The human brain runs on roughly 20 watts.
A high-end AI GPU can consume 300–1,000 watts during computation.
And that’s just one GPU….
The next generation of AI chips will keep closing this gap, becoming more and more energy-efficient… Moving closer to the brain’s remarkable efficiency.
My prediction: Much of today’s massive investment in AI data centers will ultimately prove unnecessary. When AI hardware becomes dramatically more efficient, many current assumptions will break. Some AI-related stocks could see severe corrections, potentially on a scale reminiscent of Black Monday.
Everyone is worried about AI taking over the world.
I’m more worried about what humans do to each other after AI takes away enough jobs.
Civilizations become unstable when people lose purpose, income and hope.
That’s how conflicts begin.
