The purposeful destruction of information is the essence of intelligent work.

My mission at Google is to develop natural language understanding with a team and in collaboration with other researchers at Google.

Find your passion, learn how to add value to it, and commit to a lifetime of learning.

Machines will follow a path that mirrors the evolution of humans. Ultimately, however, self-aware, self-improving machines will evolve beyond humans' ability to control or even understand them.

Those with engineering skills will build tomorrow's genius computers. But those with the ability to create knowledge of any kind will be the ones who are best able to extract great value from them. The way to create value in the age of genius machines will be to compile and disseminate knowledge that other people will find useful.

Evolution is a process of creating patterns of increasing order....I believe that it's the evolution of patterns that constitutes the ultimate story of our world. Evolution works through indirection: each stage or epoch uses the information-processing methods of the previous epoch to create the next.

The past is over; the present is fleeting; we live in the future.
