You Won’t Believe How Much AI Will Change by 2028, According to Trump’s Crypto Guy

Once upon a lunchtime in Washington—a place where reality often takes its coat, looks around, and quietly backs out—David Sacks, known far and wide as the cryptocurrency and AI czar (whatever a “czar” actually does, no one knows, least of all czars), gazed thoughtfully out the window. Perhaps he was pondering the fate of digital coins, or maybe just whether to get soup or salad.

Suddenly, with the grand conviction of a man whose watch probably corrects itself hourly via blockchain, he proclaimed that artificial intelligence would evolve by a million times in the coming four years. Not a thousand, mind you. A million. Even Chekhov’s uncle Sasha would have raised an eyebrow.

Sacks strutted through his reasoning, waving his fork at three great pillars: “the models” (spectacularly better, three to four times each year!), “the chips” (growing so fast that soon they’ll need their own zip codes!), and “the compute,” which apparently will become so vast that your grandmother’s blender might become sentient. 🤖

“Picture this, friends,” he said, gesturing as if orchestrating an invisible symphony. “If you multiply algorithms, chips, and compute, you arrive—miraculously, mathematically, perhaps even cosmically—at a million-fold increase in AI capability.”

He leaned back, possibly imagining a future where robots write Chekhov plays about the crushing ennui of blockchain regulation, and added with almost suspicious glee: “The impact? Oh, it will be massive. Absolutely massive.”

One can only surmise whether he meant the technological leap, or simply the size of future government paperwork. Either way, somewhere in Siberia, even Anton would have smirked at the trajectory.

🚀 Or, as they might say in Silicon Valley: buckle up, comrades.
