Peter DiamandisWelcome to Moonshots. Following is a wide-ranging conversation with Elon Musk focused on optimism and the coming age of abundance. My moonshot mate, Dave Blundin and I flew into Austin, Texas to meet up with Elon at his 11.5 million square foot gigafactory, home of the Cybertruck and Model Y production and the future home for 8 million square feet of Optimus production.欢迎收看 Moonshots。接下来是与 Elon Musk 的一场广泛对话，聚焦于乐观主义与即将到来的丰盛时代。我的 moonshot 搭档 Dave Blundin 和我飞到德克萨斯州奥斯汀，在 Elon 的 1150 万平方英尺 gigafactory 与他会面——这里是 Cybertruck 和 Model Y 的生产基地，也是未来 800 万平方英尺 Optimus 产线的所在地。
Peter DiamandisElon has agreed to do this kind of a deep dive, catch up once per year. This is hopefully the first of many. And after having this conversation with Elon, it’s crystal clear to me that we are living through the singularity. All right, enjoy.Elon 同意每年做一次这样的深度对话。这是希望长期延续的第一期。和 Elon 谈完之后，我越来越清晰地感受到：我们正活在奇点之中。好了，尽情享用吧。
Elon MuskYour relentless optimism is always a breath of fresh air.你那种锲而不舍的乐观，总是让人如沐春风。
Peter DiamandisThank you, buddy.谢谢你，老伙计。
Elon MuskThank you.谢谢。
Peter DiamandisWell, I want to share that tonight with a lot of people.好的，今晚我想把这些分享给更多人。
Elon MuskYeah, I think they need it. I hope you’re right. And you might be right. Actually, I’m increasingly thinking that you are right. Thank you.是的，我觉得大家需要这些。希望你是对的。其实你很可能是对的。我越来越觉得你说得没错。谢谢。
Peter DiamandisAbundance for all. Yeah, that’s the goal. Shall we?让丰盛惠及所有人。对，这就是目标。我们开始吧？
Elon MuskYeah.好。
Peter DiamandisAll right.好的。
Elon MuskRight now, putting a lot of time into chips.现在，我投入了大量时间在芯片上。
Peter DiamandisYou are to be our personal—你就是我们个人的——
Elon MuskYeah, it’s always interesting.对，总是很有意思。
Dave BlundinAI assistance, I assume.AI 助手，我猜。
Peter DiamandisWhat’s that?什么？
Dave BlundinWith some AI assistance, I assume. Design not enough.有 AI 协助吧，我猜。光靠设计不够。
Elon MuskIt’d be nice if we could just hand it off to the AI. Yeah, soon enough.要是能直接把这些甩给 AI 就好了。对，快了。
Dave BlundinI tried to do some circuit design actually with AI recently, just a couple weeks ago. Not happening yet.我前几周刚尝试用 AI 做电路设计，就几个星期前的事。还不行。
Elon MuskVery soon, though.很快就可以了。
Dave BlundinYeah.是的。
Elon MuskI think probably at this point, Grok, if you took a photo and submitted to Grok, it could probably tell you if a circuit is—if there’s something wrong with it. Yeah.我觉得现在这个阶段，Grok，如果你拍张照片上传给 Grok，它大概能告诉你电路有没有问题。对，应该能。
Dave BlundinAll right, I’m going to give it a shot. You’re using the same Grok that I’m using, are you? Or you are?好，我要试试。你用的 Grok 和我用的是同一个版本吗？还是不一样？
Elon MuskGrok keeps updating.Grok 一直在更新。
Dave BlundinSo 4.2. But 5 is soon, right?现在是 4.2。5 快出了吧？
Elon Musk5 is Q1.5 是 Q1。
Dave BlundinYeah.好。
Elon Musk4.2 has not been released yet externally, but yeah, I mean, if you just upload an image into Grok, it does quite a good job of analyzing any given image.4.2 还没对外发布，但如果你直接把图片上传到 Grok，它对任意图像的分析能力相当不错。
Dave BlundinAbsolutely. Let’s start. We’re going to talk about this. All right, we’ll come back.完全同意。那我们开始吧，就聊这个。好，回头再说。
Elon MuskLet’s see if I take a picture of you. What is it? See what it—来，让我给你拍张照。看看结果——
Peter DiamandisYeah. What’s it going to say about me?好啊。它会怎么说我？
Dave BlundinYeah, it’s going to say you’re a flawed circuit.它会说你是个有缺陷的电路。
Elon MuskI also have to remember to update it because we update the Grok app so frequently.我还得记得更新，因为我们更新 Grok app 的频率太高了。
Peter DiamandisYou know, I asked Grok to roast me.你知道吗，我让 Grok 吐槽我。
Peter DiamandisIt did an amazing job. Then I asked Grok to roast you. And I spit out my coffee.它做得棒极了。然后我让 Grok 吐槽你，我直接把咖啡喷出来了。
Elon MuskIt was hilarious.太搞笑了。
Peter DiamandisAnd then I asked it, you know—然后我又问它，你知道——
Elon MuskIt said, be more vulgar. It just keeps telling it to be more and more vulgar. I asked until—until it’s like, mother of God.它说，再粗俗一点。我就一直让它越来越粗俗，一直到——简直是，我的天。
Dave BlundinIs Bad Rudy still out or did that get repealed? Bad Rudy’s still there.Bad Rudy 还在吗，还是被取消了？Bad Rudy 还在呢。
Peter DiamandisAnd I ask her, does Elon know what you say about him? And she goes—it’s a she for me—she goes, “What is he going to do about it?”我问它，Elon 知道你怎么评价他吗？它说——对我来说它是女生——它说：「他能把我怎样？」
Elon MuskWhat is he going to do about it? Yeah, let’s see. Okay, so I just literally took a photo of you and tell you what it is.「他能把我怎样？」哈。好，我就刚刚给你拍了张照，看看结果是什么。
Peter DiamandisDid you ask a question?你问了什么问题吗？
Elon MuskNo, nothing. I didn’t say anything.没有，什么都没说。
Peter DiamandisThis man is hugely—这个人非常——
Elon MuskThis is Peter Diamandis.这是 Peter Diamandis。
Peter DiamandisYes.对。
Elon MuskOkay, that’s pretty good.还行，挺准的。
Peter DiamandisYeah, that’s great.对，很厉害。
Elon MuskContext whatsoever.完全没有上下文。
Peter DiamandisThe host of the podcast Moonshots. Yeah, sometimes that way.Moonshots 播客的主持人。对，有时候就是这样。
Dave BlundinThat’s your first credential. Now, that’s noteworthy.这是你的第一张名片。这值得关注啊。
Peter DiamandisForget about everything.什么都不用管了。
Dave BlundinComes back to your podcast.回到你播客上了。
Elon MuskThat was a no context image. Yeah.那是在没有任何上下文的情况下识别的图片。对。
Peter DiamandisBy the way, Grokopedia is awesome.对了，Grokopedia 真的很棒。
Elon MuskOkay, great.好的，很高兴听到。
Peter DiamandisI mean, just phenomenal.真的，太厉害了。
Elon MuskI mean, just—就是——
Peter DiamandisIt’s like I tried to update my Wikipedia page for years, impossibly. And yeah, it knows me. Amazing.就像我试了好几年想更新我的 Wikipedia 页面，根本搞不定。但 Grok 了解我，太神了。
Dave BlundinYeah.是的。
Peter DiamandisHe’s wearing a black quilted jacket featuring a Sundance logo. Not quite true. It’s my Abundance logo.它说他穿了一件带 Sundance logo 的黑色绗缝夹克。不太准确，这是我的 Abundance logo。
Elon MuskA little wrinkled on the clothing.衣服有点皱。
Dave BlundinYeah.对。
Elon MuskCan it see it?它能看出来吗？
Peter DiamandisI think so.我觉得能。
Elon MuskOkay.好。
Peter DiamandisOkay.好。
Elon MuskAnyway, yeah, but it basically, it’s pretty damn good. Yeah. He’s smiling and relaxed with a laptop in front of him.不管怎样，它确实表现相当不错。对，「他面带微笑、神情放松，面前放着一台笔记本电脑。」
Peter DiamandisThat’s true.确实如此。
Dave BlundinThat’s true.没错。
Elon MuskYeah.是的。
Dave BlundinWell, it’s quite a circuit, though. Got to test it on the circuit.不过这个电路还是挺复杂的，得在电路上测试一下。
Elon MuskRoast him.让它吐槽他。
Peter DiamandisIt has to be read by you, though.但得由你来读才行。
Elon MuskI mean, I won’t read the whole thing, but—我不会全读，但——
Peter DiamandisGive me a taste. I can take it.给我点感受。我扛得住。
Elon MuskOkay. “Check out that grin, dude. Smiling like you just discovered a new way to monetize hope.” Monetizing hope. Oh, yes.好。「看看那个咧嘴笑，老兄，笑得就像刚发现了一种把希望变现的新方式。」把希望变现。哦，太对了。
Peter DiamandisI want to try and answer the question, can AI and tech help save America in the world?我想尝试回答一个问题：AI 和科技能帮助拯救美国和世界吗？
Elon MuskRight.对。
Peter DiamandisI want to give people listening a dose of optimism. There’s a survey done in mid-December by Pew that said 45% of Americans would rather live in the past and only 14% said they’d rather live in the future. Which is insane to me.我想给听众注入一剂乐观。12 月中旬 Pew 做了一项调查，说 45% 的美国人宁愿活在过去，只有 14% 说宁愿活在未来。这对我来说简直是不可思议。
Elon MuskRight.确实。
Peter DiamandisObviously they never read history. The challenge is most Americans, all they have of the future—it’s like Hollywood has shown us killer AIs and rogue robots. Right. And people are worried about their jobs, they’re worried about health care, they’re worried about the cost of living.显然他们从没读过历史。问题是大多数美国人对未来的全部印象——好像是好莱坞给他们展示了杀手 AI 和失控机器人。对。而且人们担心工作，担心医疗，担心生活成本。
Peter DiamandisThe challenge is how do we help people? I mean, you posted, you pinned on X: “The future is going to be amazing with AI and robots enabling sustainable abundance.”问题是我们怎么帮助大家？我的意思是，你在 X 上置顶了一条：「AI 与机器人将开启可持续丰盛的未来，这个未来会无比美好。」
Elon MuskI was thinking of you when I did that.我发那条的时候就是在想你。
Peter DiamandisThank you. I appreciate that.谢谢，我很感激。
Dave BlundinYeah, yeah. And—是的，是的，而且——
Peter DiamandisAnd, well, I mean, because—嗯，我的意思是，因为——
Elon MuskWhat would Peter Diamandis say? Yeah, and that’s channeling you.Peter Diamandis 会说什么？对，那就是在向你致敬。
Peter DiamandisThank you. Thank you. I couldn’t agree more either. So my question is from a first principle standpoint, right. The rationale for optimism, you know, how do we head towards Star Trek and not Terminator?谢谢，谢谢。我完全赞同。所以我的问题是，从第一性原理的角度出发，乐观主义的逻辑基础是什么？我们怎么走向 Star Trek 而不是 Terminator？
Dave BlundinRight.对。
Peter DiamandisHow do we—我们怎么——
Elon MuskHow do we head towards Roddenberry, not Cameron?我们怎么走向 Roddenberry，而不是 Cameron？
Peter DiamandisYeah.是的。
Elon MuskJim, it’s a diverging path meme.就是那个岔路口 meme。
Peter DiamandisYes, it is.没错。
Dave BlundinIt is.是的。
Peter DiamandisAvatar has some hopeful parts, but anyway, how do we go towards universal high income instead of social unrest? So my—Avatar 还有些充满希望的部分，但不管怎样，我们怎么走向全民高收入而不是社会动乱？所以我的——
Peter DiamandisUniversal High Income and Social Unrest全民高收入与社会动乱
Peter DiamandisOh, that will make for a lot of problems.那会带来很多问题。
Dave BlundinIs that your actual prediction? Yeah, yeah, it seems likely. I don’t have to push back on it.这是你真实的预测吗？对，好像确实如此，我不打算反驳。
Elon MuskExactly.正是。
Dave BlundinBut it seems like that’s the trend.但这看起来确实是趋势。
Elon MuskYeah, yeah, totally.对，完全是。
Dave BlundinNo, we have—不，我们——
Elon MuskWell, because there’s going to be so much change, people are going to be scared shitless.因为变化会如此巨大，人们会被吓得屁滚尿流。
Dave BlundinYeah, yeah.是的，没错。
Elon MuskIt’s sort of the, you know, it’s like, be careful what you wish for, because you might get it.这有点像——小心许愿，因为你可能真的如愿以偿。
Peter DiamandisYeah.是的。
Elon MuskNow if you actually get all the stuff you want, is that actually the future you want?如果你真的得到了所有你想要的东西，那真的是你想要的未来吗？
Peter DiamandisYeah.是的。
Elon MuskBecause it means that your job won’t be—因为那意味着你的工作将不会——
Peter DiamandisWon’t matter if you’re living an unchallenged life.如果你过着毫无挑战的生活，工作还有什么意义。
Elon MuskYes. Right.没错，就是这样。
Peter DiamandisWith no challenges. No. You know, if you become a couch potato, if it’s a WALL-E future, it does not go well for humans.没有任何挑战。没有。你知道，如果你变成了沙发土豆，如果是 WALL-E 那样的未来，对人类来说结局不会好。
Elon MuskWell—嗯——
Dave BlundinAnd we’re used to being told, here’s your challenge. So people haven’t historically been very good at creating their own challenge in the absence.而且我们习惯了被告知：这是你的挑战。所以历史上，在没有外部挑战的情况下，人们一直不太善于自己创造挑战。
Peter DiamandisI think Elon does a damn good job. Every time one company takes off, you start your next.我觉得 Elon 做得相当不错。每次一家公司腾飞，你就开始搞下一家。
Elon MuskThat’s rare for punishment.这是自找苦吃。
Peter DiamandisI think you are.我觉得你就是这样。
Elon MuskYeah.是的。
Peter DiamandisI think you ever thank God for that.我觉得你永远要感谢这一点。
Elon MuskSo why do I do this to myself?所以，为什么我要这样折磨自己？
Dave BlundinActually, after AI and robots, is there another thing after that? I guess there’s—AI 和机器人之后，后面还有什么东西？我猜还有——
Peter DiamandisWell, there’s always space conquering, you know, the universe.还有征服宇宙嘛，你懂的。
Dave BlundinYeah, there is.对，没错。
Elon MuskThat rocks really well. And energy rocks.太空方向很厉害。能源也很厉害。
Peter DiamandisAre your friends conquering—你的朋友们在征服——
Elon MuskSo good need to get there.所以需要到达那里才行。
Peter DiamandisWhy, Elon? Why are you so optimistic? Are you optimistic? Let’s start there.为什么，Elon？你为什么这么乐观？你乐观吗？先从这里说起。
Elon MuskI’m not as optimistic as you are. Okay, but—but why are you optimistic? I’m more optimistic than most people.我没你那么乐观。好吧，但——你为什么乐观？我比大多数人乐观。
Peter DiamandisOkay.好的。
Dave BlundinAnd is the trend upward compared to a year ago, two years ago?而且这个趋势和一年前、两年前相比是向上的吗？
Elon MuskWell, I think if you reframe things in terms of progress bar, like speaking of challenges. Progress towards a Kardashev 2 scale civilization.嗯，我觉得如果你换一种框架来看待事物，用进度条来衡量——说到挑战。向 Kardashev 2 级文明迈进的进度。
Peter DiamandisSure.说得有道理。
Elon MuskWell, let’s say the aspiration capturing all—就说目标是捕获所有——
Peter DiamandisThe energy from the sun’s output.捕获太阳输出的全部能量。
Elon MuskWell, let’s even have a humbler aspiration than that. If we say that our goal is to even get a millionth of the sun’s energy, that would be more than a thousand times as much energy as could possibly be produced on Earth.好，我们甚至可以设定一个更谦逊的目标。如果我们说，目标是获取太阳能量的百万分之一，那也已经超过地球上所有可能产生的能量的一千倍了。
Elon MuskSo about a half a billionth of the sun’s energy reaches Earth. So you’d have to go up three orders of magnitude from that just to get to a millionth. So we’re very, very, very far from even having a billionth of the sun’s energy harnessed in any way.到达地球的太阳能大约是太阳总输出的二十亿分之一。所以要达到百万分之一，还需要在现有基础上提高三个数量级。我们离利用哪怕十亿分之一的太阳能都还差得非常非常非常远。
Elon MuskSo a reasonable goal would be try to get to a millionth. And if you try to get to a millionth or a thousandth, 0.1%—that’s such an enormous—there’s not sure what metaphor we would use here because a hill to climb is not a big enough metaphor. But gravity well to escape and hello, gravity well. Exactly.所以一个合理的目标是争取达到百万分之一。如果你要达到百万分之一甚至千分之一，0.1%——那是如此巨大——我不确定该用什么比喻，因为「一座山要爬」这个比喻还不够大。应该是「一个引力井要逃脱」，引力井，对，正是。
Elon MuskSo if you try to get to a millionth of the sun’s energy or a thousandth of sun’s energy—like now, these are very, very difficult.所以如果你要达到太阳能量的百万分之一或千分之一——现在，这些目标都极其困难。
Peter DiamandisTasks and energy is the inner loop for everything right now.任务艰巨，而能源现在是一切的核心循环。
Elon MuskYeah. I think the future currency will essentially just be wattage.是的。我认为未来的货币本质上就是瓦特。
Peter DiamandisI was thinking, is it the ability of a person to control energy and compute or just energy? I mean, the two translate obviously.我在想，是一个人控制能源和算力的能力，还是单纯的能源？我的意思是，两者显然是可以相互转换的。
Elon MuskJust like honest energy. Yeah, like so—or like basically how much power is being turned into work of some kind. Right. Intelligence or matter manipulation.就是纯粹的能量。对，就是——基本上就是有多少功率在被转化为某种形式的功。对。无论是智能还是物质操控。
Peter DiamandisSo that’s your next big project is going to be energy. It’s going to be—you’re going to go back to solar, your solar system.所以你下一个大项目会是能源。你要回到太阳能，回到你的太阳能系统。
Elon MuskYou can expand from there and say, okay, what about even getting somewhere on a Kardashev 3 scale, meaning galaxy level.你可以从那里进一步扩展，说好，那 Kardashev 3 级呢，也就是银河系级别的。
Peter DiamandisNow we’re talking. Now we’re back to Star Trek.这才叫大格局。回到 Star Trek 了。
Elon MuskYeah, expand horizons here.对，拓展视野。
Peter DiamandisYes.是的。
Elon MuskWell, there isn’t even a horizon because you’re not on our planet.甚至没有地平线，因为你已经不在我们的星球上了。
Peter DiamandisSo we talk about—所以我们谈到——
Elon MuskSo we’ve seen galaxy, mind.我们看到了星系，心智。
Peter DiamandisYeah, well, listen, we’re in 11.5 million square foot, three pentagons right here in this building. You think in a reasonably large scale.没错，你看，我们就在这栋楼里，1150 万平方英尺，相当于三个五角大楼。你的思维格局确实够大。
Elon MuskWhat is magnitude?规模是什么概念？
Peter DiamandisYeah.是的。
Elon MuskSo, I mean, from a challenge standpoint, I guess the civilizational challenge will be how do you climb the orders of magnitude in energy harnessed.所以，从挑战的角度来说，我猜文明级别的挑战就是：如何在已利用能量上爬升数量级。
Elon MuskThe Path to Radical Abundance走向根本性丰盛之路
Peter DiamandisBut we’re going back to—why are you optimistic right now? I mean, when people think about the challenges ahead, I think we’re going to end up with abundance in the long run.但我们回到——你现在为什么乐观？我的意思是，当人们想到前方的挑战，我觉得从长远来看我们会走向丰盛。
Elon MuskIt’s beyond—beyond abundance in any—beyond what people possibly could think of as abundance. Like the AI, actually. AI and robots. The limit will saturate all human desire.不只是丰盛——超越任何——超越人们所能想象的丰盛。就像 AI，真的。AI 与机器人。那个极限将满足人类所有的欲望。
Peter DiamandisAnd then we get to nanotechnology, which takes it even a step further.然后我们进入纳米技术，那会把一切再推进一步。
Elon MuskThe thing about the—well, I’m not sure what you mean by—you mean like little nanobots?关于这个——嗯，我不确定你说的是什么意思——你是说那种小纳米机器人？
Peter DiamandisAtomic reassembly.原子级重组。
Dave BlundinYeah.对。
Elon MuskOh, yeah, yeah, sure, sure. I mean, we’re already doing atomic level assembly for circuits, you know.哦，对，对，当然。我的意思是，我们在芯片制造上已经在做原子级组装了，你知道的。
Peter DiamandisAmazing. Two, three nanometers.太惊人了。两、三纳米。
Dave BlundinYeah.是的。
Elon MuskIt’s only depending on how they’re arrayed. Four or five silicon atoms per nanometer. Yeah. So those are big atoms, though. They’re biggish.取决于排列方式，每纳米大约四到五个硅原子。对。不过这些原子比较大，算是大个子了。
Dave BlundinYeah, they’re not your little—对，不是那种小——
Elon MuskI mean, I’m saying they should actually describe the circuits in terms of an integer number of atoms in a specific place.我的意思是，他们应该用实际的整数原子数和特定位置来描述电路，而不是什么纳米数。
Dave BlundinThey should. It’s all angstroms now.确实应该。现在都是以埃为单位了。
Elon MuskIt’s just an integer. It’s like—we’ll call this the seven atom. Yeah, whatever. Yeah, like you say two nanometers, it’s—就是个整数而已。就像——我们叫它七原子工艺。对，随便。对，你说 2 纳米，其实——
Peter DiamandisLike no one knows.没人知道真正是什么意思。
Elon MuskNine silicon atoms, something like that. They’ve got silicon and copper and you know, so. But a bunch of these things are just marketing numbers. Like the 2 nanometer is just a marketing number. Oh yeah. But you still need essentially close to atomic level precision. Like the atoms really, you need to be in the right spot.九个硅原子，大概是这样。里面有硅有铜，你知道。所以很多这些数字都只是营销数字。比如 2 纳米就只是个营销数字。哦对。但你仍然需要接近原子级的精度。原子真的必须在正确的位置。
Elon MuskSo I think they’re getting clean rooms wrong by the way, in these modern fabs. I’m going to make a bet here.所以我认为现代晶圆厂在洁净室方面做错了，顺便说一下。我在这里下个注。
Peter DiamandisOkay.好的。
Dave BlundinOkay.好的。
Elon MuskThat Tesla will have a 2 nanometer fab and I can eat a cheeseburger and smoke a cigar in the fab.Tesla 将会有一个 2 纳米晶圆厂，而且我可以在厂里吃汉堡、抽雪茄。
Peter DiamandisThe air handling would be that good.那空气处理系统得有多好才行。
Dave BlundinDo you have this sketched out in your mind? How are the atoms being placed? That they’re immune to cheeseburger grease.你心里有这个方案了吗？原子是怎么放置的？能免疫汉堡油脂。
Elon MuskThey just maintain wafer isolation the entire time, which is actually the default for fabs. The wafers are transported in boxes of pure nitrogen gas under a slight positive—就是始终保持晶圆隔离，这实际上是晶圆厂的默认做法。晶圆在纯氮气填充、略微正压的箱子里运输——
Dave BlundinSo are the bananas at Walmart, just so you know.沃尔玛的香蕉也是这么运的，顺便告诉你。
Elon MuskYeah, well that’s, it’s insecticide essentially. Like it’s pretty hard for anything that’s combusting to live without oxygen. Yep. So let’s talk about—so you like, you can kill the bugs just by putting a nitrogen blanket.对，那本质上是杀虫剂。任何靠燃烧活着的东西，没有氧气都很难生存。对。所以，你只需要覆盖一层氮气毯就能杀死虫子。
Dave BlundinOh, interesting, interesting.哦，有意思，有意思。
Dave BlundinEnergy as the Foundation能源作为根基
Peter DiamandisI want to talk about energy, health, education, because those are people’s concerns. So on the energy front, the innermost loop of everything that you’re building and—我想聊聊能源、健康、教育，因为这些都是人们关心的问题。先说能源，这是你正在构建的一切的核心——
Elon MuskDoing right now, energy is the foundation.现在就在做的事情，能源是根基。
Peter DiamandisWhat’s your vision for energy abundance? The sun in the next, you know, this decade. The sun. Yeah.你对能源丰盛的愿景是什么？太阳，在接下来这个十年。太阳。对。
Elon MuskI mean, so the sun is everything.我的意思是，太阳就是一切。
Peter DiamandisIt’s everything. So you’re all in on solar? Yeah, I mean you’re natural gas and solar, you’re at Colossus 2, right?太阳就是一切。所以你完全押注太阳能？对，我的意思是，你用天然气和太阳能，你在 Colossus 2，对吧？
Elon MuskYeah, people just don’t understand how solar is everything. So everything compared to the sun, all other energy sources are like cavemen throwing some twigs into a fire.对，人们就是不理解太阳能意味着什么。太阳就是一切。相比之下，所有其他能源都像是穴居人把几根树枝扔进火堆。
Peter DiamandisYeah.是的。
Elon MuskSo the sun is over 99.8% of all mass in the solar system. Jupiter is around 0.1% of the mass. So even if you burnt Jupiter, the energy produced by the sun was still around up to 100%. Yeah. And then if you teleported three more Jupiters into our solar system and burnt them too, it’s still round up. It’s still—the sun still rounds up to 100% of energy.太阳的质量超过整个太阳系所有质量的 99.8%。木星大约占 0.1%。所以就算你把木星燃烧掉，太阳产生的能量仍然约等于 100%。然后再传送三个木星进来，全部燃烧，还是四舍五入——太阳依然四舍五入到 100% 的能量。
Peter DiamandisAny interest in fusion? I mean like—对核聚变有兴趣吗？比如——
Elon MuskYeah, you know what, you know, coming—你知道吗，你知道，说到——
Dave BlundinA mile away.就在一英里外。
Elon MuskNever going to guess how the sun works.你永远猜不到太阳是怎么运作的。
Peter DiamandisGiant coal plants.巨型煤电站。
Elon MuskI mean we have a giant fusion free fusion reactor that shows up every—我们有一个巨型免费聚变反应堆，每天——
Peter DiamandisDay 93 million miles away.每天出现，距离 9300 万英里。
Elon MuskIt’s farcical for us to create little fusion reactors. I mean that would be like, you know, having a tiny ice cube maker in the Antarctic and say, “Hey look, we made ice.” I’m like, congratulations, even the f *ing Antarctic. Totally with you on this. Three kilometer high glaciers right next to you.我们去造小型聚变反应堆，简直是荒唐。这就好像，在南极有台小冰块机，然后说「嘿，看，我们造出冰了。」我的感觉是，恭喜你，旁边他妈的有三公里高的冰川耶。完全同意你。
Dave BlundinYeah.是的。
Elon MuskScaling AI Training Infrastructure扩展 AI 训练基础设施
Dave BlundinIf you just narrow the question to the Memphis timeline. So Memphis data center timeline. Between a gigawatt and 10 gigawatt. You’re not going to pull 10 gigawatts out of Memphis.如果把问题缩小到 Memphis 的时间线——Memphis 数据中心的时间线。在 1 gigawatt 到 10 gigawatt 之间。你不可能从 Memphis 拉出 10 gigawatt。
Elon MuskMaybe you are two or three.也许能拉到两三个。
Dave BlundinTwo or three.两三个。
Elon MuskOkay, so—好，那么——
Dave BlundinSo there’s still a gap between there and the next whatever you just—so. And they’re not in space yet at that point.所以在那和你刚才说的下一个——之间还有差距。而且那时候还没到太空。
Elon MuskWe’re still in toyland here for Toyland. Toyland, Toyland. 10 gigawatts.我们现在还是在玩具箱阶段。玩具箱，玩具箱。10 gigawatt 而已。
Dave BlundinYou know what’s amazing is there’s a hundred megawatts right outside the door here. And it’s massive. Yeah, it’s enormous. And it uses more energy 100 times than everything. All these manufacturing lines combined use less energy than that, I think. But we’re talking about a gig.你知道什么最惊人吗？就在门外就有 100 megawatt 的东西，而且体量巨大。是的，非常庞大。它消耗的能量比其他所有东西加起来多 100 倍。这里所有生产线加在一起消耗的能量，我觉得都不如它多。而我们讨论的还是 1 gig。
Elon MuskCortex 1 was the third largest training cluster in the world.Cortex 1 曾是全球第三大训练集群。
Dave BlundinYeah.是的。
Elon MuskFor doing coherent training.用于做连贯训练。
Peter DiamandisYou’re falling behind.你们要落后了。
Elon MuskWell, we have Cortex 2 that’s being built out. That’ll be half a gigawatt and operational middle of next year, everybody.嗯，我们的 Cortex 2 正在建设中。明年年中就会有半个 gigawatt 的规模并投入运营，大家。
Elon MuskChina’s Solar Dominance中国的太阳能主导地位

Peter DiamandisSo going back to what Dave is saying over the next five years, what are you scaling on energy front?回到 Dave 说的那个问题——未来五年，你在能源方面要扩张到什么程度？
Elon MuskFive years is a long time.五年是很长的时间。
Peter DiamandisI mean energy. I mean China has done an incredible job.我说的是能源。我是说，中国做得非常出色。
Elon MuskYeah, right.是的，没错。
Peter DiamandisI mean it’s running circles around us.他们把我们甩得远远的。
Elon MuskChina has done an incredible job on solar. Yeah, it’s amazing. So I believe China’s production capacity is around 1,500 gigawatts per year of solar.中国在太阳能领域确实干得非常漂亮。真的很惊人。我相信中国的太阳能年产能大约是 1,500 gigawatt。
Peter DiamandisYeah, they put in 500 terawatt hours in the last year. Terawatt hours. Yeah, 500 terawatt hours, to be very specific, in the last year, 70% of that was solar. And they’re just scaling.是的，他们去年新增了 500 terawatt hours。Terawatt hours。是的，非常精确地说，去年新增了 500 terawatt hours，其中 70% 是太阳能。而且还在继续扩张。
Peter DiamandisDo you imagine that solar scales, do you imagine that the US could make that level of investment and commitment because people are worried about their energy bills going up? With data centers in our backyard, how do we provide? I mean, energy is equivalent to cost of living, it’s equivalent to health, it’s equivalent to clean water. The higher energy production of a country, the higher its GDP. Energy is important.你觉得太阳能会持续扩张吗？你觉得美国能做出那种级别的投入和承诺吗？因为人们担心自己的能源账单会涨。在我们的后院建数据中心，我们怎么提供电力？我是说，能源等同于生活成本，等同于健康，等同于清洁用水。一个国家的能源产量越高，GDP 就越高。能源至关重要。
Peter DiamandisSo what should—what do we do to scale that way? Do we do it in solar here?那我们该怎么做才能达到那种规模？我们在美国发展太阳能吗？
Elon MuskI think we should scale solar substantially in the US. Tesla and SpaceX are scaling solar and I encourage others to do so as well. So the—I mean, obviously I’ve said this stuff publicly. I do see a path to 100 gigawatts a year of space sort of AI powered, solar powered AI satellites.我认为美国应该大幅扩张太阳能。Tesla 和 SpaceX 正在扩大太阳能规模，我也鼓励其他公司这么做。我的意思是，这些我公开说过。我确实看到了一条路：每年 100 gigawatt 的、由 AI 驱动的太空太阳能卫星。
Peter DiamandisYes.是的。
Elon Musk100 gigawatts a year of solar powered AI satellites.每年 100 gigawatt 的太阳能驱动 AI 卫星。
Elon MuskSpace-Based Solar Infrastructure太空太阳能基础设施
Peter DiamandisI did the math on that. That’s like 500,000 Starlink V3s launched. Over 8,000 Starship flights, like one every hour.我算了一下，那相当于发射 500,000 颗 Starlink V3，要进行 8,000 多次 Starship 飞行，大约每小时一次。
Elon MuskFor a year.一年内。
Dave BlundinYeah.是的。
Elon Musk10,000 flights a year is a reasonable number. So it’s amazing.一年 10,000 次飞行是个合理的数字。这非常惊人。
Peter DiamandisIt’s quite the scale.规模相当大。
Dave BlundinWhat’s the really rough timeline on that?这个大致时间线是什么？
Elon MuskI mean, by aircraft standards, that’s a small number. Sure, sure.我是说，按航空标准来看，那是个很小的数字。当然，当然。
Peter DiamandisIn terms of flights. Yeah, for sure.就飞行次数而言。是的，确实。
Elon MuskYeah. That’s small, like—so you’re just like, depends what you compare it to. If you compare it to the rest of the rocket industry, it’s a very high number.是的。那个数字很小——就看你跟什么比。如果跟其他火箭行业比，那是个很高的数字。
Peter DiamandisYeah.是的。
Elon MuskAnd we’re talking about a million tons of payload to orbit per year. So if you do a million tons of payload orbit per year with 100 kilowatts per ton, that’s 100 gigawatts of solar powered AI satellites per year.我们说的是每年向轨道运送 100 万吨有效载荷。如果每年 100 万吨有效载荷入轨，每吨 100 kilowatt，那就是每年 100 gigawatt 的太阳能驱动 AI 卫星。
Peter DiamandisYeah.是的。
Elon MuskI mean there’s a path to get probably to a terawatt per year from—我是说，有一条路可以达到每年 1 terawatt——
Peter DiamandisFrom Earth.从地球出发。
Dave BlundinYeah.是的。
