    The XR Blueprint: Where we are headed

    I’ve posted fairly extensively before about the rough equivalency of our modern iPhones vs. the worlds fastest supercomputers in Y2K. That in itself is amazing. There are several key trends at work that make that possible: Moore’s Law the eternal(?) Truth of Tech — that every 18 months, processor power doubles. AI Designs Silicon In…

    the AI Chip Race : nVidia vs. the World in Silicon Warfare 2024

    All the news, and all the stock market, seems to celebrate nVidia these days, with their apparent stranglehold on the global AI chip race market. Their domination, and the unprecedented demand for their fastest chips (currently the H100, as of 2024), has been the major factor that has propelled them into position as the most…

    Sam Altmans outrageous 7 Trillion AI Bet: For what?!? From who?

    On Feb 8, 2024 the Wall Street Journal broke the news that our favorite AI wunderkind, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, was making the global rounds again (primarily to China and Arab States this time… interesting), this time trying to raise an alleged $7 trillion. (that’s 7,000 billion, or seven million million dollars!) So what in…

    AI Trends 2024 : Gregory’s Annual Crystal Ball AI Predictions

    Well, its January again. 2023 was a banner year — perhaps the year — that will be remembered as the first time that actual human-level AI was released “into the wild” and got onto the radar of the vox populi. Now that our AI timeline is completely wrecked, its time to take stock, and predict what…

    Roberts Five Laws of Robotics 2024

    If you haven’t seen the writing on the wall — like this shiny Optimus robot model that is showing up in Tesla showrooms around the world — AI-driven humanoid robots are coming. And they’re going to need some prime directives. In tribute to Asimov, lets call them the Five Laws of Robotics. Musk states that…

    iPhone Killer: The Next Platform: an “AI-first” device, with an AI App Store 2024

    It’s now been 15 years since Apple changed the world with the introduction of the iPhone, and while its chiclet app grid certainly served me well for the better part of the first decade, it is a UX whose time has passed. Which has us (and everyone else in the valley) asking: “From where cometh…

    AI forecast 2030: Hypercapitalism, AutoCorps & the shocking Future of Humanity

    We’ve now had an entire year for the mainstream populace to play with and grasp the consequences of a superintelligent AGI — namely, ChatGPT (and its siblings, children, and distant cousins). Now, it’s time to look at our AI forecast, and what that bodes for us and our civilization. For ease of digestion, I’ve broken…

    What is an Accelerationista? Audacity of the Phoenix Civilization c.2028

    As a young adult, I developed several theories about how I would move through the world. One, which I describe below, I called “Gas Pedal.” I did not realise at the time that it would align quite well with the societal plan of the Accelerationista. This is a serious and powerful school of thought that…

    10 Trillion Dollars (USD): What happens when the Accelerationistas Win

    I recently returned from the first annual(?) TED/AI Conference, and one particular presenter, Cathy Wood of ARK Investments, exploded my brain and ushered me into new ways of thinking. The reason? Quite simply, her casual (and authoritative!) tone as she talked about emerging industries which were expected to be measured in numbers well north of…

    Spirit of the Warrior : All that is Required [Tsunami Dream]

    I had a dream… .    . . . . . . . …a Tsunami Dream. In this dream, the Tsunami was coming. We didn’t know when, and we didn’t know how, but we knew. We knew it was inevitable, and imminent. But from our vantage point, even though it was high above the land,…
