“By the standards of the rest of the world, basically every city here is a new city. And many of them are pretty recent. I mean, you look at Columbia, Maryland, or Irvine, California. They are 60 years old. …They looked like cow pastures 60 years ago, and today they are these bustling places. So there’s actual examples. It’s not rocket science. …We are not trying to invent a reusable rocket that lands. We are not trying to invent AI. It’s become non-controversial to say that we can invent software that’s as smart as humans or smarter, but somehow a lot of people today are saying, “we can’t build some houses and factories and a sewer line.” I mean, we’ve known how to do this for 5,000 years.”
