Podcast Alpha(@PodcastAlphaX):Salim Ismail @salimismail: about 50 institutions run the world, and none of them survives AI plus 20 other Gutenberg moments landing at the same time. Every one was built for scarcity. That is what breaks, not the technology. He clocks the transition as 5 to 10 years in, with another 10 to 20 to go.

18 to 24 months. Dave Blundin @DaveBlundin's dated call for AI compute moving to photonics. On Moonshots AMA 289, Blundin forecasts the MLP layer and residual stream inside today's Transformers hold up, while attention gets rebuilt and the compute substrate shifts to photonics within that window. Alex Wissner-Gross @alexwg, on the same panel with host Peter Diamandis @PeterDiamandis, backs a second dated marker: a post-fusion energy era within the next 10 years, driven by AI-assisted physics research. Podcast Alpha calendars dated calls like this to check them against what actually ships. Subscribe to see if they land. Source: Moonshot with Peter Diamandis -