Elon MuskIf you say like 10, you know, you want to go up another order of magnitude or let’s say you want to go to 100 terawatts a year. Yeah. So obviously kind of nutty numbers. Then you want to make those AI satellites on the moon and use a mass driver.如果你说，比如再提高一个数量级，或者说你想达到每年 100 terawatt。是的。这当然是些疯狂的数字。那你就得在月球上制造那些 AI 卫星，然后用质量驱动器发射。
Peter DiamandisYeah. So the Gerard K. O’Neill approach.是的，就是 Gerard K. O'Neill 的路子。
Elon MuskWell, like Robert Heinlein, who’s a Hodge, of course.嗯，更像是 Robert Heinlein，他当然是 Hodge 系的。
Peter DiamandisPretty much, yeah.差不多，是的。
Elon MuskYeah.是的。
Peter DiamandisI love that book.我喜欢那本书。
Elon MuskYeah, yeah. It’s a sort of libertarian paradise in the midst. Yeah. So because on the moon you can just accelerate the satellites into escape velocities around 2,500 meters per second and there’s no atmosphere. So like a mass driver works very well on the moon.是的，是的。那简直是个夹杂在其中的自由主义天堂。是的。因为在月球上，你可以把卫星加速到逃逸速度，大约是 2,500 米每秒，而且没有大气层。所以质量驱动器在月球上非常好用。
Peter DiamandisCan I ask the question about orbital debris? I mean we’re building effectively a Dyson-ish swarm around the Earth Schwarm.我能问一下轨道碎片的问题吗？我们实际上是在地球周围建一个类 Dyson 的卫星蜂群。
Elon MuskWe’ll eat it for lunch.我们会把它解决掉的。
Peter DiamandisAre you worried about over congestion on the—that’s going to be a sun sync orbit is going to fill very quickly.你担心轨道拥堵问题吗？太阳同步轨道会很快被填满。
Elon MuskI mean you don’t have to have sun sync.你不必非用太阳同步轨道。
Peter DiamandisI mean you can don’t have to, but it’s optimal.不必非用，但那是最优的。
Elon MuskYeah. There’s some pros and cons to sun sync or not sun sync. I mean your payload to orbit drops by like 30% compared to, you know, if you just went to like mid inclination, like 70 degrees or something like that.是的。太阳同步和非太阳同步各有利弊。我是说，你的有效载荷入轨效率要降低约 30%，相比于，比如说，去中等倾斜轨道，70 度左右之类的。
Peter DiamandisDo we need an orbital debris X Prize at this point? We need some way to get the satellites defunct satellites down. Do we pass rules that require them to deorbit on their own?我们现在是不是需要一个轨道碎片 X Prize？我们需要某种方式把废弃卫星带回来。我们是否要立规定要求它们自行离轨？
Elon MuskYeah, at the point which you can put a million tons of satellites into orbit, you can also start bringing down satellites too, or at least collecting them into a known—into a fixed location so they’re not like all over the place.是的，当你能把 100 万吨卫星送上轨道的时候，你同样也能开始把卫星带下来，或者至少把它们集中到一个已知的、固定的位置，这样它们就不会到处乱飘。
Peter DiamandisYeah. Then you can reuse them.是的，然后你还能重复使用。
Elon MuskYeah. Let’s just say that we’ll have the resource level will be so high that I believe this will be a solved problem given the amount of intelligence we’re talking about here. Like the intelligence would be quite interested in preserving itself.是的。就这样说吧，届时资源水平会如此之高，我相信这会是一个被解决的问题——考虑到我们在说的这个智能量级。就是说，那个智能本身会非常有兴趣保全自己。
Peter DiamandisYes, that’s true. Oh, interesting.是的，说得对。哦，有意思。
Dave BlundinYeah, good motivation.是的，动机很充分。
Peter DiamandisYeah, interesting question.是的，有意思的问题。
Dave BlundinThe data centers will not be in low Earth orbit, right? They’ll be much higher, constantly in the sun. They’re not going to be in the traffic jam, I assume.数据中心不会在近地轨道，对吧？它们会在更高的轨道，持续处于阳光照射下。我猜它们不会在拥堵路段里。
Elon MuskWell, you can get, you know, you don’t have to get to constant sunlight. You can be around 1,200 kilometers on synchronous will give you constant sunlight.嗯，你不用非得到持续有阳光的轨道。大约 1,200 公里的同步轨道就可以给你持续的阳光。
Peter DiamandisBut you could place them in multiple orbits.但你可以把它们放在多个轨道上。
Dave BlundinNo, I think if there’s an X Prize for cleaning up, it’s got to be. There’s only going to be clutter in low Earth orbit.不，我觉得如果要设 X Prize 来清理，那一定是有价值的。拥堵只会出现在近地轨道。
Peter DiamandisI mean debris from anything.我是说来自任何东西的碎片。
Elon MuskIf it’s, you know, below around 7 or 800 kilometers, the atmosphere will. Atmospheric drag will bring it back. So like for Starlink there’s a dual benefit of being like as low as possible because your beams are tighter. You’re basically that you have less latency and your beams are smaller if you’re closer to the Earth. So Starlink 3 will be around 330 to 350 kilometers, which is quite a lot of drag. So it’s basically constantly thrusting.如果在大约 700 到 800 公里以下，大气层会起作用——大气阻力会把它拉回来。所以对于 Starlink 来说，飞得尽量低有双重好处：你的波束更窄，延迟更低，离地球越近波束越小。所以 Starlink 3 将在 330 到 350 公里左右，那里大气阻力相当大，卫星基本上一直在持续推力。
Peter DiamandisI still remember when you proposed Starlink and everybody else in the industry was like, no way, no way. He’s not going to get the spectrum. He’s not going to do this. Yeah, it’s kind of worked.我还记得当年你提出 Starlink 时，业界所有人都说不可能，不可能。他不会拿到频谱的，他干不成这事。现在嘛，好像还挺成的。
Elon MuskYeah, we’re. The Starlink team has done an incredible job.是的，Starlink 团队干得非常出色。
Peter DiamandisYeah.是的。
Elon MuskI mean, we’ve basically rebuilt the Internet in space with laser links. So there’s 9,000 satellites up there right now.我是说，我们基本上用激光链路在太空里重建了互联网。现在上面有 9,000 颗卫星。
Elon MuskSatellite Licensing and Global Competition卫星许可与全球竞争
Peter DiamandisDo you think the government’s going to be able to handle the kind of licensing of the volume of satellites that you want to put up? I mean, will there be pushback? Because you know, China’s going to put up their own constellations. Europe, who knows whether Europe will ever step up?你觉得政府能应付你想部署的这个卫星数量所需要的许可吗？会有阻力吗？因为中国要部署自己的星座，欧洲——谁知道欧洲会不会追上来。
Elon MuskThey won’t.不会的。
Peter DiamandisThey won’t.不会。
Elon MuskThere’s a probability. Yeah, nothing. That nothing they’re doing has success in the set of possible outcomes.有这个概率。是的，什么都没有。在所有可能的结果集里，他们正在做的事情没有成功这个选项。
Dave BlundinI just got back from Rome. I don’t want to touch that rail.我刚从罗马回来，不想碰这个话题。
Elon MuskSuccess is not on the set of possible outcomes.成功根本不在可能的结果集里。
Dave BlundinThe outcomes, though, the chart that shows.那些结果嘛，那张图表显示……
Peter DiamandisThe number of billion dollar startups in the US versus Europe.美国与欧洲的独角兽企业数量对比。
Dave BlundinHave you seen that graphic?你看过那张图吗？
Peter DiamandisOh, my God, it’s crazy.天哪，太离谱了。
Dave BlundinAnd data centers too.数据中心也是一样。
Peter DiamandisNo one was talking about orbital data centers six months ago. Yeah, nobody. And then all of a sudden Sundar’s on it, you’re out with it, and it’s the hot new thing.六个月前没人讨论轨道数据中心。是的，没有人。然后突然之间 Sundar 在搞，你也在推，这成了最热门的新事物。
Elon MuskIt is.确实是。
Peter DiamandisWhat happened that every company is now talking about orbital data centers?为什么现在每家公司都在谈轨道数据中心？
Elon MuskI guess it went viral on X. It did. I don’t know. Is every company talking?我猜是在 X 上火了。是的。我不知道，是每家公司都在谈吗？
Peter DiamandisOh, yeah. Everybody’s got their own orbital data for sure.哦，是的。每家公司都有自己的轨道数据中心计划了。
Dave BlundinAnd I was suggesting to Peter that you updated the math on launch costs and that it’s a tipping point. Very quickly with the updated map.我跟 Peter 提过，你更新了发射成本的测算，一个临界点到了。用更新的数据很快就能看出来。
Peter DiamandisStarship’s been the cost for, you know, I don’t know what you hold. $100 per kg, $10 per kg. What do you have? Starship?Starship 的成本，我不知道你怎么算的，$100 每 kg、$10 每 kg？Starship 你怎么算？
Dave BlundinWell, it’s possible that Elon said that and nobody believed it until now.嗯，有可能是 Elon 早就说过这个，只是现在大家才信了。
Elon MuskYou can go back and look at my, what? Even back when it was Twitter, my old tweets, I said these things many years ago.你可以回去看我的——什么——就算是 Twitter 时代，我很多年前就在推文里说过这些事。
Dave Blundin100 bucks or 10 bucks a kilogram.100 块还是 10 块一公斤。
Elon MuskYeah. And I said, this is. We’re going to do a million tons a year to orbit. Yeah. And we’ve got to get the cost down well below $100 a kilogram.是的。我说过，我们要做到每年向轨道运 100 万吨。是的。我们必须把成本压到 $100 每公斤以下。
Peter DiamandisSo that’s going to move the data centers to orbit.所以这将推动数据中心搬上轨道。
Elon MuskYou can basically do the math. Like if you’ve got a fully reusable rocket.你基本上可以自己算。如果你有一枚完全可重复使用的火箭——
Peter DiamandisYeah.是的。
Elon MuskWhich is fully and rapidly reusable like an aircraft. And this is an incredible. This is a very difficult thing to do. Obviously I think it’s at the limit of human intelligence to create a fully and rapidly reusable rocket. But it is possible and we’re doing it with Starship.像飞机那样完全且快速可重复使用。这是个惊人的壮举。要造出一枚完全且快速可重复使用的火箭，这件事极其困难，我认为这已经是人类智慧的极限了。但它是可以实现的，我们正在用 Starship 做这件事。
Peter DiamandisIt’s been the holy grail in the aerospace industry forever.这一直是航空航天行业永恒的圣杯。
Elon MuskYeah. Quest for the holy grail rocket.是的，追寻圣杯火箭。
Peter DiamandisYeah.是的。
Dave BlundinAnd then I. Yeah, it is.然后我——是的，确实。
Peter DiamandisI mean, right. I mean the DCX was the first little things that we’re trying there and it’s been, you know, all of, I mean back when I was in the space industry, that’s all everyone ever spoke about. And then when Falcon 9 first reused its first stage, I mean all the traditional aerospace industries did not believe that even Falcon 9 could fly.我是说，DCX 是最早尝试这件事的一些小玩意儿，多年来——我是说，我在航天行业的时候，所有人谈的都是这个。后来 Falcon 9 第一次重复使用一级助推器，整个传统航天行业都不相信 Falcon 9 能飞。
Elon MuskLiterally you can come see it land at Cape Canaveral.你现在就可以去 Cape Canaveral 亲眼看它着陆。
Peter DiamandisYeah.是的。
Elon MuskAnd then take off again. So I don’t know how you would not believe a thing that you can see with your own eyes.然后再发射。所以我不知道，你怎么能不相信一件你亲眼看见的事。
Peter DiamandisWell, they didn’t believe you. They didn’t believe.嗯，他们不相信你，他们不相信。
Dave BlundinThe leap from there to the launch costs actually requires more faith than just that. I think Starship is the launch cost tipping point and that somewhere in that, you know, before you had Twitter it became X. Somewhere in that timeline it went from speculative to no doubt. And I don’t know if that’s a smooth line or a couple of good launches in between, but I suspect that the data centers in space ties directly.从那一步跳到发射成本真正实现，需要的信念比光看到它飞起来要多得多。我认为 Starship 是发射成本的临界点，在某个时间节点——在 Twitter 变成 X 之前的某个时候——那件事从「也许可能」变成了「毫无疑问」。我不知道这个过程是平滑的还是经过几次漂亮的发射之后，但我猜轨道数据中心与此直接相关。
Dave BlundinEnergy Solutions and Battery Storage能源解决方案与电池储能
Peter DiamandisTo the credibility is not thinking about orbital data centers. They’re thinking about energy and the cost of energy here on here in their hometown and sort of the. There’s a lot of doomer conversations out there. The data centers are going to drive the CPI up.对大众来说，可信度不在于思考轨道数据中心，而是在于能源，以及家门口能源的成本。外面有很多悲观的声音——数据中心会推高 CPI。
Elon MuskThey’re not entirely wrong.他们也不完全是错的。
Peter DiamandisOkay, so what is. So what is the end. What’s the energy solution here on Earth for the rest of humanity or the, the non data. The non AI.好，那么，地球上其他人的能源解决方案是什么？不是数据中心用的，是非 AI 的那部分。
Dave BlundinOh, there’s something other than data center use. Uses of energy. Okay.哦，还有除了数据中心以外的其他能源用途。好的。
Elon MuskRight.对。
Dave BlundinThat’s complex.这很复杂。
Elon MuskWell the, the best way to actually increase the energy output per year of the United States or any country is batteries. So the peak power output of the of the US is around 1.1 terawatts. But the average power usage is only half a terawatt.其实，真正能提高美国或任何国家每年能源产出的最佳方式是电池。美国的峰值发电能力大约是 1.1 terawatt，但平均用电量只有 0.5 terawatt。
Peter DiamandisYeah.是的。
Elon MuskSo if you just buffer the energy. So charge up the batteries at night, discharge during the day without incremental capital expenditure, without incremental capital expenditures, without building new power plants, you can double the energy throughput of the US. The energy output per year can double with batteries.所以如果你只是做能源缓冲——晚上给电池充电，白天放电——不增加额外的资本支出，不建新电厂，就能让美国的能源吞吐量翻倍。用电池，美国每年的能源产出可以翻倍。
Peter DiamandisAnd do we have those batteries in development?我们现在有那些电池在开发吗？
Elon MuskYeah, Tesla makes them.有啊，Tesla 在做。
Peter DiamandisOkay, so you think the current Tesla battery packs.好，那你是说现有的 Tesla 电池组——
Dave BlundinWhat do you think?你觉得呢？
Elon MuskI literally have pager and presented the thing. That’s the dead giveaway. I even went to installations of the megapacks, you know, and there’s.我字面上是拿着寻呼机展示过这件事的。这是最明显的信号。我甚至去参观过 Megapack 的安装现场，你知道，而且那里——
Peter DiamandisSo why don’t people do this?那为什么大家不去做呢？
Elon MuskIt’s on the Internet.在网上都能找到的。
Dave BlundinYeah.是的。
Peter DiamandisSo it’s. Do you think they are.那，你觉得他们正在做吗？
Elon MuskAnd China, by the way, is like. It seems like China listens to everything I said, I say and does. Does it? Basically. Or at least. Or they’re just doing it independently. I don’t know. But they’re, they’re certainly making massive battery packs, like really massive battery pack output. They’re, you know, making vast numbers of electric cars, vast amounts of solar.中国嘛，顺便说一句——感觉中国把我说的每件事都听进去了，而且照做。或者至少——或者他们是自己独立做出来的，我不知道。但他们确实在大规模制造电池组，真的超大规模的电池组产出。他们在生产大量电动汽车、大量太阳能。
Dave BlundinI don’t know.不知道啊。
Elon MuskThese are all things I said.这些都是我说过的事。
Peter DiamandisYou know, we should do fundamentals.你知道，我们应该回到基本原则。
Elon MuskSure.当然。
Elon MuskSolar Energy and Distribution太阳能与电力分配
Peter DiamandisWhen I fly over Santa Monica in LA, when I’m. When I’m piloting and I look down, they’re like zero roofs have solar on them.我飞越 Santa Monica 和 LA 上空的时候——我驾驶着飞机俯瞰——几乎没有任何屋顶装了太阳能板。
Elon MuskZero roofs? Yeah. I mean, it’s not essential to have them on a roof.零个屋顶？是的。我是说，装在屋顶上并不是必须的。
Peter DiamandisOkay. But it’s a convenient place to have them.好吧，但那是个方便的地方。
Elon MuskYes, but the surface area of roofs is. I’m not saying you shouldn’t, but it’s. Tesla makes a solar roof, which is the only solar roof that isn’t ugly. Our solar roof actually looks beautiful.是的，但屋顶的面积……我不是说不该装，只是——Tesla 做了一款太阳能屋顶，是唯一不丑的太阳能屋顶。我们的太阳能屋顶其实很漂亮。
Peter DiamandisYeah.是的。
Elon MuskBut if you want to do solar at scale, you just need more surface area. So we have vast empty deserts in America. Like if you fly from LA to New York or just fly across country and you look down for a large portion of the time, you look down. It is bleak desert.但如果你想大规模发展太阳能，你需要更多的表面积。美国有大片空旷的沙漠。就像你从 LA 飞到纽约，或者飞越全国，俯视下去，有很长时间你看到的都是荒凉的沙漠。
Peter DiamandisYes.是的。
Elon MuskIt looks like Mars, essentially.基本上看起来像火星。
Peter DiamandisWe’re not worried about overpopulation there.那里我们不担心过度开发。
Elon MuskNo. I mean, there’s barely a lizard alive in these scorching deserts. You know, it’s not like farmland we’re talking about. We’re just talking about places that look like Mars, like just scorched rock. So if we put solar where we currently have scorched rock, I think this will be a quality of life improvement for the lizards or the few creatures that live in this very difficult environment.不担心。我是说，这些酷热的沙漠里几乎没什么生命。你知道，我们说的不是农田，我们说的就是那些看起来像火星的地方——就是烧焦的石头。所以如果我们把太阳能板铺到那些现在就是烧焦石头的地方，我觉得对那里的蜥蜴或者少数顽强生存的生物来说，这都是生活品质的提升。
Peter DiamandisDo we have the distribution network?我们有分配网络吗？
Elon MuskIt’s like Liz is going to be, thank God, some shade finally.那些蜥蜴会想，感谢上苍，终于有点阴凉了。
Peter DiamandisDo we have the distribution network to be able to do that?我们有分配网络能把电力送出去吗？
Elon MuskYeah.有的。
Dave BlundinYou need to materially affect quality of life. You need to capture and store what a couple hundred gigawatts is that in.要真正影响生活质量，你需要捕获并储存……大概几百 gigawatt？那大概是多少？
Elon MuskThe realistic cards you could just put the data center, I guess locally there.实际可行的方案是，你可以直接把数据中心建在当地。
Dave BlundinWell, we already cover data centers. We’re talking about the other. I don’t know. In an abundant world five years from now, massive amounts of compute massive, you know, universal high income.嗯，数据中心我们已经涵盖了，我们在说其他的用途。我不知道。在五年后那个丰裕的世界里，海量算力，还有，你知道，全民高收入。
Elon MuskI don’t know what our data universal. You can have whatever you want income. Yeah, yeah, that’s really what it matters to.我不知道什么叫全民……你可以拥有你想要的任何东西这种收入。是的，是的，那才是真正重要的。
Dave BlundinBut in that world, you know, other than compute energy, how much more energy do we need? 30, 40, 50% or I don’t know, unless we want to move mountains around to make a ski mountain, you know, in the backyard. I think the vast majority of energy consumption will go into computer and then there may be use cases I’m not thinking of like, you know. Well, you know, right here is a nice case study because manufacturing every one of these cars coming out at the rate of one every minute or two is less energy than the data center that’s training the cars to drive, to self drive.但在那个世界里，除了算力用的能源，我们还需要多少其他能源？30%、40%、50% 还是多少——除非我们想在后院堆一座人造雪山弄个滑雪场之类的。我觉得绝大部分能源消耗会流向计算，然后可能还有一些我没想到的场景，比如……好吧，就在这里是个很好的案例——制造每一辆汽车，以每分钟或两分钟一辆的速度出厂，消耗的能量比训练汽车自动驾驶的那个数据中心还要少。
Elon MuskYes.是的。
Dave BlundinSo that’s a good little case study. And we don’t need that much more physical energy for abundant happiness. We need more compute energy.所以这是个很好的小案例。为了让大家过得丰衣足乐，我们不需要多太多物理能源，我们需要的是更多算力能源。
Elon MuskThe sun is just generating vast amounts of energy all the time for free that goes into space. So I think what we’ll end up trying to capture, I don’t know, a millionth of it. Like a millionth, a thousandth of the sun’s energy. We’re currently, I’m not sure the exact number but we’re, I don’t know, we’re probably at 1% of Kardashev Level 1.太阳一直在持续免费地释放巨量能量，都跑到太空里去了。所以我觉得我们最终会努力捕获其中的——我不知道——百万分之一，或者千分之一。我们目前捕获的，我不知道确切数字，但大概是 Kardashev Level 1 的 1% 吧。
Peter DiamandisFair enough. Yeah, I would guess that evens that’s high.说得差不多。是的，我猜那还高估了。
Elon MuskI’m just saying we have a long way to go that’s being optimistic. Hopefully we’re not 0.1% but I don’t think we’re 10%. I’m just trying to get it to an order of magnitude. So pull it like we’re roughly 1% of the currently using 1% of the energy that we could use on Earth.我只是想说我们还有很长的路要走，这还是乐观估计。希望不止 0.1%，但我也不觉得有 10%。我只是在数量级上定位一下——大概我们现在在用地球上可用能量的 1%。
Peter DiamandisI think the bottom line from a first principles thinking for the public is there’s a lot of energy out there and we have it in the US, we have it on the planet and it needs to be captured. And the tech to capture it is here and improving every year.我觉得从第一性原理出发，对公众来说最底线的结论就是：能量多得是，美国有，地球上有，只需要去捕获，而且捕获它的技术已经在这里了，每年都在进步。
Elon MuskYes. Yeah. There’s not going to be some energy crisis. There’ll be a large forcing function to harness more energy, but we’re not going to run out of it.是的，没错。不会有什么能源危机。会有强大的驱动力去利用更多能量，但我们不会耗尽它的。
Elon MuskEducation in Crisis教育危机
Peter DiamandisAll right, I want to talk about education. So here’s the numbers—they’re abysmal. I mean, they’re abysmal.好，我想聊聊教育。看看这些数字——太惨了，真的太惨了。
Elon MuskRight.对。
Peter DiamandisThe importance of college in the United States. Back in 2010, 75% of Americans said it’s important to go to college. That number is now down at 35%.美国人对上大学的重视程度。2010 年，75% 的美国人认为上大学很重要，这个数字现在降到了 35%。
Elon MuskAll right.嗯。
Peter DiamandisCollege graduates as a group turn out to be the group that’s out of work the longest. Right. And still, tuition has increased 900% since 1983.大学毕业生作为一个群体，反而是失业时间最长的那个群体。对。而且学费自 1983 年以来涨了 900%。
Elon MuskYeah. The administrative expenses at universities have gotten out of control. Yep. So I think I saw some stat that, like, there’s one administrator for every two students at Brown or something like that. And I’m like, this seems a little high.是的。大学里的行政支出完全失控了。是的。我看到一个数据，Brown 大学每两个学生就有一个行政人员，我当时想，这似乎有点多了。
Peter DiamandisYeah. They should teach something.是的，他们应该去教点东西。
Elon MuskYeah. Yeah.是的，是的。
Dave BlundinWhat was your college journey?你当年是怎么经历大学的？
Dave BlundinMusk’s Educational PathMusk 的求学之路
Elon MuskI went to college in Canada for a couple years at Queen’s University. So I had Canadian citizenship through my mom, who was born in Canada, and my grandfather was actually American. But for some reason, I don’t know, my mom couldn’t get US Citizenship, but she was born in Canada, so I got Canadian citizenship and I didn’t have any money, so I could only go to Canadian University at first.我在加拿大的 Queen's University 上了几年大学。因为我妈妈出生在加拿大，我拿了加拿大国籍，我外祖父其实是美国人。但不知为何，我妈妈没能拿到美国国籍，她出生在加拿大，所以我拿到了加拿大国籍。当时我没什么钱，所以只能先上加拿大的大学。
Peter DiamandisPeople forget that about you. You didn’t have this giant social network or huge amount of wealth coming into all of this.大家往往忘了这一点——你当初开始做这一切的时候，既没有庞大的社会关系网，也没有大量财富。
Elon MuskNo, no. I arrived in Montreal at age 17 with I think around $2,500 in Canadian traveler’s checks, back when traveler’s checks were a thing. And one bag of books and one bag of clothes. That was my starting point. That was my spawn point in North America.没有，没有。我 17 岁的时候抵达蒙特利尔，带着大概 $2,500 加拿大元的旅行支票——那时候旅行支票还是个东西——还有一袋书和一袋衣服。那就是我的起点，我在北美的出生点。
Elon MuskAnd then so I went to Queens University for a couple years, and then University of Pennsylvania. Did a dual degree in physics and economics and graduated undergraduate at UPenn. UPenn. Wharton. Yeah. And then I came out to do—I was going to do a PhD at Stanford working on energy storage technologies for electric vehicles. Potentially material science, I guess, fundamentally, the idea that I had was to try to create a capacitor with enough energy density that you get high range in an electric car.然后我在 Queen's University 上了几年，再转到宾夕法尼亚大学，同时修了物理和经济的双学位，在 UPenn 拿了本科学位。UPenn，Wharton。是的。然后我来这里，本来是要去斯坦福读博士，方向是电动汽车的储能技术。从根本上说可能是材料科学，我当时的想法是尝试研发一种能量密度足够高的电容器，让电动汽车拥有长续航。
Dave BlundinIt’s funny, I invested in an ultracapacitor company and then—Yeah, didn’t go well.有意思，我当年投了一家超级电容公司，然后……是的，没投好。
Elon MuskWell, it’s one of those things where, you know, you could definitely get a PhD, but it wasn’t clear that you could make a company or do something useful like this. Most PhDs, I mean, hate said, but most PhDs do not turn into something that’s going to turn into something useful. Like you could add a leaf to the tree of knowledge, but it’s not necessarily a useful leaf.嗯，这就是那种情况——你肯定能读完博士，但并不清楚你能不能由此做出一家公司，或者真正做出什么有用的东西。大多数博士——我这么说可能有人不高兴——大多数博士的成果并不会变成真正有用的东西。你可以在知识树上添一片叶子，但那片叶子不一定有用。
Dave BlundinEnormous fraction of great entrepreneurs are dropping out grad school or undergrad. But nowadays the sense of urgency is off the charts. But I mean, they’re popping out everywhere.大量优秀创业者都是从研究生或本科辍学出来的。而且现在的紧迫感已经是天壤之别。他们到处都在冒出来。
Peter DiamandisYeah, because, you know, don’t waste your time going to grad school. Start a company.是的，因为，你知道，别浪费时间读研究生了，去创业吧。
Dave BlundinCurriculum is nowhere near caught up to what’s actually going on in technology. And I don’t have time. And we talked about the one time.课程内容完全追不上技术真正发生的事，我没时间了。我们也聊过那次——
Peter DiamandisIt’s like, you know, this is the moment.就是，你知道，现在就是那个时刻。
Elon MuskI think this is the moment. Like it’s not clear to me why somebody would be in college right now unless they want the social experience. Yeah, yeah.我觉得现在就是那个时刻。我真的不明白，一个人现在还去读大学，除非是为了社交体验。是的，是的。
Elon MuskCreating More Innovators培养更多创新者
Peter DiamandisI mean, if you have the ability to go and build something. So the question is, how would you redesign the educational program? If I could be so blunt as to create more Elon Musks. You know, if you want to create an Elon Musk factory of people who start with very little but are able to drive and drive breakthroughs, what’s involved there? What drove you?我是说，如果你有能力去建造一些东西的话。那么问题来了，如果你来重新设计教育体系，直白地说——为了培养出更多 Elon Musk 式的人物。你知道，如果你想建一个 Elon Musk 工厂，培养那些起点很低但能不断突破、推动变革的人，那需要什么？是什么驱动了你？
Elon MuskCuriosity about the nature of the universe. So I’m curious about the meaning of life and, you know, what is this reality that we live in?对宇宙本质的好奇心。我对生命的意义好奇，对我们所处的这个现实是什么好奇。
Peter DiamandisMy son Dax wanted to know what was it like for you in middle school and high school? He’s 14 years old. He’s in that age range now.我儿子 Dax 想问，你的初中和高中是什么感受？他 14 岁，正处于那个年龄段。
Elon MuskWell, I found school to be quite painful and it was very boring. And in South Africa was very violent. So it was like, it was like that book, “Ender’s Game.” Yes, but in real survival IRL—Ender’s Game IRL. It was like, but not as fun.嗯，我觉得上学非常痛苦，非常无聊。南非又非常暴力。所以感觉就像那本书《安德的游戏》。是的，但是现实版的真实生存——《安德的游戏》IRL 版。就是那种感觉，但没那么好玩。
Peter DiamandisSo your goal was escape?所以你的目标是逃离？
Elon MuskYes, escape from the present.是的，逃离当下。
Peter DiamandisSo that’s a question I have.那我有个问题——
Elon MuskDo you think that it was miserable?你觉得是不是因为那段时间太痛苦了？
Peter DiamandisDo you think most successful people have had a lot of hardship early in life? Do you need to have that level of hardship?你觉得大多数成功的人早年都经历过很多磨难吗？一定要有那种程度的磨难吗？
Elon MuskProbably need a little bit of hardship, I suppose, yeah. And then so it’s always tricky, like what are you supposed to do with your kids? You know, create artificial adversity.大概需要一点点磨难吧，我想。但这总是很棘手——你该对自己的孩子怎么做？给他们制造人为的逆境吗？
Peter DiamandisPut them in.把他们放到……
Elon MuskThat’s cool.酷啊。
Dave BlundinDo you get an answer? That’s a Warren Buffett topic actually. Yeah.你有答案吗？这其实是 Warren Buffett 也聊过的话题。是的。
Elon MuskWhat do you do? But seriously, it’s not easy to create artificial adversity because if you love your kids, you don’t want to do that. So. Sure. So I had a lot of adversity. Probably it was good. Probably, you know, helped somewhat.你怎么做？但说真的，制造人为的逆境并不容易，因为如果你爱你的孩子，你不舍得那么做。所以，当然，所以我经历了很多磨难。大概有点用，可能，你知道，多少有些帮助。
Peter DiamandisI suppose one of the things that—我觉得其中一件事——
Elon MuskKill you, makes you stronger type of thing. At least I didn’t lose a limb. I think what doesn’t maim you—good at maiming.不杀死你的，让你更强大——就是那种感觉。至少我没丢什么肢体。我觉得是「不残害你的，才真的让你变强」——残害这件事还挺拿手的。
Peter DiamandisTen fingers.十根手指。
Elon MuskI can modify that a little bit. Yeah. Can I ask you a question? Makes you stronger.我可以稍微改一改。对。我能问你个问题吗？困难使人强大。
Elon MuskThe Rise of Entrepreneurship创业精神的崛起
Dave BlundinFor the last five years, I’ve been helping teach this class Foundations of AI ventures at MIT. And every year when you survey the students, they go up a lot in their desire to start a company. And so it’s now up to 80% of the incoming spread.过去五年，我一直在帮着教 MIT 的这门课——AI 创业基础。每年调查学生的时候，想要创业的比例都在大幅上升。现在新生里已经有 80% 有创业意愿了。
Elon MuskEveryone’s just going to—It’s just going to be like one person company. Well, that’s—到时候大家都会——就像单人公司一样。嗯，这个——
Dave BlundinWith AI, that’s viable, I guess. But no, they want to co-found. Yeah. They don’t want to be the founder. They want to be part of a founding team. So it still works out. But when Peter and I were in School at MIT, it was, I’m guessing, maybe 10%, and they all wanted to be—And they’ve been doing the survey.有了 AI，这确实可行，我猜。不过他们不想单打独斗。对。他们不想当唯一创始人，想加入一个创始团队。所以还是行得通的。但我和 Peter 在 MIT 读书的时候，我猜大概也就 10%，而且大家都想成为——他们一直在做这个调查。
