It's so heavy that light can't escape.

So if you're inside the event horizon, then...

then light can't escape beyond that.

So I think what he's meaning is if we're beyond the event horizon, it means that now we're just trapped in the gravitational attraction of the black hole, or in this case, we're trapped in the inevitable slide, if you want, towards AGI.

When you think about the economic value of AGI, which I've estimated at $15 quadrillion, that acts as a giant magnet in the future.

We're being pulled towards it.

We're being pulled towards it.

And the closer we get, the stronger the force.

The probability, the closer we get, the higher the probability that we will actually get there.

So people are more willing to invest.

And we also start to see spinoffs from that investment, such as ChatGPT, which generates a certain amount of revenue and so on.

So it does act as a magnet.

And the closer we get, the harder it is to pull out of that field.

Yeah.

And, you know, there are many legends, the sort of be careful what you wish for legend.

And in fact, the King Midas legend is very relevant here.

What's that?

So King Midas is this legendary king who lived in modern day Turkey, but I think it's like Greek mythology.

He is said to have asked the gods to grant him a wish.

The wish being that everything I touch should turn to gold.
