@beffjezos Necessarily so, as power harnessed would be more than a trillion times what human civilization uses today.

I would like to offer a counterargument that LLMs (or maybe AIs) cannot jump.

Before AlphaGo, the AI field had the same argument for Go: there are 2.08 × 10^170 possibilities, nothing fits in the computer, and there is no way AI could possibly predict the outcome of the next 50-60 moves.

It turned out most moves do not lead to a win. Combined with clever use of Monte Carlo Tree Search, the sampling becomes quite manageable. The same can be said for physics, where equations are just another form of compression.

Einstein did not start with relativity. That was not his first paper. He spent years understanding the properties of light before concluding that the speed of light is constant across the universe, which unlocked his discovery of relativity. During his thought process, he also interacted with other physicists (e.g., sub-agents) to enrich his thinking.

Currently we have not run an agent for years of compute. The sessions are often fragmented and disoriented, so every new session is almost a fragmented memory of the past, but it may not be for long.

Jensen Huang just made the case that the smartest person in the room is now the most replaceable person on earth.

Huang: “The definition of smart is somebody who’s intelligent, solve problems, technical. But I find that that’s a commodity. And we’re about to prove that artificial intelligence is able to handle that part easiest.”

The skill you built your entire identity around was the first thing the machine replicated.

Not the hardest part. The easiest.

Huang: “People who are able to see around corners are truly, truly smart. And their value is incredible. To be able to preempt problems before they show up, just because you feel the vibe.”

Huang: “That vibe came from a combination of data, analysis, first principle, life experience, wisdom, sensing other people.”

The vibe is not intuition. It is decades of failed bets, human friction, and first-principles thinking compressed into a single read no model can replicate.

You cannot prompt your way to it. You earn it by surviving things that had no instructions.

Huang: “I think long term the definition of smart is someone who sits at that intersection of being technically astute, but human empathy and having the ability to infer the unspoken, around the corners, the unknowables.”

Every institution you ever passed through graded you on the one thing the machine now does for free.

The thing they never tested you on is the only thing that still matters.

Huang: “And that person might actually score horribly on the SAT.”

The SAT did not measure intelligence. It measured obedience to structure.

The future does not reward what you can solve inside a framework someone handed you. It rewards what you can see when no framework exists.

The machine did not replace human intelligence.

It revealed that what we spent a century calling intelligence was never intelligence at all.

The people who memorized the answers are about to work for the people who sensed the questions before anyone thought to ask.

⚡️Elite universities have become legitimacy factories for a ruling class that no longer recognizes itself as ideological.

That is the deepest point.

The professors are not merely “left wing.”

They occupy the upstream layer that defines which beliefs count as informed, humane, serious, safe, modern, expert, and employable.

Once one ideological bloc dominates that layer, it does not need to win every public argument. It can shape the language, credentials, hiring filters, professional norms, and moral assumptions through which the argument is processed.

That is far more powerful than ordinary partisan politics.

A political party governs for a term.

A credentialing system governs the categories of thought.

The machine works through selection. Similar people hire similar people. Graduate students learn the boundaries. Dissenters self-censor, leave, or stop applying. Research questions drift toward approved premises. Peer review rewards familiar assumptions. Administrators institutionalize the moral vocabulary. After enough cycles, the population becomes so homogeneous that ideology is experienced internally as neutral competence.

That is the moment capture becomes invisible to the captured.

They stop thinking, “our institution has a political orientation.”

They start thinking, “educated people understand reality this way.”

That sentence is the lock.

Once the lock is in place, disagreement becomes evidence of ignorance, malice, backwardness, or psychological defect. The dissenter no longer presents a competing model. The dissenter becomes a problem to be classified.

That destroys correction.

Every institution needs internal enemies, rival frameworks, and people willing to say the sacred premise is wrong. Without that friction, intelligence turns inward and starts defending status. Consensus thickens. Language becomes ritualized. Failed ideas survive because too many careers depend on them. Reality keeps sending contradiction, and the institution converts contradiction into moral explanation.

