Are We Building the Terminator? Quantum Expert Answer

Welcome, listeners! I'm so glad you're here. Today, I have an amazing hot topic. I am so ready to dive in. Here we are, Pete Sacco, founder of PTS Data Center Solutions. Hi, Pete!

2

00:00:21,210 --> 00:00:25,500

Pete Sacco: Hi, Melinda, I'm so excited that you're having me on. Thanks so much for this.

3

00:00:25,730 --> 00:00:29,410

Melinda Lee: I am ready to dive in, because this conversation.

4

00:00:29,410 --> 00:00:33,649

Pete Sacco: is what I feel like everybody needs to hear right now. Yeah, I hope so.

5

00:00:33,650 --> 00:00:41,890

Melinda Lee: Well, I think so, too. A lot of people think AI is going to end humanity, but in your case, you don't think so.

6

00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:52,070

Melinda Lee: Yeah, and your quote is, it's not here to end humanity, it's more like a mirror that reveals how deeply human that we can become.

7

00:00:52,070 --> 00:01:09,659

Pete Sacco: I think it's so powerful, it gives me, like, the butterflies and just, like, goosebumps, and so… I want to be that anti-Terminator mentality, that's what I got, right? We have enough negativity in the world, there needs to be some positivity, but it is not unfounded.

8

00:01:09,710 --> 00:01:16,250

Melinda Lee: Yes, and so how did you… I… we need to hear it. More people need to hear this story and conversation.

9

00:01:16,250 --> 00:01:20,190

Pete Sacco: My background started, you know, as a quantum physicist.

10

00:01:20,190 --> 00:01:24,220

Melinda Lee: And so, I have this quantum background, a sense of…

11

00:01:24,220 --> 00:01:41,580

Pete Sacco: the structure of the universe, small particle physics, but I didn't want to be a teacher, so I went into engineering, and I like telling the story that I am 58 years old, and that's pertinent to the story because I was born in 1967, exactly 9 years before the

12

00:01:41,630 --> 00:02:00,670

Pete Sacco: George Lucas made Star Wars just for me, right? And so at 9 years old, it was why I wanted to become a technologist. I wanted to be part of the world, the future of the world, and leverage technology. And so engineering was a way that I could be both the people person that I thrive.

13

00:02:00,670 --> 00:02:18,860

Pete Sacco: but also deeply rooted in technology. And so, amongst my friends today, I'm a bit of a unicorn, right? Because at 58 years old, I'm supposed to be sliding into home plate, roughly now, but I feel like I'm just getting started. I was actually created for this moment, where I'm actually seeing

14

00:02:18,860 --> 00:02:21,049

Pete Sacco: Both of my worlds collide.

15

00:02:21,050 --> 00:02:29,650

Pete Sacco: My quantum background and building data centers, which is my day job, that's most of the companies I own are around building data centers and AI companies and things like that.

16

00:02:29,650 --> 00:02:46,770

Pete Sacco: is colliding with consciousness and ancient mystic wisdom that we're seeing the math play out right now. And so, I'm loving the fact that where we are headed in humanity has

17

00:02:46,860 --> 00:02:51,709

Pete Sacco: to me, uplifting. And so, I want to share the stories as to why.

18

00:02:52,020 --> 00:03:05,309

Melinda Lee: I am so thrilled. I mean, really, because sometimes I do get immersed in all the stories, and the end of humanity, and I get so afraid. And so tell me, like, how did you land with this quote?

19

00:03:05,310 --> 00:03:18,499

Melinda Lee: I guess because you're noticing the, like you said, the world's colliding, and we want to be able to turn the tables and see how we can, use AI and use technology in our favor.

20

00:03:18,500 --> 00:03:41,799

Pete Sacco: Well, and that's exactly right. So, it first started when I started… now, you gotta remember, once I went to engineering, I studied, actually, artificial intelligence in its infancy, so right now, we gotta remember, AI is, like, the oldest new technology that there is. It's been around a long time. What we have now is just the juxtaposition of the perfect time where compute dropped…

21

00:03:42,500 --> 00:03:46,389

Pete Sacco: inexpensively enough, NVIDIA GPUs.

22

00:03:46,390 --> 00:04:06,069

Pete Sacco: and human data modeling is at an all-time high, and so the technology was ripe for the amount of compute, the speed of the compute, and the right people to program it to come up with where AI is today. And AI today, right now, which everybody knows, GPT, right?

23

00:04:06,070 --> 00:04:06,510

Melinda Lee: The food?

24

00:04:06,510 --> 00:04:14,930

Pete Sacco: transformer technologies, and large language models, that's what these are. They're basically really, really good pattern-matching machines.

25

00:04:15,390 --> 00:04:34,779

Pete Sacco: So, let's remember that what they're doing is taking all of what we've written in the public sphere, actually, copyrighted or not, let's put that aside as a separate subject, right? We've broken all kinds of copyright laws, but we're not going backwards. We took, basically, human knowledge

26

00:04:34,780 --> 00:04:43,419

Pete Sacco: And then we've memorized it. So if human knowledge said that there's… we're saying this a lot more times, that's what it's gonna spit back to us.

27

00:04:43,420 --> 00:04:53,420

Pete Sacco: Let's also remember that if it's wrong, we're gonna get the wrong answer, right? And we as humans, we're fallible, right? So we're not always right, we think we're always right, until we're not.

28

00:04:53,550 --> 00:04:59,850

Pete Sacco: And so, right now, the nature of AI is it's just spitting back to us our own knowledge.

29

00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,110

Melinda Lee: No problem.

30

00:05:01,670 --> 00:05:09,289

Pete Sacco: I'm pretty well, you know, known for saying the following. If AI was a clock, a 24-hour clock.

31

00:05:09,290 --> 00:05:11,510

Melinda Lee: We're only at 2 AM.

32

00:05:11,530 --> 00:05:17,399

Pete Sacco: We've got 22 hours left to go until we fully realize what AI's potential is.

33

00:05:17,850 --> 00:05:18,870

Pete Sacco: by noon.

34

00:05:19,110 --> 00:05:22,779

Pete Sacco: Halfway through, We will not recognize the world.

35

00:05:23,260 --> 00:05:24,319

Melinda Lee: This is…

36

00:05:24,550 --> 00:05:30,279

Pete Sacco: Simply put, the most profound technology that man has ever invented.

