Actually, humanity is only about 1% of the way towards a Type I civilization.
We could generate at least 2 orders of magnitude more electricity than we do now.
Just a trippy dream of how Grok and I traversed the universe to understand it. All images to create the video were generated by @Grok, then I face swapped and animated them with Luma and Sora. This is also an original song, "Across the Universe," I made with @sunomusic.
Well-articulated analysis of @Neuralink.
Important edit: bit rate and patient number will increase hyperexponentially over the next 5+ years.
My guess is combined I/O Bit rate > 1Mbs and augmented humans >1M by 2030.
It appears that, when civilizations are under stress, the birth rate is high, but as soon as they have no external enemies, or they have an extended period of prosperity, the birth rate inevitably drops.