That is how elite stupidity forms.

The downstream effect is enormous because universities do not stay on campus. They produce journalists, lawyers, judges, civil servants, policy staff, nonprofit executives, tech leaders, HR departments, teachers, doctors, consultants, and cultural gatekeepers. The worldview travels inside people, then hardens into systems.

A hiring rubric.

A moderation policy.

A newsroom frame.

A legal theory.

A corporate training.

A grant condition.

A curriculum.

A risk score.

A professional code.

Ideology becomes infrastructure.

The strongest hidden consequence is that the university monoculture helped create a regime where the public increasingly distrusts expertise itself.

Once expertise becomes visibly fused with one political class, every expert claim inherits the suspicion attached to that class.

Genuine science, real competence, and serious scholarship all get contaminated by association.

Japan's bond market is seeing historic volatility.

The 10Y Japanese government bond yield dropped -16 basis points on Friday, to 2.71%, the largest daily decline since April 2025.

This follows a rise to 2.90% on Thursday, the first time the 10Y JGB yield reached that level in 30 years.

At the same time, the 30Y JGB yield fell -13 basis points, to 3.87%, the largest daily drop since January 21st.

This came after Japan's Finance Minister said the government wants to encourage pension funds, including the $1.8 trillion Government Pension Investment Fund, to increase investment in domestic assets.

If this materializes, Japan's largest pension fund could eventually shift allocation away from overseas securities and toward JGBs, easing pressure on the domestic debt market.

The move could also support the Yen by reducing capital outflows from Japan.

Japan’s bond and currency markets are set to remain highly volatile.

‼️ The Chinese and Russians want to use malware to paralyze the Starlink satellite network, according to secret documents obtained from clandestine military forums. And if malware doesn't work, they plan to just shoot the satellites down.

Chinese state aerospace researchers are pitching a three-stage plan to defeat Starlink. It escalates from regulatory pressure to coordinated jamming to physically destroying satellites in orbit.

The same cache includes a protocol signed in Moscow in June 2023 to jointly build an air- and missile-defense system against US hypersonic weapons, a class of technology Moscow historically refused to share with anyone.

Beijing still calls itself neutral on Ukraine. These documents make that position very hard to sustain.

Note: the slides have been translated from Russian and Chinese into English for this post.

Epicurus – for the weekend…

His name now adorns luxury restaurants and gourmet culture. He lived on bread, water, and cheese, and called it a feast.
The most misunderstood philosopher who ever lived:

1. Everyone thinks Epicurus means pleasure in the modern sense – excess, luxury, sophisticated consumption. He means the opposite. Pleasure for Epicurus is the absence of pain and anxiety. Not the addition of more. The subtraction of everything unnecessary. The hedonic calculus runs backward from what we assume: the richest life has the fewest dependencies.

2. Ataraxia — tranquility, freedom from mental disturbance — is his highest goal. Not achievement. Not recognition. Not the maximization of experience. The quiet mind. In an age of engineered anxiety, algorithmic outrage, and infinite scroll, this is not a relaxation tip. It is a radical political position.

3. He said friendship is the greatest of all goods. Not family, not status, not wealth – friendship. Chosen, voluntary, reciprocal. His school was a garden outside Athens, open to everyone regardless of class or gender. The original civil society: a small community of people who decided to think and live well together, outside the noise of the city.

4. On death: when you exist, death is not present. When death is present, you no longer exist. Therefore death is never your problem. This is the most liberating argument in Western philosophy, and the one modern therapeutic culture — which has monetized anxiety about mortality into an entire industry — most needs and least wants to hear.

5. The Epicurean weekend looks like this: simple food, a walk, a conversation with someone you actually like, enough silence to think. No content consumption as a substitute for experience. No status performance. No optimization. The man who gave his name to the gourmet menu would have found the menu exhausting and the company at the table more interesting than anything on it.
