es? Do you think watching continuous content showing people cheating on their spouses and every manner of bad behavior, I feel like it's not exactly a good message. And then it makes me wonder, huh. So TikTok got to the younger kids, and China owns it, knows at least could control it if they want to. So that would give China the user interface to control the minds of our young people. Now they hav…
← Previous segment →ups are special purpose groups or whatever, so they would say no it's not about anti-Jewish, it's more about who's in. So it's not about who's out. It's about having a club for ourselves. But the effect of it might be to just be purely racist.
So to me I think it's funny that the most liberal college in the world is being sued by its Jewish students for being racist. Isn't that funny? To me that's funny. It's like all good things go to eventually because good intentions always turn into horrible things.
Anyway, here's an irony of the simulation. If we live in a simulation, clearly it was made by people with a sense of humor who keep yanking away the dollar bill we find on the sidewalk. It's like oh there's a dollar on the sidewalk and you lean over to pull it and there's a string on it and they yank it away.
Here's another one. As you know, semiconductors are beginning to reach a limit to how much more you can do with silicon and the common materials. But there are new materials that are being considered. So it turns out there is one material that is really, really good for microcomputers, semiconductors, and it's diamond. Seriously. The one thing we need that would be better than the thing we're using: diamond. Could you be any more inconvenient? Like what could be worse? I literally can't think of anything that would be worse than finding out the only way we'll be able to keep up with China is with diamonds. So well, you know, maybe we can lab grow them I suppose. Some version of them. Yeah. Anyway it's just ironic that the most expensive thing in the world, it's probably not, but well maybe it is. Are diamonds the most expensive by weight? Is that a true statement? They're not the most expensive by weight anymore. What would be most expensive by weight? Rubies? Emeralds? Not gold. Definitely not gold. Saffron? Uranium? Oh maybe uranium. Yeah maybe.
All right. According to Unusual Whales account on X, China has launched the fastest internet: 1.2 terabits per second. It can transmit 150 movies that are 4K movies in one second. 150 movies that are 4K, you know the real dense ones, in one second. That's pretty awesome.
Now that does certainly open up a question whether there's a strategic benefit to that. Is that something that we need to catch up with right away? Because I wonder if you had this internet speed and you attached it to one of these hedge funds that tries to do automated trading, you know when they find small errors. And the whole secret of the hedge fund, they literally put their data center physically as close as possible to whatever they're interacting with to trade because that distance would give them a millionth of a microsecond advantage over everybody else so they can front-run trades. But what if you got this 1.2 terabit thing? I don't know. Does that give them some advantage? I don't know. I think not because it would have to be 1.2 terabit all the way. So it might not help them if you're in a different country. I don't know. But that's fun.
I think that has more to do with virtual reality. Cor

rect me if I'm wrong but the limit for something like Meta to transmit realistic looking images like you're in a 3D world, the limit is the transmission, right? It's not the computer and it's not the limit of the software. Am I right about that? It's just a transmission limit. Well let me explain to you how the transmission limit could be gamed. You ready? Let's say you want to transmit, I think…
