You have to understand that little errors compound very quickly, vibecoding is super iterative.

> after the current memory crisis
It strikes me that if it were up to Sam Altman, Eliezer Yudkowsky, Bill Gates and Dario Amodei, this crisis would persist indefinitely. If it were up to them I wouldn't be surprised to see them destroy the GPUs just them to keep them from the plebs.
I picked those names not to be hyperbolic, but because of very specific things I've seen them say.

Maybe what's really inefficient is sam a and other billionaires unilaterally deciding to capitalize and productize technologies imminently slated to get 100x more energy efficient, rather than distributing hardware in a way that would surely motivate and accelerate efficiency breakthroughs, even if more slowly.

This is much more akin to books than it is to nuclear weapons. In my view you're proposing to tightly control access to something akin to the next generation of books. Is knowledge power? Yes it is and it's much more dangerous concentrated than distributed.

You should assume any of those are possible. And by that I mean: it's not physically possible to "control the technology" without instituting total surveillance and even that's just false security.
Defense is the only way.
You don't realize it, I imagine, but you're essentially advocating for the contemporary equivalent of requiring a license to print text on paper and distribute it.

Sorry but how in the world would that help with anything? You can't control an adversary, that's not how adversaries work. So that makes what you said a literal cop out.

I think you're missing my point which is more or less that compilers are these original harness and will continue to anchor human-computer interaction as they have always done.

The LLMs don't replace compilers, they challenge the next generation of compilers. And they don't replace software engineers, they shift them into yet another metasystem.

Outperform? Where would those GPUs have been without Linus' prompting? Driving a car consists of brutally simple movements critically orchestrated. This isn't a GPU outperforming Linus Torvalds, it's Linus Torvalds engaging with yet another higher cybernetic order.
