Guillermo Rauch predicted that AI will make everything free, including itself. In his framing, free energy would be the last domino to fall and “humanity’s final frontier.”

Featured Source

Beff Jezos quote-posted Rauch and took a different view of the endpoint. He called energy acquisition an infinite frontier and argued that pursuing it would spread civilization to the stars.

Rauch’s post treats free energy as the final step toward abundance. Beff turns energy into an open-ended project rather than a finish line. Neither post offers a mechanism, timeline or supporting evidence for its forecast.
