Vinod Kostla, the founder of Kostla Ventures, the famed venture capital firm in Silicon Valley,
has put out 12 incredible predictions about the future. And that's what we're going to be talking
about today. So first, why should you listen to Vinod Kostla? Who is he? So let's just look at some
of the investments that Kostla has made over the last 20 years. We have OCTA currently valued at
27 billion ring central 23 billion get lab which is a very popular enterprise
alternative to GitHub color genomics we have academia dot edu door dash which is a
huge public company impossible foods instacard open door square straight these
are all massive companies that coastal ventures made early bets on so Vinod
Kosole has been in Silicon Valley for a very long time and has made some
incredible investments and really has seen the future better than most have.
So Vinod just today put out this tweet thread which includes a series of slides which I think
we're part of a TED talk although I can't find the video.
But in it he says entrepreneur with passion for a vision and venture future they want.
These are my predictions for abundant awesome technology based possible tomorrow.
2035 through 2049 if we allow it to happen.
Now, Vinod is extremely optimistic with these predictions, and I think that's the point.
I tend to be very optimistic about technology in the future, but I also know there's always
the flip side to it.
So as we're going through these slides, keep that in mind, understand that I'm an optimist,
and it's totally okay to be a pessimist as well as we're talking through these because
someone needs to take that position.
Number one, expertise will be near free.
We will be capable of having near-free AI doctors for every person and AI tutors for every child 24-7
I think this is probably the most likely prediction he has and in fact
I think the scope that he's describing here is actually much smaller than what the possible scope actually is
So expertise will be near-free. We're almost there
We are at the cusp of seeing that with large language models and artificial intelligence in general
We have incredible knowledge packaged in a size that is just a few gigabytes, and it's
pretty incredible to think about.
Essentially, and I know not exactly, but essentially the entirety of human knowledge can be packaged
in a file size that is just a few gigabytes large.
And that means that any type of knowledge work could and likely will be replaced or at
least highly complemented by large language models very soon.
So he's talking about free AI doctors and free AI tutors for every child 24
seven. I think those are just two examples, but there are many more software
engineers, marketing, creatives. The list really goes on. And so what happens when
expertise is nearly free? First of all, there's two sides of it. All of a sudden
everybody has access to cutting edge expertise in pretty much any field. The flip
side to it is what happens to all those experts. I still think that there's going to be a need for
the cutting edge, the bleeding edge of knowledge and expertise discovery. I don't quite think we're
anywhere close to large language models being able to discover new knowledge, but I'm also very
willing to be wrong about that. So if all of this expertise is suddenly free, I see a world in which
Individuals can solve problems almost on their own.
Complex problems that they would usually have to go to an expert to solve.
And it's funny to think about this because just a few years ago,
I think the general sentiment was blue collar workers would be the first to be replaced
with artificial intelligence, with automation, with robotics.
But it turns out thought workers, people like me who code or who are creative
or a bunch of other examples, they were the first most likely to be replaced.
And now it turns out being able to work with your hands is actually a really valuable skill
