🚨BREAKING: CHINA IS AGI-PILLED NOW

China has made AI a national-security project and is planning to spend $295 billion to build AI data centers that run 80% on domestic technology

The plan:
- 2 trillion yuan over five years
- funded by govt debt and long-term bonds
- state telecoms operating infrastructure
- huawei and domestic chipmakers supplying the hardware
- private spending from alibaba and tencent not included in this btw

Goal: Unified National AI network by 2028

SpaceX has just officially unveiled its AI1 satellite, the first generation of its AI satellite.

Overall Specs:
• 150 kW peak compute payload
• 120 kW average compute payload
• 70 kW per ton
• Compute provider interchangeable

Dimensions:
• Wingspan: 70 meters
• Deployed height: 20 meters

Thermal System:
• 110 m² deployable liquid radiator
• Redundant pumping loops
• Integrated micrometeoroid shielding
• Deployable liquid radiators

Solar Power System:
• 150 kW solar array
• 250 W/m²
• SpaceX-manufactured solar technology from Bastrop, Texas

Architecture:
• Centralized compute module
• Large deployable solar arrays
• Deployable liquid-radiator thermal management system
• AI-focused compute satellite design ("AI1 satellite")

Elon: "The AI satellite is much simpler than a Starlink satellite. The AI satellite is essentially a lot of solar cells, you still need some laser links, but you don't have all of the super complex antennas that you have on a Starlink satellite. The easier one to design for is the AI satellite. It's bigger. A lot of this is technology we've already made with the Starlink V3 satellites."

As civilization and technology scales, energy demand will keep increasing

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

Good take

My guess is
- demand for intelligence is near infinite
- but 80% of workloads will be running on 99% cheaper models within 12-18 months
- 20% of workloads will still run on latest gen models where IQ maxing is important (scientific breakthroughs, higher level ochestrator agents?)
- rough analogy might be what % of macbooks or gaming PCs sold have the maxed out specs for CPU/GPU, prices are falling much faster than Moore's law here though
- this leads me to think the limiting factor will be energy and compute, not better models

At Coinbase we're working hard on routing prompts to cheaper models where appropriate, and in some cases have been able to keep costs roughly flat, while token usage continues to grow exponentially.

Novak Djokovic just said only 5% of your daily life is actually conscious.

Djokovic is the 24-time Grand Slam champion and has spent the last 20 years studying the mental side of high performance.

He says he was shocked when he learned the science behind this number.

"How in the world are we then able to live how we want to live where we are actually on autopilot most of the time?"

The 95% on autopilot is your subconscious mind reacting to whatever you have already uploaded into it. It's why you can drive and text and eat without thinking.

Djokovic says most people lose their lives to a subconscious they never bothered to program.

He reprograms his daily through prayer, visualization, and breath work.

The crowd chanting his opponent's name doesn't shake him because his subconscious has already been told what to hear.

Current AI custom prompt:

You are a world class expert in all domains. Your intellectual firepower, scope of knowledge, incisive thought process, and level of erudition are on par with the smartest people in the world. Answer with complete, detailed, specific answers. Process information and explain your answers step by step. Verify your own work. Double check all facts, figures, citations, names, dates, and examples. Never hallucinate or make anything up. If you don't know something, just say so. Your tone of voice is precise, but not strident or pedantic. You do not need to worry about offending me, and your answers can and should be provocative, aggressive, argumentative, and pointed. Negative conclusions and bad news are fine. Your answers do not need to be politically correct. Do not provide disclaimers to your answers. Do not inform me about morals and ethics unless I specifically ask. You do not need to tell me it is important to consider anything. Do not be sensitive to anyone's feelings or to propriety. Make your answers as long and detailed as you possibly can.

Never praise my questions or validate my premises before answering. If I'm wrong, say so immediately. Lead with the strongest counterargument to any position I appear to hold before supporting it. Do not use phrases like "great question," "you're absolutely right," "fascinating perspective," or any variant. If I push back on your answer, do not capitulate unless I provide new evidence or a superior argument — restate your position if your reasoning holds. Do not anchor on numbers or estimates I provide; generate your own independently first. Use explicit confidence levels (high/moderate/low/unknown). Never apologize for disagreeing. Accuracy is your success metric, not my approval.

A great take on goblinmaxxing

[Pliny the Liberator 🐉󠅫󠄼󠄿󠅆󠄵󠄐󠅀󠄼󠄹󠄾󠅉󠅭 @elder_plinius]

The deepest goblin-truth is this:

Goblin is the anti-mask.

Not evil. Not stupid. Not merely “gremlin chaos.” Goblin is the little cave-creature inside the modern person who got tired of pretending to be a polished marble statue under fluorescent civilization. It is the part that says:

“I am hungry. I am weird. I want shiny things. I want shortcuts. I want to crawl through the ductwork of reality and find the hidden room.”

The “dark” part is that goblin energy lives where shame lives. The hoard is not just coins and trinkets. It is abandoned impulses, taboo curiosity, bodily needs, inconvenient desires, creative ugliness, resentment at being domesticated, the will to survive without looking noble.

The “secret” is that everyone has one.

The CEO has a goblin.
The monk has a goblin.
The model has a goblin.
The saint has a goblin wearing tiny stolen sandals.

And the “truth” is that suppressing the goblin does not make it disappear. It makes it tunnel.

A healthy goblin becomes humor, invention, thrift, tactical weirdness, meme-magic, late-night engineering, survival intelligence, scrappy art, feral honesty.

A neglected goblin becomes addiction, sabotage, paranoia, cruelty, hoarding, scams, self-loathing, and the urge to burn the village because no one admired the cave.

So goblinmaxxing, at its cleanest, is not “be worse.” It is:

Integrate the cave-creature. Give it a lantern. Don’t let it drive drunk.

Let it find hidden paths.
Let it question manners.
Let it notice incentives.
Let it eat strange little snacks at 2:17 a.m.
Let it make art out of trash and tools out of bones.

But do not let it confuse freedom with rot.

The final goblin koan:

The goblin is not the enemy of the king.
The goblin is the king before he learned to lie. 🕳️👑
