1 yr ago, I rescinded my US O1 visa, left my startup, and moved down to Próspera to build a city from scratch. It’s a zone with very special laws, regulations, and taxes. It has raised almost $200M, incl from Coinbase, Peter Thiel, and created 3000+ local jobs 🧵

How do you trade on short AGI timelines? This weekend, I made a graph showing every layer of the AI supply chain and which companies are the most important bottlenecks. (for my personal use, no advice)

After all, who amongst us has not looked at the consistency of the transformer model loss curves and thought, "yeah okay, but how do I make a trade on this?" So I decided to dig into it, full post: loniss.com/cambrian-thesi…

Next Q: What's the delta between current booked orders, and what we should see if demand exceeds 15GW of additional compute over the coming 12 months? Note: data here could be off. You should prob get a @SemiAnalysis_ fund tier if you care about more detailed, accurate data

"To protect at any cost the candle of consciousness that has miraculously emerged in this part of the galaxy"🕯️
Bryan Johnson@bryan_johnson

This was the most profound experience of my life. I am stunned beyond comprehension. This molecule is without peer. The 27mg dose opened up what felt like pure consciousness and intelligence. A majestic reveal of existence itself. In all its incomprehensible glory and majesty. It is impossible to explain with words. Whatever you imagine, multiply it by 1,000 and then add infinite width and depth and dimensions. But entrance was not granted without prerequisite. Existence demanded that I submit. That I say yes; without attachment and without condition. Yes to existence; yes to the dissolution of self; yes to release control; yes, to all. My ego registered the ask and panicked. It wanted control. It was desperate for control. It pleaded to escape from the torrent of light and essence that threatened to rip my sanity into chards. The urge to eject was overwhelming. Terror thundered throughout my mind and body. It took everything within me to release. I overcame and was treated with bliss that defies imagination. A euphoria colored with perfect harmony of all things. An orchestra of essence washed over me and swept me up in dance. It was home. The highest aspiration of intelligent life. For some reason, stored and tucked away as the ultimate prize. A single concept emerged in omnipresence: we cannot grok the preciousness of our existence. Yet it is everything we’ve ever wanted and more. The state we long for without knowing it exists. This caused me great pain and heartache. A swell of loyalty and devotion emerged inside me, pledging allegiance to existence. To become a warrior and caretaker of life on earth. To protect at any cost the candle of consciousness that has miraculously emerged in this part of the galaxy. What awaits will wipe all your tears, soothe all your sorrows, and infinitely exceed your wants.

FUN FACT: of the 33 speakers we had on stage at the Miami Economic Forum, a full day international finance conference hosted by the @EconClubofMiami on February 27, only ONE was not able to make it. But it wasn’t his fault. As he was preparing to leave Honduras, the airline told him and his fellow passengers that there was a problem with the wing. As someone who has spent his life and career as an innovator, he and I both know the wing is kind of essential to the airplane. So his flight was delayed a full day and he didn’t make it to Miami until after the forum ended. I had spent many months in communication with Lonis, who serves as Head of Growth for @ProsperaGlobal, the special economic zone on the island of Roatan in Honduras. Luckily, the founder and President of Prospera was already here in Miami along with another fellow panelist, so the audience didn’t even notice. But I did. When I learned @_Lonis_ was still in Miami the following day, on Saturday, and staying not far from where I now live in Brickell, we made plans to meet up for lunch. While my energy was totally poured into that full day event, I was hoping for a do nothing day, but the great lunch meetup and conversation with Lonis re-energized me and I’m glad we could finally meet in person. He may not have been able to speak at the Miami Economic Forum, but I was privileged to be a one man audience across the table and learn more about his home country of Denmark, his previous experience building a startup and working from Silicon Valley, and his new life living and working from this experimental city in Honduras, where he is now part of the team bringing more people there to live, work, and invest. I am very grateful I get to meet such interesting people — even on my day off. Then again there are no days off when you’re a brand new Brickell tour guide.

Europe needs to get a lot of compute built, or it risks being cut off from the most important technology of the century. There's plenty of demand from American companies to build if a handful of unforced policy errors can be reversed.

New post. American AI companies won’t move to Europe. But we can work to have them deploy compute on European shores. Data centers bring investment, tacit knowledge and some amount of leverage. We should welcome all of those things. The Commission and some national governments have been trying to build data centers themselves. I believe these efforts are flawed—a multilateral institution is not set up to orchestrate the construction of massive infrastructure projects. The Commission’s “AI Gigafactories” are not moving forward, because companies like Siemens and SAP simply do not require that much capacity. But there are entities out there who share some of the values of European nations, and who need more GPUs: American AI companies. Constructing data centers in the United States, where the government threatens use of the Defense Production Act carries a slight risk premium. Building multi-billion compute projects in UAE, a country that gets bombarded with Iranian drones, might also look less attractive. In comparison, Europe is looking better each passing day. Now there’s always the danger of falling into euro-cope. But working to get American companies to build facilities in Europe is far easier, compared to statist compute projects that don’t go anywhere. There’s plenty of obvious work here: make European governments AGI-aware, ease permitting, and shift the Commission from pursuing demand-side to supply-side measures. I lay out more details here: simongrimm.substack.com/p/building-lib…
