“And I know also, Ed, I I do think we're going to discover the next relativity or equivalent of relativity in physics as well with AI.”

36:53 / 37:36

And I know also, Ed, I I do think we're going to discover the next relativity or equivalent of relativity in physics as well with AI. And, I I'm prediction? We're interested in that as well. Prediction? What would you like to hear? Next relativity? When

when are we gonna have discovery by an AI of something as significant as relativity on its own?

I think next two years.

Okay. Yeah. I I would also this is a great bellwether of Alex I'm with that. Alex. The the transformer algorithm 2017 that kicked off everything that we're experiencing right now, To me, it's the AI has already discovered things in the last six months that are harder

About this clip

Ben Horowitz makes a bold prediction that AI will discover something as groundbreaking as Einstein's theory of relativity within the next two years. He argues that AI has already begun making significant discoveries in recent months, suggesting we're on the cusp of major AI-driven scientific breakthroughs that could rival the transformer algorithm's impact.

Why this clip

A prominent VC making a specific, bold timeline prediction about AI achieving major scientific discoveries creates compelling, shareable content.

Why nuclear weapons classification failed to stop Russia's bomb

Ben Horowitz argues that historical classification of fundamental physics research was ineffective, pointing to how the Soviet Union still acquired nuclear weapons technology, including the most sensitive trigger mechanisms. He suggests this failure demonstrates the limitations of secrecy as a strategy for maintaining technological advantages.

Ben Horowitz told Biden officials that regulating AI means regulating math

Ben Horowitz argues that pausing AI development is dangerous because AI could be our best chance at reducing the 150,000 daily deaths on Earth. He discusses when AI might make discoveries as significant as relativity and reveals how he directly challenged Biden administration officials by framing AI regulation as regulating mathematics itself.
