The following is a conversation with Mark Andreessen, co-creator of Mosaic, the first widely used web browser, co-founder of Netscape, co-founder of the legendary Silicon Valley venture capital firm, Andreessen Horowitz, and is one of the most outspoken voices on the future of technology, including his most recent article, Why AI Will Save the World.

And now a quick few second mention of each sponsor. Check them out in the description. It's the best way to support this podcast.

We've got Inside Tracker for tracking your health, ExpressVPN for keeping your privacy and security on the internet, and AG1 for my daily multivitamin drink to utilize them, my friends.

Also, if you want to work with our amazing team, we're always hiring good electsfreedman.com slash hiring.

And now onto the full ad reads, as always, no ads in the middle. I try to make this interesting, but if you skip them, please still check out our sponsors. I enjoy their stuff, maybe you will too.

This show is brought to you by Inside Tracker, a service I use to track whatever the heck is going on inside my body using data, blood test data,

that includes all kinds of information, and that raw signals processes machine learning to tell me what I need to do with my life, how I need to change improve my diet, how I need to change improve my lifestyle, all that kind of stuff.

I'm a big fan of using as much raw data that comes from my own body, processed through generalized machine learning models to give a prediction, to give a suggestion.

This is obviously the future and the more data the better. And so companies like Inside Tracker are doing an amazing job of taking the leap into that world of personalized data and personalized data driven suggestion on my huge supporter of it turns out that luckily I'm pretty healthy.

Surprisingly so, but then I look at the life and the limb and the health of Sir Winston Churchill, who probably had the unhealthiest sort of diet and lifestyle of any human ever and lived for quite a long time, and as far as I can tell, was quite nimble and agile into his old age.

Anyway, get special safes for a limited time when you go to Inside Tracker.com slash Lex.

This show is also brought to you by ExpressVPN. I use them to protect my privacy on the internet. It's the first layer of protection in this dangerous cyber world of ours that soon will be populated by human like or superhuman intelligent AI systems that will trick you and try to get you to do all kinds of stuff.

It's going to be a wild wild world in the 21st century cyber security, the attackers, the defenders, it's going to be a tricky world. Anyway, VPN is a basic shield you should always have with you in this battle for privacy for security, all that kind of stuff.

What I like about it also is that it's just a well-implementable software that's constantly updated. It works well across a large number of operating systems. It does one thing and it does it really well. I've used it for many, many years before you had a podcast before they were sponsor.

I have always loved ExpressVPN with a big sexy button that just has a power symbol you press in and turns on. It's beautifully simple.

Good ExpressVPN.com slash Lex.bod for an extra three months free.

This show is also brought to you by Athletic Greens and it's AG1 Drink. It's an all-in-one daily drink to support better health and peak performance. I drink it at least twice a day now.

In the crazy Austin Heat, it's over 100 degrees for many days in a row. There's few things that feel as good as coming home from a long run and making it an AG1 drink, putting in the fridge.

So it's nice and cold. I jump in the shower, come back, drink it. I'm ready to take on the rest of the day.

I'm kicking ass, empowered by the knowledge that I got all my vitamins and minerals covered.

It's the foundation for all the wild things I'm doing, mentally and physically with the rest of the day.

Anyway, they'll give you a one month supply of fish oil when you sign up at drinkag1.com slash Lex. That's drinkag1.com slash Lex.
