🔮 The internet under attack, AGI compression & the next oil shock that never will be... #607
Plus: Join our invite-only salon with Bill Gross
Issue #607 of the newsletter reveals several key topics. The internet is facing attacks, with the piece offering both short and long-term views on its future. Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) timeline is also discussed, with Demis Hassabis, a leading figure in the field, now anticipating AGI to arrive sooner than previously predicted. However, concerns are raised about whether we can promptly test and utilize AI's discoveries.
The newsletter then shifts focus to electric vehicles and energy security. It highlights how electric cars are aiding oil-importing countries in mitigating their exposure to oil disruptions, thus providing a security dividend from the electrification process. Other stories include a Russian satellite's near encounter, a novel process of transforming mercury into gold, and self-destructing plastics.
In addition, the newsletter invites readers to join an exclusive salon with Bill Gross, a technology entrepreneur known for founding Idealab and pioneering paid search. Gross's latest venture, Idealab.ai, utilizes his extensive experience to identify new business opportunities, which are made freely available. The salon will take place on November 5, 8am PT | 11am ET, exclusively for members of Exponential View.
