I feel like we could find ways and tools to help in that situation without stealing the entirety of human knowledge, boiling our planet, and spending a small nation’s GDP. Like better code library discovery or a better mentor environment amongst coders.
I’ve also seen plenty of people get pointed in the exact wrong way to do things by leaning on generative AI and then have to spend even more time getting back on track.
Not even 25% of the GDP of the top ten nations. Seems like a much more worthy spend imo. Like all these billionaires want a dick measuring contest, let’s see who can come up with the coolest carbon neutral tech, let’s see which billionaire can fund the biggest national park or something.
My wife and I dream about building a zero carbon home. Solar roof, mass timber, carbon neutral cement, more environmental based temp systems like an actual thought about air flow. That or starting a commune in Scotland when the world collapses.
As far as I’m aware that was “only” 500 Billion with a ‘B’ in project Stargate, not the Trillions with a ‘T’ that Altman was talking about.
I do think it’s all a shell game and a fragile house of cards of tech brohaha. Really hoping the “We’re in a bubble” comment from him is the start of that house crumbling
You dropped a few of these -> “0”
Sam Altman has been talking about planning to spend trillions on just the data centers, let alone everything else that goes into creating their slop machines.
Feasible? Only time will tell. Possible? Caltech did it two years ago. Look up MAPLE. Wireless energy transfer to/from space was achieved.
He said today he plans to wait until it’s fully out and binge read 🙌🏼
This is the second time I’ve seen Bobiverse mentioned. I might actually have to give it a go.
Unless you’re like my friend who read it with me, in which case you’ll finish it. Love it. And then mope about because you can’t find any books quite like it and is even less likely to pick up a book now because it’s not The Expanse.
Time to build a small Dyson Sphere.
It’s absolutely possible if you’re abusing it recreationally, especially if you start mixing it with who knows what else. The biggest risk is respiratory system just shutting off.
That’s just an OD though, long term abuse like it’s suspected by many that Musk is doing has a whole host of nasty symptoms that you can look up yourself.
