Letter to entrepreneurs as artists
*“Within the vast cultural panorama of each nation, artists have their
unique place. Obedient to their inspiration in creating works both
worthwhile and beautiful, they not only enrich the cultural heritage of
each nation and of all humanity, but they also render an exceptional social
service in favor of the common good.*
*Those who perceive in themselves this kind of divine spark which is the
artistic vocation — as poet, writer, sculptor, architect, musician, actor
[entrepreneur] and so on —feel at the same time the obligation not to waste
this talent but to develop it, in order to put it at the service of their
neighbor and of humanity as a whole.”*
—*Excerpt from Pope John Paul II’s Letter to Arists

Getting
inside Elon’s the head.
‘We want Democracy!’
Well, our year-end prediction that Great Grandpa Joe 'does not make it to
the finish line' came true. Two Rap's back, we also speculated right before
the Big Debate 'that the powers-at-be can see the electroencephalogram
chart on the wall and will be waiting in the shadows, chronicling mental
fumbles and freezes to help shove the Big Guy off the ticket.' The
President was indeed unceremoniously sacked in what some are calling a
'coup,' but we see more as a mad scramble after the bad decision of running
Biden for a second term.

A steep grade to win still sits in front of the Democrats. 97% of
California voters did not support Ms.Kamala's first run for President, even
though that is her home state, and the rest of the country will soon see
why. They also face the challenge of reconciling their campaign messaging
of 'Saving Democracy' while offering up a non-democratically chosen
candidate as their Party's Presidential nominee.
Mr. Biden was certainly strong-armed and replaced with Ms. Kamala by a
politically powerful few with a lot of pressure from a Donor Class
threatening to cut off funds if things didn't go their way. This cloudy
process feels more like a smoke-filled backroom meeting of the CCP's
Politburo Standing Committee
https://substack.com/redirect/bc814993-452f-49f2-ad6d-ea4685aea55c?j=eyJ1Ijo...,
where the Gang of 7 picks the next boss. In their last meet-up, they
essentially anointed Xi for life. 😳

The
seven members of China’s Politburo Standing Committee have everything under
control.
We suppose most Democrats feel it's a big relief to get Great Granpa Joe
off the stage after finally seeing/acknowledging that he was lacking mental
agility and clearly can no longer function, never mind beating the Bogeyman
https://substack.com/redirect/d98d868b-4687-4aa5-b75e-5485fe2db910?j=eyJ1Ijo....
Unfortunately, Ms. Kamala got more bad news in a new YouGov/Times of London
https://substack.com/redirect/fbdcb29d-02e8-428a-9697-dc396563d052?j=eyJ1Ijo...
poll showing that a whopping 92 percent of respondents say that she was, in
part, behind the coverup to hide Biden's failing health, further exposing
the hypocrisy and incompetence of it all.

However, they keep trying to spin it; the irony bells are ringing so loud
that this drama must become a South Park episode. Just as Meeghan and
Prince Harold flew the world in a private jet chanting, 'We want our
privacy!' (see South Park clip above), we can imagine posh scenes of
gatherings, from Malibu to Martha's Vinyard, where members of the Donor
Class
https://substack.com/redirect/8e1b36b3-ac90-4616-90fa-d166ba32e9c9?j=eyJ1Ijo...hoist
their glasses full of the finest varietals to cheer their horses in the
race—Barack, Nancy, Chuck, Hakeem, and Ms. Kamala— while all are chanting
'We want Democracy! We want Democracy!'
https://substack.com/redirect/9dc7fd52-2f9b-45e6-aa9e-a4b501217f50?j=eyJ1Ijo...
This
July 2nd Reuters/Ipsos poll
https://substack.com/redirect/30fd162e-852b-4601-a7af-7e051f8b4872?j=eyJ1Ijo...
showed that only former first lady Michelle Obama could definitively defeat
Trump in the 2024 election.
The next scene shows Pelosi and Schumer playing good cop—bad cop,
browbeating the Commander in Chief to give over the White House keys. Their
leverage is Ms.Kamala has given them the permission to invoke the 25th
Amendment to get their way. Then, over to a shot at a beach club in Bali—on
the other side of the planet—where Michelle Obama and her besties are
cocktailing while she keeps sending Barack's calls to voicemail. 'Mich—You
gotta do it! Don't worry, I promise to run the country—Please call me
back!' (Most polls
https://substack.com/redirect/30fd162e-852b-4601-a7af-7e051f8b4872?j=eyJ1Ijo...show
that Michelle has the best chance to beat Trump and is reportedly most
feared by the Trump campaign).
Dr. Jill would, of course, be ever-present, leading Joe around the Oval
Office talking to her husband like a three-year-old. ‘Ok, Joey, go take a
tinkle. Israel’s Prime Minister is here to see you, so we have to hurry up
now.’
After watching a presidency meltdown in front of us—a candidate nearly
assassinated with an honest spectator killed in the line of fire, the
shadowy sacking and swapping-out of the Democratic Presidential candidate
in a Politburo Standing Committee-style move—all within just 26 days—we are
in desperate need of some good old South Park comic relief. Please, please.

