The world has gone hysterical over A.I. and had to be set straight. That’s why VC billionaire and occasional essayist Marc Andreessen wrote his 7,000-word manifesto “Why AI Will Save the World.” That’s what Andreessen told the great tech writer Ben Thompson on the Stratechery podcast.
Andreessen was a co-founder of Netscape (the first version of the internet) and is now co-founder and general partner of Andreessen Horowitz, the massively influential Silicon Valley VC firm. He’s also well known for posting essays on his blog, the most famous this year being his A.I. manifesto, which says A.I. could usher humanity into a “material utopia that neither Adam Smith or Karl Marx ever dared dream of,” complete with personal assistant bots and “infinite love.”
