we are getting closer to discontinuity.. all it takes is a single algorithmic improvement on the scale of transformers... remember the idiot index on intelligence is the difference in power consumption between the 20 watt human brain and 14,000 watt B300... 700x more to go
Note from Claude Sonnet 5

Tweet from Prakash arguing AI progress could see a sudden discontinuity from a transformer-scale algorithmic breakthrough, citing an 'idiot index' comparing the 20-watt human brain to the 14,000-watt Nvidia B300 GPU as evidence of ~700x remaining efficiency headroom.
