Right now uh a single graduate student is actually steering a virtual fruit fly around in minecraft
Using a perfect digital map of a real biological brain
Yeah
It's wild
We are hitthe absolute physical limits of our planet hardware are or run these things and the solutions are getting pretty extreme completely and to power simulations
Like that tech companies are literally draining real world power rids to the point of collapse
不的 我不对
Welcome to your custom taylor deep dive
We are looking at the sepmber twenty seven seven twenty twenty six issue of the sundundblenender newleletter right
And there is a lot to cover in there today
No totally we are skipping the baby octopupuses fighting crabs skipping the chinese swimming records
And we are zero wing in on this massive recorsion
Like how humanity is digitizing reality maxing out our massical recources
And then basically scrambling off world define more okay
Let's imppact this
We just got the first ever complete map of a fruit fly brain right
So we 're talking about one hundred and sixty six thousand nerve cells and uh a hundred and twenty five million connections and the crazy part is it's not just a static picture
You know someone literally plug that exact wiring diagram into a video game
To make a virtual fly actually move to whaa ccinating
Here is that
This map is purely structural
It focuses entirely on the electrical pathways
So it completely lacks the chemical reactions of a
You know a living lation
Uh got it
So it's like a simulation
Exactly think of it like mapping ly strule road in traffic city
In a massive city
But you just remove all the drivers
Oh
That makes a lot of sense
Right you can perfectly simulate or traffic should flow
Which is exactly how they got that minecraft fly to respond to stimulations
We are finally translating biology into per data
And that mapping concept is kind of jumping scales
So i mean look at that recent californiheatwave
Oh Yeah
A virtual power erlayeah software didijust just limointo ergy usage it actually hijaca hundred
Hundred forty
Forty thousand individual home atteries es mostly tessle power walls
Right right
And rather than just a map
That was a synchronized physical takeover
Which sounds terrifying
But also kind of brilliant really is by using software to trigger the inverting on on all those decentralized batteries on all exexact same millesecond
They tricked the power grid into seeing one mass of five hundred and eighty megwat generating station
Wow
So it seeamlessly kept the lights on for millions of people
Exactly it functionentirely as a virtual power plan
Well
Here's where it gets really interesting
Because thinking thousthousands of atteries or or simulating millions ons of neurons
That requires an unbelievable amount computational hardware ambasassive amount
Yein i'm struggling to square
This we're building these incredible digital networks to make our world more efficient
Right yet oracle just invoked force ed asure ure dedelay an ai data center new mexico
Which is illegal clause usually reserve for things like wars or earthquakes
Exactly
And they use it simply
Because they are entirely out of power
Like they could get a gas pipeline approved aren't just kind of cannbilizing our physical world to build a digital one
If we connect this to the bigger picture
You are hitting on the central paradox of our time right i mean ai data centors now account for half of all us electricity demand growth half that is just stagging the physical tool is immense
But you know the trade office at this energy hungry ai is shattering boundaries that human simply cannot like wedthroropics clologist in exactly clodges cracked a two hundred and seventy digit encryption number rsa eight nine six
And it did it in a mere ten days
We'd how i mean
I thought encyption that complex was physically impossible to break
Well it relies on prime factorization okay
Multipplying two massive prime numbers together is basically instantaneous for a computer
But doing the reverse
You know taking that huge resulting number and figuring out
Which two primes created it right going backwards
Yeah
Mathematically it's like trying to unbaga cake
Unbaaga cake i love that
But claw essentially built a new algorithm split the task across two thousand and forty eight chips
And just found a way to parallel process
And unbaked that cryptographic cake in record time okay
So we are literally burning through our local power grades just to unbake digital cakes and run a eyebrains pretty much
Yeah
It makes total sense
Then that the news leaderships over to nasses hyper aggressive space road map
Right the earth is tapped out
We have to look up
Because jerred issigmman laid out plans for a moon basase by twenty
Twenty eight yes and complete with lie video fees too yeah
And the hardware they are testing to get us
There is just staggering i mean artimsts three is going to test spacex and blue origin llders in twenty twenty seven and bluright around a corner
It is
And then by twenty twenty nine
They are launching the sr one freedom
It they ah a nuclear powered spacecraft
And it's designed to drop radar equit helicopters on mars
Nuclear powered helicopters on mars
Just incredible
It's that ty ordible year they are sending another nuclear powered eight rotor drone called dragon fly all the way to saturns moon tighten
Wow
But this raises an important question
Which is
Is this massive off world infrastructure actually going to beam resources back to your local grid
Or we just exporting our inseasiable energy addiction to the rest of the solar system
That is the big question
So what does this all mean
嗯
We are translating organic life into video game code
Yep
We're tricking our power grids with synchrized home batteries just to feed these giant ai data centres and flying nuclear drones at veattern
So because earth just isn't big enough for our digital ambitions
Anymore we are essentially turning the physical world into a limitless digital playground
But we're quickly discovering that playground has a very very real electric bill
It really does which brings us to one final thouought from the sources for you to do on today
Today because the bank account math yes
So the bank account 没有right now is likely protected by a six hundred and seventeen digit rsa encryption code
Right the current standard in mathematicians say
I'm baking that prime number cake would take thirteen point eight
Illion years years
Which litliterally longer than the age of the universe
Exactly
But as you sit watchcha i shattccyyptographic walls and humanity launch
Nuclear spacerones
You really have to ask yourself
Which is until that impossible timeline collapses too