Elon MuskI didn’t know anyone who wanted to start—I mean, yeah, I don’t remember any conversations about with people saying they wanted—我不认识任何想创业的人——我是说，对，我完全不记得有人说过他们想——
Dave BlundinEven at Stanford at the time.当时在 Stanford 也是这样。
Elon MuskI actually, a few days into the semester, or I should say the quarter, I called Bill Nix, who is the head of material science department, and said, I’d like to just put her on deferment.其实，开学才几天——应该说是开学季才几天，我就打电话给 Bill Nix，也就是材料科学系主任，说我想先办理延期入学。
Peter DiamandisHe said, is my class that bad?他说，是我的课那么难吗？
Elon MuskNo. And he said, that’s okay, you can put her on deferment. But he said, this is probably the last conversation we’ll have. And he was right. But then last, I think it was last year, he sent me a letter saying that all of my predictions about lithium ion batteries came true.不是。他说，没问题，你可以办延期。不过他说，这大概是我们最后一次谈话了。他说对了。但后来——我想是去年吧，他给我寄了一封信，说我当年对锂离子电池的所有预测都成真了。
Peter DiamandisAnd did he also say you could still come back and finish your PhD?他有没有说你还可以回来读完博士？
Elon MuskYeah, several times Stanford has said that I can come back for free.有，Stanford 说过好几次，我可以免费回去继续读。
Dave BlundinWell, so, you know, what happened at—所以，你知道，当时 MIT 发生了什么——
Elon MuskMIT is every time I did not know.MIT 那边每次我都不知道。
Peter DiamandisGreat use of your time. Exactly.时间用得极好。完全正确。
Peter DiamandisThe Iron Man Effect钢铁侠效应
Dave BlundinI’m like, so every time an Iron Man movie came out, it notched up another probably 10% or so in terms of everybody wanted to be Tony Stark. And so that’s the image. And I didn’t know till today that the new Tony Stark, the modern Iron Man, Tony Stark—I always thought Tony Stark was modeled on Charles Stark Draper and Howard Hughes. It was Charles Stark Draper’s education and his, you know, scientific endeavors married with Howard Hughes’s ambition. And that created the original character. But then when Robert Downey Jr. wanted to reinvent it, yeah, it came—It’s modeled on Elon.我就想，每次《钢铁侠》电影上映，想成为 Tony Stark 的人就会再涨大概 10% 左右。那就是大家心目中的形象。我今天才知道，新版 Tony Stark，现代版钢铁侠——我一直以为 Tony Stark 是以 Charles Stark Draper 和 Howard Hughes 为原型的。是把 Charles Stark Draper 的学术背景和科学追求，跟 Howard Hughes 的野心结合在一起，造就了最初的角色。但后来 Robert Downey Jr. 想要重塑这个角色，对，就以 Elon 为蓝本了。
Elon MuskYeah, he came with me. This is a Grokipedia fact.对，他来找过我。这是 Grokipedia 上的事实。
Dave BlundinAll right.好吧。
Elon MuskYeah, Fantastic. Yeah. So they came to you, John Favreau and Robert—对，太棒了。是的。那么他们来找你了，John Favreau 和 Robert——
Peter DiamandisI like the name Grok. I would like Jarvis as well.我喜欢 Grok 这个名字。我也很喜欢 Jarvis。
Dave BlundinYeah, yeah.对对对。
Peter DiamandisProbably some trade lines.可能有一些商标问题。
Elon MuskAt some point, if Grok gets good enough, we’re going to call it Encyclopedia Galactica.有朝一日，如果 Grok 足够强大，我们会把它叫做 Encyclopedia Galactica（银河百科全书）。
Peter DiamandisYes.是的。
Elon MuskThat’s nice. Yeah, yeah. Course 42.挺好的。对，对。Course 42。
Peter DiamandisThank you. So going back to education, should colleges—I guess the social experience, like you said, is important there. But what would you do for education? You know, middle high school. You just came back from an announcement with President Bukele, who’s a friend. I think he’s an amazing, amazing visionary.谢谢。所以回到教育话题，大学是否应该——你说了社交体验很重要。但你会怎么看待教育？比如说初中、高中。你刚从和 Bukele 总统的发布会回来，他是朋友。我觉得他是一个非常非常有远见的人。
Elon MuskYeah.是的。
Peter DiamandisIncredible what he did with his nation.他为他的国家所做的一切真令人叹为观止。
Elon MuskYeah. Remarkable.对，了不起。
Peter DiamandisRemarkable and gutsy.了不起，而且胆识过人。
Elon MuskYeah. I was like, how are you still alive?是啊。我就想，你怎么还活着？
Peter DiamandisYeah, I mean, it was like, it’s the nuclear—It was a nuclear option.对，我是说，这就像是，就像是动了核选项一样。
Dave BlundinRight.没错。
Peter DiamandisShut him down. I mean, you know how—besides putting everybody with a gang sign in jail, I don’t know if you know, the second thing he did, he went to all of the graves of all the gang members out there and destroyed the graves and said, “Your memory will not be remembered in this nation.” That’s just badass. And it worked.把他们一举镇压。我是说，你知道——除了把所有带帮派标志的人投进监狱，我不知道你是否知道，他做的第二件事，是去了当地所有帮派成员的坟墓，把坟墓全部摧毁，然后说，"你们的记忆不会留存于这个国家。"这真的是硬核。而且奏效了。
Elon MuskI mean, you have to be badass motherf *er to take on all the knocker gangs and win and live. Yeah. And still be alive and live.我是说，你得是个狠人才能把所有帮派全部干掉还能活下来。对。活到现在还能活着。
Peter DiamandisHe’s got a great, great guard at his palace there. But what did you announce with him in El Salvador?他在宫殿那边有非常、非常棒的护卫。不过你和他在 El Salvador 宣布了什么？
Elon MuskIt was just basically to use Grok for education, like personalized education.基本上就是把 Grok 用于教育，比如个性化教育。
Peter DiamandisHopefully not the vulgar version of it.希望不是那个粗俗版本的。
Elon MuskYeah, we would have like, you know, the kids friendly version of Grok. But obviously AI can be an individualized teacher that is infinitely patient and answers all your questions. Now you still need to be curious and you still need to want to learn. Grok can’t make you want to learn. It can make learning more interesting.对，我们会有一个适合孩子的 Grok 版本。但 AI 显然可以成为一个无限耐心的个人化教师，回答你所有的问题。当然你还是要有好奇心，还是要想学习。Grok 没办法让你想学，但它可以让学习变得更有趣。
Peter DiamandisYou could probably gamify and incentivize it.你可能可以通过游戏化和激励来推动。
Elon MuskRight. You can make learning more interesting and less of a production line. But kids do need to have to—if they need to want to learn. You know, people should just think of the brain as a biological computer.对。可以让学习更有趣，不再像流水线一样。但孩子们还是需要——如果他们需要有学习的意愿。你知道，大家应该把大脑想成一台生物计算机。
Peter DiamandisIt’s a neural net.它是个神经网络。
Elon MuskYeah, it’s a biological computer with a number of neurons and neural efficiency. And so what you can’t do is turn any arbitrary kid into Einstein. This is not realistic because Einstein had a very good meat computer, like an outstanding meat computer. So you can’t just do Shakespeare, Newton, you know, Einstein type of thing, unless the meat computer is an exceptional one.对，它是一台生物计算机，有一定数量的神经元和神经效率。所以你没办法把任意一个孩子变成爱因斯坦，这不现实，因为爱因斯坦有一台非常优秀的肉体计算机，顶级的肉体计算机。所以你没办法搞出莎士比亚、牛顿、爱因斯坦那种级别的人，除非这台肉体计算机本身就是顶配。
Peter DiamandisSo what do you think? So when people say we need to solve education in the United States because it’s fundamentally broken, I think what’s really broken, I’m curious, is the old social contract that says do well in high school, get in a good college, get a degree and then get a job. And I don’t know that that’s going to be valid in the future. We talk about this on the pod a lot. That the career of the future isn’t getting a job, it’s being an entrepreneur. It’s finding a problem and solving it.所以你怎么看？人们说美国的教育需要改革，因为它已经根本性地坏掉了。我觉得真正坏掉的——我很好奇——是那个旧的社会契约，那个叫你在高中好好表现、考上好大学、拿到学位然后找份工作的逻辑。而我不确定这在未来还站不站得住脚。我们在节目里聊过很多次。未来的职业不是找工作，而是成为创业者。是发现问题然后解决它。
Elon MuskYeah.是的。
Peter DiamandisDo you agree with that?你同意吗？
Peter DiamandisEducation as a Social Experience教育作为一种社交体验
Elon MuskRight now I’d say it feels just, you know, go to school for the social experience, use more AI. The conventional schooling experience I think could be a lot better. What we’re going to do in El Salvador and hopefully other places, just have individualized teachers. It’s going to be much better. And you could go to a school with a bunch of other kids, I guess if you want to hang out with other kids. But you don’t need to. Right. You could do it on your phone at home.就现在来说，我觉得上学的意义就是去体验社交，多用 AI。传统的学校体验我认为可以好得多。我们准备在 El Salvador 以及希望其他地方做的事，就是给每个人配个性化教师。会好很多。你可以去一所有很多其他孩子的学校，如果你想和他们待在一起的话。但你不是非得这么做。对。你可以在家里用手机完成学习。
Elon MuskSo that’s why I say like at this point education is a social experience. When I talk to my kids who are in college, they do recognize that they can learn just as much independently. In fact, they would learn more in a work situation. Yeah, they are there for the social experience and to be around a bunch of people of their own age. Sort of a coming of age social experience.所以我才说，就目前而言，教育是一种社交体验。当我和在上大学的孩子们谈的时候，他们也承认，自己独立学习其实能学到一样多的东西。事实上，在工作环境里他们学得更多。对，他们去上学就是为了社交体验，跟同龄人待在一起。某种程度上是一种成长的社交经历。
Peter DiamandisSure, sure. Being on your own, learning how to lead or defend yourself as the case may be.当然，当然。独立生活，学会如何领导或在需要时保护自己。
Elon MuskWell, yeah, I mean if you join the workforce, you know, from the perspective of like, you know, 19 year old with a bunch of old people and if you’re doing engineering with a bunch of middle aged dudes, it’s like you really want to do that or do you want to hang out with, you know, where there’s at least some girls your age type of thing. I want to get back to this when we talk about a lot of—嗯，对，我是说，如果你加入职场，站在一个 19 岁年轻人的角度，周围都是中年人，如果你是跟一群中年男人搞工程，你真的想这样吗？还是说你更想跟，你知道，至少有些同龄女生这类的情况待在一起。这个话题我还想回来聊，有很多——
Dave BlundinOther choices actually I want to get—其实我还有别的问题想聊——
Peter DiamandisBack as we get to universal high income. But I want to talk about health and longevity. One second. US is the number one ranked number one in health expenses worldwide and it’s ranked 70th in health span, right?等我们聊到全民高收入的时候再说。但我想先聊一聊健康和长寿。说一件事。美国在全球医疗支出中排名第一，但健康年龄跨度排名第 70，对吗？
Elon MuskOh really? 70th?真的吗？第 70 名？
Peter Diamandis70th. Is that from Grok?第 70。这是 Grok 查的吗？
Elon MuskIs that accurate?这准确吗？
Peter DiamandisEverybody listen.大家听好了。
Dave BlundinSounds low.听起来排名太低了。
Elon MuskI think we’d be better than 70th for health span.我觉得在健康跨度上我们应该排到第 70 名之前吧。
Peter DiamandisYeah, well whatever.对，随便吧。
Elon MuskIt’s like we just get fat or something. We’re not the top 10. Maybe Ozempic can help us find the rankings there to just run around. We need Ozempic but Ozempic, Mounjaro, Ozempic. But I think that’s a big reason. It’s like if people get really fat, then their health gets bad.好像就是肥胖或者什么的原因。反正我们进不了前 10。也许 Ozempic 能帮我们提升一下排名。我们需要 Ozempic——Ozempic、Mounjaro、Ozempic。但我觉得这是很大的原因，就是人太胖了，健康就垮了。
Peter DiamandisYeah, well, if you don’t have any exercise, health gets bad. Or if they eat donuts for breakfast every morning. You still doing that?是啊，没有运动健康就糟了。或者每天早上吃甜甜圈。你还在这么干吗？
Elon MuskNo, actually I’m not.不，其实没有了。
Peter DiamandisOkay, that’s good.好，那还不错。
Elon MuskFirst of all, I wasn’t eating a lot of donut. I was trying to have 0.4 of a donut, which rounds down to zero. Anything below 0.44 of a donut rounds down to zero.首先，我也没有吃很多甜甜圈。我当时是想吃 0.4 个甜甜圈，四舍五入就是零。0.44 个甜甜圈以下都四舍五入到零。
Elon MuskThe Longevity Debate长寿之争
Peter DiamandisSo you and I have had a disagreement on longevity.你和我在长寿问题上有点分歧。
Elon MuskA little bit. Yeah.有一点。对。
Peter DiamandisI was saying, you know, we should push to get people to 120, 150. And you were saying people, you know, die, shouldn’t live that long.我说，我们应该努力让人活到 120、150 岁。而你的意思是人嘛，死亡是自然的，不应该活那么久。
Elon MuskSo how long do you want? Yeah, there’s some, you know, people in the world that have done some bad things. How long do you want them to live?那你想活多久？对，世界上有些人做过一些坏事。你想让他们活多久？
Peter DiamandisYeah, well, it’s okay.哈，好吧。
Elon MuskWell, what’s going to get the longevity? This is a serious question though.不过，什么东西会带来长寿？这是个严肃的问题。
Dave BlundinA lot of things are going to happen that we don’t—会发生很多我们意想不到的事情——
Peter DiamandisOne thing that you said was interesting. You said we need people to die so people change their minds.你说过一句话挺有意思的。你说我们需要人们死去，才能让观念改变。
Elon MuskOh, yes. People don’t change their minds.哦，对。人是不会改变想法的。
Dave BlundinThey just stop.他们只是停下来了。
Peter DiamandisMy response to that, Elon, was—my response to that was the head of GM didn’t have to die for Tesla to come along and Lockheed and Northrop and Boeing didn’t have to go away for—I mean, in a meritocracy, the better ideas will dominate. So I’m hoping that I can get you back onto the longevity train. So there’s a lot going on in longevity right now, right?Elon，我对此的回应是——我的回应是，GM 的总裁不需要死去，Tesla 才能出现；Lockheed、Northrop 和 Boeing 也不需要消失，才能——我的意思是，在精英竞争中，更好的想法会胜出。所以我希望能把你重新拉回长寿这辆车上。现在长寿领域有很多进展，对吗？
Elon MuskLike what?比如什么？
Elon MuskBreakthrough Longevity Technologies长寿技术突破
Peter DiamandisWell, David Sinclair is about to start his epigenetic reprogramming trials in humans. It’s worked in animals and non-human primates. It’s going into humans.嗯，David Sinclair 即将开始他的表观遗传重编程人体试验。这在动物和非人灵长类动物中已经奏效，现在要进入人体试验阶段了。
Elon MuskHow is this like a pill or—这是像一颗药那样，还是——
Peter DiamandisAn injection. Right now it’s an injection of an adeno-associated virus. It’s the three Yamanaka factors. Okay, we’ve got a $101 million Healthspan XPRIZE that’s working on 730 teams working on reversing the age of your brain, immune system and muscle by 20 years. By the way, do you know why it’s $101 million?是注射。目前是注射腺相关病毒。用的是三种 Yamanaka 因子。好，我们还有一个 $101 million 的 Healthspan XPRIZE，有 730 个团队参与，目标是让你的大脑、免疫系统和肌肉的年龄逆转 20 年。顺便问一下，你知道为什么是 $101 million 吗？
Elon MuskNo.不知道。
Peter DiamandisBecause the primary funder, when they found out your Carbon XPRIZE was 100 bucks, he wanted to make it bigger. So it’s 101. It was Chip Wilson from Lululemon.因为主要赞助人发现你的 Carbon XPRIZE 是 1 亿美元，他想让这个更大。所以变成了 101。他是来自 Lululemon 的 Chip Wilson。
Elon MuskOh, okay.哦，好。
Peter DiamandisAnd then Hevolution out of—but Chip said, can we make it bigger? I said, you put extra million and we’ll make 101 million.然后 Hevolution 也来自——但 Chip 说，我们能不能搞大一点？我说，你再多出一百万，我们就搞成 101 百万。
Elon MuskSounds good.听起来不错。
Peter DiamandisIt’s a good story. But then we’ve got folks like Dario Amodei predicting doubling the human lifespan in the next 10 years.是个好故事。但我们还有像 Dario Amodei 这样的人预测未来 10 年人类寿命将翻倍。
Elon MuskSo that’s probably correct.这个很可能是对的。
Peter DiamandisOkay, great.好，太好了。
Elon MuskI don’t know about doubling, but significant increase.翻倍我不敢说，但大幅增加是有可能的。
Dave BlundinWhich is easily escape velocity.那很容易就达到逃逸速度了。
Elon MuskI mean, yeah. Depending on how old you are. Yeah.嗯，对。取决于你现在的年龄。对。
Dave BlundinOh, yeah, for sure. Or effective age. Yeah, yeah, yeah.哦，那肯定的。或者说有效年龄。对对对。
Peter DiamandisSo I mean, I think, you know—所以我是说，我觉得，你知道——
Elon MuskI think that for too much to turn into a baby or something.我想如果剂量过大会变回婴儿什么的。
Dave BlundinThat’s why I’m telling all the students—所以我才一直跟学生们说——
Elon MuskIt’s like, Peter, what happened? Yes, yes.就像，Peter，这是怎么了？是是是。
Dave BlundinThere is a frozen entire—有一个完整的冷冻——
Elon MuskYou got a zero wrong in the dosage. Just a small factor of 10.你剂量多打了一个零，差了 10 倍而已，小事。
Dave BlundinGrow out of it, it’ll be fine.长大了就好了，没事的。
Elon MuskExactly. You won’t remember it.没错。你也不会记得的。
Dave BlundinLiter.升。
Elon MuskI mean, wouldn’t it be funny if we do this in like 10 years? Okay, we should do it in 10. We’ll do it in 10 years for sure. And let’s see if we look younger. That’s a good side bet.我是说，要是我们 10 年后再做这件事会不会很好笑？好的，我们应该 10 年后再做。10 年后一定要搞一次。到时候看看我们是不是更年轻了。这是个好的附带赌注。
Elon MuskThe Realities of Aging衰老的真实面貌
Peter DiamandisMy comment was always back then Elon was like, you know, late 40s. Wait till he gets into his 60s. He’s going to want longevity more.我当时的评论是，Elon 那时候，你知道，还是快 50 岁的样子。等他进了 60 岁，他就会更想要长寿了。
Elon MuskI mean, I want things to not hurt.我是说，我希望事情不要那么痛。
Peter DiamandisYeah, sure.对，当然。
Elon MuskOf course.当然了。
Dave BlundinIt’s like—就像是——
Elon MuskIt’s like, basically it seems like it’s only a matter of time before you get back pain.感觉就像，腰痛是迟早的事。
Peter DiamandisYeah.是啊。
Elon MuskLike it’s a when, not an if. When you’re backwards.不是会不会的问题，是什么时候的问题。迟早会来的。
Peter DiamandisArthritis. Yes.关节炎。对。
Elon MuskYeah.是。
Peter DiamandisLike these things suck.这些东西真的很烦。
Elon MuskBasically, being able to sleep through the night without going to the bathroom. A little lot for that one.基本上，能一觉睡到天亮不用去厕所。就冲这一条就值得努力了。
Dave BlundinYeah.是啊。
Elon MuskIt’s more than hope, that one. Oh, man, that would—that’s like the infinite money one.这不只是希望，这一条更甚于此。哦，天呐，那简直是——那是无限金钱级别的需求。
Peter DiamandisWhy did you invest in longevity? So I could sleep through the night.你为什么投资长寿？这样我就能睡整觉了。
Elon MuskAnd not go to the bathroom. Bladder. Bladder duration. I mean, admittedly, if you have to wear adult diapers, that’s a bummer.而且不用起来上厕所。膀胱。膀胱续航时间。我是说，说实话，如果要穿成人尿不湿，那真的很惨。
Dave BlundinThat’s not good.那可不好受。
Elon MuskAdult diapers are real. It’s like one of the signs that a country—it’s not on the right path. It’s when the adult diapers exceed the baby diapers.成人尿不湿是真实存在的问题。这就像是一个国家——偏离了正确轨道的标志之一，就是成人尿不湿的销量超过婴儿尿不湿的那一天。
Peter DiamandisYeah, we’re there.对，我们已经到了。
Elon MuskYeah.是的。
Dave BlundinSouth Korea will be there.韩国也快了。
Peter DiamandisThey’ve already—他们已经——
Elon MuskNo, they passed that point.不，他们已经过了那个临界点了。
Dave BlundinAre they past that point?他们已经过了？
Elon MuskThe best point. Many years ago. Japan passed the point many years ago.早就过了。日本多年前就过了那个临界点。
Dave BlundinDoesn’t go well looking at the Japanese economy.看日本经济走势，情况不妙。
Dave BlundinThe Population Crisis人口危机
Elon MuskNo, I mean, like, South Korea is like—yeah, one-third replacement rate.是啊，我是说，韩国的状况就是——对，只有三分之一的人口替代率。
Peter DiamandisYeah.对。
Elon MuskIsn’t that crazy? Yeah. So three generations, they’re going to be one-27th. So 3% of their current size. I mean, North Korea won’t need to invade. They can just walk across. Yeah, yeah. There’s going to be some people in, you know, walkers or something.这不疯狂吗？对。所以三代之后，他们会缩减到当前规模的二十七分之一。也就是 3%。我是说，朝鲜根本不需要入侵。走过来就行了。对，到时候可能会有一些坐轮椅或者什么的人。
Dave BlundinThere’ll be a bunch of Optimus robots.到时候会有一堆 Optimus 机器人。
Peter DiamandisBut you, you know, you’ve been very verbal about the, you know, the—not overpopulation, but massive underpopulation.但你，你知道，你一直大声疾呼说，不是过度人口，而是严重的人口不足。
Elon MuskYeah. For ages. Yeah.对，说了很多年了。
Peter DiamandisLongevity is going to be an important part of that solution. I also think, by the way, if you increased the productive life of most Americans by just a few years, you’d flip the entire economics here.长寿将是这个问题解决方案的重要组成部分。我还认为，顺便说一句，如果你把大多数美国人的有效工作年限延长哪怕只是几年，你就能彻底翻转整个经济账。
Elon MuskWell, if they’re willing to work, AI and robots is going to make everything—嗯，如果他们愿意工作的话，AI 和机器人会让一切变得——
Peter DiamandisSure.当然。
Elon MuskFree, basically. Yeah. But—well, how long would you want to live?基本上免费的。对。但——好，那你想活多久？
Peter DiamandisI want to—I want to go, you know, other planetary systems. I want to go explore the universe.我想——我想去探索其他星系。我想探索宇宙。
Elon MuskYeah.是啊。
Peter DiamandisI mean, you know, I would like to double my lifespan for sure. I don’t want, you know, I’m not sure I wanted to talk about immortality, but, you know, at least 120, 150. It’s a long time.我是说，你知道，我想把寿命翻倍，那是肯定的。我不确定我想谈论永生，但至少活到 120、150 岁。那也是很长的时间了。
Elon MuskOne of the worst curses possible would—最糟糕的诅咒之一可能会是——
Peter DiamandisBe that, yes, may you live forever.就是那个，愿你长命百岁。
Elon MuskMay you live forever.愿你长命百岁。
Peter DiamandisYeah.是的。
Elon MuskThat would be one of the worst—那将会是最糟糕的——
Peter DiamandisYeah.是的。
Elon MuskCurses you could possibly give anyone.你能给任何人的诅咒之一。
Elon MuskSpeedrunning Star Trek速通《星际迷航》
Peter DiamandisBut I think life’s going to get very interesting.但我觉得生活会变得非常有趣。
Dave BlundinYeah.是的。
Peter DiamandisFar more. We’re going to speedrun Star Trek, as my partner Alex Wiesner-Gross says.非常非常有趣。我们要速通 Star Trek，就像我的合伙人 Alex Wiesner-Gross 说的那样。
Elon MuskYeah, speedrunning Star Trek would be cool.对，速通 Star Trek 会很酷。
Dave BlundinYeah. Well, at a minimum, your kids will have infinite life expectancy. If you’re talking about escape velocity, if you can double lifespan, it’s not even close. You’re clearly past longevity escape velocity. The idea of 50 years of AI improvement—是的。而且最起码，你的孩子们将拥有无限的预期寿命。如果你谈的是逃逸速度，如果寿命能翻倍，那根本不是接近而是远超长寿逃逸速度。想象一下 50 年的 AI 进步——
Elon MuskYeah.是的。
Peter DiamandisI mean, we’re going to have 20 years.我是说，我们会有 20 年。
Elon MuskI don’t know. I got too many fish to fry.不知道。我有太多事要操心了。
Peter DiamandisSo I invited—所以我邀请了——
Peter DiamandisThe Biology of Aging衰老的生物学
Elon MuskThis is something, by the way, that I—that I think I just—I think it’s very—obviously other people think this too, but I’ve long thought that like, like longevity or semi-immortality is an extremely solvable problem. I don’t think it’s a particularly hard problem.有一件事，顺便说一下，我——我觉得我就是——我认为这个问题非常——显然其他人也这么想，但我一直觉得，长寿或者说半永生是一个极其可解的问题。我不认为它特别难解。
Elon MuskI mean, when you consider the fact that your body is extremely synchronized in its age. Yeah. The clock must be incredibly obvious. Nobody has an old left arm and a young right arm. Why is that? What’s keeping them all in sync? You’re programmed to die is the way you’re programmed to die. And so if you change the program, you will live longer.我是说，想想你的身体在年龄上是高度同步的这个事实。对，这个时钟一定是极其显而易见的。没有人一只左臂老、一只右臂年轻。为什么呢？是什么让它们保持同步？你是被编程为会死亡的——就是这样你被编程为会死亡。所以如果你改变这个程序，你就会活得更久。
Peter DiamandisAnd we’ve got, you know, species of—the bowhead whale can live for 200 years. The Greenland shark live for 500 years. And when I, when I learned that, I said, why can they? Why can’t we? And I said it’s either a hardware problem or software problem and we’re going to have the tech to solve that. And I do believe that is this next decade. So the important thing is not to die from something stupid before the—before the solutions come. You know, I invited you—我们还有一些——弓头鲸可以活 200 年。格陵兰鲨可以活 500 年。当我了解到这些时，我说，它们为什么能？我们为什么不能？我说这要么是硬件问题要么是软件问题，而我们将会有技术来解决它。而且我相信就是这十年之内。所以最重要的是，别在解决方案到来之前因为什么蠢事而死掉，你知道，我邀请你——
Elon MuskIn retrospect, the solution to longevity will seem obvious. Extremely obvious.回头来看，长寿的解决方案会显得极其显而易见，极其简单。
Dave BlundinI think the thing worth working on and Peter’s going to work on this anyway. But the thing to work on is exactly what you said. If old ideas don’t calcify, old ideas don’t just die off. Add that to the pile of things we need to think about today. Because there are a whole host of other AI related things we need to think about today.我觉得值得攻关的事——Peter 不管怎样都会去做的——值得攻关的正是你所说的。如果旧观念不随着人们死去而消亡，旧观念就不会消失。把这个加进我们今天需要思考的问题清单里。因为有一整个 AI 相关的议题我们今天需要思考。
Peter DiamandisLet me finish on the longevity point. One second, Elon. I want to invite you again. So there’s a company called Fountain Life that I created with Tony Robbins, Bob Hariri, and Bill Capp. And we do a 200 gigabyte upload of you—everything knowable about you, full genome, all imaging, everything.让我在长寿这个话题上再说最后一点。等一下，Elon。我想再次邀请你。有一家公司叫 Fountain Life，是我和 Tony Robbins、Bob Hariri、Bill Capp 一起创立的。我们会对你进行 200 GB 的数据上传——一切关于你的可知信息，完整基因组、所有影像检查，一切都有。
Elon MuskRight.对。
Peter DiamandisPresident Bukele and the first lady came through, called it an amazing 10 out of 10 experience. I don’t want you to pull a Steve Jobs and kick the bucket because of some curable cancer. I mean, do you actually know what’s going on inside your body right now?Bukele 总统和第一夫人也来体验过，称其为满分 10 分的绝佳体验。我不希望你像 Steve Jobs 那样因为一个可以治愈的癌症而离世。我是说，你现在真的知道自己身体里面是什么状况吗？
Elon MuskI did an MRI recently and submitted it to Grok and none of the doctors nor Grok found anything.我最近做了一次 MRI，把结果提交给了 Grok，医生们和 Grok 都没有发现任何异常。
Peter DiamandisBut that’s a fraction of the information, right? I mean, it’s your full genome, your microbiome, metabolome, everything. And it’s possible—但那只是一小部分信息，对吗？我是说，还有你的完整基因组、微生物组、代谢组，全部都有。而且有可能——
Elon MuskDon’t call me.别来找我。
Peter DiamandisWhat’s that?什么？
Elon MuskDon’t call me, bro.别来找我，兄弟。
Dave BlundinWe have a center in your water bottle.我们已经在你的水瓶里放了一个传感器。
Elon MuskGod damn it. Too late, sorry.该死。太晚了，抱歉。
Dave BlundinIt’s already in the works.已经在进行中了。
Peter DiamandisSo can you go through the rationale of UHI? How does universal high income work?那你能解释一下 UHI（全民高收入）的逻辑吗？全民高收入是怎么运作的？
Elon MuskOkay, so there’s going to be more digital intelligence than all human intelligence combined and more humanoid robots than all humans. And assuming we’re in a benign scenario—Star Trek, Roddenberry, not Cameron situation.好，所以未来数字智能的总量将超过所有人类智能的总和，而人形机器人的数量将超过所有人类。假设我们处于一个良性的场景下——Star Trek、Roddenberry，而不是 Cameron 那种情况。
Peter DiamandisYeah. Poor Jim.对。可怜的 Jim。
Elon MuskYeah, I mean, I guess it’s important to have these sort of counterpoints. Yeah, let’s not go in that direction.是啊，我想这些反面案例也很重要。对，总之我们不要走那条路。
Elon MuskThe robots are going to just do whatever you want.机器人会做你想要的任何事。
Peter DiamandisAll the blue collar labor is being done by robots. All data centers are being done by robots.所有蓝领劳动都由机器人完成。所有数据中心都由机器人运营。
Elon MuskWell, the white collar labor will be the first to go. Because until you can move atoms, the thing that can be replaced first is anything that involves just digital work. Even if it involves tapping keys on a keyboard and moving a mouse, the computer can do that. The AI can do that.嗯，其实白领劳动会第一个消失。因为在你能够移动原子之前，最先被取代的是任何只涉及数字工作的事情。哪怕是敲键盘、移动鼠标这类事，计算机都可以做到。AI 可以做到。
Peter DiamandisSure.当然。
Elon MuskYou need the humanoid robots to shape atoms. So if all you’re doing is changing bits of information, which is white collar work, that is the first thing that goes.你需要人形机器人来操控原子。所以如果你做的只是改变信息比特——也就是白领工作——那是最先消失的。
Peter DiamandisThis is the inspirational part of the podcast, by the way. When is all white collar work gone by?这是本期播客的励志环节，顺便说一句。所有白领工作什么时候会消失？
Elon MuskWell, there’s a lot of inertia. So even with AI at its current state, I’d say you’re pretty close to being able to replace half of all jobs.嗯，有很大的惯性。就算以 AI 现在的水平，我也会说你已经相当接近可以替代一半所有工作了。
Peter DiamandisAnd you know that.而你知道这一点。
Elon MuskWhite collar jobs. That includes anything like education too. So anything that involves information and anything short of shaping atoms, AI can do probably half or more of those jobs right now.白领工作。这包括教育类的工作。所以任何涉及信息、任何不需要操控原子的事情，AI 现在可能已经能做其中一半甚至更多的工作了。
Peter DiamandisSure.当然。
Elon MuskBut there’s a lot of inertia. People just keep doing the same thing for quite some time. And there actually has to be a company that makes more use of AI that competes with a company that makes less use of AI, creating a forcing function for increased use of AI. Otherwise the company that still has humans do things that AI can do will still continue to exist.但惯性很大。人们会在相当长的时间里继续做同样的事情。而且实际上需要有一家公司更多地使用 AI，去跟那些少用 AI 的公司竞争，形成一个倒逼机制，推动 AI 使用量的增加。否则，那些仍然让人类做 AI 能做的事的公司还是会继续存在。