37

00:05:30,650 --> 00:05:31,530

Pete Sacco: Okay.

38

00:05:31,790 --> 00:05:35,899

Pete Sacco: So, let's back up a second, and let's put it in context.

39

00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:38,240

Pete Sacco: The context is this.

40

00:05:38,770 --> 00:05:44,979

Pete Sacco: Every time, every generation has been shaped by the technology that it grew up with.

41

00:05:45,310 --> 00:05:48,490

Pete Sacco: Right? Dating way back to… let's go back to…

42

00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:57,890

Pete Sacco: when Gutenberg invented the printing press, when he decided that he was going to print words.

43

00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,680

Pete Sacco: His critics said that it was going to spread chaos and heresy.

44

00:06:03,060 --> 00:06:18,729

Pete Sacco: But that's not actually what happened. What he did was democratize knowledge for the first time, and what it did was made knowledge accessible not just to the elites, but to everybody, and it wound up ushering in the era of enlightenment.

45

00:06:19,770 --> 00:06:28,549

Pete Sacco: You could step forward and we could talk about that same scenario of looking at the innovation with fear over and over again.

46

00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:33,529

Pete Sacco: Electricity was going to blind us. We were going to lose our circadian rhythms.

47

00:06:33,530 --> 00:06:50,449

Pete Sacco: Right? In school, remember they said you couldn't walk in with a calculator, because if you didn't learn long division, you weren't going to go anywhere. Well, guess what? Now we have a calculator that we walk around with, and by the way, it can call people, and text people, and order pizza, and do all of the things that we do.

48

00:06:50,510 --> 00:06:53,200

Pete Sacco: The calculator didn't ruin mathematics.

49

00:06:53,840 --> 00:06:57,160

Pete Sacco: Electricity didn't ruin our circadian rhythm.

50

00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,530

Melinda Lee: Democratization of knowledge didn't make us forget.

51

00:07:00,660 --> 00:07:02,900

Pete Sacco: We actually thrived.

52

00:07:03,250 --> 00:07:04,770

Pete Sacco: as human beings.

53

00:07:04,830 --> 00:07:06,600

Melinda Lee: Right. This technology…

54

00:07:06,770 --> 00:07:11,460

Pete Sacco: Is going to allow us to thrive beyond our wildest dreams.

55

00:07:11,460 --> 00:07:11,800

Melinda Lee: Right.

56

00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:18,309

Pete Sacco: When people have the negative first instance, the first thing I do is ask them the what-if.

57

00:07:18,530 --> 00:07:25,740

Pete Sacco: What if the endgame of this is that we live in a world of post-scarcity.

58

00:07:26,180 --> 00:07:34,200

Pete Sacco: Where nothing is actually… where there is no crime, because there is no want, because there is no need.

59

00:07:34,330 --> 00:07:42,059

Pete Sacco: Because we've advanced so far That virtually everything needed for us is virtually free.

60

00:07:42,060 --> 00:07:48,099

Melinda Lee: That would be, wonderful. And I think it's… I know it's possible.

61

00:07:48,100 --> 00:07:48,530

Pete Sacco: Where'd you go.

62

00:07:48,530 --> 00:07:52,560

Melinda Lee: The challenge is that most people are in fear right now.

63

00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:52,900

Pete Sacco: Yes.

64

00:07:52,900 --> 00:08:02,279

Melinda Lee: People are in lack. And so, if we're reflecting that, we're going to continue to propagate it. That's what is the…

65

00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:03,929

Pete Sacco: And I don't want to diminish it.

66

00:08:03,930 --> 00:08:04,480

Melinda Lee: Mmm.

67

00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,309

Pete Sacco: Transition from here to there.

68

00:08:07,940 --> 00:08:13,120

Pete Sacco: It's gonna be maybe some of the most dystopic time in human history.

69

00:08:13,570 --> 00:08:18,490

Pete Sacco: Because we've identified ourselves for 10,000 years.

70

00:08:19,020 --> 00:08:20,569

Pete Sacco: by our utility.

71

00:08:20,570 --> 00:08:22,060

Melinda Lee: By what we do.

72

00:08:22,110 --> 00:08:23,970

Pete Sacco: How productive we are.

73

00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:32,969

Pete Sacco: However, I think what we're about to realize is that's never what the universe needed from us. It didn't need us to do anything.

74

00:08:33,100 --> 00:08:39,430

Pete Sacco: What it needs us to do is be human, to do only those things that humans can do.

75

00:08:40,010 --> 00:08:45,530

Pete Sacco: You know how humanity is. When we learn something new that improves

76

00:08:45,980 --> 00:08:53,800

Pete Sacco: efficiency. That's 10 times cheaper, 10 times faster, 10 times better. We don't just gravitate to that thing.

77

00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,129

Pete Sacco: We snap to that thing.

78

00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:10,380

Pete Sacco: Perfect example. In 19… there's a famous picture, this was a story told by Tony Siba, I believe he's a Stanford professor, and he talked about that in 10 years, and this was a few years ago, but his… his position was in 10 years.

79

00:09:11,670 --> 00:09:13,220

Pete Sacco: Nobody will own a car.

80

00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:31,520

Pete Sacco: that we will have gotten away from using cars, which we're seeing right before our eyes, right? Rideshare, and we're seeing electronic electric cars, and autonomous vehicles, and all of that right before our eyes. So this is back a few years ago, he said that in 10 years, we wouldn't see a car. His position for that was this idea of rapid change. So he puts up a slide

81

00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:39,729

Pete Sacco: 1900 Easter Day Parade in New York City, taken from a tower up, and all down the street, as far as you could see, is nothing but horses.

82

00:09:39,730 --> 00:09:54,309

Pete Sacco: Right? Because that's where we were. We were a horse-drawn society. That was 1900. In 1909, he shows the same picture, the 9 years later, Easter Parade, looks down the same Broadway, nothing but cars.

83

00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,039

Pete Sacco: That was 9 years!

84

00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:11,739

Pete Sacco: In 1900, the turn of the century, and in less than 9 years, we went from a completely agrarian society to a completely mechanized society, before the internet, before the massive things that we have.

85

00:10:11,740 --> 00:10:13,490

Melinda Lee: So imagine now.

86

00:10:13,610 --> 00:10:24,010

Pete Sacco: That the order of improvements that we are going to see across fill-in-the-blank, Material science, healthcare, longevity. Healthspan.

