Said on No Priors

“These drag and drop workflow builders is a painful level of abstraction because it's too complex for non-technical users and it's annoyingly abstracted for technical users. Code is a better way of building automations. The problem, obviously, is not many people can write code and do it quickly enough for it to make sense for automation. And so as AI made this possible, that was what it clicked for both of us.” — Jake Stauch, No Priors

“We don't have a token leaderboard. We don't encourage it. We encourage people to focus on the output. They're not graded on if they used it. They're graded on what they've shipped and what they've built.” — Dane Knecht, No Priors

“Previously on the internet, we would see these log4j moments or these shell shock type of incidents maybe once a year. And it would be all hands on deck internally at Cloudflare… These things are now happening weekly.” — Dane Knecht, No Priors

“Basically, the comment is: we got into AI. We went all in. The costs were out of control. Token maxing stopped when people got big bills. ... The open weight models right now are so good, even if they're three months behind, it's plenty for what we need.” — George Kurtz, No Priors

“What people don't necessarily realize is that even with zero vulnerabilities, which I hope the industry can get there, you're still going to have breaches. Because a lot of what we see people today doing is they're not necessarily breaking in. They're logging in.” — George Kurtz, No Priors

“The internet's really been built for resilience, not necessarily for security. And I think that what we're going to see now is a moment where a lot of that debt, a lot of that tech debt is going to come to the surface. It's time for us to pay it down.” — Greg Brockman, No Priors

“I have a feeling that cyber spend, security spend, should actually vastly outstrip software spend. I really think that. ... When I look at the world we're going to be in, where software in some ways is becoming ... so cheap ... you don't just want software, right? You want software that is reliable, that is secure, that you can believe in.” — Greg Brockman, No Priors

“Open models are Trojan horses for the infrastructure that they bring with them. So you have an open model, but that alone is not very useful. So you buy into the entire software ecosystem and infrastructure ecosystem of a given country.” — Misha Laskin, No Priors

“We don't want the AIs to be unbanked. We want to bank the AIs. They deserve financial services as well.” — Brian Armstrong, No Priors

“I'm going to be ultimately fairly disappointed if I'm murdered by my pancreas.” — Max Hodak, No Priors

“Well, if you want to make people angry, you should tell the internet that the brain is a computer.” — Max Hodak, No Priors