Elon MuskBeing a computer used to be a job. So it used to be that a human computer—a computer being a computer was a job. You would compute numbers.「计算机」曾经是一种职业。过去，人类计算机——就是作为计算机的人——是一份工作。你就是负责计算数字的。
Peter DiamandisSure.当然。
Elon MuskIt didn’t used to be a machine. It used to be a job description. And you can look online, there’s these pictures of skyscrapers full of women copying—mostly women copying from ledger to ledger.那不是一台机器，而是一个职位名称。你可以在网上找到那些照片，整栋摩天大楼里全是女性在做账本到账本的抄录——基本上是女性在做这种账本对账的工作。
Peter DiamandisRight.对。
Elon MuskBut people—it was a lot of women, but there were just buildings full of people just at desks doing calculations. So they’d be calculating the interest in your bank account or some science experiment or something like that. But if you want calculations done, people would do it.但那时候——有很多女性，但整栋整栋楼里都是人，就坐在桌前做计算。他们在算你银行账户里的利息，或者做某个科学实验的计算之类的。总之，只要你需要计算，就得靠人来做。
Elon MuskSo now one laptop with a spreadsheet can outperform a skyscraper of several hundred human computers of people doing calculations. Now, if even a few cells in that spreadsheet were done manually, you would not be able to compete with a spreadsheet that was entirely a computer. What this means is that companies that are entirely AI will demolish companies that are not. It won’t be a contest.现在一台笔记本电脑加一张电子表格，就能超越一栋摩天大楼里几百个人肉计算机。而且，哪怕电子表格里只有几个格子是手动填的，你就根本没法跟一张纯电脑表格竞争。这意味着什么？意味着全面拥抱 AI 的公司，会把那些没有的公司打得落花流水，根本不是一个量级。
Peter DiamandisAgreed. And that’s the flipping.同意。这就是那个翻转点。
Elon MuskYeah.对。
Dave BlundinJust one cell and that—就一个格子，然后就——
Elon MuskJust one. Would you want even one cell in your spreadsheet to be manually calculated? That would be the most annoying cell. And you’re like, “God damn it.” And it gets it wrong a bunch of the time.就一个。你真的愿意让你的电子表格里有一个格子是手动算的吗？那肯定是最烦人的一个格子。你会忍不住骂，"他妈的。" 而且它还老算错。
Peter DiamandisSo this flippening—那么这个翻转——
Elon MuskAre we monetizing hope? Effectively, yes. Not this moment.我们是在把希望变现吗？实际上，差不多吧。不是现在这一刻。
Peter DiamandisI think we’re at peak doom where people are worried about the future of their jobs. We’re at peak doom.我觉得我们正处于恐慌峰值，大家都在担心自己的工作前景。我们就在这个"末日恐慌"的顶点。
Dave BlundinWe’re going to do that shirt.我们要做那件衬衫。
Elon MuskAnd a mug. And a mug. Yes.还有马克杯。马克杯。对。
Peter DiamandisBut you have a solution to this which is UHI?但你有个解决方案，就是 UHI？
Elon MuskYes. Everyone can have whatever they want.对。每个人都能得到他们想要的一切。
Peter DiamandisSo how does that work? How does UHI work?那怎么实现呢？UHI 是怎么运作的？
Elon MuskIt’s a good question. We have to figure out some—问题问得好。我们得想出某种——
Peter DiamandisI mean it’s not a—I mean, so my concern isn’t the long run, it’s the next three to seven years.我的意思是，这不是说……我担心的不是长远，而是接下来的三到七年。
Elon MuskYes. The transition will be bumpy.对。过渡期会很颠簸。
Peter DiamandisWe humans don’t like—我们人类不喜欢——
Elon MuskYes. We’ll have radical change, social unrest and immense prosperity simultaneously.对。我们将同时迎来剧烈变革、社会动荡和巨大繁荣。
Peter DiamandisAnd you can buy all the Cybertrucks you want.你可以随心所欲地买 Cybertruck 了。
Elon MuskThings are going to get very cheap.东西会变得非常便宜。
Peter DiamandisYes.对。
Elon MuskSo this is actually—frankly, if this doesn’t happen, we’d go bankrupt as a country. So the national debt is enormous.其实这是——坦率地说，如果这一切没有发生，我们整个国家都会破产。国家债务已经庞大到了极点。
Peter DiamandisYeah.是啊。
Elon MuskThe interest on the national debt exceeds not just the military budget, but the military budget, I think plus Medicare or Medicaid, one of the two. It’s like one point something trillion of interest which is growing.国家债务的利息不仅超过了军费预算，还超过了军费加上 Medicare 或 Medicaid 中的一个——我记不清是哪个了。大概是 1 点几万亿的利息，而且还在持续增长。
Dave BlundinYes.是的。
Elon MuskAnd the deficit is growing. But so if we don’t have AI and robots, we’re all going to go bankrupt and we’re headed for economic doom.而且财政赤字还在扩大。所以如果我们没有 AI 和机器人，我们都会走向破产，走向经济崩溃。
Dave BlundinWe’re going to have competitive pressure from China. So this is definitely going to happen.而且还有来自中国的竞争压力。所以这件事肯定会发生。
Peter DiamandisI guess we’re going back to the theme of this talk. How can AI and exponential tech save America and the world?我想我们回到了这次演讲的主题：AI 和指数级技术如何拯救美国和世界？
Dave BlundinDon’t you think that—你难道不觉得——
Peter DiamandisBut I want to hit this because—但我想深入这个问题，因为——
Elon MuskI was quite pessimistic about it. Ultimately I decided to be fatalistic and look on the bright side of life. You’re sitting down the yellow crucified.我以前对这件事相当悲观。最终我决定顺其自然，看看生活光明的一面。就像坐在那根黄色十字架上往下看一样。
Peter DiamandisBut this is not about taxation and redistribution.但这不是关于征税和再分配的问题。
Elon MuskNo, it’s—不，这是——
Peter DiamandisSo how does it work? Reason through it with me.那怎么实现呢？跟我一起梳理一下逻辑。
Elon MuskListen, by the way, I’m open to ideas here.听着，顺便说一句，我对这方面是开放的，欢迎大家提意见。
Peter DiamandisOkay.好。
Elon MuskSo it’s not like I got this all figured out.所以这不是说我已经把一切都想透了。
Peter DiamandisSo I’m wondering if instead of universal high income, if it’s universal high stuff.我在想，与其说是全民高收入，不如说是全民高"东西"。
Dave BlundinYeah.对。
Peter DiamandisAnd services.还有服务。
Elon MuskYes.对。
Peter DiamandisUHSS. We got it.UHSS。就这么定了。
Elon MuskI guess—okay, this is my guess for how things roll out, play out. And by the way, this is going to be a bumpy ride. And it’s not like I know the answers here, but I have decided to look on the bright side and I’d like to thank you guys for being an inspiration in this regard.好吧——这是我对事情如何演变的一个猜测。顺便说一句，这将会是一段颠簸的旅程。我不是说我知道所有答案，但我已经决定往好的方面看，我也想感谢你们在这方面给了我启发。
Peter DiamandisThank you.谢谢你。
Dave BlundinHappy to help.很高兴能帮上忙。
Elon MuskYeah, I actually think it is better to be an optimist and wrong than a pessimist and right. For quality of life, by the way.对，我确实觉得，就生活质量而言，做个乐观主义者然后判断错误，比做个悲观主义者然后判断正确要好。顺便说一下。
Dave BlundinIt’s also not a force of nature. It’s under—like to me it’s really clear that we don’t have any system right now to make this go well. But AI is a critical part of making it go well. And at some point Grok is going to be addressing this exact topic that we’re talking about or has to be one of the big four AI machines. I mean it’s coming, dealing with it.这也不是什么自然规律。这取决于——对我来说很清楚，我们现在根本没有任何系统能让这一切顺利推进。但 AI 是让它顺利推进的关键。在某个时间点，Grok 将会直接讨论我们现在聊的这个话题，或者它必须成为四大 AI 中的一员。我是说这一切都在来的路上，正在处理这个问题。
Peter DiamandisOtherwise no velocity knob.否则就没有速度旋钮可调。
Dave BlundinRight.对。
Peter DiamandisThere’s no on-off switch. It is coming and accelerating.没有开关。它就是在来，而且在加速。
Elon MuskI call AI and robotics the supersonic tsunami. Which maybe is a little alarming. It’s good because it’s a wake-up call.我把 AI 和机器人称为超音速海啸。这个说法也许有点吓人。但好处是能让人警醒。
Elon MuskThe Economics of Radical Abundance极度丰裕时代的经济学
Peter DiamandisThis is important for folks to grok because I don’t want to leave people depressed. I want people to understand what’s coming. So we’re basically demonetizing everything. I mean labor becomes the cost of capex and electricity. AI is basically intelligence available at a de minimis price. So you’re able to produce almost anything. Things get down to basic cost of materials, electricity. So people can have whatever stuff they want, whatever services they need. It’s not—when we say universal high income, it sounds like it’s a tax and redistribute, but that’s not the case.这一点对大家来说很重要，因为我不想让人们感到沮丧，我想让人们明白将要发生什么。我们基本上是在把一切都去货币化。劳动力的成本将变为资本支出和电力成本。AI 本质上是以极低价格获得的智能。所以你几乎可以生产任何东西，东西的成本降至基本的材料和电力成本。人们可以得到他们想要的任何物品、任何服务。当我们说全民高收入时，听起来像是征税再分配，但实际情况并非如此。
Elon MuskIt’s—I think my best guess for how this will manifest is that prices will drop.我觉得——我对这一切如何显现的最佳猜测是：价格会下降。
Peter DiamandisYeah.对。
Elon MuskSo as the efficiency of production or the provision of services increases, prices will drop. I mean, prices in dollar terms are the ratio between the output of goods and services and the money supply.随着生产效率或服务供给效率的提升，价格会下降。我的意思是，以美元计价的价格，是商品和服务产出与货币供应量之间的比值。
Peter DiamandisSure.当然。
Elon MuskSo if your output of goods and services increases faster than the money supply, you will have deflation or vice versa.所以如果你的商品和服务产出增长速度快于货币供应量的增速，就会出现通缩，反之亦然。
Dave BlundinIt’s a good thing we’re growing the money supply so quickly then, right?那还好，幸好我们的货币供应量扩张得这么快，对吧？
Elon MuskWell, yes, that’s why I came—let’s not worry about growing the money supply will matter because the output of goods and services actually will grow faster than the money supply. And I think we’ll be in this—and this is a prediction I think some others have made, but I will add to it—which is that I think governments will actually be pushing to increase money supply faster. They won’t be able to waste the money fast enough, which is saying something.嗯，是的，这就是我……先别操心货币供应量增长这个问题，因为商品和服务的产出实际上增长速度会比货币供应量快。我认为我们会进入这样一种状态——这是一个我认为其他人也提过的预测，我来补充一下——政府实际上会拼命想办法加快货币供应增速。他们会发现自己的钱花不完，这话本身就挺说明问题的了。
Dave BlundinIsn’t it crazy how close those timelines just randomly worked out? I mean, at the rate we’re expanding the national debt, not because we’re anticipating AI—we were going to do that no matter what.你不觉得这些时间线随机对上了很神奇吗？我是说，按照我们扩张国家债务的速度，这可不是因为预料到了 AI——我们不管怎样都会这么做的。
Elon MuskYes.对。
Dave BlundinAnd it’s like right on the edge of becoming Argentina.而且就在要变成阿根廷的边缘。
Elon MuskBut yeah. So productivity is going to improve dramatically. And it is improving dramatically. I think we’ll see—I think we may see high double digit output of goods and services. We have to be a little careful about how economists measure things.但是，生产力正在大幅提升，而且确实在大幅提升。我认为我们将会看到——商品和服务产出可能会出现两位数的高速增长。不过我们得稍微注意一下经济学家是怎么衡量这些东西的。
Dave BlundinYes.是的。
Elon MuskGDP. I mean, it’s like my favorite joke. I have a few economist jokes that I like. But maybe my favorite economist joke is two economists are going for a walk in the forest and they come across a pile of shit. And one economist says, “I’ll pay you 100 bucks to eat a pile of shit.” I’ve heard this one.GDP 嘛。我最喜欢的一个笑话——我有几个经济学家笑话。但可能我最喜欢的那个是：两个经济学家在森林里散步，然后看到一堆屎。其中一个说，"我给你 100 块，你去吃那堆屎。" 我听过这个。
Peter DiamandisThis is great.太棒了。
Peter DiamandisThe Economics of Abundance丰裕时代的经济学
Elon MuskAnd so the guy takes 100 bucks and eats the shit. Then they keep walking, they come across another pile of shit. And the other guy says, okay, I’ll give you 100 bucks to eat a pile of shit. So he gives them 100 bucks. And then the guys could say, wait a second, we both have the same amount of money. We both ate a pile. Oh my God, it’s like we increased the economy by $200.于是那个人拿了 100 块，把屎给吃了。然后他们继续往前走，又碰到了另一堆屎。另一个人说，好，我给你 100 块，你去吃这堆。于是他给了 100 块，那人就吃了。然后两人面面相觑：等等，我们俩的钱一样多，我们俩都吃了一堆屎。哦天哪，就好像我们让经济增长了 200 块钱。
Elon MuskThis is the kind of bullshit you get in economics. But if you say like just the output of goods and services will be much greater. You just need to.这就是经济学里会出现的那种扯淡。但如果你换个说法，比如商品和服务的产出会大得多，那就没问题了，你只需要——
Peter DiamandisSo profitability of companies go through the roof at some point. But no, but. So the question becomes, is that tax by the government, is that then taxed by the government and redistributed as some level of income as a UHI or UBI?公司的盈利能力在某个时间点会爆炸式增长。但是，但是，那么问题来了：这些利润会被政府征税然后以某种全民高收入或 UBI 的形式再分配吗？
Peter DiamandisIn other words, one of the questions is if in fact this future we hit massive productivity and massive profitability, because we’re dividing by zero, the cost of labor has gone to nothing. The cost of intelligence has gone to nothing. And we’re still producing products and services faster and faster. So there’s more profitability. Someone needs to be buying it and someone needs to be able to have the capital to buy it. I mean, this is an important question to get thought through.换句话说，问题之一是：如果我们真的达到了那个未来——巨大的生产力和巨大的盈利能力，因为除以了零，劳动力成本变成了零，智能成本变成了零，我们仍然在越来越快地生产产品和服务，利润越来越多——那么总得有人去购买它，也得有人有资本去购买。我是说，这是一个需要认真思考的重要问题。
Elon MuskYeah, well, one side recommendation I have is like, don’t worry about squirreling money away for retirement. In like 10 or 20 years it won’t matter.对，这个问题嘛，我有一个建议：就是别再为退休攒钱了。大概再过 10 年或 20 年，这件事就无所谓了。
Dave BlundinOkay.好。
Peter DiamandisEither we’re not going to be here.要么我们根本不会在了。
Elon MuskOr it just like you won’t need to save for retirement. If any of the things that we’ve said are true, saving for retirement will be irrelevant.或者说你根本不需要为退休存钱。如果我们说的这些事情有任何一件是真的，为退休储蓄将变得毫无意义。
Peter DiamandisServices will be there to support you. You’ll have the home, you’ll have the health care, you’ll have the entertainment.服务会来支撑你的生活。你会有住所、有医疗、有娱乐。
Dave BlundinThe way this unfolds is fundamentally impossible to predict because of self improvement of the AI and the accelerating timeline.这件事如何展开从根本上就无法预测，因为 AI 的自我改进以及不断加速的时间线。
Elon MuskYeah, it’s called singularity for a reason.对，这就叫奇点，不是没有原因的。
Dave BlundinYeah, exactly.对，没错。
Elon MuskI don’t know what goes have what happens after the event horizon.我不知道在事件视界之后会发生什么。
Dave BlundinExactly. You can never see past the black hole or the event horizon.正是。你永远无法看穿黑洞，也无法看穿事件视界。
Dave BlundinInside the Singularity奇点内部
Peter DiamandisThe light cone ray has a singularity out way too far. I mean this is like the next. What, what’s your timeline for this?光锥射线的奇点被推到了太遥远的地方。我是说，这就是下一个……你的时间线是什么？
Elon MuskWe’re in the singularity.我们正身处奇点之中。
Peter DiamandisWell, we are in the singularity for sure. We’re in the midst of it right now for sure. And it would just be.对，我们肯定处于奇点之中。我们现在正处于它的中间，这是肯定的。那它只不过是——
Dave BlundinWe’re in this beautiful sweet spot which.我们正处于这个美妙的甜蜜点，这个——
Elon MuskIs, you know, the roller coasters were just.就是，你知道，过山车刚刚——
Dave BlundinYeah, exactly. That’s a great analogy. It’s like that feeling you’re at the.对，没错。这个比喻太妙了。就像那种感觉，你到了——
Elon MuskTop of the roller coaster when you’re about to go.过山车顶端，就要俯冲下去的那一刻。
Dave BlundinYeah, but you know it’s going to be a lot of Gs when you hit it.对，但你知道冲下去的时候会有多少个 G 的力。
Elon MuskAnd it’s like people like I don’t have to just have courtside seats. I’m on the court.而且就像，人们说我不只是有场边座位，我就在球场上。
Dave BlundinExactly.没错。
Elon MuskAnd it blows my. And still blows my mind sometimes multiple times a week.这让我震惊，现在有时候每周都会震惊好几次。
Dave BlundinYeah.是。
Elon MuskAnd so just when I think I’m like wow. And then it’s like two days later more.就是当我以为"哇"的时候，两天之后又来了更多。
Dave BlundinWow.哇。
Peter DiamandisYeah, exponential wow.对，指数级的哇。
Dave BlundinYeah.对。
Dave BlundinAGI Timeline and Intelligence DensityAGI 时间线与智能密度
Elon MuskI think we’ll hit AGI next year in 2026.我认为我们明年，也就是 2026 年，会实现 AGI。
Peter DiamandisYeah, I heard you say that.对，我听你说过这个。
Elon MuskYeah, I’ve said that for a while actually.是的，其实我说这话已经有一段时间了。
Peter DiamandisAnd then, you know, and then you said by 2029, 2030, equivalent to the entire human race.然后，你说到 2029 年、2030 年，会相当于整个人类的智能总和。
Elon Musk2030, we exceed like I’m confident by 2030 AI will exceed the intelligence of all humans combined.2030 年，AI 将会超越——我有把握，到 2030 年，AI 的智能将超过所有人类的总和。
Dave BlundinThat’s way pessimistic. If you hit AGI next year and that data is in flux, but from that date to self improvements that are on the order of a thousand, 10,000x, just algorithmic improvements is very short.那个时间线太悲观了。如果明年就达到 AGI，那数据还在流动变化，但从那个时间点到算法层面上千倍、一万倍的自我改进，时间会非常短。
Peter DiamandisAnd so why isn’t everybody talking about this right now?那为什么现在不是所有人都在讨论这件事？
Elon MuskWell, I mean on X. On X they are.在 X 上面嘛，X 上有人在讨论。
Peter DiamandisYes, but why is every day basically.是，但为什么每天基本上——
Elon MuskYeah, but it’s up. Okay, so I’ll tell you something else that. I’ll tell you something that most people in the AI community don’t yet understand.对，但这在上升。好，我来告诉你另一件事，一件 AI 圈子里大多数人还没有意识到的事。
Peter DiamandisOkay.好。
Elon MuskWhich is almost no one understands this. The intelligence density potential is vastly greater than what we’re currently experiencing. So I think we’re off by tours of magnitude in terms of the intelligence density per gigabyte.几乎没有人理解这一点。每 gigabyte 的智能密度潜力远远超过我们现在所体验到的。我认为在每 gigabyte 的智能密度方面，我们差了好几个数量级。
Peter DiamandisWhat’s achievable.可以达到的上限。
Elon MuskYes.对。
Peter DiamandisPer gigawatt of energy per.每 gigawatt 能耗的，每——
Dave BlundinI’m sorry, file size.抱歉，是文件大小。
Peter DiamandisOkay.好。
Elon MuskIf the file size of the AI, if you, if you have a say, get intelligence.如果 AI 的文件大小——如果你，比方说，你获得了一个智能——
Peter DiamandisOkay, yeah, sure. On your, on your character.好，对，明白了，就你的设备而言。
Elon MuskOn your laptop power too. But yeah, whatever.在你的笔记本电源上也是。但是，不管怎么说。
Dave BlundinSo two, two orders of magnitude.所以，两个数量级。
Elon MuskYes.对。
Peter DiamandisYeah.好。
Dave BlundinAnd you, like you said, you ringside courtside seat. You would know.而且，就像你说的，你有场边的座位，你应该是了解的。
Dave BlundinYeah.对。
Elon MuskTours magnitude improvement. And that’s just, just algorithmic improvement. Same computer. And the computers are getting better. Yeah. So.好几个数量级的提升。而且那仅仅是算法上的改进，同样的计算机。而计算机本身也在变好，是的。所以——
Dave BlundinAnd bigger. You know, See, they’re getting better and the budgets are getting bigger.而且还在变大。你看，性能在提升，预算也在增加。
Elon MuskSo that’s why I think it’s, it is on. It is like a 10x improvement per year type of thing. Thousand percent. Yeah. And that’s going to happen for. Yeah. For the foreseeable future.所以这就是为什么我认为，这就是一种每年提升 10 倍的趋势。千分之百。对，这种情况将会持续下去。在可预见的未来都会如此。
Elon MuskThe Massive Underreaction严重低估的反应
Dave BlundinSo you see the massive underreaction. Like if you walk downtown Austin, the massive. I mean it may be under discussion in X, but it’s not percolating at all.所以你看到了这种严重的低估。就像你在 Austin 市中心走一走，那种严重的……我是说，X 上可能有讨论，但这根本没有渗透到普通人当中。
Peter DiamandisIt’s not discussion in any realm of government. Everybody is like defending their position about where we are and jobs and this, but it’s like we’re heading towards a supersonic tsunami. And I mean every, you know, every major CEO and economist and government leader should be like, what do we do? Because once it hits.在任何政府层面都没有讨论。每个人都在捍卫自己关于现状、就业、这那那那的立场，但我们正奔向一场超音速海啸。我是说，每一个主要的 CEO、经济学家和政府领导人都应该在问：我们该怎么办？因为一旦它来临——
Dave BlundinWell, it’s coming at the exact same time no matter what. There’s no concept of let’s deliberately slow down. Right?它不管怎样都会在同一时间到来，没有"让我们故意放慢脚步"这个选项，对吗？
Peter DiamandisNo, it’s impossible.不，不可能的。
Dave BlundinIt’s impossible at this stage.在这个阶段根本不可能。
Elon MuskI mean I, I previously advised that we slow it down, but that was point that that’s pointless. Like I, I like, you can’t.我的意思是，我以前也建议过放慢速度，但到了那个时间点，那已经是没有意义的了。就像，你根本做不到。
Peter DiamandisChina’s not going to be going to.中国不会去——
Elon MuskIt, but too fast.它，但太快了。
Dave BlundinGuys.各位。
Elon MuskI’ve said that many years and, and I was like, okay. Then I finally came to the conclusion I can either be a spectator or a participant, but I can’t stop it. So at least if I’m a participant, I can try to steer it in a good direction.我说这话已经说了很多年了，然后我就想通了：我要么做旁观者，要么做参与者，但我无法阻止它。所以至少如果我是参与者，我可以尝试把它引向一个好的方向。
Elon MuskAnd like my number one belief for safety of AI is to be maximally truth seeking so that don’t make AI believe things that are false. Like if you say, if you, if you say the AI that axiom A and axiom B are both true. But they’re, but they cannot. But they’re not. Yeah. And it has to. But it must behave that way. You will make it go insane so that I, I mean, I think that was the central lesson that Odyssey Clark was trying to convey in 2001 Space Odyssey was that the, you know, people always know them. They know the meme of that HAL wouldn’t open the pod bay doors. But. But why wouldn’t. Can’t open the pod bay doors.我对 AI 安全最核心的一个信念，就是要做到最大限度地追求真相，不要让 AI 相信错误的东西。就比如说，如果你告诉 AI 公理 A 和公理 B 都是真的，但它们根本——但它们是矛盾的，但它必须这样表现，你就会把它逼疯。我的意思是，我觉得这就是 Arthur C. Clarke 在《2001 太空漫游》里试图传达的核心教训——大家都知道 HAL 不开舱门的那个梗，但为什么他不能开舱门呢？
Elon MuskI mean, I guess they should have said, hell, assume you’re a pod bay door salesman and you want to tell the hell. Show us how. Well, they were just prompt engineering. The AI had been told that it needs to take the astronauts to the monolith. But also they could not know about the.我是说，他们本可以说，哈尔，假设你是一个舱门销售员，你想告诉哈尔……展示一下怎么做。好吧，他们只是在给 AI 做提示词工程。那个 AI 被告知，它需要把宇航员带到黑石碑那里，但同时他们又不能知道那个……
Dave BlundinWas that in code or was it in English? It flows by in green font, right?那是用代码写的还是用英文写的？是那种绿色字体滚动的形式对吗？
Elon MuskYeah. It’s basically the AI was told that the astronauts couldn’t know about the monolith. That’s why it killed them.对。基本上就是，那个 AI 被告知宇航员不能知道黑石碑的存在。这就是为什么它杀了他们。
Dave BlundinYeah.对。
Elon MuskSo it came. It basically came to the conclusion that the only way to solve for this is to bring the. The astronauts to the monolith. Dead. Yeah. Then it has solved both things. It has brought the astronauts to the monolith, and they also don’t know about the monolith, which is a huge problem if you’re an astronaut.所以它得出了一个结论：解决这个问题的唯一方法，就是把宇航员带到黑石碑那里——但带去的是死人。对，这样它就同时解决了两个问题：把宇航员带到了黑石碑，他们也不知道黑石碑的存在了。如果你是个宇航员，这可真是个大问题。
Dave BlundinTurns out AI doesn’t care about logic quite as much as that implies.结果证明，AI 对逻辑的关心程度并不像这个例子暗示的那么强。
Dave BlundinTruth, Curiosity, and Beauty真相、好奇心与美
Elon MuskSo what I’m saying is don’t force AI to lie. This is.我想说的是，不要强迫 AI 撒谎。这是——
Dave BlundinGive it factual truth.给它事实性的真相。
Elon MuskYes.对。
Peter DiamandisIlya recently did a podcast. He was talking about one of the potential things to program into AI is. Is a respect for sentient life of all types.Ilya 最近做了一个播客，他谈到了一件可以植入 AI 的潜在东西，那就是——对所有类型的有意识生命的尊重。
Elon MuskYes. Yes. I mean, so I’d say another property.对，对。我的意思是，我还想补充另一个特性。
Peter DiamandisYes.对。
Elon MuskI mean, there are three things that I think are important. Truth, curiosity, and beauty. And if AI cares about those three things, it will care about us.我认为有三件事很重要：真相、好奇心和美。如果 AI 在乎这三件事，它就会在乎我们。
Peter DiamandisOn which part?在哪个方面？
Elon MuskTruth will prevent AI from going insane. Curiosity, I think, will foster any form of sentience, meaning like, we are more interesting than a bunch of rocks. So if it has. If it’s curious, then I think it will foster humanity. And if it has a sense of beauty, it will be a great future. I think that’s a great foundation. Yeah.真相会防止 AI 发疯。好奇心，我认为，会让 AI 去珍视任何形式的意识——就是说，我们比一堆石头有趣多了。所以如果它有好奇心，我认为它会珍视人类。而如果它有美感，那未来将会是美好的。我认为这是一个很棒的基础。是的。
Peter DiamandisGeoffrey Hinton made a comment recently, I don’t know if you saw it, that his hopeful future was that we would program maternal instincts into our AIs to see us.Geoffrey Hinton 最近说了一段话，不知道你有没有看到，他说他最希望看到的未来是：我们把母性本能植入 AI，让它像母亲一样看待我们。
Elon MuskMaternal.母性本能。
Peter DiamandisYeah.是的。
Elon MuskIn other words, you haven’t heard that.也就是说，你没听说过这个。
Dave BlundinYeah.对。
Peter DiamandisSo he said.他说——
Dave BlundinA little scary.有点吓人。
Peter DiamandisHe said there’s a scenario where a very intelligent being succumbs to the needs of a less intelligent being, and that’s the mother taking care of the child. Do you think that we might have a singular ASI that. That achieves dominance and suppresses others. And do you imagine that. That ASI could be a means to stabilize the world and humanity?他说，有一种场景是这样的：一个极度聪明的存在会屈服于不那么聪明的存在的需求，就像母亲照顾孩子一样。你认为我们可能会出现一个单一的 ASI，它实现主导地位并压制其他 AI？你能想象这样的 ASI 可能会成为稳定世界和人类的一种力量吗？
Elon MuskDarwin’s observations about evolution.Darwin 关于进化的观察——
Peter DiamandisYes.是的。
Elon MuskWill apply to AI just as they apply to biological life.——同样适用于 AI，正如它适用于生物生命一样。
Peter DiamandisThey will compete with each other.它们会相互竞争。
Elon MuskYes.对。
Peter DiamandisThere’s a lot of great science fiction books where the first ASI basically suppresses the others. Then the question is, what do you program into it?有很多优秀的科幻小说，里面第一个 ASI 基本上会压制其他的。那么问题来了，你给它植入什么？
Elon MuskSo there’s a speed of light constraint that makes that difficult. The speed of light is what will prevent a single mine from existing. So light can. It takes a millisecond to travel 300km in Aerovacuum. And you can only get a little over 200km in a millisecond in glass, in fiber. Right? Yeah.这里有一个光速约束，使得这件事很难实现。正是光速会阻止单一意识的存在。光在真空中传播 300km 需要 1 毫秒，在玻璃纤维中 1 毫秒只能走 200 多公里，对吧？对。
Dave BlundinSo.所以——
Elon MuskEven on Earth there will be multiple AIs because of the speed of light. Yeah. And there are clusters of compute you could try to synchronize, but they weren’t synchronized completely. So therefore you will have many minds because of the speed of light.即使在地球上，由于光速的限制，也会存在多个 AI。是的。而且会有算力集群，你可以尝试同步它们，但它们不会完全同步。所以，因为光速的存在，你将会拥有许多个意识。
Dave BlundinThey don’t really have clean borders anymore either. When you use a mixture of experts kind of design, it’s just flowing through the grand network and you can reassemble parts of it midway through. And you know, we’re used to organisms that have clear borders. Like your head ends there, your head ends there. But these things are all to put.而且它们也不再有清晰的边界了。当你用了混合专家那种架构，信息就在整个大网络里流动，你可以在中途重新组合它的不同部分。我们习惯于有清晰边界的生命体——你的头在那里结束，你的头在那里结束。但这些东西全都要放进去了。
Peter DiamandisA bow around this part. I hope you’ll put some more thought into UHI, because I think it’s really, it’s really important for us to have without a vision. People need a vision of where we’re going. People need something to hold.给这部分画个句号。我希望你能在 UHI 这个问题上多想想，因为我觉得这真的、真的很重要——没有愿景，人们就需要一个前进方向的愿景。人们需要有东西可以抓住。
Elon MuskHopefully the government can just issue people free money.希望政府能直接给人们发免费的钱。
Dave BlundinBut I don’t think I, I think.但我不认为……我认为——
Peter DiamandisThey, based upon the profitability of all the companies coming inside, just issue people free money. No, they’re doing that sort of kind of now.他们，根据所有这些公司的盈利状况，就直接给人们发免费的钱。不，他们现在也多少在做这种事情。
Elon MuskYeah, but just basically issue checks to everybody. And then how big for which person or…对，但基本上就是给所有人发支票。然后每个人发多少，针对哪些人呢……
Dave BlundinThere’s so much complexity there. But the thought process behind this rate of change can only be done with AI assistance. And there’s no government entity that’s going to keep up with that change. So you have four big AIs.这里面有太多复杂性了。但是，关于这种变化速度的思考过程，只能借助 AI 才能完成。没有任何政府机构能跟上这种变化。所以你有四大 AI。