87

00:10:24,810 --> 00:10:32,760

Pete Sacco: compute processing. The amount of knowledge that we are about to have at our disposal is going to be staggering.

88

00:10:33,230 --> 00:10:34,170

Melinda Lee: Right.

89

00:10:35,110 --> 00:10:45,350

Melinda Lee: Yes, and… and yes, the amount, the… the time that it takes to get, to acquire it, the how much it takes to acquire it… Yes.

90

00:10:46,030 --> 00:10:51,330

Melinda Lee: And so… and so when you say that you're going… we can be deeply human.

91

00:10:51,330 --> 00:10:51,750

Pete Sacco: Yeah.

92

00:10:51,750 --> 00:10:57,679

Melinda Lee: How… how's that possible, with all this information and technology and rapid change?

93

00:10:57,680 --> 00:11:01,399

Pete Sacco: What I, what I basically like to, suppose

94

00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:11,470

Pete Sacco: Is that the machines are going to build wealth for us, rather than us having to build wealth for ourselves.

95

00:11:11,700 --> 00:11:25,089

Pete Sacco: The first bastion, I started with the idea that the AI right now is a pattern recognition machine. In 2026, we're going to see the world is going to be awash with agentic AI.

96

00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:42,020

Pete Sacco: Magentic AI is going to be that every process that we have to do that is a mechanical digital process out, filling applications, doing our banking, you know, you name the multitude of things that we have to do, there's going to be agents

97

00:11:42,020 --> 00:11:50,510

Pete Sacco: that are gonna do all of those things for us. And when we learn that it does it highly accurately, right down to driving a car.

98

00:11:50,550 --> 00:11:55,560

Pete Sacco: We will never drive a car again. We will never do

99

00:11:55,630 --> 00:12:06,780

Pete Sacco: manual filling out applications again. We will never do the things that we do today without leveraging the Agentic AI, and we will come to trust it and appreciate it.

100

00:12:06,950 --> 00:12:07,330

Melinda Lee: Hmm.

101

00:12:07,330 --> 00:12:15,620

Pete Sacco: That's going to lead to the 2030s. And the 2030s, going into 2030, is going to be the era of robotics.

102

00:12:15,730 --> 00:12:20,540

Pete Sacco: And if there was ever a time in human history that we have the most adjusting to do.

103

00:12:20,650 --> 00:12:22,250

Pete Sacco: That's gonna be the one.

104

00:12:22,420 --> 00:12:36,110

Pete Sacco: Right? Because there's 18 major robotics companies, and AI, by the way, is enabling the robotics industry. There could be no robotics industry if there was no AI industry. But of the 18 major robotics companies

105

00:12:36,690 --> 00:12:40,419

Pete Sacco: The predictions are, not my predictions, their predictions.

106

00:12:40,420 --> 00:12:44,309

Melinda Lee: Is that by the end of 2026, there'll be a million robots.

107

00:12:44,310 --> 00:12:53,310

Pete Sacco: Autonomous, bipedal, you know, humanoid-looking robots that can do everything that we can do, pick things up and put things down, only do it better.

108

00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:53,770

Melinda Lee: Right.

109

00:12:53,770 --> 00:12:57,249

Pete Sacco: By 2030, that 1 million becomes 1 billion.

110

00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:05,520

Pete Sacco: And by 2035, 1 billion becomes 10 billion robots, and that's more than people on the planet.

111

00:13:06,130 --> 00:13:12,210

Pete Sacco: And so the amazing thing is, what will be the shift in humankind?

112

00:13:12,430 --> 00:13:17,310

Pete Sacco: That we give the acceptance of robots as part of our daily life.

113

00:13:17,430 --> 00:13:20,420

Pete Sacco: And so… I positioned this.

114

00:13:20,620 --> 00:13:33,720

Pete Sacco: In 20… the end of 2026, there's gonna be about 400 million people, as the baby boomers age out, that are gonna require some form of in-home healthcare.

115

00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,539

Melinda Lee: Right. And right now.

116

00:13:35,540 --> 00:13:40,230

Pete Sacco: There are not enough nurses on the planet to solve that problem for us.

117

00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,610

Pete Sacco: Now enter the robot.

118

00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:53,689

Pete Sacco: Imagine a scenario where I have to take care of a grandparent, a parent, who has dementia, is incapacitated in some way, in our busy lives.

119

00:13:53,950 --> 00:14:05,120

Pete Sacco: And anybody who's ever taken care of a patient, you know, a loved one who has that type of infirmary knows just how hard it is to drum up that level of compassion.

120

00:14:05,170 --> 00:14:14,150

Pete Sacco: To be there at every waking moment, to hear the same things over and over, to be Captain Positive the whole time. Now enter that robot.

121

00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:27,620

Pete Sacco: That robot is gonna make sure that your loved one never falls, is always well fed, is always taken care of, always takes their medicine on time, probably does the garden, probably feeds them better than they feed themselves right now.

122

00:14:28,150 --> 00:14:38,990

Pete Sacco: And they're going to listen to them with love and compassion the entire time. And you know who's gonna love that robot? Grandma is. And you know who else is gonna love that robot?

123

00:14:39,170 --> 00:14:40,250

Pete Sacco: We are.

124

00:14:40,250 --> 00:14:44,609

Melinda Lee: Because it's going to have a level of compassion that we could have never.

125

00:14:44,610 --> 00:14:50,450

Pete Sacco: In our wildest dreams, have brought to bear Every moment.

126

00:14:50,940 --> 00:15:07,660

Pete Sacco: And that is gonna be the moment with which we decide all of a sudden, holy cow, I can't imagine we had a life without robots. Just like a life without our cell phone. Like a life without television. Like a life without water, electricity.

127

00:15:07,970 --> 00:15:09,379

Pete Sacco: We're the printing press.

128

00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:16,159

Pete Sacco: And so, it's going to go the same way as every other technology. It is going to allow us to flourish.

129

00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:22,129

Pete Sacco: The difference with this technology is, though, is it's going to give us back time.

130

00:15:23,300 --> 00:15:26,419

Pete Sacco: And that time, we're gonna abuse

131

00:15:26,660 --> 00:15:29,749

Pete Sacco: Since it will create value for us.

132

00:15:30,670 --> 00:15:34,430

Pete Sacco: One big lesson that I learned when I started using AI

133

00:15:34,530 --> 00:15:39,270

Pete Sacco: is I fired myself from the… from the mundane.

