“A future like this has four prerequisites. First is access to a meaningful fraction of a star’s energy output (orders of magnitude beyond what human civilization produces today). Second is physical intelligence at scale: machines that can build, mine, refine, and repair anything, anywhere, without a human in the loop. Third is cheap digital intelligence that exceeds biological intelligence. And fourth is a way to move mass off the planet cheaply, frequently, and reliably, because none of the above scales on Earth alone”.
SpaceX & the Sentient Sun
By @mikemcg0 and myself Elon Musk’s compensation package at SpaceX is structured around two targets. The first award vests if the company reaches a valuation of $7.5 trillion and establishes a

@FinanceYF5: 1/ SpaceX is not a rocket company. a16z just published a deep-dive essay that reads like science fiction, but the core is an industry judgment: SpaceX is turning 'going to space' into an AI infrastructure problem. If the biggest bottleneck for AI is energy, then orbit, the Moon, and Mars are not distant places, but the next layer of server rooms.
