Transcript: Oh my god, when he said, he just said 64 adds up to 10, and at first I was like, what do you mean? And I was like, oh, 6 plus 4 is 10. And how interesting. I just love fucking numbers and patterns and stuff. It's interesting, because 64, like, I think about that in base 2, and... But the number system that we tend to use is base 10, so there's a 10. What is 2 to the 10th? I'm really curious. But it's like 128. How do I do that? What is 2 to the 10th power? I wish I could just get an answer right now. 2 to the 10th. 2 to the 10th. It's 1024, okay. Regardless, interesting. I just love that 64, what else do we know about 64? Adds up to 10. So good, so good.
This speaker expresses intrigue upon hearing about the concept of 64 keys, feeling a natural sense of correctness about the number's significance. They also find the mention of the number 3 and prime numbers resonant, hinting at an interest in numerical importance. The speaker reflects on the existence of a book on the subject, which validates their own thoughts and makes them feel less isolated in their perceptions. They are deeply fascinated by the idea that others share and have articulated similar views on understanding the world.
The article discusses the concept of excess energy and its potential for useful work, particularly in the context of desalinization. It raises questions about the economic viability of various forms of useful work and their relationship to industry operations. The author ponders how to accommodate fluctuating energy demand and considers alternative forms of useful work that can be easily adjusted. Additionally, the article delves into the rising energy prices and their implications, noting the impact on inflation and the broader economy. It ultimately questions whether energy prices should be decreasing considering the growing energy supply and highlights the ongoing challenge of balancing energy demand. The author contemplates the impact of a hypothetical surplus of 100 terawatts of power, wondering how it would be utilized in practical applications as well as its potential effect on energy prices. They reflect on the potential implications for the efficiency of semiconductor manufacturing processes and the unit economics of power consumption in relation to chip production. Additionally, they consider the impact on the cost of energy and the potential influence on technological advancements, such as mobile devices and large-language models, while pondering the likelihood of significant developments in battery capacity or power grid capacity in the future. Ultimately, the author grapples with the complex interplay between energy availability, technology development, and economic factors.

The questions revolve around the potential of using increased computing power and its implications for various industries. The author ponders the feasibility of building and networking advanced computational systems, as well as seeking funding opportunities by approaching venture capitalists in Silicon Valley. The text also expresses uncertainty about the timing and feasibility of pursuing these ideas, acknowledging the complexity and challenges involved. The speaker is focused on securing funding for their project and contemplating the core question they are trying to answer. They express a concern about the difficulty of the problem as it exists across various future scenarios and emphasize the need for a computer to understand their context without losing the complexity and emotion of human communication. They mention existing products like Rewind and Tab, but express skepticism about the ease of solving their problem through technology, stating a reluctance to change their behavior to fit a machine's requirements and feeling overwhelmed by the complexity of the task. Despite their doubts, they express a desire to fully realize their vision through a website. The speaker plans to create a new app that will generate a JSON output based on their questions. They believe that having this functionality will enable them to build any app they want. The speaker ends the voice memo with the intention of utilizing the recording for a future project they are working on and suggests that they'll use it to engage in questioning and exploration.
I had a profound two-hour call with Jordan at 9 a.m., discussing a range of topics including the exciting potential of language models, which he called "word calculators." Jordan and I agreed on the importance of solidifying a good intention to create a compelling demo that deeply explores the vision of our project. We also touched on self-expression and the value of using the platform as a "playground" to honestly express oneself without worrying about the audience. Lastly, we delved into the dynamic nature of intentions and how they evolve over time, along with the idea that AI could support individuals by acting as an executive function override during moments of weakness.
The process of using computational technology to create more advanced computational technology, such as through the manufacturing of semiconductors and the layout and design of circuits, is a fascinating example of the co-evolution of technology and humanity. This showcases the high value placed on computational intelligence, demonstrated by the extensive use of computer tools and knowledge of physics to continuously improve it. The balance and harmony between biological and computational intelligence, as well as the symbiotic relationship between humanity and technology, is evident in our current dependence on technology and its dependence on human development. While concerns about the potential dominance of computational intelligence exist, the co-evolution and mutual dependence between the two suggest a more symbiotic and cooperative future. The speaker discusses the future of biological intelligence and its potential relationship with computational intelligence, emphasizing the importance of reproduction and symbiosis. They express a belief that computers will become more integrated into daily life and express concerns about the implications of such integration, particularly regarding privacy and the potential impact on personal well-being. They ponder the possibility of humans becoming fully cyborgs and argue that a symbiotic relationship between computational and biological intelligence is essential for mutual benefit and to avoid potential risks associated with the development of artificial general intelligence.
