When people like Paul Cristiano talk about rapid acceleration, they're talking about Dyson spheres by twenty thirty or twenty forty at the latest.
So uh I did I did some numbers earlier on the twenty forty on the twenty forty numbers.
Um and you know, assuming that energy consumption or ener energy production uh growth is in line with GDP growth.
A twenty forty Dyson sphere is something like a six hundred and forty percent per annum global GDP growth.
Uh right now global GDP growth is about at three percent, two to three percent.
truly
Boggles the mind.
Uh so the qu like the question for me
Which I I regard all of the guys inside AI AI research as math essentialists.
They're believing that, okay, math, uh, you know, getting good at math means getting good physics, getting good physics means getting good at chemistry, getting good at chemistry means getting good at biology.
And once you have all of those, like everything is basically, you know, solvable and, you know, everything will be solved, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
And uh the economists on the other hand are like completely like this is untrue.
Like getting good at math doesn't mean anything.
There's no economic value to the Millennium Challenge problems.
Uh implementation takes time.
Uh, most of the problems that we face are coordination problems.
For example, you know, a copper mine takes thirty years because of the, you know, environmental protests around it.
These are not these are not problems due to
You know, technology, these are problems due to, you know, humans having their own way of making decisions, and those decisions are made.
In a slow and you know considered manner.