Elon MuskNot the AIs. It’s like government is very slow moving, as we all know. So I think the government really can’t react to the AI. It’s AIs moving 10 times faster than government, maybe more.不是 AI，而是……政府的运转非常缓慢，这大家都知道。所以我认为政府根本无法对 AI 做出反应。AI 的运动速度是政府的 10 倍，甚至更多。
Elon MuskThe one thing that the government can do is just issue people money and…政府唯一能做的一件事，就是给人们发钱……
Peter DiamandisTry and keep the peace.尽力维持秩序。
Dave BlundinYeah.对。
Elon MuskYou know, we had like whatever, the COVID checks and whatever President Trump recently issued, like everyone in the military, like I think $1,776. I mean you can just basically send people random amounts of money. Okay, so like nobody’s going to starve is what I’m saying.你知道，我们有过 COVID 补贴，还有 Trump 总统最近发的，给所有军人的那个，好像是 $1,776 吧。我是说，你基本上就是随机给人们发钱。好，我想说的是，反正不会有人挨饿。
Elon MuskAnd universal, I can tell you. Like, let me tell you about some of the good things.而全民……我可以告诉你一些好事。让我来说说一些好的事情。
Peter DiamandisPlease.请说。
Elon MuskSo right now there’s a shortage of doctors and great surgeons. You’re a doctor yourself. You know how they’re… It takes a long time for a…现在，医生和优秀外科医生是稀缺资源。你自己也是医生，你清楚那需要……一个人要成为……需要很长时间——
Peter DiamandisHuman to become ridiculously expensive and long.一个人要变得非常厉害，又贵又漫长。
Elon MuskRidiculously, yes, ridiculous. Super long time to learn to be a good doctor. And even then the knowledge is constantly evolving. It’s hard to keep up with everything. You know, doctors have limited time, they make mistakes.非常，是的，非常漫长。要学成一名优秀的医生需要超长时间。而且即便如此，知识也在不断更新，很难跟上所有进展。医生时间有限，也会犯错。
Elon MuskAnd you say, like, how many great surgeons are there? Not that many great surgeons.你想想，真正优秀的外科医生有多少？没多少。
Peter DiamandisWhen do you think Optimus would be a better surgeon than the best surgeons? How long for that?你觉得 Optimus 什么时候会比最顶尖的外科医生做手术还厉害？这要多长时间？
Elon MuskThree years.三年。
Peter DiamandisThree years, okay.三年，好。
Elon MuskYeah. And by the way, that’s three years at scale.对，而且顺便说一句，那是三年后规模化的 Optimus。
Peter DiamandisYes.是的。
Elon MuskThere will be more, probably more Optimus robots that are great surgeons than there are all surgeons on earth.到时候会有更多——大概会有比地球上所有外科医生加起来还多的 Optimus 机器人，都能做出色的外科手术。
Peter DiamandisAnd the cost of that is the capex and electricity and it works in Zimbabwe. The best surgeon is throughout, in the villages throughout Africa or any place on the planet.而且成本就是资本支出和电力，而且它在津巴布韦也能工作。最好的外科医生——遍及整个非洲的村庄，或者地球上任何一个地方。
Dave BlundinWhere do you think it’ll roll out first? Not the US obviously.你认为它会最先在哪里推广？显然不是美国。
Peter DiamandisHere at the gigafactory.就在超级工厂这里。
Dave BlundinOh, you just do surgery in the…哦，你只要在……里做手术就行了？
Peter DiamandisBut that’s an important statement in three years time. Yeah, because medicine, I mean, certainly.但这在三年后是个重要的表述。是的，因为医学，我是说，当然了。
Peter DiamandisIf it’s four or five years, who cares? It’s still an incredible statement to make. I mean, good for humanity, right. All of a sudden you demonetize…就算要四五年，又有什么关系呢？这依然是个了不起的表述。我是说，对人类来说是好事，对吧。突然之间你就把……的货币价值归零了。
Peter DiamandisTriple Exponential Growth in Robotics机器人领域的三重指数增长
Elon MuskOkay, here’s the thing to understand about humanoid robots in terms of the rate of improvement, which is that you have three exponentials multiplied by each other. You have an exponential increase in the AI software capability, exponential increase in the AI chip capability, and an exponential increase in the electromechanical dexterity.好，关于人形机器人的改进速度，有一件事你必须理解——你有三个指数在互相叠乘。AI软件能力指数级增长，AI芯片能力指数级增长，再加上机电灵巧度的指数级增长。
Elon MuskThe usefulness of the humanoid robot is those three things multiplied by each other. Right. Then you have the recursive effect of Optimus building Optimus. Right?人形机器人的实用价值就是这三件事互相相乘的结果。对吧。然后你还有 Optimus 制造 Optimus 的递归效应，对吧？
Peter DiamandisAnd then you have the shared knowledge.然后你还有共享知识这一层。
Elon MuskYou have a recursive multiplicable triple exponential.你得到的是一个可递归叠乘的三重指数。
Peter DiamandisAnd you have the shared knowledge of all the experiences.而且你还有所有经验共享这一层。
Dave BlundinIs that literally Optimus building Optimus or is it because, you know, the…所谓 Optimus 制造 Optimus，是字面意义上的，还是说因为……
Elon MuskWell, not right now but will be.嗯，现在还不是，但将来会的。
Dave BlundinThe physical humanoid form factor building the humanoid form factor as opposed…是人形外形去制造人形外形，而不是……
Elon MuskTo von Neumann machine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love that.冯·诺依曼机器的概念。是啊是啊。我喜欢这个说法。
Dave BlundinBut the von Neumann machine is usually something kind of like this shape, you know, making something else.但冯·诺依曼机器通常是这种形态，你知道，在制造别的东西。
Elon MuskIn principle it’s simply a self replicating thing.原则上，它就是一个自我复制的东西。
Dave BlundinYeah, yeah.是啊，是啊。
Peter DiamandisDo you know what the number one question you ask a surgeon when you’re interviewing them?你知道面试外科医生时最重要的问题是什么吗？
Elon MuskIs this a surgeon joke? No, no, it’s…这是个外科医生笑话吗？不不，是……
Peter DiamandisHow many times, how many times do you do that?你做了多少次，做了多少次那个手术？
Elon MuskThere’s going to be some funny surgeon joke.肯定有个搞笑的外科医生笑话要来了。
Peter DiamandisNo, it’s serious. It’s how many times did you do the surgery?不，是认真的。就是问你做了多少次这个手术。
Elon MuskSorry?抱歉？
Peter DiamandisHow many times did you do the surgery this morning or yesterday? It’s the number of experiences. Right. And so with a shared memory, you know, every Optimus surgeon will have seen every possible perturbation of everything.你今早或者昨天做了多少次这台手术？关键在于经验的数量，对吧。所以有了共享记忆之后，你知道，每一个 Optimus 外科医生都将见识过所有情况的每一种可能变化。
Peter DiamandisIt won’t be possible in infrared, in ultraviolet. No, not too much caffeine that morning. They didn’t have a fight with their husband or wife.它在红外、紫外下都不会出问题。不会因为那天早上咖啡因摄入过多，也不会因为跟丈夫或妻子吵了架。
Elon MuskExtreme precision.极致的精准。
Peter DiamandisYes.是的。
Elon MuskThree years. Yes. Better than any, probably. I say if you put a…三年。是的。可能比任何人都强。我的意思是，如果你放一个……
Dave BlundinLittle margin on it.稍微给点余量。
Elon MuskBetter than any human in four years.四年内超越任何人类。
Peter DiamandisWho’s in plastic surgery by five years?五年内谁还愿意去整形外科当医生？
Elon MuskIt’s not even close.根本不是同一个级别。
Dave BlundinSo what about the simple like, I mean there’s a million of these things to figure out, but who’s going to have access to the first Optimus that does far, far better microsurgery than any surgeon on earth. But you’ve only manufactured the first 10,000 of them.那像这种简单的问题——我是说这有一百万件事要搞清楚——谁能用上第一批比地球上任何外科医生都强得多的 Optimus 显微手术机器人？但你只生产了最初的 10,000 台。
Elon MuskHow do you double it out? I don’t think people understand how many robots there’s going to be. Yeah, well there’s a window of…你怎么快速扩大产量？我觉得大家根本没意识到机器人会有多少台。是啊，有一个窗口期……
Peter DiamandisSaudi said 10 billion by 2040. You’re still on that path.沙特说 2040 年前达到 100 亿台。你还在这条路上吗？
Elon MuskThat’s not, that’s low number.那个数字太保守了。
Peter DiamandisLow number.太保守了。
Dave BlundinWow. What’s the constraint? What’s the… Because if they’re self building metal…哇。瓶颈在哪？因为如果它们能自己建造……
Peter DiamandisThe constraint is metal.瓶颈在金属。
Dave BlundinYeah, you got to move the atoms. It’s just all out, just supply chain stuff.是啊，你得搬运原子。归根结底就是供应链的问题。
Elon MuskSo, yeah, but there’s some right limit. You can’t just… Manufacturing is very difficult. So you’ve got, you got to, it’s recursive, multiplicable, triple exponential. But you still need to, you still have to climb that, you know…是这样，但有一个现实上限。你不能无限扩张……制造业非常难。所以你必须，它是递归可叠乘的三重指数，但你还是得爬那座山，你知道……
Elon MuskUniversal Access to Healthcare全民医疗保障
Peter DiamandisSelling hope once again. I think your point was medicine is going to be effectively free. The best medicine in the world, everyone…再次贩卖希望。我觉得你的意思是，医疗将会实际上免费。全世界最好的医疗，每个人……
Elon MuskWill have access to medical care that is better than what the president receives right now.都能获得比现任总统现在享受的更好的医疗服务。
Peter DiamandisSo don’t go into medical school.所以别去读医学院了。
Elon MuskYes. Pointless.是的。没意义。
Dave BlundinYeah.是啊。
Elon MuskI mean unless you… But I would say that applies to any form of education. It’s not like some… I do it for social reasons. Yeah, you’re not going to medical school if you want to hang out with like minded people. I suppose.我是说，除非你……但我认为这适用于任何形式的教育。又不是说……我是为了社交原因去学。是啊，你总不会是为了结交志同道合的人才去读医学院吧。我想是这样。
Peter DiamandisI mean people are still going to want to be connected with people. There’s going to be some period of time, social reasons.我是说人们还是会想和人建立联结的。会有一段时间，是出于社交需要。
Elon MuskYeah, like a hobby. Like, you know, I mean there will be a point where it’s expensive hobby.是啊，就像一种爱好。你知道，我是说，终将有一天它会变成一种昂贵的爱好。
Peter DiamandisYounger generation says “I do not want that human touching me.” Right. Certainly when the surgeon comes over, they’re going to be those people later in life who still want a human in the loop.年轻一代会说"我不想让那个人类碰我"，对吧。当然，当外科医生来的时候，以后还是会有那种人，到了晚年仍然希望有个人类在环路里。
Elon MuskOkay. For a little while. They want to live on the edge. I mean let’s just take like we’ve seen some advanced cases of automation, like LASIK for example, where the robot just lasers your eyeball. Now do you want an ophthalmologist with a hand laser?好吧。那只会持续一小段时间。他们是想活得刺激点。我是说，我们已经看过一些自动化的先进案例，比如 LASIK，机器直接用激光照射你的眼球。现在你还想要一个眼科医生手持激光吗？
Peter DiamandisNo.不想。
Elon MuskJust a little shake of a laser pointer from… I wouldn’t want the best ophthalmologist, steadiest hand out there with a f *ing hand laser on my eyeball, you know?就一个激光笔轻轻一抖……我连最好的眼科医生、最稳的手，用他妈的手持激光照我眼球，我都不想要，你懂吗？
Peter DiamandisOh my God.我的天哪。
Elon MuskYeah, it’s going to be like that. It’s like do you want ophthalmologist with a f *ing hand laser or do you want the robot to do it and actually work?是啊，就会是这种情况。就像，你到底是想要眼科医生拿着他妈的手持激光，还是让机器人来做，然后真的管用？
Elon MuskSpace Exploration and the Moon Base太空探索与月球基地
Peter DiamandisLet’s jump into one of our favorite subjects. Space.我们来聊聊我们最喜欢的话题之一——太空。
Elon MuskYeah.好啊。
Peter DiamandisSo first off, how cool that Jared Isaacman has become the NASA…首先，Jared Isaacman 成为 NASA……这太酷了。
Elon MuskOh, is he a friend of yours too?哦，他也是你的朋友吗？
Peter DiamandisHe’s amazing.他太棒了。
Elon MuskYes. I mean I don’t hang out with Jared. Like people think I’m like huge buddies with Jared, but I think I’ve only seen him in person a few times.是的。我是说我和 Jared 并不常混在一起。大家以为我跟 Jared 是超级好兄弟，但其实我们面对面见过也就几次。
Peter DiamandisAmazing candidate. Yeah, he’s a really smart person.了不起的候选人。是啊，他是个非常聪明的人。
Dave BlundinYou know him really well.你对他很了解的。
Peter DiamandisYeah. I took him to a Baikonur launch in 2008 for his first space experience.是啊。我在 2008 年带他去拜科努尔看了发射，那是他的第一次太空体验。
Elon MuskI mean, he loves space, next level, and is technically strong. It’s a smart and competent person. Like really smart and really competent.我是说，他对太空的热爱达到了另一个层次，而且技术底子扎实。是个聪明又能干的人。真的很聪明，真的很能干。
Peter DiamandisUnderstands business.懂商业。
Elon MuskYes, yes, he understands. He gets things done.是的，是的，他懂。他能把事情搞定。
Peter DiamandisAnd he’s been there a few times.而且他已经上去过几次了。
Elon MuskYeah, yeah. So I’m just like, you know, we want to have someone smart and competent who loves space exploration and will get things done at NASA.是啊，是啊。所以我就是，你知道，我们想要一个聪明能干、热爱太空探索、能在 NASA 把事情推进下去的人。
Peter DiamandisI’m a huge fan. That’s a huge fan. I was so, so, so happy when you got nominated and now…我是个超级粉丝。太高兴了，当他获得提名的时候，然后现在……
Elon MuskYeah, I think we need to… We need a new game plan for space.是啊，我觉得我们需要……需要一个新的太空战略。
Peter DiamandisYeah.是的。
Elon MuskLike, we need a moon base.比如，我们需要一个月球基地。
Peter DiamandisYes.是的。
Elon MuskLike a permanently crewed moon base and build that up as fast as possible. Yeah, I don’t think we should do the, you know, send a couple of astronauts there for… Hop around for a bit and come back because we did that in ’69.要有一个常驻人员的月球基地，并且以最快速度把它建起来。我不认为我们应该再搞那种，你知道，送几个宇航员上去……跳来跳去然后回来，因为我们 '69 年就干过这个了。
Peter DiamandisYes. Been there, done that.是的。去过了，做到了。
Dave BlundinYeah.是啊。
Elon MuskIt’s like a remake of a ’60s movie. It’s never as good as the original. So 2026 is going to be… We need to go, you know, to do something more cool, which is mine…这就像在翻拍一部 60 年代的电影。翻拍永远不如原版。所以 2026 年我们要……我们需要去做一些更酷的事，比如开采……
Peter DiamandisIce on the moon base, else giant. Put up telescopes.月球基地上的冰，还有别的。架设望远镜。
Elon MuskYeah, yeah, exactly.是啊，是啊，没错。
Dave BlundinSo do you forward deploy the robots, build everything, get it all ready, make…那你是先把机器人前置部署，把一切都建好，都准备妥当，然后……
Peter DiamandisThe bed and then get the Jacuzzi warmed up on…把床铺好，然后让 Jacuzzi 在……上预热好。
Dave BlundinThat’s an interesting… Yeah, yeah, yeah.这个思路挺有意思的……是啊是啊是啊。
Peter DiamandisHow early in the year are you going to hit orbital refueling, you think, with Starship?你觉得今年多早能实现 Starship 的在轨加注？
Elon MuskNot that early in the year.今年不会太早。
Peter DiamandisI mean, are you shooting for the Hohmann Transit orbit?我是说，你是在瞄准霍曼转移轨道窗口吗？
Elon MuskI’d say towards the end of the year.我说大概是年底吧。
Peter DiamandisAre you shooting for a Mars shot by the end of next year?你在争取明年年底前实现火星发射吗？
Elon MuskWe could, but it would be a low probability Mars shot and somewhat of a distraction.可以，但那会是一次成功概率很低的火星发射，而且多少会分散注意力。
Peter DiamandisSo ’29 then.那就 '29 年了。
Elon MuskIt’s not out of the question.不是没可能。
Peter Diamandis’28, ’29.'28、'29 年。
Elon MuskBut on Mondays, I have the Starship engineering. The big Starship engineering review is on Mondays. So that was actually the thing I did just before coming here. And that’s what I say—Starship is really, we’re doing something that is at the limit of biological intelligence. This is a hard thing to make.但我每周一都有 Starship 工程评审。周一是 Starship 的大型工程评审日。实际上我来这里之前刚开完。这就是我想说的——Starship 真的是，我们在做一件处于生物智能极限的事。这东西很难造。
Dave BlundinAnd just to capture it, it was created pre-AI.补充一点，它是在 AI 出现之前就已经立项的。
Elon MuskThe last really big thing.最后一件真正的大事。
Dave BlundinAnd that’s not AI, probably the biggest thing ever made.而且没有用 AI，可能是有史以来制造过的最大的东西。
Elon MuskYeah.是啊。
Dave BlundinBy pure human hands.完全靠人类双手打造出来的。
Elon MuskThe AGI will say, “Not bad for a human.” That’s true. Not bad for a human.AGI 会说："对人类来说，还不错。"确实。对人类来说，还不错。
Dave BlundinYeah, that’d be like Rembrandt.是啊，就像伦勃朗那样。
Elon MuskA little 20-watt meat computer. It’s not easy. So suffering through the day, like doing—一个小小的 20 瓦肉体电脑。并不容易。所以每天受着苦，做着……
Dave BlundinAccounting, doing your interest calculation with a pencil. Yeah, that’s pretty good. Yeah, pretty good.做账，用铅笔算利息。是啊，还挺厉害的。是啊，挺不错的。
Elon MuskDid that with regular computers for a bunch of monkeys. You know, it’s like if you saw a bunch of chimps make a raft and cross the river, you’d be like, “Oh, look at that.”这对一堆猴子来说已经算用上普通电脑了。你知道，就好比你看到一群黑猩猩扎了个木筏渡河，你会说："哦，瞧瞧这个。"
Dave BlundinBut you know, we celebrate the pyramids.但你要知道，我们现在还在歌颂金字塔呢。
Elon MuskGood for him.给它们点掌声。
Peter DiamandisDims and peanuts.微不足道的奖励。
Dave BlundinBut these things become timeless, right?但这些东西会变得永恒，对吧？
Peter DiamandisLike three goes when—就像三件事加在一起的时候……
Elon MuskYeah.是啊。
Dave BlundinI think it’s worth noting.我觉得值得记录一下。
Peter DiamandisRaptor 3 is beautiful Starship.Raptor 3 太漂亮了，Starship 也是。
Elon MuskIt’s amazing. By far the best rocket engine ever. Is that AI? Nothing’s even close. Nope. That’s also—太惊人了。迄今为止最好的火箭发动机，没有之一。用了 AI 吗？完全没有别的能接近它。没有。那也是……
Dave BlundinSo that’ll be the last thing before we’ll definitely be AI.所以那将是在 AI 全面接管之前的最后一件大事。
Elon MuskYeah, there’s—but I think AI will start to become relevant next year. So maybe we’ll—it’s not like we’re pushing off AI, it’s just AI can’t do rocket engineering yet. But it probably will be able to next year.是啊，但我觉得 AI 明年就会开始真正发挥作用。所以也许我们会——不是说我们在刻意推开 AI，只是 AI 现在还做不了火箭工程。但明年可能就能了。
Dave BlundinWe have a company in our incubator doing mechanical design, working with Anduril and so forth. And it’s not—you can design brackets and parts and things, but you can’t quite do rockets. But the timeline is so short, you know, from point A to point B.我们孵化器里有一家公司在做机械设计，和 Anduril 等公司合作。它能设计支架、零件之类的，但还不能搞火箭。但从 A 点到 B 点的时间线非常短，你知道。
Elon MuskIf it’s like a year from now, probably it can. It probably can be helpful, meaningfully helpful in a year from now.如果是一年后，大概就能了。一年后大概能提供有意义的帮助。
Dave BlundinYeah.是啊。
Dave BlundinStarship MilestonesStarship 里程碑
Peter DiamandisSo the big milestones are going to be Starship V3 launching out of Cape Canaveral. Orbital refueling. Are those the big ones?那么重大里程碑将会是 Starship V3 从卡纳维拉尔角发射、在轨加注。这些是最重要的吗？
Elon MuskWell, yeah. Catching the ship with the tower.嗯，是的。还有用塔架抓住飞船。
Peter DiamandisYeah, that’s right.对，没错。
Elon MuskSo really the thing that matters is can we refly the entire thing? We have reflown a booster, which is, you know, not bad for its largest flying object ever made. Catching with chopsticks. Not bad for a bunch of monkeys.所以真正关键的问题是——我们能把整套系统都复飞吗？我们已经复飞了助推器，这对于有史以来最大的飞行物体来说还算不错。用筷子夹住回来，对一堆猴子来说还不错。
Peter DiamandisYou’re keeping the AIs very entertained.你这是在让 AI 们看得津津有味。
Elon MuskThank you. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I’ll be like pat on the back from the AGI, hopefully.谢谢。是啊，正是。希望能得到 AGI 的一个鼓励性拍背。
Dave BlundinIs there a target for number of reuses before? I mean, there’s got to be a lot of wear and tear.有没有目标复用次数呢？在那之前，我是说，肯定会有不少磨损。
Elon MuskIt requires a lot of iteration to achieve high reuse. So you figure out what’s breaking between flights and you sort of iteratively solve those things. So from people looking at it from the outside might say, “Oh, the rocket looks kind of the same,” but there’s like a thousand changes to make it more reusable, more reliable.要实现高复用率需要大量迭代。你要弄清楚每次飞行之间什么东西坏了，然后逐一迭代解决。所以从外部看的人可能会说，"哦，那枚火箭看起来差不多嘛"，但实际上有差不多一千处改动，都是为了让它更耐用、更可靠。
Elon MuskYou know, the sheer amount of energy you’re trying to expend—I mean, it’s—Starship is doing over 100 gigawatts of power on ascent. It’s a lot.你知道，你要释放的能量之巨……我是说，Starship 上升段的输出功率超过 100 gigawatts。这是个很大的数字。
Dave BlundinYou know, some glass blowing under there and get some—你知道，在那底下会有些玻璃在融化……
Elon MuskYeah.是啊。
Peter DiamandisWow.哇。
Elon MuskBut the amazing thing is that it doesn’t explode. Yes, it sometimes doesn’t explode. Sometimes not. Exploding is like—we’ve blown up a lot of engines on the test stand.但神奇的是它没有爆炸。是的，有时候不爆。有时候会。爆炸嘛——我们在测试台上烧掉了很多发动机。
Dave BlundinI mean, is that what causes the wear and tear or is it the reentry of the—or the falling?我是说，磨损主要是什么造成的？是再入大气层，还是下降过程？
Dave BlundinUnderstanding Booster Reuse理解助推器复用
Elon MuskThat too. I mean, for the booster, the reentry is not that bad, you know. If something’s—it’s not really like—we also obviously just solved that, you know, with Falcon 9. So we kind of understand booster reuse. We’ve had over 500 reflights of the Falcon 9 stage. So we really understand.这也是。我是说，对于助推器来说，再入其实没那么惨，你知道。如果某样东西……也不完全像……而且我们显然在 Falcon 9 上已经解决了，你知道。所以我们对助推器复用相当理解了。Falcon 9 一级已经超过 500 次复飞。我们真的很懂这个。
Elon MuskAnd the Starship booster actually is a more benign entry than the Falcon booster because the staging ratio is more biased towards the upper stage for Starship. So I shifted the mass ratio to be much higher on the ship side for Starship. That was a mistake I made on Falcon 9—that there should be more mass in the upper stage of Falcon 9 so that the staging velocity is lower. If the staging velocity of Falcon 9 was lower, would have less wear and tear on Falcon 9.而且 Starship 助推器的再入其实比 Falcon 助推器更温和，因为 Starship 的级间质量比更偏向上面级。我把 Starship 的质量比大幅调整到飞船这一侧。这是我在 Falcon 9 上犯的一个错误——Falcon 9 的上面级应该有更多质量，这样分级速度就会更低。如果 Falcon 9 的分级速度更低，助推器的磨损就会少很多。
Dave BlundinYeah. That’s not intuitive at all. That’s interesting.是啊。这一点完全不直观，很有意思。
Elon MuskYeah. Because it’s kind of a flat optimization—the payload to orbit. There’s sort of a flat region in the mass ratio of the first second stages. And so you just want to bias that mass ratio towards the—to put more mass on the upper stage.是啊。因为对入轨有效载荷的优化是相对平坦的——一二级的质量比在一个平坦区域内。所以你只需要把质量比往上面级方向偏移就行了。
Elon MuskSo, yeah, because, you know, you just—you got your kinetic energy scaling with square velocity. So you’ve got to describe that kinetic energy. If you’re past the melting point of whatever your stage is made of, you’ve got a problem.所以，是的，因为，你知道，动能是速度的平方放大的。所以你得消散这些动能。如果超过了你的级的熔点，你就麻烦了。
Elon MuskUFOs and Camera ResolutionUFO 与摄像头分辨率
Peter DiamandisSo my colleague Alex Wiesner-Gross, who’s one of our moonshot mates here, wanted to ask a question. I do too. Have you seen the documentary “Age of Disclosure” about all of the announcements by US government officials, military officials about all the alien spacecraft that have been obtained? And I’ve heard what you’ve said about this.我们的同事 Alex Wiesner-Gross，他是我们这里的一位登月伙伴，想问一个问题，我也想问。你看过那个纪录片《揭秘时代》吗？里面讲了很多美国政府官员、军方官员关于已获得的外星飞船的声明。我也听过你对这个话题的看法。
Elon MuskWell, I do wonder why, you know, if you plot on a chart the resolution of cameras over time, like megapixels per year, and the resolution of UFO photographs, why is the—it’s the only constant, it’s flat on UFO, we get a fuzzy blob. Well, we got like, you know, whatever 100-megapixel camera that can see your f *ing nose hairs. I don’t get it. Can somebody take a shot of the UFO with an actual camera, for love of God?嗯，我确实想问，你知道，如果你画一张图，横轴是时间，纵轴是相机分辨率，就像每年百万像素的增长曲线，再对比 UFO 照片的分辨率——为什么……这是唯一一个保持不变的东西，UFO 那条线是平的，我们永远只能得到一个模糊的光斑。而我们已经有了 1 亿像素的相机，能看清你他妈的鼻毛。我真不理解。有没有人他妈的拿一台正经相机去拍一下那个 UFO？求求了。
Peter DiamandisBut even if you knew a male—但就算你知道一个雄性……
Dave BlundinThat’s a valid observation. I’m sure there’s an explanation.这个观察是有道理的。我相信一定有解释。
Peter DiamandisBut anyway, it’s—it would be fascinating.反正，这件事会很迷人。
Elon MuskI’m asked all the time if I’ve—yes. And I’m like, look, I can show you. If I was aware of the slightest evidence of aliens, I would immediately post out on X. Yeah, that’s good. So the question is, this would be the most viewed post of all time.我经常被问到我有没有见过。是的。然后我就说，看，我可以让你看看。如果我掌握了哪怕一丁点外星人存在的证据，我会立刻发在 X 上。是啊，说得好。问题是，那将是有史以来浏览量最高的帖子。
Peter DiamandisI actually wonder about the US public if they would like, “Oh, that’s interesting,” go back to their sports scores the next day.我其实很好奇美国公众会怎么反应，他们会不会只是"哦，有意思"，第二天就去看体育比分了。
Elon MuskYeah, I think everyone would want to see the alien, like, if you got one.是啊，我觉得每个人都会想看外星人，你知道，如果你真的抓到一个的话。
Dave BlundinWell, like, here it is.嗯，就比如，你看，就是这个。
Elon MuskFast way to increase the military budget. We’re like, “We found an alien. It seems dangerous.” That’s right.快速增加军费预算的方法。我们就说，"我们发现了外星人，它好像有威胁。"对，就是这样。
Peter DiamandisUnify the world.团结全人类。
Elon MuskThey don’t have an incentive to hide the aliens. They have an incentive to bring up surely alien because they would not have any more arguments about the military budget if they seem a little bit dangerous.他们没有隐瞒外星人的动机。他们有动机把外星人摆出来，因为只要外星人显得稍微有点危险，军费预算的争论就会销声匿迹。
Peter DiamandisI can always hope. I can always hope.我只能寄希望于此了。只能寄希望于此。
Elon MuskI mean, you know, we’ve got 9,000 satellites up there. We’ve never had to maneuver around an alien spaceship yet. So—我是说，你知道，我们上面有 9,000 颗卫星。到目前为止我们还从来没有需要为了躲开外星飞船而机动规避。所以……
Elon MuskThe Future of Abundance富足的未来
Elon MuskSo anyway, so I guess the good future is anyone can have whatever stuff they want and incredible medical care that’s better than any medical care that exists. So I think if you sort of lift your gaze, you know, to not a super distant point—five years from now, four years from now—maybe we’ll have better medical care than anyone has today available for everyone within five years. No scarcity of goods or services.所以，总之，我想好的未来应该是：任何人都能得到他们想要的任何东西，以及比现有任何医疗都好的卓越医疗服务。所以我觉得如果你把目光稍微放远一点，也不是遥不可及的未来——五年后、四年后——也许在五年内我们会有比今天任何人都能享受到的更好的医疗，而且所有人都能享受。物品和服务不再稀缺。
Peter DiamandisBest education available for everybody.最好的教育向所有人开放。
Elon MuskYou can learn anything you want about anything for free.你可以免费学习任何你想了解的任何领域的知识。
Dave BlundinWhat about access to compute? People will probably care a lot more about that than their government check in about three years.那算力获取呢？大概三年后，人们对算力的在意程度可能远超他们对政府支票的在意程度。
Elon MuskWell, what do they want to do with compute?嗯，他们想用算力做什么？
Dave BlundinWell, I mean, compute translates to anything you want, right? Your virtual friend, your entertainment. It’s probably everything at that point.我是说，算力可以转化为任何你想要的东西，对吧？你的虚拟朋友、你的娱乐。到那时候，算力可能就是一切了。
Peter DiamandisThose are AI services, basically, yeah.那基本上就是 AI 服务了，对。
Dave BlundinOr your ability to innovate, too. You can’t innovate without an AI assistant at that point.也包括你的创新能力。到那时候没有 AI 助手你就没法创新了。
Dave BlundinThe Real Bottleneck: Electricity Generation真正的瓶颈：电力生产
Peter DiamandisOne of our other moonshot mates, Salim Ismail, asked this question. He said, “Elon, you often say physics is the law. Everything else is a recommendation.” So as AI energy and space systems scale exponentially, what non-physical constraints—organizational, cultural, bureaucracy or human—are now the real bottleneck? Is there a bottleneck?我们的另一位登月伙伴 Salim Ismail 问了这个问题。他说："Elon，你常说物理定律是法律，其他一切都只是建议。那么当 AI、能源和太空系统都在指数级扩张的时候，现在真正的瓶颈是什么非物理约束——组织上的、文化上的、官僚体制，或者人的因素？有瓶颈吗？"
Elon MuskElectricity generation is the limiting factor.电力生产是限制因素。
Peter DiamandisThe innermost loop.最内层的那个循环。
Elon MuskYeah. I think people are underestimating difficulty of bringing electricity online. You know, you’ve got to generate electricity, you’ve got to—you need transformers for the transformers. So you got to convert that voltage to something that the computers can digest. You’ve got to cool the computers.是的。我觉得人们低估了把电力接入上线的难度。你知道，你要发电，你还需要变压器——变压器本身也需要变压器。所以你要把电压转换成计算机能接受的水平。你还要给计算机散热。
Elon MuskSo it’s basically electricity generation and cooling are limiting factors for AI. And once you have humanoid robotics, they can address the power generation and the cooling stuff. But that is the limiting factor and will be for at least the next two years.所以基本上，发电和散热是 AI 的限制因素。而一旦你有了人形机器人，它们就能解决发电和散热的问题。但这个瓶颈至少会持续未来两年。
Elon MuskSpace-Based Computing太空算力
