I haven't heard anyone give a sound explanation of how we will have sufficient compute to automate a large fraction of human labour if the Ai maximalist or AI doomer arguments are to be belived. Should we really believe that Nvidia or anyone can squeeze so much compute out of their GPUs that it won…
