Common sense is that one could go faster alone, further together. ex: Karpathy's scheduling workloads to run on humans.
Energy alone is not enough for meaningful creation or change. Otherwise, we would find civilization around every sun.
AI is the interface between intent to energy and how to knowledge.
In combination: intent, energy, how to, meaningful creation and change are possible.
With AI, the impact of going alone increases exponentially. Little corner becomes a self-contained, sovereign corner. One could go faster and further alone.
