Elon Musk on an economy so large that needs disappear.
"In the future, things could be free. With an AI and robotics economy millions of times larger than today’s, any need can be met—anyone could even take a trip to Saturn. Then we go beyond the Moon and Mars."
Most people still price the future in today’s wages and scarcity. Elon is describing a scale jump — AI + robots expanding the economy so far that abundance is the default, and deep space is a weekend option, not a fantasy.
• AI + robotics economy — millions of times larger
• Needs met — free becomes possible
• Trip to Saturn — then beyond Moon and Mars
Scarcity is the old model.
Abundance is the build.
The solar system is the playground.
Fantastic news: the US, Denmark, and Greenland will sign US security deal for Greenland in New York tomorrow.
Gentle reminder how most of the European security analysts were totally wrong about the possible outcome of the Greenland crisis. Not the first time & not the last time.
Fantastic progress on binary field techniques in Plonky3 lately.
We just opened a bunch of AArch64 performance issues if you want to dig in. The optimizations get quite subtle, so we highly recommend throwing your best LLM at them :)
