00:00I heard about the formation of the Peace Summit, and I was like, is that P-I-E-C?
00:12You know, a little piece of Greenland, a little piece of Venezuela.
00:17You know, I'm often asked, are there aliens among us?
00:22And I'll say that I am one.
00:24But I think if anyone would know if there are aliens among us, it would be me.
00:28We have 9,000 satellites up there, and not once have we had to maneuver around an alien spaceship.
00:36So I'm like, I don't know.
00:38Bottom line is, I think we need to assume that life and consciousness is extremely rare, and it might only be us.
00:45My prediction is there will be more robots than people.
00:48If you have elderly parents, if you had a robot that could take care of and protect an elderly parent, I think that would be great.
00:57That would be an amazing thing to have.
00:59By the end of next year, I think we'd be selling humanoid robots to the public.
01:06We might have AI that is smarter than any human by the end of this year, and I would say no later than next year.
01:13Wow.
01:13And then probably by 2030 or 2031, call it five years from now, AI will be smarter than all of humanity collectively.
01:26Yeah, I think the limiting factor for AI deployment is fundamentally electrical power.
01:31I mean, we're seeing the rate of AI chip production increase exponentially.
01:35It's clear that we're very soon, maybe even later this year, we'll be producing more chips than we can turn on.
01:42Net effect is that the lowest cost place to put AI will be space, and that'll be true within two years.
01:51China's growth in electricity is tremendous.
01:53They're building 100 gigawatts of nuclear as we speak.
01:56Actually, solar is the biggest thing in China.
01:59So China's, I believe, China's production capacity on solar is 1,500 gigawatts a year, and they're deploying over 1,000 gigawatts a year.
02:08Unfortunately, in the U.S., the tariff barriers for solar are extremely high,
02:15and that makes the economics of deploying solar artificially high because China makes almost all the solar.
02:25With Starship, which is a giant rocket, it's the largest flying machine ever made.
02:29Hopefully this year we should prove full reusability for Starship,
02:33which will be a profound invention because the cost of access to space will drop by a factor of 100 when you achieve full reusability.
02:49It's the same sort of economic difference that you would expect between, say, a reusable aircraft and a non-reusable aircraft.
02:58Like, if you have to throw your aircraft away after every flight, that would be a very expensive flight.
03:04But if you only have to refuel, then it's the cost of the fuel.
03:09Yeah, I've been asked a few times, like, do I want to, you know, die on Mars?
03:13And I'm like, yes, but just not on impact.
