alt Hacker NewsIt's always disappointing to see comments by arrogant elitists claiming that most people are essentially NPCs. But even if your claim was correct, the demand for inference compute capacity by businesses, governments, and universities is effectively infinite. If there is a limit then there are no signs that we're getting anywhere close to it.
If his claim is correct, and 99% of people are NPCs incapable of any meaningful thinking, that makes the 1% that actually does all the thinking of human civilization very valuable.
And that, in turn, makes AI even more valuable if it can produce thinking on demand.