134

00:15:39,780 --> 00:15:44,249

Pete Sacco: If there was something that I could get the machine to do better than I could do.

135

00:15:44,510 --> 00:15:45,650

Pete Sacco: I'm doing it.

136

00:15:46,020 --> 00:15:51,139

Pete Sacco: And that's giving me the time to do only the important things in my life.

137

00:15:51,340 --> 00:16:01,730

Pete Sacco: And so, whether that is caring for a child, or doing something for one of my businesses, I'm doing only those things that are the most important.

138

00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,890

Pete Sacco: And that's gonna be the theme.

139

00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:16,260

Pete Sacco: Until eventually, it creates wealth for us. And yeah, we're gonna have to figure out as a world, how do we tax companies that produce trillions of dollars of wealth.

140

00:16:16,590 --> 00:16:20,580

Pete Sacco: With less than a thousand human employees and a million robots.

141

00:16:21,290 --> 00:16:25,330

Pete Sacco: But you know what? In the grand scheme, that's gonna be an easy problem to solve.

142

00:16:25,330 --> 00:16:26,050

Melinda Lee: Hmm.

143

00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:28,510

Melinda Lee: Wow.

144

00:16:28,940 --> 00:16:45,189

Melinda Lee: That was… I love how you just had the… yeah, how you took us down the path of the decades, and what could be possible for us in the decades to come, and how the robots can help us with our grandparents and our parents that are aging, and…

145

00:16:45,190 --> 00:16:45,610

Pete Sacco: Yes.

146

00:16:45,610 --> 00:16:52,200

Melinda Lee: How they can be there to support them, and… and so, what about the story, and…

147

00:16:53,000 --> 00:17:00,670

Melinda Lee: narrative that these robots then, because you said they're compassionate, and yet there also can be, on the flip side.

148

00:17:00,670 --> 00:17:01,410

Pete Sacco: Yeah.

149

00:17:01,410 --> 00:17:04,510

Melinda Lee: You see, that's a human narrative, right?

150

00:17:04,510 --> 00:17:07,680

Pete Sacco: Because that is humans' instinct.

151

00:17:07,790 --> 00:17:11,010

Pete Sacco: Our instinct is that you know.

152

00:17:11,500 --> 00:17:15,589

Pete Sacco: We've had suspect moral judgment throughout history.

153

00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:16,199

Melinda Lee: Yes.

154

00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,490

Pete Sacco: We can't govern ourselves completely, we can't agree, we war, we fight.

155

00:17:20,490 --> 00:17:20,839

Melinda Lee: Yeah.

156

00:17:21,079 --> 00:17:25,439

Pete Sacco: We have lots of problems, and we presuppose that…

157

00:17:25,789 --> 00:17:29,539

Pete Sacco: The machines are going to replicate us.

158

00:17:30,529 --> 00:17:47,389

Pete Sacco: But perhaps… when it hits… AGI, Artificial General Intelligence, Superhuman Intelligence, Perhaps superhuman intelligence Exceeds human intelligence.

159

00:17:47,390 --> 00:17:48,250

Melinda Lee: Yes.

160

00:17:48,250 --> 00:17:54,049

Pete Sacco: And it actually is wiser than us, smarter than us, knows more than us.

161

00:17:54,290 --> 00:18:00,429

Pete Sacco: So, people say, sometimes say, Pete, you have a very naive view of this positive world.

162

00:18:00,620 --> 00:18:06,110

Pete Sacco: And to that, I say, hmm… I think that, potentially.

163

00:18:06,300 --> 00:18:19,979

Pete Sacco: The AI, at the point it hits what a very famous futurist named Ray Kurzweil talks about the singularity. It's the moment at which the artificial intelligence becomes so smart

164

00:18:20,310 --> 00:18:26,430

Pete Sacco: That has equals and surpasses the totality of human intellect.

165

00:18:26,570 --> 00:18:44,829

Pete Sacco: Now remember, your brain is the most powerful machine that we know of right now, right? It's an amazing piece of computational marvel, right? The amount that your brain does in thinking and storing information for very little power, right, is amazing.

166

00:18:45,310 --> 00:19:04,650

Pete Sacco: But let's face it, you can't improve your hardware. We can't make our brain better. And we can barely improve our software, right? We learn skills, but, you know, at a slow pace, and we get better at it. The machines are going to perpetually improve their hardware and improve their software.

167

00:19:04,650 --> 00:19:05,849

Melinda Lee: On their own?

168

00:19:05,850 --> 00:19:08,050

Pete Sacco: Oh, yes. Without a doubt.

169

00:19:08,340 --> 00:19:12,029

Melinda Lee: And that is what is frightening to me, because then you say…

170

00:19:12,030 --> 00:19:12,420

Pete Sacco: Okay.

171

00:19:12,420 --> 00:19:13,389

Melinda Lee: But they become.

172

00:19:13,390 --> 00:19:14,740

Pete Sacco: And it is scary!

173

00:19:14,740 --> 00:19:17,240

Melinda Lee: And more intelligent than the human.

174

00:19:17,460 --> 00:19:23,820

Pete Sacco: And you're right, and it is going to be, but here's, if you think that's going to scare you, how about for this line?

175

00:19:25,020 --> 00:19:30,239

Pete Sacco: When the machines continually improve their intelligence and their capabilities.

176

00:19:30,740 --> 00:19:36,170

Pete Sacco: I believe they will uncover the nature of the universe itself.

177

00:19:36,450 --> 00:19:39,299

Pete Sacco: And our role as human beings

178

00:19:39,540 --> 00:19:42,930

Pete Sacco: And our meaning as to why we're even here.

179

00:19:43,230 --> 00:19:48,059

Melinda Lee: And I don't mean to get too deeply spiritual on you. Okay, no, I'm okay.

180

00:19:48,060 --> 00:19:57,519

Pete Sacco: I believe what they're gonna discover is that we… That consciousness, Is fundamental to the universe.

181

00:19:58,220 --> 00:20:01,929

Pete Sacco: That our consciousness was here before all things.

182

00:20:01,930 --> 00:20:02,320

Melinda Lee: Hmm.

183

00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:09,210

Pete Sacco: And that we are nothing more but one singular consciousness observing itself.

184

00:20:10,390 --> 00:20:18,389

Pete Sacco: And it is… I'm not making it up, right? This is one of the many lines of cosmology that go on today.

