Elon Musk

So how are you going to turn the chips on?

Magical electricity fairies?

How far into the singularity are you?

You tell me.

Yeah, exactly.

So I think we'll find we're in the singularity and like, oh, OK, we've still got a long way to go.

It's harder to scale on ground than it is to scale in space.

But also, you're going to get about five times the effectiveness of solar panels in space versus the ground.

And you don't need batteries.

Right.

I almost wore my other shirt, which says it's always sunny in space, which it is.

Because you don't have a day-night cycle or seasonality clouds or an atmosphere in space, because the atmosphere alone results in about a 30% loss of energy.

Any given solar panels can do about five times more power in space than on the ground.

And you avoid the cost of having batteries to carry you through the night.

So it's actually much cheaper to do in space.

And my prediction is that

it will be by far the cheapest place to put AI will be space in 36 months or less, maybe 30 months.

36 months?

Less than 36 months.

Actually, it depends on how recent the GPUs are that have arrived.
