The second stage of the AI economy is here: Bottlenecks and Red Queen Races - Datacenter buildout is an infinite sector that will extend to the Dyson spheres somewhere in the future - The ramp creates shortages in many areas, one by one, first in chips, then in memory, electricians , photonics etc. - Each bottleneck cause an increase in prices - then capacity in that area has to be ramped over 2-5 years - The first Red Queen Race is in cybersecurity - Frontier models have to be used for defense. Waiting till open source exposes you to hackers who also get open source tools at the same time - there will be other winner take most markets , from financial trading to cola marketing - this is likely where the surplus profits from AI will be lost. Many companies have no choice but to engage in these zero sum games. - this is how the model companies will come to dominate the economy - in search Google and Facebook became rent collector, one on all information request, the other on social information - AI is now a pay-to-win game. If you do not pay, catastrophe may strike.

looks like we have an answer on what the early AI economy will look like: - deflationary - unemployment increases - Fed decreases rates - cost of debt is cheaper - borrowing increases - stock market zooms upwards - companies keep building AI - creates some jobs at much higher productivity - best companies go from $1 mil/employee to $10 mil/employee revenue - more AI building -> more job turnover, with smaller job creation echo Challenge is to expand the hyper productive job creation fast enough to absorb the job turnover. I guess that’s where the Fed will come in running the economy hot.

Rob doing great work debunking on this. unfortunately the lies take off because there is a market for them… there is a selection funnel by which people hear what they want to hear

'MIT Study Shows 95% of AI Projects Lose Money' was the #1 AI meme for the public (and politicians) last year. So I looked into this 'study'. It was… much worse than I would have guessed. And I suspect not by mistake. The authors had a hidden agenda from the start. I explain:

"the difference between monetary wealth and real wealth just massively increases" Richard Ngo @RichardMCNgo, ex-OpenAI futurist, thinks AI will make money a weaker signal of actual life quality. "attunement to, like, your actual desires and your actual skills"

"there's something about being virtuous" Richard Ngo @RichardMCNgo, former OpenAI governance researcher, says AI alignment should look less like obedience and more like the kind of judgment we expect from a good politician. "that kind of thing sort of seems like a pretty good point to what we want from AIs"

"A part of it was just losing trust in OpenAI. " Richard Ngo @RichardMCNgo says he left OpenAI for two reasons: trust and independence. "being in any kind of organization really does condition you a little bit to be focusing on the dynamics within that organization, like what your boss cares about"

"DeepMind is... the most normal company" Richard Ngo @RichardMCNgo says the AGI race is not just about capability — it’s about culture, fervor, and how abnormal the organization becomes. "maybe Demis could teach the other AGI company CEOs."

@Noahpinion I’m not really sure it’s actually zero sum. It seem like a consumer surplus arises from price discovery and liquidity.

I have a strong sensation of dice rolling in my head. On the correct toss, someone discovers an unhobbling that dramatically increase tokens per joule. You can almost feel it in the timeline. The precursors are starting to appear.

Databricks is possibly in the worst possible position for IPO. They would enter the SaaS market segment right now. Best pivot is probably to build out their own datacenters and become a neocloud. Hard to hang on to the valuation this year.
