Bill Gates Traumatized His Parents—and Other Stories of a Wild, Wonky Youth

He was your best friend and was more focused on his ambition than you were to read business magazines in adolescents. His accidental death at the age of 17 hunts this book and your life.

Kent helped me turn into a expected person. And then Paul was reading about the chip staff and he showed me it. He was two years ahead of me but he wanted me.

Paul also gave you the LSD. Steve Jobs once said that LSD had a constructive experience and exposed his mind in a way that helped him in creativity and design. I don’t get this idea that taking acid is life-changing for you.

I think the batch that Steve received was, of course, was really good for the design and marketing of the product. My God is Shobar, just think if I had that batch! Yes, I did something crazy when I was a kid. Paul deserves some achievements for him. We were no longer doing it when we became serious about work.

You also briefly wrote about the famous time you have tied up for a speedy pace. Did you come out to spend a night in prison?

No, it was just a fun thing. They thought it was amazing that someone was so young was a beautiful car – what was the story with this baby? Am I a drug dealer or something?

You bought yourself a porch in the early twentieth decade.

I definitely did not fit their normal pattern. We kept enough cash around that Paul came down and was able to grant me bail.

Speaking of cash, in the recent Netflix series of hosts, you have made an episode about discrimination. You did not condemn the concept of billionaires but were in favor of more equality. How to work?

The global economy has created some hyper -rich people. Like me and probably 50 or 60 people. Elon Kasturi is at the top of the list, but there are plenty of wealth with Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Baller, Warren Buffett, Michael Bloomberg. I think it’s okay. I will have many more progressive tax systems, so I will have about a third of the money. It will still be a huge fate.

The New York Times reports that NVEDIA CEO Jensen Huang is on its way to avoid $ 1 billion in estate tax. When you read it, do you think, “I should consult his tax lawyer”? Or say that it’s not a good thing?

I am pretty sure that I have paid more than anyone living – over 12 billion. I have strategies Unable I used to take Orrows against my Microsoft shares and not sell them. But if people escape by paying less taxes in legal ways, it is a bit strange to blame them. Our tax system should be changed.

They are guilty because they use political pressure to save their gaps and to cut funds for the IRS.

The votes of these billionaires will not affect our tax system. Also, for several more progressive taxes rich in 50 hypers. I was surprised that even the Democratic Party did not go too far to make taxes more progressive. I’m a huge defender of estate tax, I think it’s a great thing. I’ll make it stronger to avoid it.

Let’s talk about artificial intelligence. You have been working with it for years, but you were slow to embrace the recent transformed conversion of the generator AI. It wasn’t up to it Open has made a demo of GPT -4 in your home And an AP biology test came up that you were bullshit in it. What was the reason for your initial skepticism?

The idea of ​​AI is widespread throughout my history with computers. Betrobly, when I left Harvard to start Microsoft, one of the things I thought I could regret is that AI’s progress in Academia can move quickly when I was making a basic interpretation. It is so wrong. I have hoped that when we can encode knowledge in a rich way, where it can read a biology textbook and pass the AP exam, we clearly understand how we are encoding that knowledge. Instead, we have discovered a strange statistics algorithm that we do not understand. Why does GPT work? We have no clue. But when the Open showed me GPT -4, I shocked me that they had crossed a very important marginal. We still have reliability problems, but we now have a path where I think all of them will be solved.
