Friday night tunneling in Nashville!

Prufrock-MB2 is boring through the Music City limestone using 1,000,000+ lb of axial thrust, and 4,000,000+ lb of lateral gripping force.

ELON MUSK ON BUILDING A “STAR MIND” POWERED BY THE SUN

“We’ve already built the most powerful AI training clusters in the world. And then what we expect to do by the end of next year is about 10 times more than what we’ve done thus far. This will be very important practice for space AI.

And I do think that AI training will continue to be on the ground, but AI inference, the day-to-day use of AI, will be in space. So we’re aiming to get to 10 gigawatts by the end of next year. This is depending on what the value per watt is.

If the value per watt is probably going to be $30 to $50, which means if we bring 10 gigawatts of AI online by the end of next year, it will be $300 to $500 billion a year in revenue. Big numbers. And sometimes I wonder, what is our purpose?

And it could be that the purpose of humanity is to give birth to a star mind, a sentient sun. I don’t know what the AI is going to think about, honestly. It’s a lot of compute.

But I guess this is the next step in the evolution of a civilization, is to harness the power of the sun. There was a physicist called Kardashev who argued that you could consider any given civilization on the basis of whether it has been able to harness most of the power of its planet, or most of the power of its sun, or most of the power of its galaxy, and beyond. So that’s what’s going to happen.

And we’re going to do it. The factory for star mind will be located nearby, adjacent to us, basically. They just come from space.”
