Scaling AI and Getting More Efficient

Kaplan/Chinchilla scaling laws provide a broad description of the resources needed to improve AI. The measured relationship is that loss falls as a power law in compute: L ≈ L∞ + A·C^(-α), with α somewhere around 0.05–0.07 for language models. Each halving of excess loss costs roughly 10–1000x more compute depending on the exponent. Converting …

SpaceX AI Catalysts

Here are my SpaceX AI related events / Milestones and Catalysts. I think the key milestones for major revenue impact other than Starship proving full reusability and deploying V3 satellites are the AI achievements. I think the AI monetization is more impactful in 2026 and 2027. If Cursor Composer and Grok 5.X are the top …
