move toward AGI and then ASI.”"

"“This sort of technology, on its own, seems clearly not capable of producing HLAGI — but does seem very promising as a component of integrated multi-module AGI systems. This sort of technology is also not capable of real moral agency or ethical understanding.”"

"“The concept of open-ended intelligence is also important to reflect on. The fundamental nature of AGI systems is to pursue the complementary and sometimes contradictory meta-goals of individuation (maintenance of system boundaries) and self-transcendence (growing beyond oneself and leaping into the great unknown) … and this means that whatever algorithms one uses to seed an AGI, it is highly possible that as it grows and learns and reflects on its own nature and improves its own software and hardware infrastructure, it will end up with different algorithms entirely.”"

"“We do not have a clear picture regarding how much influence our specific actions will have on the nature of the Singularity we get. It may be that certain sorts of AGI or ASI are very likely to emerge without close dependence on the details of their early stages. However, it seems intelligent to at least pursue the hypothesis that, by being purposive about the nature of the early-stage AGI we create, we can nudge the following stages of AGI evolution in beneficial ways.”"

"The main bottlenecks in humanoid robotics are actually software bottlenecks, not hardware bottlenecks."

"Humanoid robotics is becoming popular post DeepSeek for mostly kind of shallow and commercial reasons where people are like, 'Well, if there's no software, what can we invest in?'"

"Interactive storytelling with the robot helps the AI enter into the same mind space as a human child while being there in the same physical space."

"I think having a humanoid robot as one of the embodiments of your in-development proto AGI... can be valuable for building out its knowledge base and its value system."

"AI tools themselves have become accelerators of AI progress, making the work faster and faster — this is an indication that the singularity is indeed near."

"Having been around for the creation of Sophia and participating in the development of this Mindchild bort, It’s just remarkable how much faster this development can happen now than a year ago."

""There's still this one big heroic task for humans to come together and cooperate in building AGI, but now is the time to do it. We're at a very interesting time for AI developers to jump in... within a couple of months the super fast version is going to be dealing with practical problems”"

"The ASI chain, launching later this summer, is the first layer 1 blockchain designed specifically for decentralised AGI, with the smart contract language Meta, the same AGI programming language we've developed."

"The ASI Alliance is an unusual merger where different organisations like Singularity, Fetch, Ocean, and Cudos remain distinct but merged their tokens into one, now called the ASI token for artificial super intelligence."

"By having different shards of the ASI chain dedicated to different types of AI — from decentralised finance to training neural models — we can tailor the infrastructure for specific AI tasks."

"In 2017, we launched the AGI token, and since then we’ve been building out decentralised AI infrastructure in parallel with developing concrete AGI systems like Hyperon."

"Blockchain is the best technology we have today for coordinating a large global network of machines without a central owner or controller."

"We’re not the only ones to think about decentralised AI — projects like Fetch.ai and Ocean Protocol were also exploring these concepts in 2017-18."

"Not everything you would do at the AI level needs to be a smart contract, but having that portability between the AI level and the infrastructure level is great for flexibility."

"“I am actively working to bring BGI about, sooner rather than later. And I think you probably should be too.”"

"The human-level AGI barrier is arbitrary, more like the escape velocity of Earth... it's just a milestone in AGI's progression as they get smarter."