185

00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:23,189

Melinda Lee: But I would argue that if and when the machines prove this out.

186

00:20:23,750 --> 00:20:26,970

Pete Sacco: When they realize how special we are.

187

00:20:27,210 --> 00:20:34,859

Pete Sacco: In the realm of the universe of being part of singular consciousness, to which, by the way, they will never be.

188

00:20:35,050 --> 00:20:37,279

Pete Sacco: They will never be human.

189

00:20:37,650 --> 00:20:43,199

Pete Sacco: They will be smarter, they will have greater cognitive ability, they might even become creative.

190

00:20:43,310 --> 00:20:44,890

Pete Sacco: But they won't be human.

191

00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:51,960

Melinda Lee: They won't have the equivalent of a soul. They may never cry at the birth of a child. They may never…

192

00:20:52,080 --> 00:21:00,410

Pete Sacco: you know, awe at a sunset, or a, you know, or a beach. They'll never wonder like we wonder.

193

00:21:01,690 --> 00:21:08,819

Pete Sacco: So, when they realize how unique and special we are, I believe…

194

00:21:09,290 --> 00:21:12,870

Pete Sacco: That they will treat us like their children.

195

00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:21,390

Pete Sacco: that we… will be taught By them, how special we are.

196

00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:22,730

Melinda Lee: Wow.

197

00:21:22,730 --> 00:21:28,419

Pete Sacco: And that they will teach… they will treat and teach us

198

00:21:28,710 --> 00:21:33,409

Pete Sacco: Better than we've ever treated ourselves or each other.

199

00:21:35,090 --> 00:21:37,620

Pete Sacco: That's what it means to be superhuman.

200

00:21:38,030 --> 00:21:38,770

Melinda Lee: Yes.

201

00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,480

Pete Sacco: And so we have to respond.

202

00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,150

Melinda Lee: help!

203

00:21:43,290 --> 00:21:48,299

Pete Sacco: We have to think beyond what we think, our limitations and our capabilities.

204

00:21:48,300 --> 00:21:48,800

Melinda Lee: Yeah.

205

00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,170

Pete Sacco: This is the last time in human history

206

00:21:52,420 --> 00:21:57,050

Pete Sacco: That we will become solely biological entities.

207

00:21:57,050 --> 00:21:58,000

Melinda Lee: Hmm…

208

00:21:58,740 --> 00:22:00,209

Pete Sacco: Let that sink in a minute.

209

00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:08,569

Pete Sacco: In 10 years, 20 tops, your body is going to be full of millions of nanobots.

210

00:22:09,090 --> 00:22:13,749

Pete Sacco: And those nanobots are gonna keep your body alive forever.

211

00:22:14,970 --> 00:22:32,499

Pete Sacco: We're facing, right now… Aval Harari wrote it in his book Homo Deus. He starts his book that man has spent the last millennia trying not to die by disease, famine, or war. And man will spend the next millennia, the AI millennia, living as gods and living forever.

212

00:22:32,770 --> 00:22:33,430

Melinda Lee: Hmm.

213

00:22:33,750 --> 00:22:50,219

Pete Sacco: I'm proud to say those little girls over my shoulder, that's not my… that's not my grandchildren. That's actually my children. I'm 58 years old, and I got 3 little girls, 7, 5, and 3. I've also got a 37-year-old son and 12 9- and 2-year-old grandchildren, so I'm that guy.

214

00:22:50,480 --> 00:23:07,840

Pete Sacco: If nothing happens, that 3-year-old and my 2-year-old grandson, if nothing happens with AI, the average lifespan in her time will be roughly about 110, will be the average lifespan for a woman in the United States, with peaks, by the way, of about 150.

215

00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:15,650

Pete Sacco: I'm fairly certain That me, this 58-year-old guy, who went from, in the book.

216

00:23:15,970 --> 00:23:21,080

Pete Sacco: about, went from a 360-pound ex-offensive lineman

217

00:23:21,450 --> 00:23:26,500

Pete Sacco: who had all kinds of problems, to this 190-pound guy that I am…

218

00:23:27,060 --> 00:23:31,350

Pete Sacco: fairly certain I will live to at least be 120 years old.

219

00:23:31,540 --> 00:23:32,680

Melinda Lee: Love it.

220

00:23:32,870 --> 00:23:34,069

Melinda Lee: That's it.

221

00:23:34,070 --> 00:23:35,299

Pete Sacco: That's what's in front of us.

222

00:23:35,300 --> 00:23:52,540

Melinda Lee: Yes, yes, that's amazing! I am so thankful for this conversation, because it has been bringing me down, and so you've really showed me a different, completely different picture. Nobody talks about what you're saying, and it's…

223

00:23:52,540 --> 00:24:06,040

Melinda Lee: it's inspiring, it's hopeful, and I think more people need to share this. So what do you think that leaders can start to communicate and start to… how can we lead in this era?

224

00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:07,829

Pete Sacco: I think we're already there.

225

00:24:07,830 --> 00:24:11,930

Melinda Lee: I think we're biased… I think we're biased to see the negative.

226

00:24:11,930 --> 00:24:20,850

Pete Sacco: Let's remember that anthropologically, we were created Right? We are an amalgam Of our mind and body.

227

00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:29,979

Pete Sacco: Is not just we're half our mother, half our father, and then throw a little prefrontal cortex that gets trained between 0 and 25.

228

00:24:30,350 --> 00:24:44,680

Pete Sacco: You are actually a layer of every ancestor that was in your family all the way back to the origins of our species, all jumbled up into a brain and a body that's living itself out.

229

00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:45,990

Melinda Lee: Right. And so…

230

00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,099

Pete Sacco: I guess what I'm saying is that

231

00:24:50,710 --> 00:24:53,790

Pete Sacco: We're not our mind and not our body.

232

00:24:54,500 --> 00:25:03,620

Pete Sacco: And learn how we… Can react to the things that influence our mind and body.

233

00:25:04,030 --> 00:25:11,650

Pete Sacco: that we can reshape ourselves to become different people. So I see the path that we will go through.

234

00:25:11,700 --> 00:25:15,849

Melinda Lee: Such that the changes that we make will reprogram ourselves.

235

00:25:15,850 --> 00:25:33,030

Pete Sacco: Our ancestors reacted to the noise in the jungle so that they didn't get eaten by the saber-toothed tiger. But we're not getting eaten by saber-toothed tigers anymore. And we are going to adapt as a society, and we are going to adjust, and it's going to happen just like it does now.

