You know, attacking or monopolizing or co-opting any one point in that chain, you kind of capture the space. And so what I'm trying to do is sort of explode the variance of possible ways to do AI and hardware. by fundamentally reimagining how you embed AI algorithms into the physical world. And in general, by the way, I dislike the term AGI, artificial general intelligence.

I think it's very anthropocentric that we call human-like or human-level AI artificial general intelligence, right? I've spent my career so far exploring notions of intelligence that no biological brain could achieve, right?

quantum form of intelligence right grokking systems that have multi-partite quantum entanglement that you can provably not represent efficiently on a classical computer a classical deep learning representation and hence any sort of biological brain and so already, you know, I've spent my career sort of exploring the wider space of intelligences.

And I think that space of intelligence inspired by physics rather than the human brain is very large. And I think we're going through a moment right now similar to When we went from geocentrism to heliocentrism, right? But for intelligence, we realized that human intelligence is just a point in a very large space of potential intelligences. And it's both... humbling for humanity.

It's a bit scary that we're not at the center of the space, but we made that realization for astronomy and we've survived and we've achieved technologies by indexing to reality. We've achieved technologies that ensure our well-being. For example, we have satellites monitoring solar flares that give us a warning. And so similarly, I think by

letting go of this anthropomorphic, anthropocentric anchor for AI, we'll be able to explore the wider space of intelligences that can really be a massive benefit to our well-being and the advancement of civilization.

I think there's a lot of beauty in the universe, right? I think life itself, civilization, this homo, techno, capital, mimetic machine that we all live in, right? So you have humans, technology, capital, memes. Everything is coupled to one another. Everything induces selective pressure on one another. And it's a beautiful machine that has created us, has created us.
