within what do we want to create for

play00:06

ourselves good morning everybody so late

play00:08

last night we got to the mountains with

play00:10

family after moving out of Paris and

play00:12

this morning we are airing our first

play00:14

ever National TV ad live on CBS and it's

play00:18

a fun moment for us there's a lot of

play00:20

hidden messages in this ad so let's roll

play00:23

it and then I'll come back to you after

play00:25

and explain to you a little bit of uh

play00:26

why we made it and what it means

play00:34

all right so what are we doing tonight

play00:37

oh other Nick is hosing a thing maybe we

play00:39

could swim by that um so while I'm in

play00:42

the cold plunge I listen to two

play00:43

different Pods at once all in 20-minute

play00:45

VC both on 2x speed my testosterone

play00:48

levels have never been higher do you

play00:50

micro do optim optim

play00:56

optimiz maybe we skip that

play01:09

it's so

play01:12

stubborn it's so

play01:19

stubborn and I love it but I

play01:24

can't even if I could I would have

play01:28

change it

play01:31

all right I'm going to try to one take

play01:32

this thing why do we make that what was

play01:34

the point of that TV ad and there were

play01:37

three questions that we wanted to pose

play01:39

to all of you because we've been

play01:40

grappling with them ourselves the first

play01:42

is what is this internet we want to live

play01:44

within what do we want to create for

play01:45

ourselves there's this drive in Silicon

play01:47

Valley towards efficiency Google wants

play01:49

to get you an answer to your query in a

play01:51

single box with a few sentences and one

play01:53

link as quickly as possible and that's

play01:55

great most of the time a lot of the time

play01:57

but I know when I go on a road trip with

play01:59

my friends and family I ne we never take

play02:01

Google maps's number one recommended

play02:03

route why cuz it prioritizes speed but

play02:06

if I'm going on a road trip with friends

play02:08

and family I want to see the best views

play02:09

I want to increase the Serendipity that

play02:11

something awesome and memorable happens

play02:13

that's a different set of values to

play02:15

optimize for so the first question is do

play02:18

we even believe in a single answer right

play02:20

if you're turning to the internet to

play02:22

understand something sometimes you might

play02:25

want to know how old is Taylor Swift or

play02:27

whatever a lot of other times something

play02:29

just seems interesting to you and you

play02:31

want to go wide and deep and be

play02:32

surprised there are a lot of other

play02:34

things we might want to optimize for

play02:37

when we're designing this new internet

play02:39

the second thing is what would it look

play02:40

like if truly the web was made for you

play02:43

if the internet could be written to be

play02:44

much more personal just like the

play02:46

original aspiration of the personal

play02:48

computer what does the personal web the

play02:50

personal internet look like cuz it's not

play02:52

very personal right now and we're all

play02:54

kind of seeing the same stuff it almost

play02:55

feels monoculture and so I think the the

play02:58

second what if we wanted to post is what

play03:00

if what if it was it really really was

play03:03

personalized to you because these new

play03:04

technologies we're playing with they

play03:06

have a lot of challenging aspects to

play03:08

them but it's also pretty wild and

play03:11

unprecedented how they can dynamically

play03:13

mold and shape software and information

play03:16

to what you need right now to you what

play03:18

would you want it to do for you that's

play03:20

not a thing we could have asked in the

play03:22

past and now we can ask that really

play03:24

truly and the third question was just um

play03:26

what are we here for not some

play03:28

existential philosophical esoteric way I

play03:30

mean what do we hear for like why are

play03:32

you watching this video right now right

play03:34

you're watching a video made by the

play03:36

browser company why why do you care

play03:38

about KK search right why do you care

play03:40

about your phone your computer AI any of

play03:42

this stuff and so in this video the

play03:44

protagonist what does she want she wants

play03:45

a great night with friends and that

play03:48

might be not at a party that everyone's

play03:50

going to talking about all the same

play03:51

things in the same podcast you can have

play03:53

your own answer but let's just not lose

play03:55

the plot in the midst of all of this

play03:56

change and these exciting inventions and

play03:58

developments that these exciting

play04:00

inventions and developments on their own

play04:02

on their face uh are not that

play04:05

interesting and in fact if we lose sight

play04:07

of what we want to use these tools for

play04:10

it can get pretty Grim but I don't think

play04:12

it will and I don't think it needs to

play04:13

and question wanted to pose is like man

play04:15

are we trying to what what do we want to

play04:16

use this for what in our lives outside

play04:18

of our screens outside of our devices

play04:20

are we in search of we had a lot of fun

play04:22

with this video uh we're going to keep

play04:24

being bold this year we're going to keep

play04:26

being experimental and we're going to

play04:27

keep asking these questions cuz this is

play04:28

a moment in time in our industry and uh

play04:31

we're not going to miss it and we hope

play04:32

you don't either