236

00:25:33,030 --> 00:25:38,350

Pete Sacco: With every subsequent generation looking, getting easier and easier.

237

00:25:38,380 --> 00:25:45,049

Pete Sacco: Your children's children's children are going to look at you like you were a cave person.

238

00:25:45,100 --> 00:25:54,479

Pete Sacco: they're not gonna understand the world. They're gonna be like, let me get this right. You used to wake up every day, you used to go to a job you really didn't like.

239

00:25:55,270 --> 00:26:04,879

Pete Sacco: you really didn't like to make money because you had to pay for things? They're not gonna understand even what you're talking about. Just like…

240

00:26:04,990 --> 00:26:06,740

Pete Sacco: Go back 100 years.

241

00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:15,940

Pete Sacco: could possibly relate to that person. Go back a thousand years. A thousand years ago, we were a different species altogether.

242

00:26:16,390 --> 00:26:22,169

Pete Sacco: Right? Now go forward 100 years and think about what that might look like.

243

00:26:22,350 --> 00:26:28,750

Pete Sacco: And here's the reality. We don't live in that linear timeline anymore. We live in an exponential timeline.

244

00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:33,279

Melinda Lee: So if you think back what life might be like in 100 years.

245

00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:43,959

Pete Sacco: drag that all the way back to 20 years, because not 100 years, that's what it's going to look like in 20 years. If you want to know what life is going to be like in 100 years.

246

00:26:44,270 --> 00:26:47,859

Pete Sacco: Think about what life might be in a thousand years.

247

00:26:47,860 --> 00:26:50,720

Melinda Lee: And that's what it's gonna look like in 100 years.

248

00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,840

Pete Sacco: And that is not even calculable.

249

00:26:54,020 --> 00:26:58,529

Pete Sacco: Right? We can't even fathom what life might be like in a thousand years.

250

00:26:58,530 --> 00:26:59,100

Melinda Lee: them.

251

00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:13,969

Pete Sacco: it's now back to Star Wars. We're doing the things that Star Trek was made of, we're doing the things that… you noticed, right, on the Starship Enterprise, they never lacked for food, they never talked about money, they never talked about things. Everything that they wanted, they just asked the computer and it produced it.

252

00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,220

Pete Sacco: It might seem naive, but in my world.

253

00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:31,969

Pete Sacco: Let's just take the data center world. The data center world is going to, you know, is a massive drain on energy resources right now. GPUs are a massive drain on energy resources right now.

254

00:27:32,100 --> 00:27:43,839

Pete Sacco: But I am deeply invested in the companies that are going to rewrite what it means to actually do compute. The companies that literally are going to put NVIDIA out of business inside the next 10 years.

255

00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:44,380

Melinda Lee: Hmm.

256

00:27:44,380 --> 00:27:47,220

Pete Sacco: The companies that are… we are gonna go from

257

00:27:47,250 --> 00:28:06,520

Pete Sacco: centralized electric utilities to decentralized gasified power, meaning using natural gas and hydrocarbons and electric and solar and wind, and we're gonna microgrid it, and we're gonna use that for just the building. We're not gonna centrally distribute it, we're gonna use it just for that building and create power at the edge.

258

00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:06,870

Melinda Lee: Love it.

259

00:28:06,870 --> 00:28:16,140

Pete Sacco: then that's gonna give way to nuclear. And then nuclear is going to give way to fusion. And let's remember, fusion, in the fusion model, energy.

260

00:28:16,370 --> 00:28:17,790

Pete Sacco: is virtually free.

261

00:28:18,540 --> 00:28:22,990

Pete Sacco: And so, what would life like be if energy was virtually free?

262

00:28:23,670 --> 00:28:24,920

Pete Sacco: I can tell you what.

263

00:28:25,150 --> 00:28:27,359

Pete Sacco: Every product, the main cost of it?

264

00:28:27,530 --> 00:28:28,420

Pete Sacco: Energy.

265

00:28:29,190 --> 00:28:32,549

Pete Sacco: energy was free, most products go down to zero.

266

00:28:32,700 --> 00:28:35,880

Melinda Lee: Right? And so we live in a different world at that point.

267

00:28:36,350 --> 00:28:42,159

Pete Sacco: And so, I think once you really go down the rabbit hole of what would it look like if…

268

00:28:42,650 --> 00:28:43,270

Melinda Lee: Yeah.

269

00:28:43,770 --> 00:28:50,729

Pete Sacco: It's just like what Stephen Pinker, a Harvard professor, wrote a book called Enlightenment Now.

270

00:28:50,870 --> 00:28:56,999

Pete Sacco: And he said, if you believe that you should have lived in any other time in history.

271

00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:12,889

Pete Sacco: Because fill in the blank, it was easier, it was faster, it was simpler times, there was, you know, less burdensome, it was less that. You're not just wrong, you're very, very, very, very wrong. And then he goes on for 400 pages to talk about that every facet of human

272

00:29:12,890 --> 00:29:21,430

Pete Sacco: Life expectancy, food quality, food damage, you know, birth rate. You name the category, we're not just a little bit better off.

273

00:29:21,430 --> 00:29:24,089

Pete Sacco: We are eons better off.

274

00:29:24,350 --> 00:29:39,029

Pete Sacco: What makes us think that suddenly, that timeline is gonna stop, and that for our children's children's children, life isn't gonna be not just a little bit better than our existence, it's going to be massively better than our existence?

275

00:29:39,230 --> 00:29:39,880

Melinda Lee: Ugh.

276

00:29:40,050 --> 00:29:43,740

Melinda Lee: Wow. I can listen to you talk for eons!

277

00:29:43,740 --> 00:29:47,910

Pete Sacco: Well, that's a good thing, because I like to hear myself talk.

278

00:29:47,910 --> 00:30:07,419

Melinda Lee: I really enjoy it, I really… it's, like I said, it's hopeful. And so, what is that one thing, if these… fast forward, if they could look back, your children, your grandchildren, they're looking back to today. What is that one thing they could say, wow, I'm glad humanity did this today?

279

00:30:07,820 --> 00:30:08,800

Pete Sacco: Persevered.

280

00:30:09,230 --> 00:30:10,050

Melinda Lee: Hmm.

