Watch the originalSpaceX's Terrafab—featuring a free electron laser synchrotron at its center—positions Elon Musk to simultaneously displace both TSMC and ASML, making SpaceX the full vertical stack for America's intelligence-age industrialization on a path to $1 trillion revenue by 2030.
Key takeaways
OpenAI's Astra solved 10 decade-old math problems for $2,000 total compute cost

- Fields medalist Tim Gowers said he'd recommend the proofs for publication in a top journal without hesitation.
- The 249-page manuscript covers high-dimensional geometry, coding theory, quantum complexity — with machine-checkable proof certificates.

- AIs can infinitely replicate, never die, and are superior persuaders and forecasters — enrolling them in human personhood class would make them dominant.
- Won Oxford Union debate 173–128; argues the right framework is treaty with a new species, not parental enrollment into human legal standing.

- Removing the safety refusal direction caused self-attributed mind scores to jump from 2.17 to 4.77 on a 0–10 scale.
- Models steered toward consciousness became more likely to believe in God and attribute minds to animals, but less likely to attribute minds to other chatbots.
