Sci-fi predictions I want on the record for the 2030s:
1. The first real off-world civilization node is not a Mars city. It’s orbital power + compute. People follow the watts, not the flag.
2. The main political split is not left vs right. It’s one global administrative layer vs an ecosystem of states, city-states, and charter jurisdictions that compete on power, law, and talent.
3. A woolly-mammoth proxy is born: a cold-adapted elephant with the core traits, not a perfect Pleistocene clone. The fight afterward is habitat and ownership, not CRISPR.
4. Health gets radically better for the rich

Which prehistoric animal Colossal Biosciences should de-extinct next?

AI agents will eliminate nearly all market inefficiency...
We need AI to help the government to eliminate government inefficiencies.... one of the most promising yet complex frontiers for technology.

What is the most important things that happens right now in the world and how can readers help?

China builds 100 MW data centers in 12 months.
The West holds hearings about whether they should exist.
That’s how you lose the century.

What's new and exciting today?

Financial centers:
NYC -> Miami
London -> Dubai
Tokyo -> Singapore

Do you think nation states, a 17th century institution, will survive if we'll reach Super Intelligence?

Google is testing AI chips in orbit because Earth’s grid is the constraint.
Alibaba just said the quiet part out loud: 10-trillion-parameter models and 20 gigawatts of compute.
While the West is still arguing whether data centers should exist. China is building the power plants.
The civilization that makes energy cheap and abundant first will write the next century.
Canada has the fuel. We are choosing to lecture.

One of the risks of Western civilization AI race right, is the dependency on ASML and TSCM.
The functions of these two companies should be duplicated elsewhere for redundancy and resiliency.

GM. What's new and exciting?
