Eric Schmidt says intelligence is about to decouple from us. “The computers are now doing self-improvement.. They don’t have to listen to us anymore.” Within six years: a mind smarter than the sum of humans -- scaled, recursive, free. We have no language for what’s coming.

Elon Musk says he's now racing to build the thing he once feared. He tried to slow AI down, then realized there were only two choices: watch or participate. If ASI is inevitable, he'd rather help shape one that seeks truth and finds humanity interesting enough to keep around.

Elon Musk says if we, or our machine descendants, reach Kardashev Type II, the economy won't be 10x bigger. It'll be millions of times larger. That's if things don't go awry. If AI doesn't kill us first.

Elon Musk says AI won't just lead to universal basic income -- but universal high income. Tens of billions of humanoid robots could 10× the global economy. They won't just help. They’ll unlock abundance. Everyone gets what they want, if we get it right.

Alexandr Wang says he's waiting to have a kid, until tech like Neuralink is ready. The first 7 years are peak neuroplasticity. Kids born with it will integrate in ways adults never can. AI is accelerating faster than biology. Humans will need to plug in to avoid obsolescence.

Jensen Huang says the NVLink Spine moves more data than the traffic of the entire internet. 130 TB/s, fully meshed across 5,000 coaxial cables. These aren't just GPUs. They're wired for intelligence at internet scale.

Geoffrey Hinton says the more we understand how AI and the brain actually work, the less human thinking looks like logic. We're not reasoning machines, he says. We're analogy machines. We think by resonance, not deduction. “We're much less rational than we thought.”

Eric Schmidt says traditional user interfaces are going to go away. The WIMP model (windows, icons, menus, pull-downs) was built 50 years ago. In the age of agents, UI becomes ephemeral. Generated on demand, shaped by intent, not layout.

Sam Altman says "eventually, the cost of AI will converge to the cost of energy." Robots can build chips, optimize networks, "but an electron is an electron." In the end, intelligence will scale as far as the grid allows.

Terence Tao says today's AIs pass the eye test -- but fail miserably on the smell test. They generate proofs that look flawless. But the mistakes are subtle, and strangely inhuman. “There's a metaphorical mathematical smell.. it's not clear how to get AI to duplicate that.”

Patrick Collison says humanity has never cured a complex disease. Not cancer. Not Alzheimer’s. Not Type 1 diabetes. His Arc Institute is trying something new: Simulate biology with AI. Test interventions before touching the body. Build a virtual cell. Test hypotheses in code.

Peter Thiel says we're fixated on AI because there's just nothing else going on. It's the only thing that feels like movement in a stagnant culture, so we've loaded it with the weight of transcendence. Silicon Valley dreams of successor species, uploads, posthuman futures. But

Jim Fan says NVIDIA trained humanoid robots to walk and move like humans -- zero-shot transfer from simulation to the real world. 10 years of learning, compressed into 2 hours of simulation. Turns out you don’t need a giant model to master motion. “1.5 million parameters, not