*Wall Street and the Trump go crypto*
The Ethereum ETFs offered by BlackRock, Ark Invest/21Shares, VanEck,
Grayscale, Fidelity, Bitwise, Franklin Templeton, iShares, and Invesco

began trading on July 23, 2024, and brought in $1 billion on the first day.
While the trading volume cooled to under $900 million by the third day,
ETFs are projected to drive demand for Ethereum, absorb 1% of the Ether in
circulation, and haul in $4 billion in new funds by the end of the year.
This event was pivotal because it gives institutional investors easier
access to Ether and further validates its role in the decentralized crypto
economy. Ironically, these moves, plus AI, blockchain, and crypto
innovation, will also accelerate the downsizing of Wall Street and create
an exodus of a legion of disintermediated

attitude during the last election cycle.
Trump Bitcoin 2024 keynote excerpts
*"For too long, our government has violated the cardinal rule that every
bitcoiner knows by heart: Never sell your bitcoin. My administration policy
is for the US to keep 100 percent of all the Bitcoin we currently hold or
acquire into the future as the core of a strategic national Bitcoin
stockpile."*
*"On day one, I will fire Gary Gensler and appoint a new SEC Chairman. The
rules will be written by people who love your industry, not hate your
industry,"*
*"Bitcoin stands for freedom, sovereignty, and independence from government
coercion and control. If elected, we will transform the US into the crypto
capital of the planet and the world's superpower of Bitcoin. If we don't
embrace crypto and Bitcoin technology, China will, other countries will,
and they will dominate." *
*"We will immediately shut down Operation Choke Point 2.0

Trumps new Bitcoin stockpile would have a great start. The US has seized an
estimated 210,000 bitcoins since 2020, worth $15 billion today, making it
one of the world's biggest holders. Trump was also pleased to remind the
audience that he is the first presidential candidate to take cryptocurrency
donations. Since the Trump campaign opened its crypto wallet in May,
it has raised
over $4 million in crypto contributions
https://substack.com/redirect/9107744f-3ec1-4dca-ae07-cd530756dd33?j=eyJ1Ijo...,
and acceptsa variety of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ether,

shift to Trump.

Keep on keepin’ on
We remain highly long-term bullish on BTC, ETH, other quality coins, the
many great ones to come, and the tokenization of all tradable assets. This
transformation will not only create $200 trillion in new wealth but also
dramatically downsize inefficient institutions, return power back to the
people, and create a more private and safe world.

