Episode notes
China Versus The Internet Axis
- The modern world splits into two axes: China (physical) and the Internet (digital), each reshaping institutions.
- The internet displaces media and money while China dominates manufacturing and military power.
AI Is Becoming Polytheistic
- AI development is decentralizing: many high-quality foundation models exist rather than a single dominant AGI.
- This makes a hard single-vendor takeover less likely and favors a polytheistic AI ecosystem.
Mathematical Limits Constrain Superintelligence
- Fundamental limits (chaos, cryptography, turbulence) bound AI's ability to perfectly predict or dominate all systems.
- Those unpredictable domains make a single recursively self-improving superintelligence less inevitable.
