I posted about selling compute being the way of the future and a lot of you mocked me.
But look at what happened in the next few days.
META is selling cloud compute now, their stock just jumped 10% and is currently rallying to the moon.
Hats off to them, Zuck finally made a high IQ play.
But this is a smaller move in a broader picture.
By the time 2040 comes around, we will have digital heaven. Here's why.
Right now, we have slow AI. You ask it questions in a chat box, it takes time to process it, it spits out an answer.
It's good enough for most things. But it's jagged intelligence.
By 2030, we have AGI. There no longer is jagged intelligence.
Anything that can be done on a computer will be done competently by this system.
Anything. Think of a music performance by an expert pianist. Does he make mistakes when he performs in front of a massive crowd? No, he doesn't. He plays perfectly. Every note is hit with exact precision. You are not watching a newbie. You are watching a perfect master who can play a song for you without ever making a mistake or tripping over a note.
That's what AGI will be.
Once this happens, shortly after we will have ASI.
A super intelligent system that will solve any problem perceivable in the universe.
How do we master biology and what's the exact "method" to reverse aging? Solved.
How do we master climate change and what's the exact method to create a perfect environment? Solved.
How do we master nuclear fusion so that we can literally create limitless energy? Solved.
Every single problem becomes solved.
So what's the end game?
Digital heaven.
You will be given two options. Either stay on Earth, and beam your brain into a virtual world where you are a god and live in heaven. While your physical body is protected and maintained with anti aging drugs and rejuvenating systems.
Or, you can decide to leave Earth entirely, and explore the cosmos.
A portion of the population will not like this. They will decide to live normal lives. They won't create their perfect reality and will protest living in digital heaven. They would rather continue their current life on Earth.
The government would let them. Nobody would care.
Everyone will be too busy living their version of reality where they are a god and living in paradise.
