尼维：当新的范式与工具集问世时，总会迎来一段充满热情与变革的时期。这在社会层面如此，对个人而言亦是如此。若能把握住社会层面的这股热情浪潮，你将感受到兴奋，能够学习新知、结交朋友，甚至创造财富。
Nivi: When new paradigms and new tool sets come out, there is a moment of enthusiasm and change. And this is true in society, and this is true as an individual. If you ride the moment of enthusiasm in society, it’s exciting and you can learn new things and you can make friends and you can make money.
纳瓦尔：个人同样会经历这样的热情时刻。当你初次接触人工智能，对其产生好奇并保持真正开放的心态时，我认为这正是深入探索、了解其本质的绝佳时机。不仅仅是使用它——每个人都会去尝试使用——更要真正学习它的运作原理。
Naval: But there’s also a moment of enthusiasm in an individual. When you first encounter AI and you’re curious about it and you’re genuinely open-minded about it, I think that’s the time to lean in and learn about the thing itself. Not just to use it, which of course everyone will, but to actually learn how it works.
我认为深入探索并揭开引擎盖一探究竟真的很有趣。如果你平生第一次见到汽车，是的，你可以坐进去开上一圈，但正是在那一刻，你也会好奇到想打开引擎盖，看看它的结构和设计，并弄明白它是如何运作的。
I think diving into and looking underneath the hood is really interesting. If you encounter a car for the first time in your life, yes, you can get in and drive it around, but that’s the moment you’re also going to be curious enough to open up the hood and look at how it’s structured and designed and figure it out.
我会鼓励那些对新技术着迷的人真正深入其内部，去弄明白它。你不必达到能建造、修理或创造自己的技术的水平，但至少要做到让自己满意的程度。
I would encourage people who are fascinated by the new technology to really get into the innards and figure it out. You don’t have to figure it out to the level where you can build it or repair it or create your own, but to your own satisfaction.
因为理解抽象层之下——即命令行界面背后的运作机制——将带来双重益处。
Because understanding what’s underneath the abstraction—what’s underneath that command line—is going to do two things.
一方面，它能让你更好地运用这项工具。当谈到如此高效能的工具时，优化其使用方法就显得尤为重要。
One is it will let you use it a lot better. And when you’re talking about a tool that has so much leverage, using it better is very helpful.
其二是帮助你判断是否应该对其产生畏惧。这项技术究竟会演变成”天网”那样的存在并毁灭世界，还是可控的革新？
Second is it’ll also help you understand whether you should be scared of it or not. Is this thing really going to metastasize into a Skynet and destroy the world?
难道我们要坐等阿诺德·施瓦辛格突然出现，说出”2 月 24 日凌晨 4 点 29 分，天网系统开始拥有自我意识”这样的台词吗？还是更应该说：”嘿，这真是个了不起的机器，我能用它完成 A、B、C 这些任务，但 D、E、F 这些事它力所不及。这是我可以信任它的领域，而那些则是我需要保持警惕的地方。”
Are we going to be sitting here and Arnold Schwarzenegger shows up and says, “At 4:29 AM on February 24th is when Skynet became self-aware,” right? Or is it more that, “Hey, this is a really cool machine and I can use it to do A, B, and C, but I can’t use it to do D, E, and F. And this is where I should trust it and this is where I should be suspicious of it.”
我感觉现在很多人对人工智能怀有焦虑感。这种焦虑源于对其本质与运作机制缺乏了解，认知非常模糊。
I feel like a lot of people right now have AI anxiety. And the anxiety comes from not knowing what the thing is or how it works, having a very poor understanding.
因此，消除焦虑的良方是行动。面对焦虑，行动永远是最佳解药。焦虑是一种对事物可能恶化的非特异性恐惧，你的大脑和身体都在敦促你采取行动，只是你不确定具体该做什么。
And so the solution to that anxiety is action. The solution to anxiety is always action. Anxiety is a non-specific fear that things are going to go poorly and your brain and body are telling you to do something about it, but you’re not sure what.
你应该迎难而上。
You should lean into it.
你应该去弄明白这件事。你应该审视它的本质。你应该观察它的运作方式。我认为这将有助于消除焦虑。
You should figure the thing out. You should look at what it is. You should see how it works. And I think that’ll help get rid of the anxiety.
这种学习的行为，这种对好奇心的追求，将帮助你克服焦虑。谁知道呢，它甚至可能帮助你找到运用它的方式，让你做出富有成效的成果，使你更快乐、更成功。
That action of learning—that pursuit of curiosity—is going to help you get over the anxiety. And who knows, it might actually help you figure out something you want to do with it that is very productive and will make you happier and more successful.
