And that biological computer has like a 20 year, you know, boot sequence.

But it's very power efficient.

So given that humans are capable of inventing, you know, general relativity and quantum mechanics and or discovering general opportunity, like inventing aircraft, lasers, the Internet and discovering physics with a 10 watt meat computer, essentially.

Then there's clearly a massive opportunity for improving the efficiency of AI compute.

It's because it's currently many orders of magnitude away from that.

And it's still the case that a 100 megawatt or even a gigawatt AI supercomputer at this point can't do everything that a human can do.

It will be able to, but it can't yet.
It will be able to, but it can't yet.
So, like I said, we've got this obvious case of human brains being very power efficient and achieving and building civilization with 10 watts to compute.

And our bandwidth is very low.

So the speed at which we communicate information to each other is extremely low.
