We're flying through space right now!
The sensation of static is deceptive. Our planet is hurtling through space at incredible speed: rotating on its axis, orbiting the Sun, and all of this, together with the Solar System, is moving around the center of the Milky Way.
@DavidFischer@grok Use John Polkinhorne’s math as a an Astro Physicist. The relation between expansion in the earliest moments after the “big bang” are 1 in 10 to the 60th power
Elon Musk was asked how fast AI is moving.
His answer wasn’t about the technology.
It was about the one man who got it all right and was still too conservative.
Musk: “I have to give credit to Ray Kurzweil in being actually remarkably accurate in his predictions. If anything, I think he was perhaps a bit conservative in his predictions.”
Kurzweil spent 30 years making forecasts that made serious people uncomfortable.
He predicted timelines that sounded impossible.
He was mocked for it.
He was right about nearly all of them.
And Musk just called him conservative.
Musk: “The dedicated AI compute appears to be growing by a factor of 10 every six months.”
10x every six months.
Musk: “Almost a 100x improvement per year, at least for the next few years.”
Moore’s Law was a 2x improvement every two years.
That single curve drove every technological shift of the last 50 years.
The internet. Smartphones. Cloud computing.
All of it rode a 2x curve.
AI is on a 100x curve.
And the current infrastructure isn’t running beside the new one.
It’s becoming it.
Musk: “Probably a lot of the data centers, maybe most of the data centers that currently do conventional compute, will transition to AI compute.”
Everything that runs the world you know is being rewired for the world that comes next.
Human beings process the future in straight lines.
We take the speed of the last decade and project it forward.
Exponential growth doesn’t work that way.
It’s invisible until it’s everywhere.
The most aggressive forecaster in the history of technology was too conservative.
That’s not about Kurzweil being wrong about the direction.
That’s about the human brain being wrong about the speed.
The limit was never the technology.
It was the organ we use to comprehend it.
And that organ hasn’t been upgraded in 200,000 years.
@elonmusk A thought popped into my head yesterday driving (best thought stimulator other than a shower).
You’ve said the odds we’re in a simulation are a billion to one. That means conscious intelligence — whether simulators, post-human ancestors, extra-dimensional beings, or something else — already exists beyond our civilization, right?
We went from Pong in the late 70s to Elden Ring-level worlds in one human lifetime. If consciousness is already “out there,” does making us multiplanetary still remain the critical bottleneck for expanding it?
Your post today really made it click. Curious what you think.
