Neal Stephenson discusses AI, Blue Origin and the 'Diamond Age' primer

Ashlee Vance shared an interview with Neal Stephenson about AI, Jeff Bezos and Blue Origin. The video's description says Stephenson was blindsided by the AI boom and sees a dilemma in the race with China: neither side wants to slow down if the other might get there first. It also raises the question of whether AI could help make an educational tool like the illustrated primer in 'The Diamond Age' that helps more than gifted children.
