Episode notes
Compute vs. People
- Tech companies now face a decision: invest in people or compute.
- Chip compute may exceed global brain compute, potentially demonetizing the economy.
Engines of Creation
- Peter Diamandis mentions reviewing Eric Drexler's book, Engines of Creation.
- The book discusses nanotech assemblers building things atom by atom.
Scaling Tech
- Scaling technology is primarily an engineering challenge, not an invention problem.
- Once invented, scaling becomes relatively easier, like perovskite solar cells.