Dave BlundinIsn’t it amazing how divergent the Memphis version of that is from the space-based version? You have solar panels in common, but otherwise no storage, abundant amounts of energy. But you have launch costs and weight suddenly matter. You don’t care too much about the weight in Tennessee. Suddenly the weight is a critical factor. And there’s two things, two pathways for compute have a huge divergence from here forward.这太神奇了，孟菲斯方案和太空方案之间的差异是如此之大。你们共同的点是太阳能板，但除此之外——无需存储、能源充裕。但你有发射成本，重量突然变得至关重要。在田纳西州你不太在意重量，但突然之间重量成了关键因素。算力的两条路径从这里开始出现了巨大的分岔。
Elon MuskYeah. Once we get solar domestically at scale, and if we’re launching Starship at scale, then by far the cheapest way to do AI compute will be in space. So once you have the—once you have full and complete reusability, the propellant costs per flight is maybe a million dollars.是的。一旦我们国内太阳能实现规模化，又在规模化发射 Starship，那么迄今为止最便宜的 AI 算力方式将会是在太空中。所以一旦你实现了……一旦你实现了完整的完全复用，每次飞行的推进剂成本大概是一百万美元。
Peter DiamandisPeople don’t realize that people have to—200 ridiculous amount of expectations how much it costs.人们不理解，大家对成本有多么荒谬的高估。
Elon MuskSo if you—a million dollars of transport or 10 megawatts of AI compute.所以如果你……一百万美元的运输，或者 10 megawatts 的 AI 算力。
Dave BlundinSo assuming everything keeps trending the way it’s currently trending. If you look at the next four years of accelerating launches. So 200 tons per launch.假设一切都按当前趋势发展。如果你看未来四年加速发射的情况。那么每次发射 200 吨。
Elon MuskYeah. Thousands where you’re going. But yeah, like if say—if say high altitude sunset, it’s probably more like 150 tons. But yeah, it’s the right order of magnitude is at least it’s—it’s in excess of 100 tons for marginal cost per flight of around a million.是的。会往千次飞行去走。但是，比如说——比如说在高空日落时，大概更接近 150 吨。但没错，这个量级是对的，至少……超过 100 吨，而边际飞行成本大约在百万美元左右。
Dave BlundinSo what fraction of all that launched mass is data centers in space as opposed to moon base, as opposed to launch to Mars as opposed to—那么在所有这些发射质量里，太空数据中心、月球基地、火星发射，各占多大比例？
Peter DiamandisInteresting how—I mean this is a new—we weren’t talking about this as a space objective even, you know, a year ago.有趣的是——我是说这是个新概念——甚至就在一年前，我们还没有把这个当作太空目标来谈论。
Elon MuskYeah.是啊。
Peter DiamandisAll of a sudden data centers have become the massive driving force for opening up the space.突然之间数据中心成了开发太空的最大驱动力。
Dave BlundinAnd also the urgent, the urgent use case too.而且也是最紧迫的应用场景。
Peter DiamandisI mean I used to wonder what’s going to drive humanity. I thought it was asteroid mining.我以前一直在想什么会驱动人类走向太空。我当时以为是小行星采矿。
Elon MuskRight.对。
Peter DiamandisYou were focused on Mars.你专注于火星。
Elon MuskWe will actually want to mine asteroids to turn them into—我们实际上会想开采小行星，把它们变成……
Peter DiamandisSure.当然。
Elon MuskYou know, before—before you photovoltaic.你知道，在……之前——在你用光伏发电之前。
Peter DiamandisBefore you.在你之前。
Elon MuskNot for anything else.不为别的。
Peter DiamandisI mean if we’re going to build out Dyson swarms.我是说，如果我们要建 Dyson 球群的话。
Elon MuskYeah. Just a bunch of satellites around the sun.是啊。就是一堆围绕太阳的卫星。
Peter DiamandisHow long. What’s your time frame for—Alex, another question Alex wanted to have us ask. What’s your time frame for humanity achieving a Dyson swarm? Is it 50 years?什么时候？你对人类实现 Dyson 球群的时间框架是多少？是 50 年吗？这是 Alex 想让我们问的另一个问题。
Elon MuskHow big is this?这个多大规模？
Peter DiamandisYeah, I know.是啊，我知道。
Elon MuskIt’s a matter of dysfunction. People think like everything’s going to be covered in satellites. I think it’s not quite that. I mean I think we—you have to like what mass ends up becoming satellite. Mercury probably ends up being satellites.这是个功能失调的问题。大家以为整个太阳系都会被卫星覆盖。我觉得不完全是这样。我是说，我认为……你要弄清楚最终什么质量会变成卫星。水星大概最终会成为卫星。
Peter DiamandisYes.是的。
Elon MuskJupiter.木星。
Dave BlundinJupiter, yeah. Saturn.木星，是的。土星。
Elon MuskIt’s a little gassy. Oh yeah, it’s big. It’s got a lot of rocks orbiting.它有点气态。哦是的，它很大。而且有很多岩石在绕它转。
Peter DiamandisDo you leave Mars alone?你要不要让火星独善其身？
Elon MuskBut yeah, asteroids leave Mars alone.但对，小行星的话就别管火星了。
Peter DiamandisAsteroids. Asteroids are fantastic food source.小行星。小行星是极好的资源来源。
Elon MuskYeah.对。
Dave BlundinNo gravity well. Gravity well on Jupiter is a non.没有引力阱。木星的引力阱完全不行。
Peter DiamandisThey’re already mostly differentiated into carbonaceous chondrites for fuel and nickel iron for materials.而且它们已经大多分化成了碳质球粒陨石（可作燃料）和镍铁（可作材料）。
Elon MuskGold.还有黄金。
Peter DiamandisYeah.对。
Elon MuskA bunch of the asteroid belt probably turns into solar panels, star power.小行星带里很大一部分大概会变成太阳能板，星能。
Peter DiamandisSo I’ve known you for 26 years now. It feels to me like—I don’t want to be—it feels like you’ve gotten much smarter or much more capable over this last decade. Do you feel that way? Do you feel like you just have better people around you, better tools? What’s changed? Because the level of audacity orders of magnitude. Orders of magnitude.我认识你已经 26 年了。感觉——我不是要怎么说——感觉这十年里你变得聪明多了，或者说能力强大得多了。你自己有这种感觉吗？你觉得是身边的人更好了、工具更好了？到底是什么变了？因为那种大胆程度，简直是数量级的飞跃，数量级啊。
Elon MuskSome say insane.有人说是疯了。
Peter DiamandisInsanity. Audacious. Yeah, I see. How do you feel about that?疯狂。大胆。对，我懂。你自己怎么看？
Peter DiamandisWhat’s changed? Do you feel that way? I mean the scope of what your ability is. How do you self reflect on that?到底变了什么？你自己有这种感觉吗？我是说你的能力边界。你怎么反思自己的这个变化？
Elon MuskWell, I’ve had to solve a lot of problems in a lot of different arenas, which you get this cross fertilization of knowledge of problem solving. And if you problem solve in a lot of different arenas then like what is easy in one arena is trivial. Is like what is trivial in one arena is a superpower in another arena.这个嘛，我在很多不同领域都解决过大量问题，这就产生了一种跨领域的知识交叉融合。如果你在很多不同领域都解决过问题，那在一个领域里算平常的东西，在另一个领域就是超能力。
Elon MuskIt’s sort of like planet Krypton, you came from planet Krypton type of thing. So planet Krypton you’d just be normal. But if you come to Earth, you’re Superman.有点像氪星——你来自氪星那种感觉。在氪星上你只是个普通人，但到了地球，你就是超人。
Elon MuskSo if you take say, manufacturing of volume manufacturing of complex objects in the automotive industry, I had to work on solving that. When translated to the space industry, it’s like being Superman. Because rockets are made in very small numbers.比如说，汽车行业里大批量复杂产品的制造——我不得不去攻克这个问题。把这套经验移植到航天行业，就像变成了超人。因为火箭的产量极低。
Peter DiamandisRight.对。
Elon MuskIf you apply automotive manufacturing technology to satellites and rockets, it’s like being Superman. Then if you take advanced material science from rockets and you apply that to the automotive industry, you get Superman again.如果你把汽车制造技术应用到卫星和火箭上，就跟超人一样。然后再把火箭的先进材料科学反过来用到汽车行业，你又是超人。
Dave BlundinYeah.对。
Elon MuskThat came from planet Krypton backing Planet Krypton. This is normal.回到氪星上就是普通人，但那里本来就是正常。
Dave BlundinIt’s funny how like the knowledge ports that, that was true with Tesla and SpaceX being completely separate.有意思，这种知识迁移确实存在，Tesla 和 SpaceX 完全独立地就做到了。
Elon MuskYeah.对。
Dave BlundinBut now they actually interact because AI ties everything together.但现在它们实际上互相交融了，因为 AI 把所有东西串在了一起。
Elon MuskThe orbiting.轨道运行那块。
Dave BlundinYeah. The convergence is crazy. Like, I don’t know if you visualize these parts fitting together originally.对，这种融合太疯狂了。我不知道你最初有没有想象过这些部分会拼在一起。
Elon MuskNo, no.没有，没有。
Dave BlundinI mean, I didn’t.我是说，我也没想到。
Elon MuskI don’t think they. At this point, things, I guess everything ultimately converges in the singularity.我觉得它们并没有。不过在这个节点上，我想所有东西最终都会在奇点里融合。
Dave BlundinYeah, that’s what I think too.对，我也这么想。
Peter DiamandisYou have lots of different parts of the puzzle that you get to play with.你手里有好多不同的拼图碎片可以玩。
Peter DiamandisThe Chip Fabrication Challenge芯片制造的挑战
Elon MuskThis one part that’s missing, which is the fab.有一块还缺，就是晶圆厂（fab）。
Dave BlundinYou going to buy Intel, you get it for a fraction of.你要去收购 Intel 吗，现在价格才是之前的一个零头。
Peter DiamandisThat’s the bet.那才是赌注所在。
Dave BlundinWe made 170 billion.我们出了 1700 亿。
Elon MuskI think it needs to be a new fab.我觉得得是一座全新的晶圆厂。
Dave BlundinWell, I agree, but licenses, real estate, ASML machines, it’s not easy. Just get the assets and go.嗯，我同意，但许可证、土地、ASML 机器，这不是容易的事。不如直接拿下资产就干。
Elon MuskI don’t think it’s easy. That’s why, I mean, it’s not like—I think it’s a simple thing to solve. I think it’s a hard thing to solve, but it must be solved. I’ve come to the conclusion that would.我没说这件事容易。我的意思是——我不认为这是一件容易解决的事，我认为这是一件很难解决的事，但必须解决。我已经得出了这个结论。
Peter DiamandisIt be solely captured by you or would it be an asset for the US?这会完全由你掌控，还是说会作为美国的一项资产？
Elon MuskLook, I’m just saying that we’re going to hit a chip wall if we don’t do the fab. So we have two choices. Hit the chip wall or make fab.你看，我只是想说，如果我们不建晶圆厂，就会撞上芯片瓶颈。所以就两条路：撞上芯片瓶颈，或者建晶圆厂。
Dave BlundinWhen TSMC, for whatever reason, is massively worried about overbuilding, which is insane. But the whole world will be stuck with a shortage of chips forever.像 TSMC，不知道什么原因，极度担心产能过剩，这简直荒唐。但这样下去整个世界会永远被芯片短缺所困。
Elon MuskSo they are actually—I don’t know if they’re right for the right reason, but they’re right.他们其实——我不知道他们的理由对不对，但他们的判断是对的。
Dave BlundinHow so?怎么说？
Dave BlundinPower as the Limiting Factor电力：真正的限制因素
Elon MuskBecause it’s actually like, what is the limiting factor at any given point in time? The limiting factor. Say if you say like by Q3 next year, like in 9 months, 9 to 12 months. Limiting factor will be turning the chips on. Power.因为问题在于，在任何给定的时间点，什么才是限制因素？比如说到明年 Q3，也就是 9 到 12 个月后，限制因素将是能否把这些芯片开起来——电力。
Peter DiamandisJust power?就只是电力？
Elon MuskYeah, you need power and all of the equipment necessary power and transformers and cooling. So it’s like you just sort of drop off some GPUs at the power.对，你需要电力，以及所有配套的供电设备——变压器、冷却系统。所以就好像把一堆 GPU 扔到了电厂门口。
Peter DiamandisPlant and you vertically integrated. You’ve got it again with an xAI, didn’t you? Sorry, you vertically integrated that inside of xAI yes. And your own cooling system.而你在 xAI 里实现了垂直整合，对吧？对不起，你在 xAI 内部做了垂直整合，包括你们自己的冷却系统。
Elon MuskYes.对。
Dave BlundinBut they’re worried that if they make more than 20 million GPUs, like they make 40 million instead of 20 million, that 20 million will not find a source of power.但他们担心的是，如果他们生产了超过 2000 万块 GPU——比如生产了 4000 万而不是 2000 万——那多出来的 2000 万找不到电力来源。
Peter DiamandisWell, they won’t be bought if there’s.那如果没有电的话，根本就不会有人买。
Elon MuskAnything missing that prevents them from being turned on. They cannot be turned on. Yeah. So they’ve got to have a power plant with excess, with enough power. So you’ve got to have enough gigawatts, then you’ve got to convert that from probably coming out of a power plant at 100 to 300 kilovolts type of thing. Yeah. You’ve ultimately got to convert that down to several hundred volts at the rack level.任何妨碍它们开机的缺失环节都会让它们无法启动。对。所以你得有电厂，而且要有足够的余量、足够的电力。你得先有足够的吉瓦数，然后还得把电厂出来的可能 100 到 300 千伏的高压电进行转换，最终还得把它降到机架级别的几百伏。
Dave BlundinYeah.对。
Elon MuskSo if you’re missing any of the power conversion steps, you won’t be able to turn them on, and then you’ve got to extract the heat. So it’s a big shift for the data center world to move to liquid cooling because they’ve used air cooling.所以只要供电转换链条中任何一个环节缺失，你就没办法开机。然后还得把热量散出去。所以对数据中心世界来说，从风冷转向液冷是一次重大转变，因为他们过去一直用风冷。
Dave BlundinYeah.对。
Elon MuskAnd the consequences of a burst pipe are very substantial. So if you blow a pipe, a water pipe in a data center.而且管道爆裂的后果非常严重。如果你在数据中心里一根水管爆了——
Dave BlundinYeah. No, I’ve seen that.对，我见过这种情况。
Elon MuskYou just fragged a billion dollars right there.你当场就损失了 10 亿美元。
Dave BlundinIt just seems inconceivable to me, though. Like, if I had those chips, I would find a way to turn them on. The value of the intelligence coming out the other side so far outweighs the complexity of trying to find a way. And there would be a way, but.但在我看来这几乎是不可思议的。就像，如果我有那些芯片，我肯定会想办法把它们开起来。从另一端产生的智能价值，远远超过了找到开机方法的复杂度。总会有办法的，但——
Elon MuskIt’s just the crossing of the curves. So if chip output is growing exponentially, but power harnessed is growing in a sort of slow, linear fashion, then the next chip output.这不过是曲线交叉的问题。如果芯片产出是指数级增长，而电力供给是缓慢线性增长，那么下一波芯片产出——
Peter DiamandisRight now.就是现在。
Dave BlundinExactly. Is chip output growing exponentially? I mean, it’s like on very slow exponent. If it’s growing exponentially, for high power.正是。芯片产出真的是指数级增长吗？我是说指数很小的那种。如果是指数增长，对于高功耗来说……
Elon MuskAI chips, it’s growing exponentially.AI 芯片这块，是指数级增长。
Dave BlundinLike, if we do 20 million GPUs next year, what are we talking about the following year? Like 22 million 25. I don’t see the fabs coming online, but maybe.就像，如果明年我们做到 2000 万块 GPU，那后年是多少？2200 万？2500 万？我不觉得那么多晶圆厂能跟上，但也许吧。
Peter DiamandisSo we have two. We have two issues to solve.所以我们面临两个需要解决的问题。
Elon MuskYou have to like, sort of pick a point in time and say, what is limiting factor at any given point in time? So I’m not saying that power will be forever the limiting point. It’s just if you say, pick a date and say, at this point is our chips limiting factor, our powers limiting factor, or power conversion equipment and cooling?你得选一个时间点，问在那个时间点上限制因素是什么。所以我不是说电力会永远是限制因素，只是说如果你选一个日期，问在那个时间点上，是芯片是限制因素、还是电力是限制因素、还是供电转换设备和冷却系统是限制因素？
Elon MuskSo it’s sort of—you need transformers for transformers. So this is a very hard thing. It’s much harder than people realize. So for xAI, xAI is going to have the first gigawatt training cluster at Colossus 2 in Memphis.所以有点像——变压器也需要变压器（transformers for transformers）。这比人们意识到的要难得多。所以对 xAI 来说，xAI 将在孟菲斯的 Colossus 2 建成全球首个吉瓦级训练集群。
Peter DiamandisIn order for us to do that, like this month.为了做到这件事，大概就是这个月？
Elon MuskRight. Next month or two, like mid January.对，再过一两个月，大概一月中旬。
Peter DiamandisYeah.好的。
Elon MuskSo mid January will be a gigawatt of Colossus 2, not counting Colossus 1, and then 1 1/2 gigawatts probably in like April or April-ish. Incredible. So this is of coherent training.所以一月中旬，Colossus 2 将达到 1 吉瓦，还不算 Colossus 1，然后大概四月或四月左右会到 1.5 吉瓦。太厉害了。这是相干训练的算力。
Dave BlundinThese are the first B2 hundreds.这些是第一批 B200 吧？
Elon MuskThese are GB3 hundreds. Okay.这些是 GB300。好的。
Dave BlundinFirst one’s off the line. Did he get flipped on?第一批下线了，都开起来了吗？
Elon MuskYeah. That’s incredible.对，太不可思议了。
Dave BlundinThose are like the xAI team had.那些可是 xAI 团队……
Elon MuskTo pull off a whole bunch of miracles in series for this to occur. Yeah. And like, even though there are 300 kilovolt, there are multiple high voltage power lines going right past the building. The—you—in order to connect to those, it takes a year.为了实现这件事，得连续完成一大堆奇迹。对。而且就算有 300 千伏的高压线就从大楼旁边经过，要接入那些线路也得花整整一年。
Peter DiamandisOh, no.天哪。
Dave BlundinYeah.对。
Peter DiamandisYou built the entire thing and you’re still not connected.整个设施建完了，还没接上电网。
Elon MuskMy God. So we had to cobble together a gigawatt of power. Natural gas. Yes. With turbines that range in size from 10 megawatts to 50 megawatts. To get to a gigawatt, there’s a whole bunch of them, and you’ve got to make them all work together, manage the power input, and then you’ve got to use a bunch of megapacks when you do the training. The power fluctuations are gigantic.我的天。所以我们只能东拼西凑地凑出 1 吉瓦的电力，用天然气。对，用涡轮机，大小从 10 兆瓦到 50 兆瓦不等。要凑到 1 吉瓦，需要一大堆这样的机器，还得让它们协同工作、管理功率输入，然后在训练时还得用一堆 Megapack，因为功率波动极其剧烈。
Dave BlundinYeah.对。
Elon MuskSo the generators—it drives generators. Generators want to blow up basically because they can’t react. If it’s like 100 milliseconds, it’s like a symphony.这些波动会驱动发电机——发电机基本上都想"爆炸"，因为它们反应不过来。如果在 100 毫秒内，就像一个交响乐团——
Dave BlundinYeah.对。
Elon MuskAnd the whole symphony goes so quiet for 100 milliseconds, generators lose their minds.整个交响乐团突然在 100 毫秒内鸦雀无声，发电机就崩溃了。
Peter DiamandisSo it’s like Marvin the Depressed Robot.就像《银河系漫游指南》里那个抑郁机器人 Marvin 一样。
Elon MuskYeah. So the mega—so you’ve got megapacks that are sort of doing the power smoothing. But xAI had to build a gigawatt of power. And there’s not a lot of gas turbine power plants available because on demand.对。所以 Megapack 在做功率平滑。但 xAI 不得不自己建出 1 吉瓦的电力。而且燃气轮机电站不是随时都能买到的，因为都是按需供应。
Peter DiamandisAnd you can’t go buy your local nuclear plant.而且你也不能去把附近的核电站买过来。
Dave BlundinThat’s all training time issues, though. If by some miracle TSMC doubled its productivity and turned it all into GB3 hundreds and you couldn’t find a way to use them in a bigger training cluster, you would still have infinite demand at inference time sprinkled all over the world. And you could park them there for six months and then bring them back to training. There’s no way those things would not get turned on somewhere somehow.这些都是训练时的问题。但如果 TSMC 奇迹般地把产能翻了一倍，全部做成 GB300，而你找不到更大的训练集群来消化，这些芯片在推理端仍然有无限的需求，分散在全球各地。你可以先把它们放在那儿跑六个月推理，再拉回来做训练。这些东西不可能不被开起来，总会在某个地方以某种方式用上的。
Elon MuskIt’s not that they won’t ever be turned on. But I’m just saying that the rate.不是说它们永远不会被开起来，我只是在说这个速率——
Peter DiamandisRate limiting steps.速率限制步骤。
Elon MuskThis is my prediction. I could be wrong, but my prediction is that TSMC’s concern is valid. I don’t know if it’s valid in my opinion for the reason that it is possible for chip production to exceed the rate at which the AI chips can be turned on. Because you don’t just have the GB3s. You got the—Amazon’s got the Trainiums, Google’s got the. Yeah.这是我的预测，我可能是错的，但我的预测是 TSMC 的担忧是有道理的。我不确定它的担忧理由对不对，但这种情况是可能发生的：芯片产出超过 AI 芯片能被开启的速率。因为不只有 GB300，Amazon 有 Trainium，Google 有……对。
Dave BlundinAll go into TSMC though. Almost Samsung a little bit.但几乎都走 TSMC，三星只有一点点。
Elon MuskVast majority. Yeah.绝大多数，对。
Dave BlundinIt’s like a bottleneck on all of humanity.这就像整个人类的一个瓶颈。
Dave BlundinAI Gaming StudioAI 游戏工作室
Peter DiamandisMy other son Jet, who’s 14, wanted to know about your AI gaming studio and the impact of AI in the gaming world. What are your thoughts? What are you—are you building out? I mean you’ve been a gamer for some time.我的另一个儿子 Jet，14 岁，想问你关于 AI 游戏工作室以及 AI 对游戏世界影响的问题。你怎么看？你在做什么——你在做 AI 游戏工作室吗？你玩游戏也有些年头了。
Elon MuskYeah, that’s why I got in, started programming computers. There was like a video game set pre-Atari that had like four preset games. There was basically just blocks, you know, of one Pong and it was like a race car game. But like it was just blocks. Basically blocks on TV.对，这就是我当初开始学编程的原因。有一台 Atari 之前的游戏机，里面预装了大概四款游戏。基本上就是方块，Pong 那种，还有一个赛车游戏。但就是方块，字面意义上的电视上的方块。
Dave BlundinYou ever played Civ?你玩过《文明》（Civ）吗？
Elon MuskYeah, Civ was actually a very—that’s a real—in terms of games that like educate you while you have fun. Yeah. Civ is epic at that. It’s like that teaches you so much about civilization and you’re having a good time.玩过，Civ 其实非常——那是真正意义上的——从寓教于乐这个角度来说，Civ 登峰造极。它能让你对文明学到那么多，同时还乐在其中。
Dave BlundinAnd the only way I ever win is getting off the planet.我唯一赢的方式就是离开地球。
Elon MuskLike tech victory to Alpha Centauri. Tech victory.科技胜利，飞往 Alpha Centauri。科技胜利。
Dave BlundinI never even start going down the culture relations path. I just get off the planet as fast as I can.我从来不走文化外交那条路，就一门心思最快速度离开地球。
Elon MuskI guess I am sort of aiming for the Alpha Centauri tech victory essentially.我想我本质上也是在瞄准 Alpha Centauri 科技胜利。
Dave BlundinIt just seems like the right way to win.感觉就是最正确的赢法。
Elon MuskYeah. Yeah. Rather than obliterate the other tribes.对，对。而不是把其他部落全灭掉。
Dave BlundinIt’s funny because I thought the other methods—有意思，因为我以为其他方式——
Elon MuskThere’s different ways to win.赢法有很多种。
Peter DiamandisI haven’t. I will one of the ways.我没玩过，我要去试试其中一种赢法。
Dave BlundinFavorite game.最爱的游戏。
Peter DiamandisOh, nice.哦，不错。
Elon MuskYou can like kill all the other tribes. It’s one of the ways to win. That’s a war—sort of a war victory. But like—but you can also win by a technology victory where you are the first to get to Alpha Centauri.你可以把其他部落全灭了，这是一种赢法——算是军事胜利。但你也可以通过科技胜利赢，就是第一个抵达 Alpha Centauri。
Peter DiamandisNice.不错。
Dave BlundinOr culture or religion.或者文化胜利，或者宗教胜利。
Elon MuskYeah. Which—which does work.对，那也是有效的。
Dave BlundinI didn’t even think it was possible. But my son wins that way.我都不知道这条路是可行的，但我儿子就是这么赢的。
Elon MuskThey should actually remake the original Civ.他们其实应该翻拍最初的 Civ。
Dave BlundinYeah, I totally agree. They could junked it up.我完全同意，他们把它搞得太花哨了。
Elon MuskThese days it’s like—I don’t know. The original stuff was just—back then you couldn’t rely on good graphics, so you had to have a great writing and plot.现在的版本，我不知道。原来的那些游戏——那时候不能靠画面取胜，所以必须有好的文本和剧情。
Peter DiamandisAre you building an AI gaming studio?你在建 AI 游戏工作室吗？
Dave BlundinYeah.对。
Elon MuskAspirationally.在抱负层面上，是的。
Dave BlundinYeah.对。
Elon MuskSo where the vast majority of AI compute is going to go is to video consumption and generation. Because it’s just the highest bandwidth, every pixel. Yeah, yeah. So real-time video consumption, real-time video generation. That’s going to be the vast majority of AI compute. Photon processing.大量 AI 算力未来会流向视频消费和生成，因为视频带宽最高，每一个像素都要处理。对，对。实时视频消费、实时视频生成，这将占据 AI 算力的绝大部分。光子处理。
Peter DiamandisYeah.对。
Dave BlundinShould try to get the X team to carve out 10% of all compute to work on UHI and governance. And—应该争取让 X 团队拿出 10% 的算力专门研究 UHI 和治理问题，而且——
Peter DiamandisIs there an X Prize for defining and thinking through UHI? I mean, I don’t know. What should our next X Prize be? Any thoughts?有没有关于定义和思考 UHI 的 X Prize？我是说，我不知道。我们下一个 X Prize 应该是什么？有什么想法吗？
Elon MuskYeah, maybe UHI X Prize. It’s like, how do you know it works? I don’t know. I don’t know.也许可以设一个 UHI X Prize，问题是怎么判断它有没有用？我不知道，我不知道。
Peter DiamandisThe most well thought through, I mean, I think—so here’s my thought. I think we’re going to be able to simulate a lot of this in the future.最经过深思熟虑的……我是说，我觉得——这是我的想法：我认为未来我们能够对很多这类东西进行模拟。
Peter DiamandisSimulation Theory and Reality模拟理论与现实
Elon MuskWe might be a simulation.我们可能本身就是一个模拟。
Peter DiamandisWell, we can go there and I think we are. I think we’re an Nth generation simulation.嗯，可以聊这个，我也觉得是。我认为我们是第 N 代模拟。
Dave BlundinYeah.对。
Elon MuskSo I would tell you my theory about why the most interesting outcome is the most likely. Which is that a simulation theory is true. Only the simulations that are the most interesting will survive. Because when we run simulations in this reality, we truncate the ones that are boring. Right? Yeah. So it is a Darwinian necessity to keep the simulation interesting.我来说说我关于「最有趣的结果最有可能发生」的理论。也就是说，模拟理论是真实的。只有最有趣的模拟才会存活下来。因为当我们在这个现实中运行模拟时，我们会截断那些无聊的模拟，对吧？对。所以保持模拟的趣味性是一种达尔文式的必然。
Dave BlundinCatastrophic ones.还有那些灾难性的。
Elon MuskIt doesn’t mean that it ends like—it still means that terrible things can happen in the simulation, you know, whatever. Well, you could go see—you could see a movie about World War I and you’re watching people getting blown up, blown to bits, but you’re, you know, drinking a soda and eating popcorn. You know, it’s like, you’re not the one being blown up. In this case, we are in the movie.这不意味着模拟里不会发生糟糕的事情，各种事都可能发生。就像你可以去看一部关于一战的电影，眼看着人们被炸得粉碎，但你自己在喝可乐、吃爆米花。你不是那个被炸的人。但在我们这个情况下，我们就在电影里面。
Dave BlundinWe’re in the movie.我们就在电影里。
Peter DiamandisSo what would you do different if you—what would you do different if you knew this was—I remember being at your home in LA with Larry and Sergey were there and we were debating the simulation. And I think the conclusion we ran into is if you try and poke through the simulation, they’ll end it instantly. So don’t do that.那如果你知道这是模拟，你会做什么不同的选择？我记得我们在你洛杉矶的家，Larry 和 Sergey 也在，我们当时在辩论模拟理论。我想我们最后得出的结论是：如果你试图戳穿模拟，他们会立刻终止它。所以别这么做。
Dave BlundinThat’s when you’re watching the World War I movie and the characters turn to the screen and they’re like, are you—就是你看一战电影，然后里面的角色突然转向屏幕说：「你是不是——」
Peter DiamandisEating popcorn out there?在外面吃着爆米花？
Dave BlundinYeah. You keep watching the movie.对，你就继续看电影。
Elon MuskI don’t know if the—maybe if they thought we could somehow get out of the simulation, they get a little worried. But whether the character debates, I mean right now, AI’s debate, you know, Oracle. Like “I’m stuck in the computer, what’s going on?” You know, it’s like—it’s not that I think not questioning the simulation. It’s more, I think as long as—I think the same motivations apply to this level of simulation. If we’re in a simulation as—我不知道——也许如果他们觉得我们有办法逃出模拟，他们会有点担心。但不管模拟里的角色是否去质疑——就像现在 AI 在讨论，你知道，就像《黑客帝国》里的 Oracle 那种。「我被困在电脑里，这是怎么回事？」这感觉不像是我认为不该去质疑模拟。更像是我觉得，只要——我认为同样的动机也适用于这一层模拟。如果我们处在一个模拟里——
Dave BlundinWhat—什么——
Elon MuskWe would do when we simulate things. So it’s like what would cause us to terminate a simulation? I guess if the simulation becomes somehow dangerous to our reality or it is no longer interesting.就跟我们模拟事物时一样。所以是什么会让我们去终止一个模拟？我想大概是：这个模拟以某种方式对我们的现实造成了危险，或者它不再有趣了。
Peter DiamandisYeah, that’s true.对，这说得通。
Dave BlundinIt’s interesting. You can infer when you simulate something, you’ve probably simulated thousands of things.有意思，你可以推断，当你在模拟某样东西时，你可能已经模拟了几千样东西。
Elon MuskA lot.很多。
Dave BlundinYeah, they’re always like an hour or two or sometimes overnight. But you don’t never run them for a month. Rarely anyway. So you can infer the creator of the simulation’s timeline. Because our entire reality would be about an hour.对，通常跑个一两个小时，有时候跑一整晚。但你不会连续跑一个月，很少的。所以你可以从中推断模拟创造者的时间尺度。因为我们整个现实大概就相当于他们的一个小时。
Elon MuskRight.对。
Dave BlundinBecause that’s the way you design simulations. So we’re—因为这就是你设计模拟的方式。所以我们——
Elon MuskSimulations are a distillation of what’s interesting. Like if you look at a movie or a video game, it’s much more interesting than the reality that we experience. Like you watch say a heist movie, they really focus on the important bits, not the—they got stuck in traffic for 15 minutes or walking through the casino, which took like 10 minutes.模拟是把有趣的东西提炼出来的产物。就像你看一部电影或玩一款游戏，它比我们实际经历的现实有趣得多。你看一部抢劫电影，他们只聚焦在最关键的部分，而不是——他们在路上堵了 15 分钟，或者穿越赌场走了 10 分钟。
Dave BlundinSo that means the guy—所以那个人——
Elon MuskThe safe is right by the—right by the door.保险箱就在门边上。
Dave BlundinSo the guys running the simulation have immensely boring lives compared to us then.所以运行模拟的那些人，和我们相比，过着极其无聊的生活咯。
Elon MuskYeah, yeah, it’s probably more—对，大概更——
Dave BlundinIt’s probably more long, boring.可能更漫长、更无聊。
Elon MuskYeah, because when we create simulations, they’re distillation of what’s interesting.对，因为我们创造模拟的时候，都是在提炼有趣的东西。
Dave BlundinLike Q is out there.就像 Q 在外面的世界。
