Hi, everybody. Tune in to this short version of the podcast, which we do every Friday, for the long version.

Tune in on Wednesdays.

Hi, everyone. I'm Nicola Tangen, the CEO of the Norwegian Soan Wealth Fund, and I'm here today with

Reid Hoffman, who is the co-founder of LinkedIn, partner at Greylock, board member at Microsoft,

and one of Silicon Valley's

most influential thinkers.

And today we are basically going to talk about everything that's going on, AI, human potential,

all the things you've been up to, Reid.

So, wonderful to have you here.

It's great to be here.

Now, Reid, you've seen multiple tech cycles from Web 1-0 to the current AI boom.

Just how does it stack up compared to what you've seen before?

Well, each new tech cycle, and even if you do a bit of history and you kind of go back to

printing press and other kinds of things as early versions of this is new and impressive and builds upon the old.

And part of the current, you know, AI just, you know, massive acceleration, much bigger than much quicker, much larger, more impact than anything else. It builds on the internet.

It builds on the cloud.

It builds on, you know, kind of the massive amount of data we have and the mass amount

of commute we have, which then makes it possible to build these amazing learning machines.

And so I think it's obviously the largest. Now, in all large things,

you know, like in your industry, the discussion of, you know, is it, is it a bubble? I don't think it is.

If anything, I don't think it's a bubble in the usual description of, you know, could it get to a

collapse. But the impact upon all of society is probably going to be the biggest of our lifetimes.
