Summary

If in 2026 people can already run local models on their smartphones to solve only 50% of the use cases of AI in five years, 95% of the population are able to run 90% of the use cases of AI on a smartphone. They're building all of these data centers and it's not at all clear that the compute paradigm that we're currently operating under is going to continue in which case maybe you don't need all those data centers.

Why listen

It goes beyond the title with direct discussion of data, know, like, including: They're building all of these data centers and it's not at all clear that the compute paradigm that we're currently operating under is going to continue in which case maybe you don.