Jordan Peterson’s conversation with Elon Musk part 1

https://substack.com/redirect/84294f3d-f92f-4f7f-a617-47183840aebe?j=eyJ1Ijo...
caught
up with Elon Musk last week at the Tesla Gigafactory in Austin, Texas
https://substack.com/redirect/03ffaa5c-81d8-423d-947e-bb45b736f37b?j=eyJ1Ijo...,
for a deeply insightful chat made slightly chaotic by JP’s hyperactive
behavior. (JP is great, but he is better off being interviewed rather than
being the interviewer—sometimes can’t STFU🤬)
We have published excerpts of our favorite interchanges, and a smattering
of commentary below. Enjoy!
https://substack.com/redirect/09a15576-1633-432e-b77c-d083949db359?j=eyJ1Ijo...
Elon
had just flown in from pulling an all-nighter at his company X.ai
https://substack.com/redirect/d6fa742b-ad9e-4f9a-8095-04848e241aa9?j=eyJ1Ijo...
in
Memphis, where they are building the most powerful AI on the planet.
The AI arms race
*JP:* I use Grok and ChatGPT a lot as research assistants. ChatGPT lies a
lot, so you have to watch out for them, as they can deviate quite a bit.
Why did you call your AI app Grok, and how does it perform compared to
(Google's) Gemini and ChatGPT?
*Elon:* To Grok something is to understand it at a very deep level. X.ai's
stated goal is to understand the nature of the Universe
https://substack.com/redirect/d6fa742b-ad9e-4f9a-8095-04848e241aa9?j=eyJ1Ijo...
and, even more, to understand what questions to ask about it. So I think
that is a good goal.
I do want to emphasize that X.ai is a relatively new company—it has only
been around for a year—so we have a lot of catching up to do. But we are
moving fast—our velocity of improvement is higher than any company out
there. We were able to bring online a massive new training center in
Memphis in only 19 days—from getting hardware installed to beginning
training—that's the fastest set-up ever by any AI company by far.
However, the foundation model of Grok is still an order of magnitude weaker
than GPT. Our newest Grok release is sort of our 1.5 version. Grok 2 just
finished training with 15,000 H100 GPUs (AI chips), and we are hoping to
release it in a month, which will put Grok on par with a GPT 4. The
training we are doing in Memphis is for Grok 3 and should be done in about
three or four months. After bug fixing and fine-tuning, we are hoping for a
December launch, at which point Grok 3 should be the most powerful AI in
the world.
------------------------------
*Editor's Take: The speed of X.ai's time to market shows how AI can and
will exponentially increase the production and transaction velocity of all
companies in the future. As we move into the second half of the year, AI
commercialization is starting to scale. Every category: developer tools and
infrastructure, search, the collaboration and productivity suite, games and
entertainment, the creative suite, and biology—to name just a few—will be
transformed over the next decade by AI innovation. It will do the same for
the individual who stays current with the AI tools impacting the industries
they are passionate about. The three-work week is on the horizon for those
who master the AI tools of their trade.*
https://substack.com/redirect/5e505136-09db-4cde-98e4-ccd47b8a8391?j=eyJ1Ijo...
*Staring into the abyss
https://substack.com/redirect/f3c0655b-37fd-4b1e-bd97-648ab00b2ab8?j=eyJ1Ijo...*
*JP:* So what the hell do you think you're building with these AI systems?
(waving arms)
*Elon:* All AI companies are building digital superintelligence that is far
smarter than any human—and ultimately, superintelligence that is far
smarter than all humans combined. Now, one can ask, 'Is this a wise thing
to do? Is this dangerous?' Unfortunately, whether we think so or not, it is
still being done. So, from my standpoint and that of the X.ai team, it's
better we are participants rather than spectators.
*JP:* That's life, man...
*Elon:* Yes. As participants, we have a better chance of steering AI in a
beneficial direction for humanity.
*JP:* Why do you trust yourself on the front?
*Elon:* Well, I don't trust myself entirely.
*JP:* Good! Fair enough. But you are still confronting an ethical
conundrum.
Elon: Maybe we have a chance of doing it better than others from a moral
standpoint and trying to avoid their pitfalls. From what I've seen, the
others are not striving for truth. I mean, these systems are trained to
give an answer, but they are also trained to be politically correct—the woke
mind virus
https://substack.com/redirect/05e90d09-e256-4f8c-a843-6aa55403b3ea?j=eyJ1Ijo...
is woven throughout. I'm sure you have recognized that.
*JP:* I sure have.
*Elon:* Perhaps I should go back to the foundation of my philosophy because
that will help explain my actions. When I was about 11 or 12 years old, I
had somewhat of an existential crisis—there just didn't seem to be any
meaning in the world or to life. I was a voracious reader as a kid, so I
actually tried to read all the religious texts—the Bible, the Koran, the
Torah, Hindu scriptures. At 12, I didn't understand these things super well.
*JP:* Well, you understood enough to have an existential crisis at 12, and
that's a start.
*Elon:* Then I dug into the philosophy books and read quite a bit of
Schopenhauer and Nietzsche—which was quite depressing to read as a kid—not
so much so as an adult. And nothing really gave me the answers that
resonated with me. Then I read Douglas Adams's *The Hitchhiker's Guide to
the Galaxy
https://substack.com/redirect/f6e3a28e-1727-4370-9271-6eac70d3d20d?j=eyJ1Ijo...*,
which is really philosophy disguised as humor. The point Adams was trying
to make is that we do not know all the answers obviously—in fact, we don't
even know the right questions to ask. So the book is about this giant
computer that was built to answer the question, 'What is the meaning of
life? And it comes up with the answer 42. (laughs) So what does that mean?
It was then that I understood it would take a computer far more powerful
than us just to know the right questions to ask. So, that was my
fundamental turning point.

