Nvidia’s Worst Nightmare? Elon Unveils TERAFAB #elonmusk #ai#terafab

Kind: captions Language: en important announcement to make, which is the most epic chip building exercise in history by far. We are starting to be a galactic galactic civilization. So, I think the future that everyone well most people I think would agree is the most exciting is one where we are out there among the stars, where we are not forever confined to one planet, that we become a multi-planet species, like the best science science fiction that you've ever read. You know, Star Trek or Ian Banks or Asimov or Heinlein, and we want to make that real. Turn science fiction to science fact. And it's worth considering sort of like how would you rate civilizations? And he said, "Well, if you're type one, you're using most of the energy of your planet." And [clears throat] we actually still have quite a a ways to go to be properly a type one. We're still using a tiny fraction of the sun's energy that reaches our planet. But the Earth only receives about half a billionth of the sun's energy. So, the sun is truly enormous. The another way to think about it is roughly like electricity production on Earth of all of civilization is only about a trillionth of the sun's energy, which means if you increase civilization power output by a million, you would still only be a millionth of the sun's energy. >> [applause] >> So, to do that, we need that to harness the power of the sun. And so, a terrafab, while it is enormous, a terawatt of compute per year is is enormous by our sort of civilizational standards, it is still just one step along the way of being even a Kardashev. You're still have a long way to go to even be a Kardashev two level civilization, and you're not even registering as a Kardashev three. So, it's a very big thing by current human standards, but but still small in the grand scheme. So, to to accomplish this very difficult goal, really requires a combination of efforts of SpaceX, xAI, and Tesla working together to create this epic terrafab project. And the the key missing ingredient is therefore a terawatt of compute. So, this announcement is about solving the key missing ingredient.
