Can we talk a little bit about your English?

Because I started my YouTube journey talking about English because I'm originally from Russia.

因為我一開始做 YouTube 就是講英文，因為我原本是俄羅斯人。

過去簡單式

I came with an accent, and then I learned how to speak like an American.

我一開始有口音，然後我學會了講得像美國人一樣。

So, one was I was interested in music from a very early age, and

其中一個是我從小就對音樂很有興趣，

especially, like, American and British bands.

尤其是，像是美國和英國的樂團。

I loved Oasis, but, like, if you're singing that language, you know, you have to kind of hear.

我超愛 Oasis 的，但你知道，如果你要唱那種語言，你得要聽得出來。

You know, for it to even rhyme or sound good, you have to kind of hear yourself.

你知道，為了要押韻或聽起來好聽，你得要聽得出來。

And so I think music was a big part of it as well.

所以我覺得音樂也是其中一個很重要的原因。

Well, and then we moved around a bunch when I was a kid, and

嗯，然後我小時候搬家搬了好幾次，

the one constant were international schools.

And so, you know, starting from a fairly early age, I was.

所以你知道，從很小的時候開始，我就。

I was bilingual, but only lived in the States when I turned 18.

我就雙語了，但直到十八歲才住過美國。

And so there was some words that I had never really said out loud because I just read them and then internalized them over here.

所以有些字我從來沒有真正唸出來過，因為我只是把它們讀進去，然後在這裡內化。

I mean, we've had maybe had this experience too, where now I've been here for a while.

我是說，我們可能也有過類似的經驗，就是現在我來這裡一陣子了。

we'll never feel fully like I'm from here because I grew up in Brazil, but

我永遠都覺得自己不完全是這裡的人，因為我是在巴西長大的，但是

when I go to Brazil, I don't feel fully there.

當我去巴西時，我也覺得自己不完全屬於那裡。

所以有點像是兩者都有，又都不是。

Now do you think language learning is going to be replaced by AI?

那你覺得 AI 會取代語言學習嗎？

I really think about this because, you know, I.

我真的會這樣想，因為你知道，我。

I've been out of Brazil for long enough where all of the sort of, like, colloquialism or slang has moved on, and

我離開巴西已經夠久了，那邊的口語或俚語都已經更新換代了，

I just haven't lived there in a long time.

Even though I flew it in Portuguese, I'll now use cloud and say, hey, I'm about to send this to somebody who's like, my age.

即使我用葡萄牙語唸出來，我現在會用 cloud 說，嘿，我等一下要傳給一個跟我差不多大的人。

Like, do I sound old or do I sound, like, out of date?

像是，我聽起來老派嗎？還是聽起來有點過時？

And I'll be like, well, you might want to use this kind of language instead, or something, you know, kind of nuanced there.

我會說，嗯，你可能想用這種說法，或者類似的，你知道，有點細膩的表達方式。

The value of learning the nuances of languages is still important.

學習語言細微之處的價值還是很重要的。

You know, we went to Korea with a lot of the Anthropic team in March, and

其實，我們三月的時候和 Anthropic 的許多團隊一起去了韓國，

Claude 在韓語方面其實表現得很不錯。

We heard from people on the ground that it's the best of the.

我們從當地人那裡聽到，它是裡面最好的。

even so, they said it still sounds like a really cool Korean that, like, grew up in LA and then, like, moved back.

儘管如此，他們說聽起來還是像一個很酷的韓國人，像是那種在洛杉磯長大然後又搬回來的那種。

So how do we like, continue to push that as well?

那我們要怎麼繼續推動這件事呢？

But, you know, we're definite getting to the point where that sort of vision of like, you can be in a country and, you know, interact, you know, that with.

但你知道，我們確實快要達到那種，你身處一個國家，然後可以互動，你知道，跟它互動的願景了。

Yeah, AI is going to become natural at some point.

And then do you think there's going to be a wearable that we're wearing and it just interacts for you, listens for you?

那你們覺得會不會有穿戴裝置，我們戴著它，它就會自動幫你互動、聽你說話？

Although there's also the value of having like technology free interactions.

不過，也有那種完全沒有科技幹擾的互動價值。

And so there's, I think, always still going to be that the appeal of.

所以我覺得，還是會有那種吸引力。

All right, I actually learned this language.

I'm going to go and be with somebody in full presence rather than feel like we're being intermediated by technology.

我會想全心全意地跟一個人互動，而不是覺得我們之間被科技隔閡了。

I wanted to ask for advice for all the immigrants who are watching.

我想問一下正在收看的各位移民，有沒有什麼建議。

Do you think if you want to build company in AI, do you think it makes sense to move to Silicon Valley?

你覺得如果想在AI領域創業，是不是有必要搬到矽谷？

Or again, with AI, does it matter where you are?

或者說，有了AI，地點還重要嗎？

I think the barrier to creating products is really, really, you know, shortened.

我覺得開發產品的門檻真的、真的，你知道，大大降低了。

Where now, you know, before in Brazil, especially when I was growing up there, there wasn't really a talent market of really good engineers.

以前在巴西，尤其是我在那裡長大的時候，真的沒有很多優秀工程師的人才市場。

I mean, now there is much more because there's been generations of companies that have been created.

我是說，現在多很多了，因為已經有很多公司被創造出來了。

But that might not be the case for every single kind of city or every single country.

但這可能不是每個城市或每個國家都適用。

我當然也可以在那方面提供幫助。

There's also such a broader set of information and content around what to look for in a co founder.

還有關於尋找聯合創辦人，有更多更廣泛的資訊和內容。

How do you think about that initial idea?

And what I've been really excited about is whenever I talk to, for example, Brazilian entrepreneurs where I'm from, who are understanding uniquely Brazilian problems or uniquely Brazilian opportunities around our unique payment systems, you know, how Brazilian the economy works, like the public safety questions and then applying AI or applying technology to those problems.

讓我非常興奮的是，每當我跟來自巴西的創業者哈拉時，他們能深刻理解巴西獨有的問題或機會，像是我們獨特的支付系統、巴西的經濟運作方式，還有公共安全等議題，然後將AI或科技應用到這些問題上。

I think there is a tremendous opportunity there.

And one of the things I get excited about is in the past, if you had some idea there, your only path would have been, well, I hope I can go fundraise from Silicon Valley VCs.

其中一件讓我感到興奮的事是，過去如果你有個想法，唯一的途徑就是「嗯，我希望我能從矽谷的創投那裡募到資金」。

I think there's much more of an opportunity to build that locally and then try to fundraise.

我覺得現在有更多機會可以在當地建立，然後再去募資。

Now you can at least get to that point where you've gotten something exciting.

現在你至少可以走到那個階段，做出一些令人興奮的東西。
