We might be rotating around the center of a supermassive black hole, but we sure as fuck don't have any "real" AI.

We'll have the singularly right about when we have fusion, in about 20-30 years ad infinitum.

Mind you, a commercial fusion reactor company is currently aiming for net energy production in 2031 using a stellarator. Their series A funding round raised 130 million Euros so investors seem inclined to believe them. Technologically it also checks out; both stellarators and tokamaks have taken major steps forward in recent years.
The eternal 30 year timeframe has shrunk an awful lot over the last decade.
Hype. Did y'all see the PBS special ghost in the shell?
