So this is like the solar singularity, which is showing that in Africa, solar power is just absolutely mooning.
It's wild.
yes and this is kind of like when smartphones just started working when smartphones started working they just went like you know the when the economics work it gets taken to its logical conclusion and just suddenly they started getting snapped up in africa they solar panels have gotten so robust so cheap they're resistant to like rocks hitting them and so on you know the glass doesn't shatter they can just work anywhere you know i'm a big nuclear guy i love nuclear but it's really nuclear and solar not ore and the reason is
Solar is just so easy to set up relative to nuclear.
You can just roll it off the truck or whatever, set it up.
You know, it's much, much easier permit wise, everything wise.
It takes up way more horizontal space.
It's not as scalable.
It doesn't provide like, you know, reliable power in the same way the batteries are improving that.
Anyway, point is, though, solar is real.
It's no longer like it can work in Africa without subsidies.
OK, so that's the solar singularity.
OK, here's another one.
the internet dating singularity you see this one yep right essentially all previous modes of how humans meet have been replaced right by just the internet in like 10 20 years right okay then here is the gold singularity just this i'm sure you've talked about this on your show right just gold going voof like this since you know the 2024 election right basically more than doubling
um here is the robot singularity not quite like as up and to the right as that but it's pretty up and so aggressive right it's impressive that's right um this is like the tariff singularity so to speak right just what i'm talking about are these radical changes like this like this you know right and um
Then this is like the agent.
Now, this one, by the way, is there's a very, very interesting comment.
You've seen this one, which is like the time for tasks an agent can do probably.
Right.
It basically says, oh, agents are getting more and more capable.
