I'll be debating Beff Jezos — e/acc ⏩ on the role of centralization versus decentralization in powering the techno-capitalist machine to Kardashev-scale abundance.

Hosted by Samuel Hammond 🌐🏛

Thursday, May 2nd, at 8VC offices in San Francisco

Capitalism, uh, finds a way

Bring back space

Wake up Europe, the digital age is bypassing you. You have no Google , Amazon, Meta, Apple. You arrogantly called SpaceX a fanciful dream and it wiped out the European Space Agency. You have no Nvidia and your response to AI has been to regulate before you have anything domestic…

This is as deep tech as it gets

Incredibly ambitious, demanding engineering challenges, that if succeeds revolutionizes and deflates the cost of a foundational world changing technology.

It's in all of our interests that Extropic succeeds in it's mission to decentralize AI

There is no greater threat to power than material and energy abundance

No greater challenge to incumbents than new technology

The triumph of the human spirit over injustice and inequity is fueled by building a better tomorrow.

Realistically by the time high speed rail is available in California most of humanity will live off-planet and travel by wormhole network

Atomic power can easily guarantee energy independence into the indefinite future while being clean, reliable, and safe

More than that, it can do so with the absolute minimum in material and land out of any energy production method.

It would power us to the stars if we let it.

We have a moral obligation to understand the physics of our energy economy because it is the basis of all wealth, prosperity, and abundance in your life, and the lives of all future generations.

The world consumes 3x more electrical energy on crushing rocks than it does on data centers, 3-4% versus 1-1.5%.

We actually crush rocks more than we make them think. Sad for the rocks tbh.

The technical term for rock crushing is comminution, and accounts for on average 50% of the electrical power used by mines but only 20% of total energy used by mining, since mines use a lot of transportation fuel.

Each stage of communition has a reduction ratio from the larger…

3% percent of the world's total generated electrical power is used to crush rocks

The future is forged by the power of our imaginations and the sweat and steel of industry.

The hyperstitial narrative engine of progress is one that seamlessly snatches miracles from the realm of possibility and turns them into the everyday wonders of modern life.
