Opinions
- Believes in using the simplest sufficient solution, not overcomplicating problems with advanced tech like deep neural networks when simpler models work
- Uses a mathematical metaphor (x vs. x^2) to express a belief in non-linear, accelerated growth that requires enduring an initial slower phase, implying a philosophy of long-term, foundational building
- Questions if the internet has devalued content (like music) or changed consumer willingness to pay
