Sorry, which limits? How do those apply to the increasing economic value of turning the same amount of sand into faster and faster GPUs, for example?

- sokoloff 2y agoThere are still finite people willing to buy whatever the intermediate or end product of that fancy sand is. And finite energy and space. And only 5 billion years until the sun goes red giant. The limits may be very large, but they aren’t infinite.
- twoodfin 2y agoYeah but a couple centuries? What’s the evidence for exhaustion of demand and supply for economic goods on that kind of time horizon.
- SJC_Hacker 2y agoHuman populations cannot expand indefinitely. Indeed many are predicting population to peak latter in century and then decline. Many first world countries are in a demographic decline if not outright collapse. See most of east Asia and Europe. Without expansion of population, consumption and production both stagnate. See what has happened in Japan in since the 90s.
