Statements like these often overlook that a human brain is pretty slow for a lot of tasks. It's hard to make direct comparisons, but for language (related cognitive work) we're at maybe a few tokens per second.

I wonder how even a team of humans (a meat mixture of experts) would perform on the AI benchmarks, measured in energy use per intelligence index/benchmark point.

Back in July, I timed myself manually looking at some data files to create an index out of them, and out of curiosity asked some AI to do the same.

It took me an hour (61 minutes) and I made 4 mistakes in about 80 entries. It took DeepSeek-V4-Flash 3 minutes, it cost $0.034, and only made 2 mistakes. There is no contest. Humans have lost.

Uh, yeah, humans lost at data processing about halfway through the last century. The calculator can calculate fast than you. Great that you've finally discovered what computers can do, but it doesn't mean what you seem to think it means.

These days I like to think of myself as a 100T dense model with 20 t/s prefill and 2 t/s decode. I am an RL(HF/VR/CR) policy rollout at this point.
