Elon Musk on how he stays sane and grounded:
“Don’t get high on your own supply.
Don’t start thinking too highly of yourself... because it reduces your feedback loop.”
The universe is at least 13.8 billion years old and we've had electricity for ~150. We are still at the very beginning of the beginning.
The first sparks of intelligence are just starting to spread beyond biology. The first machines that can reason, create, design, code, discover, and accelerate progress are only now appearing.
Energy tech, intelligence, medicine, robotics, space industry, materials, longevity, virtual worlds, brain interfaces, almost everything is still in its infancy.
But now we are accelerating with the greatest accelerator humanity has ever created: AI.
This is not normal technological progress anymore. By the end of the 2030s, we may not just be living in a slightly better world.
We will be living in a world that feels almost alien (but ultra amazing) compared to today.
We will see more progress and change in the next 5-10 years than during previous 2000 years.
