Today, we have a special bonus episode: a discussion between Marc Andreessen, the co-founder of Andreessen Horowitz, and Anton Troynikov, founder of AI database company Chroma.
This conversation originally took place on Twitter Spaces, where Anton and Marc talked about Marc's recent, provocative essay, Why AI Will Save The World (linked below). Marc explains why AI will not destroy the world but instead may save it. Toward the end of the discussion, Marc takes questions from a select audience of entrepreneurs and builders in AI.
Given how much we've talked about AI and the various doomer debates on Moment of Zen, we felt that this conversation was too good to be missed. We're so thrilled that Marc, Anton, and a16z allowed us to republish it here.
Both Marc and Anton have been on Moment of Zen discussing the same themes (see LINKS)
