“For millions of years, mankind lived just like the animals. Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination. We learned to talk and we learned to listen."
@PeterDiamandis Beyond the thrill of the initial ventures, it’s going to be unpleasant. Will need to be compensated somehow, similar to the way the western US was settled with compensation via land rights.
Your statement is true if goods & services output doesn’t rise dramatically due to AI/robots, but false if it does.
In a normal economy, issuing more money simply increases the dollar price of the existing output of goods & services, meaning people do NOT get more stuff.
If AI/robots massively increase goods & services output, then you actually MUST issue dollars to people or there will be massive disinflation. Prices are simply the ratio of goods & services output to number of dollars.
Yet more great news out of Brilliant Light Power yesterday. They posted a high resolution close up video of the SunCell in operation.
Here is the text that accompanied the video:
“Today we ran another 40-minute run at relatively low input power and stopped due to end of day for support staff. The SunCell was unchanged and will be restarted and run on Monday after a slight injector alignment adjustment.”
The video is great visual evidence of the fact that Dr. Mills has solved the metal opacification problem that could have been a real showstopper for commercialization.
To understand the problem, picture dumping some molten metal on glass. Typically, one would expect the metal to stick to the glass and make it opaque.
This was an issue with past iterations of the SunCell: the blazing hot molten tin that serves as electrodes to ignite and sustain the Hydrino reaction splashes all over the quartz reaction cylinder, as you can see in the video. In earlier prototypes, the molten tin would quickly coat the inside of the reaction chamber and prevent light from exiting.
The SunCell requires that the vast quantities of light generated by the Hydrino-powered blackbody plasma escape the reaction cylinder in order for it to not overheat and melt down. If the molten tin opacifies the cylinder, light can’t escape.
We don’t yet know how Dr. Mills did it, but as you can see in the video, he solved this issue. The molten tin beads up on the inside of the quartz cylinder like raindrops on a freshly waxed car. The quartz cylinder remains crystal clear throughout the run.
This is just one example of the numerous engineering challenges Dr. Mills faced in getting a commercial-ready SunCell and demonstrates his ingenuity in solving these challenges.
Another item of note: the area surrounding the SunCell gets very dark at various points throughout the video. This is the because the camera greatly reduces the exposure to capture the extremely bright light it emits without washing out the frame entirely. As a result, the normal ambient light illuminating the background is no longer strong enough to register on the sensor and the background gets plunged into darkness.
With the SunCell being run for 40 minutes with no degradation, I would guess that public demos are imminent.
Hydrino is the future, and the future is Brilliant.

@elonmusk@Gfilche Demonstrating Optimus as a commercially viable product is 100x more important to investors than pumping out volume on something that hasn’t proven it can actually produce. Optimus 3 demo is everything.
