An anonymous reader quotes a report from Reuters:
> SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son reiterated his belief in the coming of artificial super intelligence (ASI) on Tuesday, saying it would require hundreds of billions of dollars of investment to realize. Artificial super intelligence will be 10,000 times smarter than a human brain and [1]will exist by 2035 , Son told an audience of global business, technology and finance leaders at a conference in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Son said he is saving up funds "so I can make the next big move," but did not provide any details as to his investment plans. He predicted that generative AI will require $900 trillion dollars in cumulative capital expenditure in data centers and chips in the future, adding that he thought chip maker Nvidia was undervalued on this basis.

I'm sure you have considered that a super intelligence might find a way to diddle you out of your money, make it look like you stole it, and have you jailed for the rest of your life.

Gosh, I wonder what units he's using. Maybe the Homer. The new superbrain will have 10 kilo-Homers of intelligence. I can't wait!
