I mean, there are a few companies that are pursuing new ways of doing chips, but they're just not scaling fast.
I'd say people should just do the thing where they find that they're highly motivated to do that thing, as opposed to some idea that I suggest.
They should do the thing that they find personally interesting and motivating to do.
um but but you know going back to the limiting factor here's that phrase about 100 times um the the current limiting factor that i see in the time frame you know in the sort of 20
29, 20, like in the three to four year time frame, it's chips.
In the one year time frame, it's energy, power production, electricity.
It's not clear to me that there's enough usable electricity to turn on all the AI chips that are being made.
Towards the end of this year, I think we're going to have real trouble turning on... The chip output will exceed the ability to turn chips on.
Well, we're trying to accelerate electricity production.
I guess that's maybe one of the reasons that...
XAI will be maybe the leader, hopefully the leader, is that we'll be able to turn on more chips than other people can turn on faster.
Because we're good at hardware.
And generally the innovations from the
corporations that mess that call themselves labs um the the idea is sent to flow like it's it's rare to see that there's like more than about a six month difference um between um like the ideas uh travel back and forth um with the people so so i think you sort of hit the hardware wall and um
And then whichever company can scale hardware the fastest will be the leader.
And so I think XCI will be able to scale hardware the fastest and therefore most likely will be the leader.
I think the future is going to be very interesting.
And as I said, the devil's up.
I was literally on the ground for like three hours or something.
It's better to err on the side of optimism and be wrong than err on the side of pessimism and be right for quality of life.
