20 years from now, when you look at the raw compute that we have right now against what is about to hit us, the future becomes inevitable.
So right now we are gonna look at 17 unstoppable ways that artificial intelligence is about to rewrite the next few decades, from recording your dreams as a video file, to growing houses from scratch, to building personal robotic armies.
To help me think through the endless applications, I sat down with a guy who deals in raw physics and enormous scale every single day.
His company is literally building spacecrafts to mine metal out of cores of dead planets.
When you operate at the absolute limit of physics, you tend to make people nervous, which is exactly why a British reporter fired shots at Matt, and he said this:
The first line said something like, "Matt Galich, CEO of AstroForge, might destroy the world, and he doesn't care." It's ...
I was like, "This is amazing." So I, like, I sent it to my mom and my co-founder.
I think there is a 20 to 30% chance AI destroys the planet, and I don't think anything we're doing today is AI.
So here's every serious prediction that I could find about what gets built next, 17 of them, and arranged by pure escalation, because the further down this list that we go, the more extreme this reality gets.
in 50 years from now, what does somebody build that is inevitable with AI that nobody's thinking about currently?
If nobody's thinking about it, doesn't that by virtue mean that I'm not thinking about it either?