*"He who fights with monsters should see to it that in the process he does
not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss
will gaze back into you."*
*—Friedrich Nietzsche, from his book Beyond Good and Evil (1886)

*JP:* Ok, so it seems to me that you are intimating that your discovery
through Adams that 'the question is the thing' was the key to the
resolution of your existential crisis, and that's part of the reason you
are motivated to build Grok 3 and look deeper.
*Elon:* That's correct. So we can understand the Universe.
*JP:* How old were you by then, and what did that discovery make you do?
*Elon:* Maybe I was 15, and I was a lot happier after that because I
decided to accept that we are ignorant about a great many things, and
anything we can do to deepen our understanding of the Universe, learn the
right questions to ask about the Universe, and become less ignorant is
good. And I think that was Adam's central point.
*JP:* And that was good enough to soothe your craving?
*Elon:* It was for me, at least. Is this a 'religion'? I don't know, maybe
it is. But I think it's a good one. I call it the Religion of Curiosity.
It's the religion of enlightenment. And what falls out of that is the
expansion of consciousness in scale and scope. So, not only is there more
consciousness but also varied consciousness, so people don’t all end up
thinking the same. I think it is probably good to have multiple religions
that provide different perspectives on things. From there, we need to take
a set of actions that increase the probability that the future will be good
for humanity.

Sam
Harris's identification as a cultural Christian highlights a growing trend
among secular thought leaders who value the cultural and ethical dimensions
of Christianity without adhering to its religious beliefs.
*JP:* Did you see where Sam Harris (best known as one of the ‘*Four
Horsemen

alongside Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and Daniel Dennett) now
describes himself as a cultural Christian?
*Elon:* Yes. I do believe Jesus' teachings are good and wise, and there is
tremendous wisdom in turning the other cheek. For a while, I thought it was
a weak thing to do. But the notion of forgiveness is important and
essential. If you do not forgive—as someone said— ‘An eye for an eye makes
everyone blind’—you have this endless cycle of vengeance. So, I am actually
a big believer in the principles of Christianity—I think they are very
good. So, I am probably a cultural Christian. I was baptized and brought an
Anglican, and simultaneously went to a Jewish nursery school (laughs). I am
in favor of the principles that will result in the greatest happiness and
contentment for humanity, not just for today but also for future humans.

go on to do great things. *

*JP: *So you were involved with the project now called OpenAI, which Sam
Altman runs?
*Elon:* Yes, the company was my idea. I was one of the primary founders and
named it. The reason OpenAI exists at all is because I used to be really
close friends with (Google cofounder) Larry Page. I used to stay at his
house in Palo Alto all the time because I was splitting my time between
living in LA running Space X and Silicon Valley running Tesla, and I didn’t
own a home in the Bay Area for over a decade.
We would have these long conversations into the middle of the night about
AI safety, and I became increasingly concerned that Larry was not
sufficiently worried about AI safety. If you have some radical new
technology, you want to set standards that maximize the probability it will
do good and minimize the likelihood it will do bad things. You can't just
barrel forward and hope for the best. And at one point, he called me a
speciesist. (eyes raise). There were witnesses there.
*JP: *Yes! You are one!
*Elon*: Yes. I am correctly labeled because I favor humans relative to
digital intelligence. Larry just seemed more focused on achieving digital
superintelligence—essentially a Digital God as soon as possible. Larry's
view (chuckling), if I am not misspeaking, is that we will all ultimately
upload our minds to the computer, and everyone will be robots, and there
will be no need for humans. And I said that we needed to ensure that
humanity thrives and grows—that’s when he called me a speciesist. I told
him I guess I am pro-human, and asked 'What are you?' (chuckles)
