Lacey(@LaceyPresley):Humanity is ~Type 0.7. > Type I: master planetary-scale energy + orbital compute. > Type II: industrialize the Moon and surround the Sun with a Dyson swarm. > Type III: replicate that architecture across a galaxy. The jump from us to K3 is ~20 orders of magnitude in power. The ladder is simple: Reusable launch → orbital energy → off-world industry → self-replicating AI → the stars. K3 isn’t one invention. It’s infrastructure that learns how to reproduce itself.
