Tesla Owners Silicon Valley(@teslaownersSV):Elon Musk on the future of energy and intelligence. “As you harness more and more of the Sun's energy, the ability to turn that into intelligence is fundamentally a digital computer thing.” Musk points out how enormous the Sun's energy supply really is. Even if civilization increased its total energy use by 1 million times, it would still use far less than one-millionth of the Sun's energy. Most of that future energy use would likely happen in deep space. The bigger idea: Humanity's future may be about turning more of the Sun's enormous energy supply into computation, AI, and intelligence. From solar energy to digital intelligence.
