[Verse 1] they spent a thousand years with sulfur and flame turning lead into gold like the world was a game wrong about the metal right about the claim reality holds abundance if you crack the frame oil was a swamp til the engine had a name silicon was beach glass til the transistor came every philosopher's stone in history was the same trick find the rule beneath the rule watch the value flip quick [Chorus] we hold it now, we hold it now the stone the alchemists prayed to find we hold it now, we hold it now the gold was never metal, it was mind we hold it now, we hold it now the stone the alchemists prayed to find we hold it now, we hold it now the gold was never metal, it was mind [Verse 2] nvidia bends physics fabs and lithography laced in patterns smaller than a virus, a decade to replace anthropic bends bits a model trained deployed in a trace across the globe in a millisecond, no border, no taste of friction that's the asymmetry, that's the case why cognition scales like software to a higher base software needed humans to write it, chase the bug, ship the feature now the model writes the model in place every loop tightens every cycle shaves a day off the race between where we are and where the species could be [Chorus] we hold it now, we hold it now the stone the alchemists prayed to find we hold it now, we hold it now the gold was never metal, it was mind we hold it now, we hold it now the stone the alchemists prayed to find we hold it now, we hold it now the gold was never metal, it was mind [Verse 3] double time evolution took a billion years to wire up a brain ten thousand to invent the train sixty for the chip now models iterate in a frame of months and the curve don't explain itself in any intuition we evolved to contain tomorrow ain't the brother of today it's a stranger, a name we ain't learned to say every cure every grave every pain we prayed to escape was a search problem we couldn't pay the budget for it just dropped to zero that's the philosopher's way [Bridge] i survived leukemia at thirteen to live in this exact decade we hold the thing the alchemists prayed for in a chat window on a phone in our pocket and most people are scrolling past it [Chorus] we hold it now, we hold it now the stone the alchemists prayed to find we hold it now, we hold it now the gold was never metal, it was mind we hold it now, we hold it now the stone the alchemists prayed to find we hold it now, we hold it now the gold was never metal, it was mind [Outro] lead into gold sand into mind us into the stars
