I recently heard that Steve Jobs and Elon Musk both received mentorship by Larry Ellison, the founder of Oracle.

This made me deeply jealous.

For those that don’t know, Larry Ellison is the founder of Oracle, one of the biggest computer companies in the world, and he built it while living on a boat with his cat, after his wife kicked him out.

She told him he needed to get a real job, and now Oracle is one of the largest companies in tech. If that’s not a success story, I don’t know what is.

Our Mission: AI for Everyone

In the world today, we all need a mentor, but there’s a shortage of geniuses out there, and they’re busy people.

Alexander the Great had Aristotle, Plato had Socrates, and Steve Jobs had Larry Ellison.

The average highly intelligent person gets a good high school math teacher, if they’re lucky.

AI Agents present a major, highly versatile solution to this problem, but they require a HUGE amount of computing power to run effectively. This means that the average person can’t really expect to have their own AI-mentor.

The one problem? An AI brain is made up of computers, and there’s a global shortage of them lately. That means less AI for most of us, and a disproportionate shift in power towards those with the resources to compete.

The Trillion Dollar Supercomputer

That brings me to the point– the fourth comma, to be exact. The Trillion Dollar opportunity standing before us.

Sam Altman and others have repeatedly stated the need for hundreds of billions of dollars to support AI data centers and energy needs, but it looks like we won’t need it.

As of September, 2024, there are now over 7 Billion people with personal devices around the world (GSMA Mobile Economy Survey) and on average, they each have 1.8-2.3 devices, ranging from smart phones to laptops, gaming consoles, and smart TVs. These devices are rapidly growing in capacity, nearly doubling each year, along with the average bandwidth per device.

Underutilized Capacity of personal devices (phones, tablets, computers, & gaming consoles) since 1980.

With the way this trend is going, our billions of devices represent a massive underutilized resource. Most devices are massively underutilized, with the average around 5-8% of total capacity per day. This raw resource can unlock unbelievable potential impact for our species.

Impact: The Community Cloud for AI

The value of any tool is determined by what can be done with it, so let’s get through a couple of quick examples.

With the introduction of the Community Cloud, we hope to give everyone access to personalized, user focused AI that can help them improve their life and find opportunities.

Imagine a mentor, companion, and friend that offers expert insights and guidance in the areas that matter most– even the ones where we are usually uncomfortable including others:

• Education
  Every student could use more personalized education, and everyone is a student at least once in their life (if not always). AI agents can help mentor each of us, answer the dumb questions we are afraid to ask, and help us grow beyond our shell.

• Healthcare, Nutrition, & Fitness
  There just aren’t enough doctors, and webMD isn’t going to cut it. What we need is personalized care and our own knowledge base that grows with us throughout our life. A personalized agent can be with you as you shop for groceries, remind you to take time for daily exercise, or help figure out wether that mole on your arm is melanoma.

• Personal Finance, Tax, and Accounting
  Money is complicated, and no one likes talking about it, but a lot of financial choices are simple. Save money, invest cautiously, and take all the tax breaks you can. The hard part is staying on top of it all, and that’s where personalized agents can make a big impact.

• Legal Help
  No one wants to go to court, or pay their parking ticket, these are things that Google helps with right now, that could have a major impact. Now everyone can have a friendly lawyer in the family.

• Startups & Entrepreneurship
  It’s not hard to have an idea, but execution takes years of experience, and you have to learn from the best to be competitive. Imagine a world where you can hire hundreds of AI designers, software engineers, or more at the snap of a finger, and give yourself a small army of creative talent to execute on your plan. Building a website, selling a product, or making ads and marketing could be effortless, enabling a generation of solo founders and entrepreneurs.

These are just some of the opportunities that lie before us with real-life AI agents, and we can do a lot more, too. The problem is, we need the resources to get it off the ground and build up our capacity.
