Study Notes

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Summary

  • AI is the most important technology ever, with artificial general intelligence (AGI) expected as soon as 2027.
  • AGI will give whoever achieves it unparalleled control over humanity's future.
  • Demand for computing power is insatiable, driving up GPU chip prices as tech companies, governments, and others scramble for resources.
  • Decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePINs) provide an alternative.
  • This approach uses aggregated small-scale infrastructure to support rapid scaling. This means GPU chips owned by individual data centers, tech companies, gaming studios, and crypto mining companies.
  • An unfair distribution of AI benefits leads to a widening wealth gap between those with access to GPUs (the "GPU Rich") and those who do not (the "GPU Poor").
  • Aethir is a network designed to increase accessible compute resources. It aggregates enterprise-grade GPUs into a single global network.
  • This increases on-demand computer resources, making AI, gaming, and virtualized computing more affordable.

  • Generative AI solutions (ChatGPT, Midjourney, Gemini) are just the beginning.
  • AGI's achievement will lead to a complete transformation of life once it emerges.
  • Wealthy nations and corporations are leading the race for AGI resources, while smaller companies face a disadvantage.
  • There is a growing demand for GPU chips.
  • Estimates suggest a 10x increase in GPU demand every 18 months.
  • One estimate suggests that reaching GPT-4 from GPT-2 would require 3000-10000x more compute power.
  • There's a significant global GPU shortage with a half-million chip supply gap.

The Problem

  • The current AI landscape is dominated by a handful of large tech corporations.
  • Access to substantial compute resources is a significant barrier for new AI companies.
  • This leads to an unfair distribution of AI outcomes and a widening wealth gap.
  • Ethical concerns exist regarding a concentration of power in a few very large companies.
