“People sometimes think technology just automatically gets better every year, but it actually doesn’t. It only gets better if smart people work like crazy to make it better. That’s how any technology actually gets better. Look at the history of civilization, many civilizations.

Or you look at Rome, and how they built these incredible road ways and aqueducts and indoor plumbing, they forgot how to do all of those things. And there are many such examples in history, so I think you should always bear in mind that entropy is not on your side.”
