Ngl this stuff is kind of terrifying. not from a “China bad” perspective, but from just how much this technology is going to change. And how fast it’s happening.
We might be living through an equivalent of the industrial revolution here.
I don’t think so. Until we get actual intelligence (called AGI now) and Fusion power we won’t have a second industrial revolution. Because once the power issue is solved, we only have a resource problem. We’ll see an explosion of industry if humanity can achieve fusion.
I know the meme is that fusion is always 20 years away, but with recent developments and China’s private companies achieving 2/3 critical conditions for extended fusion it really does feel like we’re less than 2 decades out from commercial fusion. Will be world changing, for better or for worse, and I’m excited that we’ll be around to see what it does.
