I said SOTA not 100%. And that's not thinking in absolute terms.

If there was a continuous 500 watt GPU per person we'd increase energy consumption by more than double. The continuous energy footprint per person globally averages to 356 watt currently.

Would we all be driving the 500 Watt GPU hard 24/7? And the premise that the "AI frontier progress stops as of 1 September 2026" likely does not include semiconductor progress. You are very likely to be able to run Fable class AI model on something that is significantly more efficient in 2040.

Pangram is very accurate

No it isn't. I've put human written material in there (my own unpublished material) and it says 90%+ AI. Then I put some AI material in and it said 30% chance of AI.

I only tested it with the two pieces, but was not impressed.

> What will our world be like when (not if) every human being has access to the equivalent of a Fable or Sol LLM 24/7/365

One single sentence illustrating why tech bro has become a derogatory term. Do they realize that today many humans don't even have access to clean water?

I just finished reading Service Model by Adrian Tchaikovsky [1], a really timely novel that deals with lots of open ended questions of AI, robots, humanity, control, self determination, and so on. Really recommend it if you're into these kinds of things. > Premise Imagine that AI frontier progress stops as of 1 September 2026: AI becomes faster and cheaper, but it never becomes superhuman or improves considerably acr…

I couldn't believe it when the "real" news headline was reported - destructively scanning books.

I thought this was one of the less plausible parts of the book, Sigh! :)

My formative memory is during the transition from computers are a furniture piece and internet a thing you do to being on your pocket with constant high speed connection and the difference is incredible.

In the limited pockets of society you experience directly. How much has changed in the relationship between the West and Asia, the economic inequalities globally, or even in the West, etc... if you look at macro, everything moves according to laws that have little to do with the even distribution of technology and a lot to do with the decision makers that get to pick how that distribution takes place.

Just because something doesn't impact geopolitics doesn't mean it isn't important

“In our story contest, we ask people to imagine the future, evenly distributed.”

I think there are scenarios, however (un)likely that will lead us to this point. Imaging them and spreading such ideas can make that more likely.

But the contest does not ask what needs to happen to achieve even and fair distribution of wealth, it specifically asks what might happen after we reached that point. That kind of blindness towards today's political and socio-economic conditions has always been very typical for this kind of techno optimism. I believe it actually prevents revolutionary thought by assuming some kind of revolution has already occurred somehow in order to then attribute all following societal progress to the technology alone.

A Mac Studio m4 max in low power mode consumes ~50-100 watt on 100% gpu consumption. On GPU idle it is ~10 watt. If we imagine improved models (e.g. qwen 3.8 is a 5b moe which is way faster to process) and improved chip performance on 2nm and half a day of usage (the AI will sleep when we sleep then):

((75 watt / 2 [faster models]) / 2 [faster chips]) / 2 [half a day of usage]) => ~ 10 watt.

AI for everyone does not imply pC mAsTeRraCe for everyone.

Nah, someone imagined this before you. Be more original.
