He might be right about intelligence becoming the new currency in a world where intelligence becomes fungible.
Lots of assumptions about the path to get there, though.
And interesting that he's measuring intelligence in energy terms.

#24AI will become "something we consider a fundamental human right", according to the guy that wants to sell you access to it
So it's going to be regulated like a utility?

#26"As AI gets smarter, access to AI will be a fundamental driver of the economy, and maybe eventually something we consider a fundamental human right. Almost everyone will want more AI working on their behalf." I don't buy it at all. This sounds like complete and total bullshit to me.
Are you Jenny Holzer, “you are trapped on the earth so you will explode” conceptual artist?

Why do you feel that way?
The fundamental driver of the economy is people eating and clothing themselves, not writing memos that are never read.

My product is going to be the fundamental driver of the economy. Even a human right!

How?

There's the appeal to the current administration.

#29Y2K errors in old COBOL code kick-started Indian IT sector, which then lead to immense economic progress and mass scale reduction in poverty. I hope LLMs pepper every thing they touch with many such errors, so that nations of Africa and poorer parts of Latin America (that can't do cheap manufacturing due to a lack of infrastructure and capital) can also begin their upwards economic journey by providing services to fi…
That's funny, but unless LLM bugs break foundational ML codebases beyond human repair (and somehow also delete all existing code, research, and researchers), the models will likely just get better than people at this in a couple years. I mean, the trajectory so far is obvious.

#30So...
* Nvidia invests 5 billion in Intel * Nvidia and OpenAI announce partnership to deploy 10 gigawatts of NVIDIA systems (Investment of upto 100 billion) * This indirectly benefits TSMC (which implies they'll be investing more in the US)
Looks like the US is cooking something...