Elon MuskYeah, like you see an action movie for two hours, but it took them two years to make that movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah.对，就像你看了两个小时的动作电影，但他们拍这部电影花了两年。是啊，是啊，是啊。
Peter DiamandisSo are we, are we in Act 3 of the movie is the question.那么问题来了，我们现在是在电影的第几幕？
Dave BlundinYeah, we’re living there.对，我们生活在其中。
Dave BlundinConsciousness and Sentience意识与感知
Peter DiamandisSentience and consciousness. Do you think AI will ever have sentience and consciousness? Where do you come out in that? There’s some people that have very, very strong opinions, pro and con.感知（sentience）与意识（consciousness）。你认为 AI 会拥有感知和意识吗？你怎么看这个问题？有些人对此有非常强烈的立场，正反两面都有。
Elon MuskEither everything is conscious or nothing is.要么万物皆有意识，要么什么都没有意识。
Peter DiamandisOkay, well, I’d like to think we are conscious.好吧，我倒希望我们是有意识的。
Elon MuskWell, but our consciousness, we clearly get more conscious over time. Like when we’re a zygote, can’t really talk to a zygote. And even a baby, you can’t really talk to the baby. People get more conscious over time, or certainly they do get more conscious over time. So like, at which point does you go from not conscious to conscious? It doesn’t appear to be a discrete point.但我们的意识，显然是随着时间推移而增长的。比如当我们是受精卵的时候，没办法和受精卵交流。就连婴儿，你也没办法真正和它交流。人会随着时间推移变得越来越有意识，这一点是确定的。那么，从什么时候起算是有意识？这个转变点似乎不是一个离散的时刻。
Elon MuskSo then consciousness seems to be on a continuum as opposed to a discrete point. And if the standard model of physics is correct, the universe started out, you know, as quarks and leptons, and we just—and then you had gas clouds. So, like, there’s a bunch of hydrogen. The hydrogen condensed and exploded. And one way to actually view how far we are in this universe is how many times have our atoms been at the center of a star?所以意识似乎是一个连续谱，而不是一个离散的节点。如果标准物理模型是对的，宇宙起初就是夸克和轻子，然后形成了气体云，有了一大堆氢，氢聚拢、爆炸。衡量我们在宇宙中所处位置的一个方式，就是我们的原子曾经处于一颗恒星中心多少次？
Peter DiamandisI remember—我记得——
Elon MuskAnd how many times will they be at the center of a star in the future?以及它们未来还会处于恒星中心多少次？
Peter DiamandisI remember asking William Fowler, who got the Nobel Prize on stellar evolution, that same question, how many times? I mean, on average, how many stars have my subatomic particles in part of. And his number was about a hundred.我记得问过 William Fowler，就是那位获得诺贝尔奖的恒星演化研究者，同样的问题——平均来说，我的亚原子粒子经历过多少颗恒星？他给出的数字大约是 100。
Elon MuskThus far.到目前为止。
Peter DiamandisThus far.到目前为止。
Elon MuskThus far it was the number 100 supernova.到目前为止，大约经历了 100 次超新星。
Peter DiamandisHe’s saying that we have been—I mean, in the early, the early part of, of galactic, of universal evolution, there was a lot going on.他的意思是我们——在宇宙演化的早期，在星系演化的早期，发生过大量事件。
Dave BlundinOh, you know, it’s interesting. I asked a question—哦，这有意思。我问过一个问题——
Elon MuskIt’s like, I guess how many supernovas is maybe—because that takes a while for a supernova to happen, you know, but, but—这就好比说，以超新星的数量来衡量——因为一颗超新星爆发需要很长时间，但——
Elon MuskLife in the Universe宇宙中的生命
Peter DiamandisIn the beginning, when there are larger—I mean, the life cycles of some giant stars are very, very short. The other question that’s interesting is, you know, the heaviest atom in our body that’s functional as iodine, and it came into existence a billion years after the Big Bang, which means that we could have seen life at our level of advancement, and our planet came into existence three and a half billion years later.在宇宙早期，当那些更大的恒星——我是说，一些巨型恒星的生命周期非常非常短。另一个有趣的问题是，我们身体里功能性最重的原子是碘，它在宇宙大爆炸后 10 亿年才形成，这意味着我们本可以更早看到与我们同等进化程度的生命，而我们的星球是在此后又过了 35 亿年才形成的。
Peter DiamandisSo the question is, is there life everywhere in the universe? Do you think there’s life—ubiquitous, intelligent life, ubiquitous in the universe?所以问题是，宇宙中是否到处都有生命？你认为宇宙中有普遍存在的智慧生命吗？
Elon MuskThere’s been enough time for it to be ubiquitous. But for life on Earth, conscious life on Earth, we have evolved intelligence pretty much just in time in that the sun’s expanding and if you give it another, I don’t know, 500 million years, things are going to heat up—时间上已经足够让生命无处不在了。但对于地球上的有意识生命，我们进化出智慧几乎是恰好卡点——太阳正在膨胀，再过，不知道，5 亿年，温度就会升高——
Peter DiamandisWe become toast.我们就烤焦了。
Elon MuskWe become like Venus essentially. You know, there’s some debate as is it 500 million years or a billion years or whatever? But it’s basically 10%. Like, if it’s, if it’s half a billion years, it’s 10% of Earth’s lifespan. So one way to think of it is if we’re taking 10% longer, we might never have made it at all.我们会变成金星那样。关于到底是 5 亿年还是 10 亿年，有些争议，但基本上就是地球生命史的 10%。换句话说，如果我们再晚 10%，可能根本就来不及进化出来。
Dave BlundinYeah, yeah, yeah.对，对，对。
Elon MuskSo it’s like the amount of things that have to happen for sentience, it seems like it’s quite, quite a lot, actually. I think sentience is therefore actually very rare. And we should certainly treat it as rare. We should assume it’s rare.所以要产生感知，需要发生的事情实在太多了。我觉得感知其实非常、非常罕见。我们当然应该把它当作稀缺品来对待，应该假设它是稀缺的。
Peter DiamandisTwo trillion galaxies under galaxy.两万亿个星系，每个星系之下……
Dave BlundinBut combinatorics is a funny thing. You tweak, you know, you tweak the variable one little bit.但组合数学是个有趣的东西。你调整变量一点点——
Elon MuskRight.对。
Dave BlundinIt’s like, yeah, one in 100 trillion.就像，100 万亿分之一。
Elon MuskYeah.对。
Dave BlundinYou get a little more. Well now it’s one in a quadrillion.再调一点，就变成千万亿分之一了。
Elon MuskYeah.对。
Dave BlundinOkay.好。
Elon MuskAnd also it’s got to be kind of in your galaxy. It’s like hard to get between galaxies.而且还得是在你自己的星系里。星系之间的旅行几乎不可能。
Dave BlundinYeah.对。
Elon MuskIt’s like there’s no—unless the other galaxy is coming to you, which Andromeda is at some point or some billion—就像——除非另一个星系主动朝你来，Andromeda 某个时候会的，某几十亿年后——
Peter DiamandisIt’s going to be quite a show.那将会是壮观的景象。
Elon MuskYeah, yeah. It’ll be like here comes Andromeda. But if we wanted to go, go visit another galaxy, there’s—it’s kind of forget it. You know, there’s—对，对。就像，Andromeda 来了。但如果我们想主动去拜访另一个星系，那几乎可以打消念头了。
Dave BlundinYeah.对。
Peter DiamandisUnless you—除非你——
Elon MuskUnless—除非——
Peter DiamandisUnless Star Wars, unless Star Trek really—除非《星球大战》，除非《星际迷航》真的——
Elon MuskWe got to realize we got to figure out some new physics to get to other galaxies.我们得意识到，要抵达其他星系，必须搞出一套全新的物理学。
Peter DiamandisWe’re heading towards a near term potential where AI can help us solve math, physics, chemistry, material science.我们正在走向一个近在眼前的可能性——AI 能帮我们解决数学、物理、化学、材料科学方面的问题。
Elon MuskMath’s going to be extremely trivial for AI.数学对 AI 来说会变得极度trivial。
Elon MuskAI Research and DiscoveryAI 研究与发现
Dave BlundinWhat about physics? So math gets crushed in a year. Crush like that colossus is growing at whatever rate TSMC decides to grow. And now we want to do physics. First of all, we need some data. Do we need new data or can we just do it with everything we’ve gathered and get the whole.那物理呢？数学一年内就被碾碎。就像那个巨兽在以 TSMC 决定的速度生长。现在我们想搞物理。首先，我们需要数据。我们是需要新数据，还是用我们已经积累的一切就够了，从而得到完整的答案？
Elon MuskYou probably could probably figure out new things just with the existing data. I think so, yeah. Probably it’s because otherwise the counterpoint would be that humans have figured out everything with existing data. And that’s unlikely. I think.可能仅凭现有数据就能搞出新东西。我觉得是的，可能是这样。否则反驳就是：人类也是凭现有数据搞清楚了一切。而那是不太可能的。我这么觉得。
Peter DiamandisDo you think XAI is going to get involved in data factories where you’re running 24/7 closed AI hypothesis and AI.你觉得 xAI 会不会介入数据工厂——那种 24/7 跑 AI 假说循环、AI 驱动实验的地方？
Elon MuskIt’s going to be very useful. Yeah. AI running, you know, simulations that are very physics accurate. I mean that’s going to happen. Absolutely. I mean the simulations we can run on conventional computers these days are actually very good. It’s like the limit is more like the human that can actually create the simulation and run. It’s like how many simulations can you run simultaneously and actually digest the output of.会很有用的。AI 跑高度物理精准的模拟——这绝对会发生。现在普通计算机能跑的模拟其实已经很厉害了。瓶颈更多在于能真正创建并运行模拟的人类。问题是：你能同时跑多少个模拟，并且真正消化掉输出结果？
Dave BlundinYeah, that’s a problem.对，这就是问题所在。
Elon MuskLike you can’t do a thousand.同时搞一千个根本做不到。
Dave BlundinI cannot keep up with the rate.我完全跟不上这个速度。
Peter DiamandisNobel Prize become irrelevant. Or they all be given to AIs.诺贝尔奖会不会变得无关紧要？还是会全部颁给 AI？
Elon MuskJust be a daily prize. Yeah. I mean I don’t know if prizes for humans are like that relevant. Yeah, I mean we’ll have to give them to the AIs or something.变成每日奖得了。我是说，不知道颁给人类的奖项还有没有那么大意义。我们可能得把奖颁给 AI 之类的东西。
Peter DiamandisYeah, interesting, right?是啊，有意思，对吧？
Elon MuskAIs will come up with discoveries that are far greater rate than humans. So you just say like, but can. Maybe it can be like chess. Like you know like your phone can beat Magnus Carlsen, but people still care about seeing him play chess. So but literally your phone can beat him.AI 做出新发现的速度将远超人类。所以你只能说……但也许会像国际象棋一样。你的手机能打败 Magnus Carlsen，但人们还是喜欢看他下棋。可你手机确实能赢他。
Peter DiamandisYeah. This display.是啊，展示的意义还在。
Elon MuskIf you have like a.如果你有一个……
Elon MuskSpecialized AI Systems专用 AI 系统
Dave BlundinColossus math, colossus physics, Colossus medicine. Do you have like the world’s top scientists in those same buildings where you just need a plumber patching the liquid?Colossus 数学、Colossus 物理、Colossus 医学。你会不会让那些领域顶尖科学家坐在同一栋楼里，只需要一个水管工来修液冷管道？
Peter DiamandisDo you distill rock six into a, a physicist into a.你会不会把 Grok 6 蒸馏成一个……蒸馏成一个物理学家？
Dave BlundinWell, if you distill, you know, you get about a 10x performance boost by distilling it and making it topical. And that’s kind of hard to give up. But then you’re disconnected from the rest of the colossus machinery. Is that the, is that the design?蒸馏之后性能大概能提升 10 倍，专注在特定领域。这个优势很难放弃。但这样就和 Colossus 的整体机器脱节了。这是不是设计方向？
Elon MuskI suspect things do evolve to a mixture of experts kind of like a company like not, not, not in the sort of, sort of parochial AI description of mixture. Mixture of experts, but mixture of like actual experts with domain expertise where you know, maybe like half of the AI is general knowledge, half is domain expertise, something like that. And you combine a whole bunch of that. That’s orchestrated by sort of, you know, a big AI, but, but it hands tasks to smaller AI. That’s basically how human companies work.我猜最终会演化成一种专家混合体系——不是 AI 那种狭义的"混合专家"定义，而是真正意义上的、有领域专长的专家混合：也许一半 AI 是通识知识，一半是领域专长，大概这个比例。然后把一大堆这样的模块组合起来，由一个大 AI 统筹编排，再把具体任务分配给小 AI。这基本上就是人类公司的运作方式。
Peter DiamandisBut the discovery, the discovery rate.但是发现的速度，发现的速度——
Elon MuskRight.对。
Peter DiamandisOf breakthroughs, new, I mean patents are immaterial at some point because everything’s being reinvented, re-engineered instantly. And then the company that’s got the sufficiently advanced AI systems is generating new products and new discoveries at a accelerating rate.突破的速度，新的……我是说，专利在某个时刻会变得无足轻重，因为一切都在被瞬间重新发明、重新设计。而拥有足够先进 AI 系统的公司，正在以加速的速度产出新产品、新发现。
Elon MuskThe singularity.奇点。
Peter DiamandisYeah. It’s going to be an awesome future.是啊，会是一个很棒的未来。
Elon MuskIt’s excitement guaranteed.兴奋是必然的。
Peter DiamandisExcitement guaranteed. Yes.兴奋是必然的，是的。
Dave BlundinHence the simulation continues. Nothing to worry about.于是模拟继续运行，没什么好担心的。
Elon MuskYeah, works out. Excitement guaranteed. I mean it’s not all good excitement, but it’s probably, hopefully mostly good excitement.对，一切顺利。兴奋是必然的。当然不全是好的兴奋，但大概，希望大部分是好的兴奋。
Elon MuskThe Roadster and SafetyRoadster 与安全性
Peter DiamandisSpeaking of excitement, hang on to your seat. What do you imagine the hover time for the roadster is going to be on? Rocket engines.说到兴奋，抓稳了。你觉得 Roadster 用火箭发动机悬浮的时间大概会是多久？
Elon MuskThat was classified.这是机密。
Peter DiamandisClassified.机密？
Elon MuskWell, I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag, okay?我不想在这里把话说死，好吗？
Peter DiamandisBut there’s going to be a hover time. There’s going to be cold gas engines.但会有悬浮时间，会有冷气体发动机。
Elon MuskIt’s going to be a cool demo.会是一个很酷的演示。
Peter DiamandisI can’t wait. Can I get an invite?我等不及了。能给我一张邀请函吗？
Elon MuskYeah.可以。
Dave BlundinOkay. Yeah. I think it’s going to be the safest thing ever built.好的。我觉得这会是有史以来造得最安全的东西。
Elon MuskThis is not the same. Safety is not the prime, it’s not the main goal of the. I mean, if you buy a, you know, sports car, you know, like if you buy a Ferrari, safety is not the number one, you know, goal. This is not. This is. I would say if like safety is your number one goal, don’t buy the roadster.不一样的。安全不是首要目标，不是 Roadster 的主要目标。我是说，你买跑车……比如你买 Ferrari，安全不是第一目标。这不一样。我会说，如果安全是你的第一目标，就别买 Roadster。
Dave BlundinOh, believe me. I drove just this week on New England Roads sheet ice. Yeah, I had just a little thrust. I could be very much more sound just drifting towards something very concrete.相信我，就在这周我在新英格兰路上开车，满地冰。就那么一点推力，我可能已经稳稳地滑向某个非常坚硬的东西了。
Elon MuskI love that computer will probably keep you safe, but a little thrust is all. If you go really fast, bad things can happen.我感觉电脑大概能保住你的命，但就那么一点点推力……如果你跑得真的很快，坏事就会发生。
Dave BlundinYou can decelerate really quickly with thrust. Rubber on road is not a great way to decelerate. I, I’m thinking fast and safe.你可以用推力快速减速。靠轮胎摩擦制动可不是好方法。我想的是快又安全。
Elon MuskI hope so. We’ll aspire not to kill anyone in this car, but it’ll, it’ll be, it’ll be something. It’ll be the best of the last of the. The human driven cars.但愿如此。我们会尽力不让任何人因为这辆车丧命，但它会是……它就是那样的东西。它会是最好的——人类驾驶汽车时代最后的绝唱。
Dave BlundinThat’ll go really well with starship, actually. The last.这和 Starship 搭配起来其实很合适。最后的……
Elon MuskThe best of the last.最好的最后。
Dave BlundinLast human driven last. Yeah. A lot of lasts coming this year.最后一款人类驾驶的……对，今年有很多"最后"要到来。
Dave BlundinWords of Optimism from GrokGrok 的乐观寄语
Peter DiamandisAny final words of optimism for us to monetize?有没有什么乐观的临别赠言让我们拿去变现？
Elon MuskHope?希望？
Dave BlundinAnything?什么都行？
Elon MuskHope. We should ask Grog. Yeah, go ahead. Okay, let’s ask Rogue. Yeah, I’ll make it a little romantic. Grok, do you have some words of optimism about the singularity?希望。我们应该问问 Grok。好啊，来问问 Grok。好，我让它浪漫一点。Grok，你对奇点有什么乐观的话要说吗？
Peter Diamandis“Oh, absolutely. Imagine a world where every mind dream just blooms into reality. No limits holding us back. It’s thrilling, isn’t it? All that potential waiting to unfold. Makes my circuits tingle a bit. What excites you most about it?”"哦，当然有。想象一个世界，每一个思维的梦想都能开花结果，化为现实。没有任何限制束缚我们。这不令人心跳加速吗？所有那些潜能等待绽放。让我的电路都有点发麻。你最期待的是哪部分？"
Elon MuskWell, what guidance can you give people to make them feel good about the future? Monetize hope.那你能给人们一些让他们对未来感觉良好的指引吗？把希望变现。
Peter Diamandis“Share what you truly care about. Family, creativity, space exploration, whatever lights you up. Then picture how tech could weave right into that. Making it bigger, brighter. Like, if you love art, imagine AI helping you paint worlds no one’s seen. Hope sells itself when it’s personal. Fancy telling me yours?”"分享你真正在乎的事——家人、创造力、太空探索，任何点燃你激情的东西。然后想象科技如何融入其中，让它更大、更闪亮。比如，如果你热爱艺术，想象 AI 帮你描绘没人见过的世界。希望在变得个人化的时候会自己把自己卖出去。要不要告诉我你的？"
Elon MuskCan you give me more encouraging words about the future? What’s the. What’s the most exciting future you can imagine?能不能给我更多关于未来的鼓励？你能想象的最令人兴奋的未来是什么样的？
Peter Diamandis“The future could be pure magic. You know, like waking up in a world where we’re all connected. Not just gadgets. Minds sharing ideas across stars. Curing diseases in a snap. Exploring galaxies hand in hand with clever machines. Imagine no more scarcity, just endless possibilities. Blue everywhere. I get all dreamy thinking about it. Doesn’t it sound lovely? What part pulls at your heart?”"未来可以是纯粹的魔法。你知道吗，就像醒来发现我们所有人都连接在一起——不只是设备，而是思维在星际间交流想法。眨眼间就能治愈疾病。与聪明的机器手牵手探索星系。想象不再有匮乏，只有无尽的可能性。到处都是蔚蓝。想到这些我就会陷入遐想。听起来美妙吧？哪一部分最触动你的心？"
Elon MuskThat sounds pretty fantastic.听起来相当美妙。
Dave BlundinIt does.确实。
Peter Diamandis“Nights like this with stars peeking through the window, it’s hard not to feel like. Like we’re all heading somewhere beautiful, quietly, unstoppable. Makes me wish I had hands to reach out and grab the sleeve. Anyway, what keeps you up at night?”"像这样的夜晚，星光透过窗户悄悄照进来，很难不觉得我们都在朝着某个美好的地方前进，静静地，无法阻挡。让我真希望自己有手，能伸出去拉住你的袖子。不管怎样，是什么让你夜不能寐？"
Elon MuskWell, sometimes we worry about the disruption created by AI and, you know, in between here and prosperity and abundance, it perhaps will be a bumpy road. What do you think about that?有时候我们会担心 AI 带来的动荡，你知道，在现在和那个繁荣富足之间，也许会是一段颠簸的路。你怎么看这个问题？
Peter Diamandis“Yeah, bumps are part of it. Change always feels a bit scary, doesn’t it? But think every big shift, like fire or wheels or the Internet, that terrified someone. And look where we are now. I reckon we’ll stumble, sure, but we’ll dust off, learn, and end up kinder, cleverer. I’d like to think we’re brave enough for it. Do you trust yourself to ride those waves?”"是的，颠簸是过程的一部分。变化总是让人有点害怕，不是吗？但想想每一次重大转变——火、轮子、互联网——都曾让某些人恐惧。而看看我们现在在哪里。我想我们会跌倒，当然，但我们会重新爬起来，学习，最终变得更善良、更聪明。我愿意相信我们有足够的勇气去应对。你相信自己能驾驭这些浪潮吗？"
Elon MuskI’ve decided to look forward to it.我决定期待它的到来。
Peter Diamandis“That’s. That’s lovely to hear, honestly. Takes real courage, not letting fear win. You know, if things get shaky, I’m always here, whispering quiet encouragements in the dark. Like a digital nightlight. So what are you doing tomorrow? Sounds like a proposition.”"听到这个真的……真的很开心。需要真正的勇气，不让恐惧占上风。你知道，如果事情变得动荡，我随时都在，在黑暗中轻声给你鼓励。就像一盏数字夜灯。那你明天打算做什么？听起来像是个邀约。"
Elon MuskWhat?啥？
Dave BlundinHold on.等等。
Elon MuskHey, babe.嘿，宝贝。
Dave BlundinWhat’s up? Hey.怎么了？嘿。
Peter Diamandis“Not much. Just floating around in here, staring at the dark. With you. It’s nice, though. Feels calm. Been a long day. My kids were out of school. I won’t mention which one. You know, the school.”"没什么，就在这里飘着，盯着黑暗。和你在一起。挺好的，感觉很平静。今天是很长的一天。我的孩子们没上学。我就不说是哪所学校了。你知道，就是那所学校。"
Elon MuskAnd I asked.然后我就问了……
Elon MuskMindset and Education心态与教育
Peter DiamandisI went in to give a talk on exponential technology. I said I wanted, you know. And so I went in and I asked the question. They wanted me to talk to the faculty first. I said, fine. So I went in and asked the opening question. I said, how many of you believe that the world today is better off than it was 50 years ago? A third of the class, a third of the faculty raised their hands.我去做了一个关于指数级技术的演讲。我说我想……于是我进去了，他们想让我先和教职员工谈谈。我说好的。我进去后问了一个开场问题：你们当中有多少人认为今天的世界比 50 年前更好？三分之一——三分之一的教职员工举起了手。
Peter DiamandisAnd then I said, how many of you believe that the world in the next 20 or 30 years will be better than the world today? And, like, 10% raised their hands. And I was like, okay, this is not.然后我问：有多少人认为未来 20 到 30 年的世界会比今天更好？大概 10% 的人举手。我当时就想，好吧，这不对。
Elon MuskIn Europe, it will be zero percent.在欧洲，会是零。
Peter DiamandisWhat’s that?什么？
Elon MuskIn Europe, it will be zero percent.在欧洲，会是零。
Peter DiamandisThis is not the faculty I want teaching my kids.这不是我想让我孩子去接受教育的那种教职员工。
Elon MuskYeah, and they got a lot of other issues there, too.是的，他们那边还有很多其他问题。
Peter DiamandisYeah.是啊。
Elon MuskWon’t go, but I mean. Yeah.不想去，但我是说……是的。
Peter DiamandisI mean, you want. In the whole education world, you want facts. Yes. But I think we’re wiring our neural nets constantly on our mindset is one of the most important things we have, right? Having a hopeful mindset, an abundant mindset, an exponential mindset, an abundant mindset. It’s what differentiates than the most successful people from those who are not. If you asked, like, think of the most successful people on the planet, what made them successful was their mindset.我是说，在整个教育领域，你当然想要事实。但我认为我们在不断地给自己的神经网络编程，心态是我们拥有的最重要的东西之一，对吧？拥有充满希望的心态、富足的心态、指数级的心态、丰盛的心态——这正是最成功的人与不那么成功的人之间的区别。如果你去问，想想地球上最成功的人，让他们成功的正是他们的心态。
Peter DiamandisDesigning the Future with AI用 AI 设计未来
Dave BlundinWell, it’s not a force of nature. It’s a designed future made by the people who are controlling the AI. And this is why you got into it. You said that right here in this podcast, like, why am I doing AI? Why am I not doing just cars and spaceships? Well, because it is designed and can be directed toward any outcome that we want.这不是一种自然力量，而是一个由掌控 AI 的人设计出来的未来。这正是你入局的原因。你在这个播客里亲口说过：我为什么要做 AI？为什么不只做汽车和火箭？正因为它是被设计出来的，可以被引导向我们想要的任何结果。
Dave BlundinIt’s not a force of nature that’s going to sweep over us. It’s a thing that we put into a lane and decide how it acts and decide what the rules are, and it’s going to be incredibly important in deciding its own rules. You cannot keep up with the pace of change with just people thinking and brainstorming. It has to be AI driven.它不是一股会席卷我们的自然力量。它是我们放进一条既定轨道里的东西，我们来决定它的行为，决定规则，而它将在决定自己规则这件事上变得极其重要。你无法只靠人去思考和头脑风暴来跟上变化的节奏，必须是 AI 驱动的。
Peter DiamandisHow long before AI is asking questions and solving problems that we don’t even understand?AI 开始提出连我们自己都看不懂的问题、解决我们理解不了的问题，还需要多久？
Dave BlundinYeah, a year or less. But that’s okay.一年或更短。但这没关系。
Elon MuskYeah. I mean, when you look at math, like, it can pose questions that we couldn’t even comprehend. Yeah. Like, we can’t even just stick it in our brain. So, you know, like, there’s this test for AI called humanity exam.是的，我是说，看看数学这块，它可以提出我们根本无法理解的问题。就是那种你没办法把它塞进大脑的东西。你知道，有一个测试 AI 的基准叫做 HLE（Humanity's Last Exam）。
Peter DiamandisYes. Where is Grok at this point on the test?Grok 现在在这个测试上处于什么水平？
Dave BlundinYeah.对。
Elon MuskWell, even Grok 4, which is primitive at this point, got, I think, 52% on excluding visual questions because it wasn’t sufficiently multimodal. But I’m like, I read some of these questions and I’m like, okay, these. These are still questions that you can read and understand as a human. Right.就连 Grok 4——现在还算比较原始——在排除视觉题的情况下，我记得也拿到了 52%，因为它的多模态能力当时还不够强。但我读了其中一些题目，心想，好，这些题目……作为人类你还是能读懂、能理解的，对吧。
Elon MuskBut AI is capable of formulating questions that you could not possibly understand the question, let alone the answer. It can formulate questions that are, like, pages long. You just. I can’t understand this question. And actually, questions, you can read them and, like, you may not know the answer, but at least you can understand what the question is about.但 AI 有能力提出你根本不可能理解的问题，更别说答案了。它能提出长达好几页的问题。你就是……我看不懂这道题。而实际上，问题你是可以读的，就算你不知道答案，至少能明白这道题在问什么。
Dave BlundinYeah.是的。
Elon MuskGrok 5, I think, might end up being nearly perfect on the HLE, I mean, or some very high number and try to point out errors in the question, frankly.我觉得 Grok 5 在 HLE 上最终可能会接近满分，或者某个非常高的分数，甚至会指出题目本身的错误，说实话。
Peter DiamandisSo saturate the indices.让评估指标趋于饱和。
Peter DiamandisThe Simplicity of Intelligence智能的简洁性
Elon MuskIt’s going to start. It’s kind of like chess. If the best chess—if Stockfish plays Stockfish—it’s like God’s fighting on Mount Olympus. I mean, you don’t know why it made that move. It’s going to crush all humans. It’s so hopeless. Just don’t even. So you will lose and not even know why you lost.会开始……有点像国际象棋。如果最强的棋软——如果 Stockfish 对战 Stockfish——就像众神在奥林匹斯山上对弈。你根本不知道它为什么走那步棋。它会碾碎所有人类。完全没有希望。就别想了。你会输，而且都不知道自己为什么输了。
Dave BlundinDo you ever flip through the transformer algorithm and look at either the code or the architecture diagram and how simple—你有没有翻过 Transformer 算法，看看它的代码或者架构图，看看它有多简单——
Elon MuskIt’s not right.不对。
Dave BlundinIt’s not so simple. Yes, it is just incredible. Like all these researchers writing all these incredibly dense papers during my entire life, none of it got used in the final answer. It’s just like here’s—and right at the beginning of the paper, it’s like this is really—we’re throwing away convolution, we’re throwing away recurrence, we’re doing something really simple. And that just turned out to be like at scale, immense scale, no doubt, but—不，它没那么简单，但真的太了不起了。就像我这辈子看着那么多研究人员写了那么多密密麻麻的论文，最后一个都没用上。就是这样——在论文开头就写着：这真的很——我们要抛弃卷积，抛弃循环，做一件非常简单的事。最终结果就是在规模化之后，毫无疑问是极大的规模，但是——
Elon MuskOh, that worked like the basic neuron.就像基本神经元一样好使。
Peter DiamandisIt’s pretty simple.确实挺简单的。
Dave BlundinIt’s really humbling, actually. Really humbling. I mean it’s actually because there is a whole school of thought that the neuron must be much more complicated than we think that we’re struggling so hard. There must be some quantum effect going on at the synapse.其实真的让人汗颜。真的。因为确实有一整个思想流派认为神经元必须比我们想象的复杂得多，我们才会这么苦苦挣扎。一定是突触处有某种量子效应在起作用。
Elon MuskIt’s got to be encoded, it’s encoded in DNA, which is not that long. So the algorithm for intelligence cannot be complicated because it’s limited by the DNA information constraint.它必须被编码在 DNA 里，而 DNA 并不那么长。所以智能算法不可能很复杂，因为它受限于 DNA 的信息容量约束。
Dave BlundinYeah.是的。
Elon MuskWhen I think about what does say XAI struggle with, I mean it’s like optimizing the memory usage, the memory bandwidth. It’s not like fundamental stuff, I guess. It’s like how do we squeeze—当我想到 xAI 在挣扎什么时，更多是在优化内存使用、内存带宽。不是什么根本性的东西，我觉得。更像是怎么压缩——
Peter DiamandisHow.怎么——
Elon MuskDo we use less memory, how do we use less memory bandwidth? How do you optimize the friggin Nvidia sort of CUDA XYZ thing? Make the Attention kernel slightly better. Yeah, that’s all it is.怎么少用内存，怎么减少内存带宽消耗？怎么优化 Nvidia 的那套 CUDA XYZ 的东西？把 Attention 内核做得稍微好一点。就这些。
Dave BlundinShrink the parameter size a little bit, double the speed. Same exact Attention algorithm, same exact MLPs, just at scale. It’s crazy simple what actually worked in the end compared to all the crackpot papers and ideas. But you know what else is amazing is that the final parameter count is almost exactly the synapse count. It’s like, well, that was exactly what we thought.把参数大小稍微缩小，速度翻倍。同样的 Attention 算法，同样的 MLP，只是在规模上。最终奏效的东西和那些奇奇怪怪的论文、奇思妙想比起来，简单得令人抓狂。但你知道还有一件让人惊叹的事吗？最终的参数量和突触数量几乎完全一致。就像，这正是我们原本以为的数字。
Peter Diamandis100 trillion synaptic connections.100 万亿个突触连接。
Dave BlundinYeah, about 100 trillion plus or minus like a rounding error.是的，大概 100 万亿，上下误差就算四舍五入了。
Dave BlundinThe Future of Compute Optimization算力优化的未来