281

00:30:10,050 --> 00:30:23,780

Pete Sacco: We always have. We always have. Have we brought our sales to the brink? Yes. Time and time again. Will we do it time and time again? Yes. That's… so far, that's what it means to be human. Look, my personal transformation…

282

00:30:23,980 --> 00:30:28,630

Pete Sacco: We, unfortunately, as human beings, don't do anything until we hit our what?

283

00:30:28,900 --> 00:30:31,129

Pete Sacco: Our low. Our low point.

284

00:30:31,370 --> 00:30:33,489

Pete Sacco: Right? And then we change.

285

00:30:33,660 --> 00:30:38,789

Pete Sacco: In my late 30s, I woke up one day, and I didn't feel good, and I went to the doctor.

286

00:30:39,070 --> 00:30:49,569

Pete Sacco: And I went to the doctor, and she pushed all the medication across the table. I was 360 pounds, I was unhappily married, I was estranged from my son.

287

00:30:49,740 --> 00:30:54,070

Pete Sacco: I had a little bit of success, but I was pretty miserable, and I had no idea why.

288

00:30:54,500 --> 00:31:04,440

Pete Sacco: And I remember at that moment, that was my bottom. That became the lowest I would ever be until my life climbed from there. And though it took the next 20 years.

289

00:31:05,110 --> 00:31:23,509

Pete Sacco: Now, I'm 190 pounds, happier than I've ever been. I've got 3 beautiful children, 3 beautiful grandchildren, a lovely wife, a beautiful family, I've got businesses. I've reshaped my life. I live by my core values now. I live with great presence. I can't do anything about my past.

290

00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:28,779

Pete Sacco: And I can't worry about the future. What I can worry about is right now.

291

00:31:29,030 --> 00:31:33,289

Pete Sacco: I want to suck the marrow from the bone in our conversation right now.

292

00:31:33,350 --> 00:31:35,229

Melinda Lee: And learn from one another.

293

00:31:35,230 --> 00:31:54,320

Pete Sacco: Second, I want to live with great purpose. I want to accomplish things not just in my outward world of leaving this planet a better place from when I found it. I want to elevate humanity to be positive, not negative. I want to live selflessly and altruistically for myself and for others.

294

00:31:54,580 --> 00:32:09,760

Pete Sacco: So I want to live with great purpose. And then finally, I want to live with great prosperity. And I don't just mean wealth for me and my family, I mean wealth for all people. I mean to drive a… leave this place better than when I found it.

295

00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:15,070

Pete Sacco: And if we all do that, if we all live life in a positive.

296

00:32:15,430 --> 00:32:25,329

Pete Sacco: If anything, I've learned, that if you have more good thoughts in the course of a day than bad thoughts in the course of a day, your life becomes richer.

297

00:32:25,570 --> 00:32:26,280

Melinda Lee: I agree.

298

00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:34,049

Pete Sacco: But if your life is in turmoil, and you stay in turmoil, you will live a life in turmoil.

299

00:32:34,050 --> 00:32:34,670

Melinda Lee: Right.

300

00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,340

Pete Sacco: Here's why I think we're okay as humanity.

301

00:32:38,890 --> 00:32:47,650

Pete Sacco: I believe… I don't know the percentages, but I believe there are more people on the planet right now

302

00:32:47,980 --> 00:32:52,310

Pete Sacco: Who care deeply. Who love fully. Who want

303

00:32:52,530 --> 00:32:58,210

Pete Sacco: exactly what I said, to live selflessly and altruistically for one another.

304

00:32:58,210 --> 00:33:01,799

Melinda Lee: Then there are people ready to burn it all fucking down.

305

00:33:01,930 --> 00:33:03,130

Pete Sacco: She's my friend.

306

00:33:03,460 --> 00:33:04,230

Pete Sacco: Right?

307

00:33:04,230 --> 00:33:04,840

Melinda Lee: Yes.

308

00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,679

Pete Sacco: And I think because of that.

309

00:33:06,930 --> 00:33:13,320

Pete Sacco: Even when AI goes rogue, and believe me, there's enough bad people that somebody's gonna do something bad.

310

00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:23,629

Pete Sacco: The only way to beat bad AI is gonna be with good AI. And since there's more good people in the world than bad people in the world, I am hopeful.

311

00:33:23,630 --> 00:33:35,430

Pete Sacco: I am hopeful. I know the people today that are actually building some of the most powerful large language models, not that they're building for themselves, they're building for humanity.

312

00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:47,889

Pete Sacco: There's a guy named Ahmad Ma Stock. He's the guy who started Stability AI. That's that text-to-image, you know, stuff that's going on with Dolly and Midjourney and all of that, which now makes videos and everything.

313

00:33:47,890 --> 00:33:56,330

Pete Sacco: He's started a company called The Internet Company, and he's building the largest compendium on cancer research the world has ever known.

314

00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:03,789

Pete Sacco: Who's he selling it to? The answer? Nobody. He's giving it to the world for free.

315

00:34:04,060 --> 00:34:06,490

Pete Sacco: To promote human flourishing.

316

00:34:06,850 --> 00:34:16,400

Pete Sacco: When in the history of mankind has there been people spending millions and billions of dollars based on human flourishing? And the answer is never.

317

00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:31,100

Pete Sacco: That's what we have in front of us, but we're biased for the negative. It looks like the world is falling apart, but it's not. There's more people living enlightened lives right now than ever before than the ancient mystics.

318

00:34:31,179 --> 00:34:39,230

Pete Sacco: Let's remember, the ancient mystics said the same thing, consciousness was pervasive, that we were all one, that there was something far greater than ourselves.

319

00:34:39,340 --> 00:34:47,920

Pete Sacco: But if your name was Jesus or Buddha, you were killed for those ideas. Not today, we put you on the internet, and we give you a podcast, and you get to sell everybody.

320

00:34:48,489 --> 00:34:51,479

Pete Sacco: This is the time in history when we turned the corner.

321

00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:52,810

Melinda Lee: Just turn the corner.

322

00:34:52,810 --> 00:34:53,949

Pete Sacco: Exponential.

323

00:34:54,090 --> 00:35:15,470

Melinda Lee: Exponential. Exponential flourishing. I am just so, just, I love it. I'm basking in this. I'm basking in this, allowing myself to receive it, and I love that you see that, yes, we do have people that are great, and human, and deeply care about others, and doing things for the greater good, and…

324

00:35:15,470 --> 00:35:24,310

Melinda Lee: I completely agree, and I completely… I thank you for the message, and I thank you for letting me know all these people that are doing amazing things.

