Reminds me of the TechCrunch episode of Silicon Valley TV show. Everyone was there to make the big buck but all collectively pretended they were doing their work for the good of humankind.
This guy and Rob Pike should have a talk.
That episode, and this Gavin quote, encapsulate the attitude perfectly.
“I don't want to live in a world where someone makes the world a better place, better than we do.”
Why Rob Pike in particular? Most stuff I've read from him was nuts-and-bolts technical.
I assume the Rob Pike mention was in reference to this:

He apparently isn't the biggest fan of AI.
"Making the world a better place by constructing elegant hierarchies for maximum code reuse and extensibility"
Beautiful satire in that show. I'm still throwing my own version of this quote every now and again at the office.