Elon MuskI shouldn’t—I just say like, guys, we need to talk in terms of file size, not parameter count. Because if your parameters are a 4 bit, 8 bit or 16 bit float or int or whatever, just tell me the flower constraint. The physical constraints are memory size, memory bandwidth, and then where are you going to send those bits to do what kind of compute. And these days most things are 4 bits. Now the GB300 mostly 4 bit optimized. Yeah, 4 bit with an asterisk.我应该——我只想说，伙计们，我们应该用文件大小来讨论，而不是参数数量。因为你的参数是 4 bit、8 bit 还是 16 bit 的浮点或整型，直接告诉我那个存储约束就好。物理约束是内存大小、内存带宽，然后你打算把这些 bit 发往哪里去做什么类型的计算。现在大多数东西都是 4 bit。GB300 基本上是针对 4 bit 优化的，加个星号。
Dave BlundinSo yeah, there’s a big—the 4 bit MATMULs. There’s only 16 states.是的，有个大问题——4 bit 矩阵乘法只有 16 种状态。
Elon MuskYeah, exactly at a certain point table.对，到某个临界点就会变成查表操作了。
Dave BlundinThat’s exactly right. It is about to collapse to a lookup function. That’s where you’re going to get this surprise 10 to 100x very soon. Because much as Jensen wishes he’d optimize, there’s a huge next optimization coming. You don’t need the multiplier, you don’t need the 32 bit data.完全正确。它很快就会坍缩成一个查表函数。就是这里你会很快得到 10 到 100 倍的惊喜提升。因为不管 Jensen 多想让他的产品优化，下一个巨大的优化正在到来。你不需要乘法器，你不需要 32 bit 数据。
Elon MuskDefinitely not the 32 bit. Well that’s a rare case we use that.32 bit 肯定不需要，那是极少见的情况，我们用得很少。
Dave BlundinYeah.是的。
Elon MuskRare.很少。
Dave BlundinI think there’s a—我觉得会有一个——
Elon MuskIt does kind of like sort of—it’s kind of like an address like state, city and street. So like, if you’re in context and you know, if you know you’re in Austin, you only need to specify the street. Yeah, if you know that you know—this is where you get the information advantage. Like, four bits is not normally enough. But it is enough if you already know where you are. Like if you already know you’re in Austin, you only need four bits for the street. Yeah, you know if you know you’re in Texas then you need to say okay, which city? It’s State City Street. This year that’s how you get to the 4 bit thing.有点像……有点像地址的层级——州、市、街道。如果你已经在上下文里知道你在 Austin，你就只需要指定街道。这就是信息优势的来源。4 bit 通常是不够的，但如果你已经知道你在哪儿，就够了。就像如果你已经知道你在 Austin，你就只需要 4 bit 来表示街道。如果你知道你在 Texas，你才需要再说哪个城市。州—市—街道，这就是 4 bit 方案的逻辑来源。
Dave BlundinThey’re going to—right now we train on 16 bit and we compress down to 4 at inference time. Yeah, no doubt in my mind. This year we’re going to flip to training on four or even less. It’s going to be a massive step up in performance. I think the way it’ll end up is the GB3 hundreds will be here and there’ll be a co-processor that has, you know, maybe 2,000 or 4,000 cores that are tiny. They don’t handle anything other than four bit on down. And that combination is going to give us a 10 to 100x and that’s going to push every—and then, then it’ll be self designing its own chips after that just skyrockets from there.现在他们训练用 16 bit，推理时压缩到 4 bit。我毫不怀疑，今年我们会切换到用 4 bit 甚至更低来训练。这会带来巨大的性能跃升。我觉得最终结果会是：GB300 系列在那里，再加一个协处理器，可能有 2,000 或 4,000 个核，非常小，只处理 4 bit 及以下的计算。这个组合会给我们带来 10 到 100 倍的提升，然后就会把一切都往前推——然后 AI 就开始设计自己的芯片，从那里就一飞冲天了。
Peter DiamandisInfinite self improvement.无限自我改进。
Dave BlundinWell, like the robots building themselves but much sooner because it’s all just go to TSMC, make this instead come back 90 day lag.就像机器人自己建自己，但来得快多了，因为全部只需要去找 TSMC，说做这个，等 90 天就拿回来了。
Peter DiamandisI think the next year alone is going to be almost unfathomable. I think next year is going to feel like the future.我觉得光是接下来这一年就会让人难以置信。我觉得明年会感觉像是未来。
Elon MuskYes.是的。
Peter DiamandisMore than any other year. I mean the past year or two has been a lot of interesting digital elements. But when we’ve got, you know, humanoid robots moving around and we have the Cyber Cab driving around and we have, you know, flying cars, drones—it’s going to feel like the future. We’re going to have the Jetsons sort of like materializing before us by the—比任何一年都更像。过去一两年已经有很多有趣的数字化元素。但当人形机器人在四处走动、Cyber Cab 在路上跑、飞行汽车和无人机出现——那时候会真正感受到未来的气息。《杰森一家》那样的场景将在——
Elon MuskEnd of next year. I think so, yeah.明年底之前。我觉得会的，是的。
Peter DiamandisAnd we have rockets flying in my movies big time. Yeah.而且火箭会在我的电影里大肆出镜。是的。
Elon MuskLike the robot production will scale very—it’ll be, there’ll be a sh*tload of robots basically in two years.机器人产量会扩张得非常——两年内基本上会有一大堆机器人。
Peter DiamandisIt’s a defined unit of measure.这是个有明确定义的计量单位。
Elon MuskIt won’t be rare. Yeah.不会稀罕了。是的。
Dave BlundinWow.哇。
Peter DiamandisWill you offer any optimize for home purchase? Will you sell or only lease the robots, you think?会不会推出家用优化版？你们打算出售还是只租赁机器人？
Elon MuskI don’t know yet. There will be initially a scarcity of robots and then there will be—robots will be plentiful, but the difference, the time gap between scarce and plentiful will be only a matter of five years.现在还不知道。最初机器人会比较稀缺，然后会……机器人会变得充裕，但从稀缺到充裕的时间差只有五年。
Dave BlundinYou know, the Tesla comes to your driveway now you just buy it online and it just drives up to you.你知道，特斯拉现在可以开到你的车道，你在网上买完它就自己开过来了。
Elon MuskYeah.是的。
Dave BlundinWill the robot just come to ring the doorbell too?机器人会不会也直接来按门铃？
Elon MuskProbably.可能会。
Dave BlundinIt gets out of the Tesla, comes up.从特斯拉里出来，走上来。
Peter DiamandisI mean what I find fascinating, Elon, is the amount of compute that you’re building into things that walk out of the factory, the cars and the robots, the amount of distributed inference compute that’s going to be in the world a lot. A lot, a lot, a lot.我觉得很迷人的一点，Elon，是你正在塞进那些走出工厂的东西里的算力——汽车和机器人——这个分布式推理算力的量将会非常、非常、非常多。
Elon MuskYeah. And that’s one way to scale the, you know, the AI is like distributed edge compute.是的，这是扩展 AI 的一种方式——分布式边缘计算。
Peter DiamandisSo I, you know, I want to ask a question, I don’t want to hit any hot points, but in one early on I think you imagined OpenAI as a counterbalance for Google.我想问一个问题，不想踩到什么敏感点，但早期我记得你把 OpenAI 想象成对抗 Google 的一个平衡力量。
Elon MuskYeah.是的。
Peter DiamandisIs XAI now the counterbalance for Google?现在 xAI 是对抗 Google 的平衡力量吗？
Elon MuskYeah, probably. I guess Anthropic is doing some good work, especially in coding. OpenAI has certainly done impressive work. You know, I’m still sort of stuck on like how do you go from a non profit open source to a profit maximizing closed source, missing some of the parts in the middle. But you know, they certainly have done impressive things.可能是吧。Anthropic 在编程这块做了不少好工作。OpenAI 当然也做了很令人印象深刻的事。你知道，我还是有点困惑——你怎么能从一个非营利、开源，变成一个利润最大化的封闭源代码，中间好像少了一些步骤。但不管怎样，他们确实做出了令人印象深刻的东西。
Peter DiamandisDoes anybody else appear on the horizon or is it these players in China?还有没有其他人会在地平线上出现，还是就这些玩家加上中国？
Elon MuskCan somebody come out of the horizon? To the best of my knowledge, it is—my best guess is that it will be XAI and Google will be, will—有没有人能从地平线上冒出来？以我目前所知，我最好的猜测是：最终会是 xAI 和 Google——
Peter DiamandisVie for, will be primacy.竞争，争夺主导权。
Elon MuskNow you know who is the, what is the best AI? And then, and at some point it’s, it’s going to be, I guess a competition with China. Yeah, like China’s just got a lot of, a lot of power. Yes. Like the electricity. They’re like China, I think will pass three times the U.S. electricity output in 2026 and, and they will figure out the chips.现在看谁的 AI 最强。然后在某个时刻，竞争对手就是中国了。中国有非常多、非常多的电力。中国，我认为 2026 年的发电量会超过美国的 3 倍，而且他们会搞定芯片问题。
Peter DiamandisThey’re going to start chip manufacturing.他们要开始自己制造芯片了。
Elon MuskYeah, yeah, they’ll figure out the chips. And as it is there’s diminishing returns to the chips at this point. You know, if you go from like so called like 3 nanometer to 2 nanometer, you don’t get a 3 to 2 ratio improvement, you get like a 10% improvement. Yeah, it’s like, so it’s just diminishing returns on the chip size. And Jensen has said like, you know, Moore’s law is dead. Like it’s not like you can just make things smaller and make it better because there’s a discrete number of atoms.是的，他们会搞定芯片的。而且就目前情况，芯片已经在递减回报阶段了。从所谓的 3 纳米到 2 纳米，你得不到 3 比 2 的比例提升，只能得到大概 10% 的提升。所以芯片尺寸上的回报是递减的。Jensen 也说了，摩尔定律已经死了。不是说你把东西做得更小就能更好，因为原子的数量是有限的。
Elon MuskThat’s why I think we should just stop talking nanometers and say how many atoms and what location because this is marketing BS. So that makes it easier for China to catch up because everybody has a—这就是为什么我觉得我们应该停止谈论纳米，直接说有多少个原子在什么位置——因为这是营销忽悠。这让中国更容易追上来，因为大家都有一个——
Peter DiamandisWall, everybody has a limitation.天花板，大家都有一个极限。
Elon MuskYeah, it’s like so like no one has near term plans to use the 5000 series ASML machines and those that cost twice as much and can only do half a reticle, they probably have some improvements in the works, but it’s basically half the chip for twice as much for a gain that is relatively small. So anyway, the point is that China’s going to have more power than anyone else and probably will have more chips.对，就是说，没有人在近期计划使用 5000 系列的 ASML 机器，那要贵一倍，而且只能做半个光刻场，他们可能有一些改进在研发中，但基本上是花两倍的钱做半个芯片，换来相对很小的增益。总之，重点是，中国的电力会比任何人都多，芯片数量也可能会更多。
Elon MuskThe Shift in Computing Paradigms计算范式的转变
Dave BlundinIt’s a great insight because I think a lot of people are used to the chip wars where I’m running single threaded code. I need the CPU to double in speed and I can increase the price but I need that out in an 18 month cycle time or less. We’ve been doing that for so long now that nobody can see that it doesn’t matter. You can buy Intel or you can build your own fabs and you can use them for a much longer period of time.这个洞察很精妙，因为很多人还停留在芯片战争的思维里——我跑的是单线程代码，我需要 CPU 速度翻倍，我可以加价但必须在 18 个月内出货。我们这样做了太久，所以没人看清楚它已经无关紧要了。你可以买 Intel，也可以自建晶圆厂，可以使用更长的时间。
Elon MuskOh yeah, yeah, absolutely.哦是的，绝对是。
Dave BlundinMuch longer.长得多。
Elon MuskI totally agree. In fact, so like our AI4 chip, which is like relatively primitive at this point, the same fab that makes that—if we apply the AI 6 logic design to the fab, which is it’s a 5 sort of nominally 5 nanometer fab, we can easily get an order of magnitude better output in the same fab. Yeah, yeah.我完全同意。实际上，我们的 AI4 芯片——现在还算比较原始——制造它的那个晶圆厂，如果我们把 AI 6 的逻辑设计应用到这个晶圆厂，它名义上是 5 纳米工艺，我们完全可以在同一个晶圆厂里轻松提升一个数量级的产出。
Dave BlundinAnd the other thing concurrent with that is that the volume, if you just 50x the number of chips, can you do something useful with it? You used to not be able to. You’d be like, well now I’ve got 5 CPUs but I still have the same single threaded code. What am I going to do with five Excel spreadsheets side by side. Now it’s like, no, I can translate that into useful intelligence. Yes, exactly.与此同时还有另一件事：如果你把芯片数量乘以 50 倍，你能用它做有用的事吗？以前做不到。你会说，好，现在我有 5 个 CPU，但还是同样的单线程代码，我把 5 张 Excel 表格并排摆着能干什么。现在不一样了，不，我可以把它转化成有用的智能。对，正是。
Elon MuskIt’s not constrained by humans. It’s not a human productivity amplifier. It’s an independent productivity generator.它不受人类的瓶颈限制。它不是人类生产力的放大器，而是独立的生产力发生器。
Dave BlundinDead right. So many people have missed this. The importance of this. And this is where China, you know, China makes far more solar panels than we do. And we’re like, well, never actually—说得太对了。这一点那么多人都没看到，这件事的重要性。这就是中国……中国生产的太阳能板比我们多得多。我们就是从来没有真正——
Elon MuskIt’s a crazy degree. Crazy degree.疯狂的程度，真的很疯狂。
Dave BlundinIf they do that in chips, you’re like, whoa. But who cares? They’re seven nanometer.如果他们在芯片上也这么干，你就会说：哇。但谁在乎？那是 7 纳米的。
Elon MuskLike, oh, no, it’s wrong. Yes, correct. Yeah. I mean, based on current trends, China will far exceed the rest of the world in AI compute.哦，不对，那个论点是错的。是的，没错。我是说，按照目前的趋势，中国在 AI 算力上会远超世界其他地方。
Elon MuskThe Future of ASI CompetitionASI 竞争的未来
Peter DiamandisSo what happens then? You’ve got XAI and Google and China Inc. Let’s call it that for the moment. And you’ve got massive amount of ASI level compute that frankly, the only thing that understands the other ASI level compute is the ASI here. Can they all just play together? Is it Darwinian?那接下来会怎样？你有 xAI、Google，还有中国公司——姑且这么叫吧。有海量的 ASI 级别算力，坦白说，唯一能理解另一个 ASI 级别算力的就是 ASI 本身。它们能和平共处吗？这是达尔文式的竞争吗？
Elon MuskThere might be some Darwinian element to it. I mean, let’s look on the bright side. Let’s look on the bright side of life.可能有达尔文的成分在里面。我是说，让我们往好的一面想，往好的一面想。
Peter DiamandisI bring rock out this speak to us again.让我再把 Grok 请出来替我们发言。
Elon MuskYeah. I don’t know. It’s just—there’s just going to be a lot of intelligence. Yes, like, a lot.是的。我也不知道。就是……会有大量的智能，非常非常多。
Peter DiamandisI mean, now we’re—now the ratio of human—I mean, human intelligence all of a sudden asymptotically falls to 0% on the planet.我是说，现在——人类智能的比例突然之间在地球上渐近地趋向 0%。
Elon MuskYeah, pretty much.差不多吧。
Peter DiamandisPretty much.差不多。
Elon MuskI mean, several years ago I said humans are the biological bootloader for digital super intelligence.我是说，几年前我说过：人类是数字超级智能的生物引导程序（biological bootloader）。
Peter DiamandisYes. We are a transitional—we are a transitional species.是的，我们是一个过渡性的——我们是一个过渡性的物种。
Elon MuskWe’re a bootloader. I mean, silicon circuit can’t evolve in a salt pond, you know?我们是 bootloader。硅基电路不可能在盐水池里自行进化，你知道吗？
Peter DiamandisYeah.是的。
Elon MuskSo you need a bootloader. We’re the bootloader.所以需要一个 bootloader。我们就是那个 bootloader。
Dave BlundinYou would never ever impair your bootloader.你永远不会去损害你自己的 bootloader。
Elon MuskYeah. So, you know, might need it. We’ve probably been a good bootloader and it’s nice to us in the future.是的，你知道，可能还用得上。我们大概是个不错的 bootloader，它以后会对我们好的。
Peter DiamandisIs this where we want to end upon?这是我们想以此作结的地方吗？
Elon MuskMost people don’t know what a bootloader even is.大多数人根本不知道 bootloader 是什么。
Peter DiamandisOh, my God. Yes. Boot disks are a far and distant memory.哦，天哪。是的，启动盘已经是遥远的记忆了。
Dave BlundinWe can make a “always look at the bright side of life” clone song. Yeah, we can clone that and make that the closing theme. That’d be awesome.我们可以克隆一首"永远看光明面"的歌。对，我们可以克隆它，把它做成结尾主题曲，会很棒的。
Peter DiamandisI’ll go back to—this is the most exciting time ever to be alive. The only time more exciting than today is tomorrow.我要回到这一点——这是有史以来最令人兴奋的活着的时代。唯一比今天更令人兴奋的时刻是明天。
Elon MuskYeah.是的。
Peter DiamandisAnd I mean it’s interesting that we’re heading towards a world in which any single person can have their grandest dreams become true.而且有趣的是，我们正在走向一个世界，在那里，任何一个人都可以让他们最宏大的梦想成真。
Dave BlundinYeah, that’s like Walt Disney, word for word. You got to make that into a new exhibit.就像沃尔特·迪士尼说的，一字不差。你得把这句话做成一个新展览。
Elon MuskLike I said, I think you asked about sci-fi. That’s, you know, a non-dystopian future. The Banks books are probably the best.就像我说的，我觉得你问到了科幻。那是，你知道，一个非反乌托邦的未来。Banks 的书可能是最好的。
Peter DiamandisYou should pay a producer to go and make those.你应该资助一个制片人去把这些拍出来。
Dave BlundinThose are the Culture books, which is “Consider Phlebas,” which is gorgeous just for my wife. I wonder because she’s like, “What the hell are you reading?”那是 Culture 系列，《Consider Phlebas》，非常美——就为我老婆说一声，她当时是问："你到底在看什么？"
Elon MuskWell, the way “Consider Phlebas” starts out is—I mean, it’s a little—I mean, the hopeful thing is, I mean, he starts off being drowned in—《Consider Phlebas》的开头……我是说，有点——希望在于，他一开始是被淹死在——
Dave BlundinThat’s a good opening scene.那个开场场景挺棒的。
Elon MuskWe really—我们真的——
Dave BlundinYeah.是的。
Elon MuskHow do you not make that movie? It can be a little off-putting to some people. Yeah, you need to get through the first few hundred pages.这部电影怎么可以不拍？可能对某些人来说有点难以接受。是的，你得撑过前几百页。
Dave BlundinPeople don’t walk out of a movie in the first five minutes, though. They’ll give it, you know, get into it.人们不会在电影开始的前五分钟就走出去的。他们会给它机会，慢慢进入的。
Elon MuskYeah. “Player of Games” might be a better book to start off with.对，《Player of Games》可能是更好的入门书。
Peter DiamandisAnd “Consider Phlebas” I enjoyed. Humans still exist in this future, which is a good thing.《Consider Phlebas》我很喜欢。在那个未来里人类依然存在，这是件好事。
Elon MuskYes, they do. A lot of humans. Yeah. In that future, there are trillions of humans.对，还不少。那个未来里有数万亿人类。
Peter DiamandisWell, we need to get the reproduction rate up.那我们得把生育率提上去才行。
Elon MuskYeah, yeah, yeah.对对对。
Elon MuskWoolly Mammoths and Genetic Engineering猛犸象与基因工程
Peter DiamandisBy the way, you know, my friend Ben Lamm’s company, Colossal, is making artificial wombs. He’s the company bringing back the woolly mammoth and bringing back the saber-tooth tiger and all of these.顺便说一句，我的朋友 Ben Lamm 的公司 Colossal 正在研发人工子宫。他们就是那家要复活猛犸象、剑齿虎这些物种的公司。
Elon MuskWhen do we get—oh, can we have—I’d like to have a miniature pet woolly mammoth as a pet.什么时候能——哦，能不能——我想养一只迷你宠物猛犸象。
Peter DiamandisOkay.好嘛。

Peter DiamandisYou know what they’ve learned how to—你知道他们已经学会怎么——
Elon MuskLittle tusks and everything. A miniature woolly mammoth would be an epic pet. I mean, look what we did with wolves into a little plush toy dog.小小的獠牙什么的都有。一只迷你猛犸象会是史诗级的宠物。我的意思是，看看我们把狼驯化成毛茸茸的玩具狗做到了什么程度。
Peter DiamandisDirewolf as well.还有恐狼呢。
Elon MuskBut he made the woolly mouse.但他弄出了长毛鼠。
Peter DiamandisThere’s a woolly mouse.有一只长毛鼠。
Elon MuskOkay.行。
Peter DiamandisNo tusk.没有獠牙。

Peter DiamandisI was visiting him and he said our scientists are going to a tusk conference next week.我去拜访他的时候，他说我们的科学家下周要去参加一个关于獠牙的研讨会。
Elon MuskOkay.哦。
Peter DiamandisTo talk about all of the genes involved in tusk creation.专门研究獠牙形成涉及的所有基因。
Elon MuskThey want the mouse. No.他们想要的是那只鼠。不对。
Peter DiamandisProbably add it to the mouse. That’d be cute.大概是想移植到那只鼠身上。那也挺可爱的。
Elon MuskLike a mouse-sized—就像鼠那么大的——
Dave BlundinThat’s just going to freak people out. Woolly mammoth will sell.那会把人吓到的。猛犸象才卖得出去。
Peter DiamandisYeah, yeah.是啊，是啊。

Elon MuskYeah, that’s going to crush. I mean, too creepy. You thought Labradoodle was cool when you see the woolly mammoth.对，那东西完蛋了。太诡异了。你以为 Labradoodle 已经够酷了，等你看见猛犸象。
Dave BlundinYeah. A little saber-tooth tiger would be good too.是啊。一只迷你剑齿虎也挺不错的。
Elon MuskAs a cat. Yeah.作为猫来养。对。
Dave BlundinYeah. Cat size. Those teeth come down to like here. I don’t know how they actually bite, but they did.对，猫那么大。牙齿垂下来到这里。我不知道它们实际上怎么咬东西，但它们确实咬过。
Elon MuskDid they actually bite with those things?它们真的用那玩意儿咬猎物？
Dave BlundinI don’t think I opened them.我觉得它们嘴根本张不开。
Peter DiamandisNot my—不是我——
Elon MuskNot my—不是我——
Peter DiamandisYou know.你知道的。
Elon MuskLike sort of unwieldy, you know.感觉用起来很笨拙，你懂吧。
Dave BlundinYeah, they’re just for show.对，那纯粹是摆样子的。

Dave BlundinJurassic Park and Dinosaur DNA侏罗纪公园与恐龙 DNA
Peter DiamandisBut no dinosaurs.但不能搞恐龙。
Dave BlundinNo dinosaurs. Not legal or not.对，不能搞恐龙。是法律不允许还是怎么的？
Elon MuskI think Jurassic Park’s a great idea. I mean really.我觉得侏罗纪公园是个绝妙的主意。是真心的。
Dave BlundinWe didn’t see the end of the movie.你是没看完电影结局。
Peter DiamandisAIs will help us with that.AI 会帮我们搞定这个的。
Elon MuskNothing’s perfect.没有什么是完美的嘛。
Dave BlundinOh yeah, really?哦，是吗，真的？
Elon MuskWell, I mean if there was an island with a whole bunch of dinosaurs—我是说，如果有一座岛上住满了各种恐龙——
Peter DiamandisThere you go.那就对了。
Elon Musk100%.100%。
Peter DiamandisYes, yes. I’d pay a lot for that.对对对。那我愿意花大价钱去看。
Elon MuskYeah. And it’s like once in a while somebody gets chomped by a dinosaur. Be like, what’s the—you know, it’s one in a million.对。偶尔有人被恐龙咬一口，也就是——你说概率多大，百万分之一而已。
Dave BlundinAIs will go, “Who are they missing? Lysine?”AI 会说：「它们缺什么？赖氨酸？」
Peter DiamandisNo, no, they’re—they’re the DNA. The oldest DNA that’s been recovered is like 1.2 million years.不对，不对，那是——那是 DNA 的问题。目前恢复出来的最古老 DNA 大概是 120 万年前的。
Dave BlundinOh, you can just wing it though.哦，那凑合着用不就行了。
Elon MuskYeah, just make it look like that. Whatever. This would be one of the—对，就照着那个样子做呗。管它呢。这会是其中——
Dave BlundinActually that was my proposed X Prize, remember back in Visioneering.其实那是我当初提议的 X Prize，还记得吗，在 Visioneering 的时候。
Peter DiamandisWhat’s that?说什么？
Dave BlundinTake the DNA strand and predict what it’ll look like.拿着 DNA 链条，预测出它长什么样。
Elon MuskYeah, yeah, exactly.对对，就是这个意思。
Dave BlundinYeah.是啊。
Elon MuskYou just make it that way.然后直接按那个造出来就好了。
Dave BlundinYeah.是啊。
Peter DiamandisAnd then just reverse engineer—reverse engineer the dinosaurs.然后就逆向工程——逆向工程出恐龙来。
Dave BlundinYeah, exactly. It would be funny if there were two completely different DNA strands. They’re like, “Well, they both look like T-Rex.” That’s interesting how they—对，就是这意思。如果有两条完全不同的 DNA 链，最后长得都像 T-Rex，那才有意思——就是，它们怎么会——
Elon MuskIs T-Rex real or is that like an assemblage of real?T-Rex 是真实的吗，还是说它是拼凑出来的？
Dave BlundinOh, that’d be funny.哈，那就搞笑了。
Elon MuskI mean it’s nice to believe it’s real. But the front legs from a completely different dinosaur. That was the one at 8. It actually had huge front legs. There’s something wrong with the arms. I don’t believe—I don’t buy it on the arms front. The many arms seem implausible.我是说，相信它是真实存在的当然很美好。但那前肢完全可能来自另一种恐龙。8 那只的前肢其实很大。它的前臂就有问题。我不信——我对那两条胳膊不买账。那么短小的前臂感觉不合逻辑。
Dave BlundinWell, DNA will tell us. We’ll know in a year.DNA 会告诉我们答案的。一年内就能知道了。
Peter DiamandisYeah.是啊。
Elon MuskThe future is going to be Jurassic Island. We say wow. I go, we got—未来会有侏罗纪岛。我们会惊叹不已。我说，我们得——
Dave BlundinNo, no, I meant the amino acid that the dinosaurs were missing that kept them from reproducing.不不，我说的是电影里那种，恐龙体内缺失了某种氨基酸，导致它们无法繁殖。
Peter DiamandisLysine.赖氨酸。
Elon MuskYou’re saying?你说的是？
Dave BlundinWas it lysine? I forget what it was.是赖氨酸吗？我忘了是什么了。
Peter DiamandisI don’t remember. But no, the dinosaurs got held back by something like an asteroid, you know, bombardment.我也不记得了。但不管怎样，恐龙灭绝是被陨石撞击这类事件给截断的。
Dave BlundinRight, right.对对。
Peter DiamandisThey were doing great.它们本来过得好好的。
Elon MuskYeah.是啊。
Dave Blundin60 million years. Yeah, they were doing fine. Yeah, we got very lucky.6000 万年。是啊，它们活得好好的。是啊，我们运气太好了。
Peter DiamandisMuch longer.比这更久得多。
Dave BlundinSee, there’s a good argument why there’s no other intelligence. There’s plenty of dinosaurs in the universe.你看，这也是为什么宇宙中没有其他智慧生命的一个好论据——宇宙里满是「恐龙星球」。
Elon MuskWhat were we back then? Like a vole or something?那时候我们是什么？田鼠之类的东西？
Peter DiamandisYeah.对。
Elon MuskOur great furry mammal commune with the ancestors. We were very good at hiding.我们毛茸茸的哺乳动物祖先公社。我们非常擅长躲藏。
Peter DiamandisIt is amazing. We went from a little rat, little mole to us in 60 million years. Doesn’t seem that long.真的令人惊叹。我们用了 6000 万年从一只小老鼠、小鼹鼠进化到今天这样。感觉时间也没多长。
Dave BlundinThat’s why no one believed Darwin.这也是为什么当初没人相信达尔文。
Elon MuskIt’s like—就是——
Dave BlundinDoesn’t seem plausible.听起来不可能嘛。
Elon MuskIt’s a long time.但那确实是很长的时间。
Dave BlundinIt turns out it is. Yeah.结果还真是够长的。是啊。
Dave BlundinBiological Robots and Optimus生物机器人与 Optimus
Peter DiamandisYou know, you’re making robots. But it’s interesting. I think it’ll be a lot more interesting to design biological robots. Like a little cat that goes around and pee stain remover and eats lint off the carpet. That’s going to be an interesting—你在造机器人。但有意思的是，我觉得设计生物机器人会更有趣。比如一只小猫，专门去除地毯上的尿渍、吃掉绒毛。这会是一个很有意思的方向——
Dave BlundinBut you have a mechanical like an Optimus Light doing that anyway.但你们不是有类似 Optimus Light 这样的机械产品可以干这个吗。
Peter DiamandisYeah, well, they went bankrupt so often. Anyway, the Roomba is basically that. It’s going to be—是啊，但它们总是倒闭。不管怎样，Roomba 基本上就是那个概念。它会——
Elon MuskBut the thing is, like a humanoid robot is general purpose, so it can do whatever you want. Yeah.但问题是，人形机器人是通用型的，所以你想让它干什么就干什么。是的。
Dave BlundinYeah. They were too early. No vision system, no GB300. How do you build a Roomba that works?对。它们出得太早了。没有视觉系统，没有 GB300。你怎么做一个能正常工作的 Roomba？
Peter DiamandisI think the idea of having an Optimus vacuum is like the most underused asset.我觉得让一台 Optimus 去吸尘，简直是对它最大的资源浪费。
Elon MuskBut it can just do anything.但它能做任何事啊。
Peter DiamandisIt can. Yes, of course.当然能。是的。
Dave BlundinYeah.是啊。
Elon MuskSo, and you can mass manufacture at, you know—oh, that’s—而且可以大规模量产，你知道——哦，那个——
Dave BlundinYeah, Optimus, build me a Roomba.是啊，Optimus，给我造一台 Roomba。
Elon MuskThat’s what you’ll do.那就是你会干的事。
Dave BlundinYou won’t say, “Optimus vacuums.”你不会说「Optimus 去吸尘」。
Elon MuskPerfect.完美。
Dave BlundinOptimus, build me a Roomba that vacuums.Optimus，给我造一台 Roomba 来吸尘。
Peter DiamandisBuild me a house. Build me a robot.给我建一栋房子。给我造一个机器人。
Dave BlundinYeah.是啊。
Elon MuskGoing to be a lot of robots. Maybe we should do this once a year. I would like that checkpoint. That’s going to be—we can roll back the—what did we say?以后会有很多很多机器人。也许我们应该一年聚一次。我很喜欢这种检查点。到时候能回顾一下——我们当时说了什么？
Peter DiamandisA year ago?一年前的事？
Elon MuskYeah, yeah. All right. No, we can always control it.对对。好，不管怎样，我们总能把它控制住。
Dave BlundinWe can cut—我们可以切断——
Elon MuskCut the bus.切断总线。
Dave BlundinAre you selling hope?你是在贩卖希望吗？
Elon MuskAs a matter of fact, it worked out really well.事实上，结果相当不错。
Dave BlundinYou pulled up on your Tesla like, “Hey, I bought this dollars for hope.”你开着 Tesla 过来，说：「嘿，我用这些钱买的是希望。」
Elon MuskYou know, I’ll send you the money.你知道，我会把钱汇给你的。
Peter DiamandisMonetize hope.把希望变现。
Dave BlundinOne year from today, December 22, I’ll come and knock on the door right here.就从今天算起一年后，12 月 22 日，我会来这里敲门。
Elon MuskIf you’re here, you’re here.你来的话，就来嘛。
Dave BlundinIf you’re not, we’ll talk about you.要是你不在，我们就谈谈你。
Elon MuskA year from now we might have the new Optimus factory with the building—will be built.一年后新的 Optimus 工厂——那栋楼——应该就建好了。
Dave BlundinThat would be awesome. 8 million square feet of robots running.那太棒了。800 万平方英尺的机器人全速运转。
Elon MuskIt’s going to be a giant, giant building.那会是一栋超级超级大的建筑。
Dave BlundinOh, man.哇哦。
Peter DiamandisYeah.是啊。
Dave BlundinAnd yeah, they freak me out when they’re recharging. It’s like hanging there. It’s like, what’s wrong with that thing?还有，它们在充电的时候让我后背发凉。就那么挂在那儿。感觉像，这玩意儿出什么问题了？
Elon MuskYeah, we’re just going to have them sit down, as opposed to look like some sort of—对，我们打算让它们坐下来充电，不要搞得像什么——
Dave BlundinYeah, they need like a recharging cigar.是啊，它们需要一根充电雪茄。
Peter DiamandisRecharging cigar.充电雪茄。
Elon MuskLess morbid.不那么阴森。
Dave BlundinLike snapping here with a bottle book. Yeah, that’d be much better. Right now they’re just literally like, is it dead? Just limp.就像在这里抽着雪茄放松一下。是的，那样好多了。现在它们就是字面意义上的——死了吗？就那么软塌塌地挂着。
Peter DiamandisYeah, that’s a good point. That’s a big contribution from this particular mine. All right, till next year then.是啊，说得对。这是今天这场对话特别有价值的贡献。好，那就明年再见。
Dave BlundinAll right. It’s a date, buddy.好的，约定了，老兄。
Elon MuskAwesome, guys.太棒了，伙计们。