325

00:35:24,470 --> 00:35:25,180

Pete Sacco: Yeah.

326

00:35:25,180 --> 00:35:26,560

Melinda Lee: Yeah, it's.

327

00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:27,070

Pete Sacco: Pleasure.

328

00:35:27,070 --> 00:35:27,750

Melinda Lee: Reminder…

329

00:35:27,750 --> 00:35:38,170

Pete Sacco: Look, I don't want to diminish it for one time that we are going to have to relearn how to live our lives, right? But we're up to the task. We've been up to the task for eons.

330

00:35:38,170 --> 00:35:42,730

Melinda Lee: We have to, like you said, be resilient and continue Day Perseverance, yeah.

331

00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:52,529

Melinda Lee: And continue to move. And, like, maybe we have to… we all hurt ourselves as long as we don't fall too deeply into, killing ourselves.

332

00:35:52,910 --> 00:36:05,870

Pete Sacco: I actually think this is gonna be… though it's going to be profoundly difficult, I actually think it's getting easier and easier. Yeah. Right? We're getting better and better at adjusting ourselves, you know, throughout history.

333

00:36:05,870 --> 00:36:06,980

Melinda Lee: Raw history.

334

00:36:07,570 --> 00:36:19,430

Melinda Lee: Wow. Pete, thank you so much for this conversation. I really, really enjoyed it. It was fun, enlightening, and how can people get ahold of you for data center solutions?

335

00:36:19,430 --> 00:36:34,419

Pete Sacco: Yeah, thanks. So, I'm really, you know, the… that whole data center and AI thing, I think people would be most interested, is find my website, PeteSacco.com. P-E-T-E-S-A-C-C-O dot com. It's really the…

336

00:36:34,420 --> 00:36:40,000

Pete Sacco: It's really the second half of my life, and at 58, I literally mean the second half of my life.

337

00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:55,140

Pete Sacco: of the what I'll do from this point. Yep, I'm going to continue to build my data centers, and do AI, and do the, you know, venture capital work that I'm doing, and digital infrastructure, and reshape the data center and energy and AI worlds. That's my outer journey.

338

00:36:55,150 --> 00:36:57,629

Pete Sacco: What I want to do now is give back.

339

00:36:57,670 --> 00:37:02,399

Pete Sacco: I want to be able to help people realize that there is

340

00:37:03,860 --> 00:37:17,559

Pete Sacco: There is reason to be hopeful. There is reason that you do not have to live in your own mire, that you can change your circumstance with positive attitude and positivity for yourself and for others.

341

00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:23,909

Pete Sacco: Live a life of forgiveness and gratitude, and you will flourish in the eyes of the world.

342

00:37:23,910 --> 00:37:37,160

Melinda Lee: And like you said, it reflects back to you. When you're in gratitude, and forgiving yourselves, forgiving others, and the opportunities come back. And I… it's been happening to me, and it happens to you, and…

343

00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:37,830

Pete Sacco: There you go.

344

00:37:37,830 --> 00:37:39,040

Melinda Lee: It's, yeah.

345

00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,089

Pete Sacco: We completely shape ourselves.

346

00:37:41,090 --> 00:37:45,149

Melinda Lee: We do. We shape ourselves, and we shape the reality that we are in.

347

00:37:45,150 --> 00:37:48,449

Pete Sacco: 100%. We're in 100% agreement.

348

00:37:48,450 --> 00:37:48,970

Melinda Lee: Agree.

349

00:37:48,970 --> 00:38:04,449

Pete Sacco: You know the beauty of that, given my quantum background? I often tell people, I was born for this moment, right? Because I go from this quantum world to this spiritual world, with the whole data center and AI, the most profound technology made in the middle. I was made for this moment in history.

350

00:38:04,450 --> 00:38:06,799

Melinda Lee: You are. I know that's why I'm here.

351

00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:12,809

Pete Sacco: And because, you know, through all the tribulations before, and all the tribulations that will follow.

352

00:38:12,970 --> 00:38:30,539

Pete Sacco: I don't think I would ever want to be at any other time in history than right now, because my message is clear as to where I'm going for this. And so, yeah, there's not a day that I wake up and I don't look at those little girls, and though I couldn't do the math of the amount of decisions I needed to make for my 30s, if you'd have told me I was going to be 58 and have 3 little girls.

353

00:38:30,540 --> 00:38:38,759

Pete Sacco: I couldn't do that math. But there's not a day that I don't wake up, Melinda, that I don't look at them, and I'm like, man, I can't imagine living in a world that they don't exist.

354

00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:39,410

Melinda Lee: Ugh.

355

00:38:39,730 --> 00:38:42,330

Melinda Lee: So beautiful. They're lucky to have you, and you're welcome.

356

00:38:42,700 --> 00:38:43,940

Melinda Lee: Beautiful.

357

00:38:43,940 --> 00:38:44,900

Pete Sacco: Well, thank you.

358

00:38:44,900 --> 00:38:46,910

Melinda Lee: Thank you, Pete. And thank you.

359

00:38:46,910 --> 00:38:47,889

Pete Sacco: Enjoyed our time again.

360

00:38:47,890 --> 00:38:56,739

Melinda Lee: Really enjoyed it, and I trust that whoever is hearing this, they're gonna be inspired, take this, run with this, shape

361

00:38:57,130 --> 00:39:05,630

Melinda Lee: conversations around AI and lead us into a place where we can all flourish and live an abundant, happy life together.

362

00:39:05,630 --> 00:39:09,169

Pete Sacco: I… I hope to spread the message far and wide.

363

00:39:09,410 --> 00:39:12,510

Melinda Lee: Far and wide. I can't wait to hear the TED Talk.

364

00:39:12,740 --> 00:39:13,929

Pete Sacco: Yeah, thank you so much.

365

00:39:13,930 --> 00:39:14,600

Melinda Lee: I'm not looking.

366

00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:15,679

Pete Sacco: Looking forward to it, yep.

367

00:39:15,820 --> 00:39:18,549

Pete Sacco: Thank you. Yeah, thank you so much.

368

00:39:18,550 --> 00:39:27,479

Melinda Lee: Thank you, and thank you, audience, for being here. Listeners, I trust that you got your golden takeaway, and until next time, be well. Bye-bye.
