>It’s also not happening.

People said this about every one of Musk's big ideas, from Falcon 9 landings to Model 3 mass production, Starlink, and FSD.

And extending the human race to Mars, and Hyperloop, and frontier AI model, and DOGE cutting $2 trillion per year in government spending...

You don't think the human race will be extended to Mars?

As for frontier AI model: let's see Grok 4.8 before drawing any conclusions there.

Not in any meaningful capacity. Probably not even as much as we extended to the polar circles during our lifetime. It's a dead rock, there is literally nothing for us there, even with hundreds of years of extra climate change at the current rate and earth would still be a thousand times more suited for us than mars

Yep in the current state of human capabilities, it’s a supply chain nightmare to sustain life there, unless somehow there’s something discovered on mars that is useful to humans on earth at a scale that can fund the infrastructure to maintain life there.

I suppose it may be possible for new technologies to emerge that would allow synthesis of life sustaining “stuff”, the universe does seem to hold a lot of hidden surprises

Not in anything resembling permenant habitation any time soon. We can't even make a self sustaining biosphere here on Earth, how would being on Mars make that any more possible instead of harder?

About the same probability as SpaceX running AI racks in space :)

To be fair, the vegas loop is operating - shipping a few racks to space to save face/muddle the issue won't be a problem. Operating/scaling it in a commercially viable manner is the issue.
