Elon Musk just explained why artificial intelligence cannot physically survive on Earth. In a conversation with Jamie Dimon, Musk bypassed the romance of space exploration entirely. He answered with physics. Musk: “I think we can do probably somewhere around 1 terawatt per year of AI space compute from Earth, but we can do 1,000 terawatts or more from the Moon.” One terawatt. That is the thermodynamic ceiling of this entire planet. Every nuclear plant. Every solar farm. Every grid upgrade humanity can possibly build. All of it maxes out at one terawatt of AI compute. Earth is no longer a canvas. It is a bottleneck. So Musk is looking at the Moon. Not for flags. Not for footprints. For leverage. Musk: “Because the Moon has no atmosphere and about one-sixth Earth’s gravity, you can use an electromagnetic accelerator… You don’t need to use rockets to do AI data centers into deep space from the Moon. You can literally just shoot them like a railgun type of thing.” He is not describing a research outpost. He is describing a frictionless manufacturing hub on a celestial body. Mine the lunar surface for raw material. Build solar arrays and thermal radiators on-site. Construct an electromagnetic railgun. And fire AI superclusters directly into the vacuum of deep space. No supply chain from Earth. No atmosphere to fight. No fuel to burn on exit. A thousand terawatts. A 1,000x multiplier on the physical limit of human intelligence. And the Moon isn’t even the endgame. Musk: “We can build a self-growing city on the Moon faster than we could do so on Mars.” The Moon is the factory floor. Mars is the civilization. Musk: “If you warm up Mars, you could one day make Mars like Earth, meaning with liquid oceans and life and where you could walk outside without a spacesuit type of thing.” Musk: “I call Mars a fixer-upper of a planet, but it’s got a lot of potential.” A fixer-upper. That is how the richest man on Earth talks about an entire planet. Like a house with good bones and a bad roof. The rest of the industry is fighting over zoning permits and year-long environmental reviews to plug in a single server farm. Musk is building a magnetic launcher on the Moon to fire compute into the cosmos. For ten thousand years, humanity looked up at the stars and saw mythology. Musk looks up and sees bandwidth. We thought the ultimate purpose of spaceflight was exploration. It was always infrastructure. Earth was never the destination. It was the incubator.

Zelenskyy’s open letter to Putin will bring neither a meeting nor peace. It is a shrewd information operation to which Putin has no good response other than continuing the war. At this stage, however, that works more to Ukraine’s advantage than to Russia’s. And Putin knows that if his authority collapses, he will fall with it, and Russia will be forced to abandon its imperial wars. Zelenskyy’s letter should be a signal to all of Ukraine’s friends: now is the time to apply decisive pressure on Russia so that it recognizes the failure of its strategic objectives.

The Swedish Transport Administration has now started to lower the speed limit in and around towns to increase traffic safety. However, this does not solve the core issue of the human factor. That is solved by approving autonomous software like Tesla FSD.

Hey @X, we need a filter to block unoriginal quote posts. My feed gets flooded with engagement farmers rewriting the exact same thought in their own words without adding new value or insight. Let us mute or collapse unoriginal commentary that just restates the original post.

Finland wants to build a highway and railway connection from Turku to Stockholm. Other projects currently under consideration to improve the Finnish connecticity to the European mainland include the Helsinki - Tallinn tunnel and Vaasa - Umeå bridge.

🚨 BREAKING: SecDef Pete Hegseth stares right at the press and goes scorched earth, spelling out their insanity. I could watch this all day. "You, and I mean specifically YOU, the press, you cheer against Trump so hard, it's in your DNA and in your blood to cheer against Trump, because you want him not to be successful so bad, you have to cheer against the efficacy of these strikes. You have to hope maybe they weren't effective." "Maybe the way the Trump administration is representative isn't true. So let's take half truths, spun information, leaked information, and then spin it, spin it in every way we can to try to cause doubt and manipulate the mind, the public mind, over whether or not our brave pilots were successful." "How many stories have been written about how hard it is to, I don't know, fly a plane for 36 hours? Has MSNBC done that story? Has Fox? Have we done the story how hard that is?" "There are so many aspects of what our brave men and women did that because of the hatred of this press corps are undermined because people are trying to leak and spin that it wasn't successful. It's irresponsible." "You're undermining the success of incredible B-2 pilots and incredible F-35 pilots and incredible refuelers and incredible air defenders who accomplished their mission." "How about we talk about how special America is, that only we have these capabilities? I think it's too much to ask, unfortunately, for the fake news. So we're used to that."

Demis Hassabis’s “Einstein test” for defining AGI: Train a model on all human knowledge but cut it off at 1911, then see if it can independently discover general relativity (as Einstein did by 1915); if yes, it’s AGI.

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt’s #1 piece of advice for startups building in the age of AI “I am struck by the speed with which you can build demonstrations of new ideas.” Eric shares that in a recent hackathon he was a part of, the winning team used AI to generate Python code that was able to fly a drone in a simulator. “It would have taken a week or two for good professional programmers to do that.” He advises founders: “If you can't get your prototype built in a day using these various tools, you need to think about that, because that's what your competitor is doing… My biggest advice is when you start thinking about a company: it's very important to prototype your idea using these tools as quickly as you can. Because you can be sure there's another person doing exactly that same thing in another company, in another university, in a place that you've never been.” Source: @Stanford (Apr 2024)

We bomb other countries, but we don't even need to be bombed; it always looks like bombs have hit us. A resident of Yakutia shows what a region looks like where there is gas, oil, coal, gold, and diamonds, but no money for the people. Putin has brainwashed the Russians for years so that they will now participate in his perverse war of conquest in Ukraine and not condemn it.

If Mark Rutte doesn't speak on behalf of NATO then what's the purpose of Mark Rutte. Time for a change.

I fully support @kajakallas as head of NATO, replacing Mark Rutte. Mark Rutte should resign! #NAFO
