> it is possible to put 500 to 1000 TW/year of AI satellites into deep space, meaningfully ascend the Kardashev scale and harness a non-trivial percentage of the Sun’s power

We currently make around 1 TW of photovoltaic cells per year, globally. The proposal here is to launch that much to space every 9 hours, complete with attached computers, continuously, from the moon.

edit: Also, this would capture a very trivial percentage of the Sun's power. A few trillionths per year.

I couldn't believe that was an actual quote from the article. It is.

These people are legit insane.

Smart people call it "story telling" /s. Musk bullshit and constant lie made him the richest person in the world. No reason not to continue.
