Cut off

Great article, about how we could see the world of AI develop, in regards to tokens and limitations.

“it now seems clear that access to frontier AI will soon be limited by economic and security constraints“

“If AI systems really do rival the output of human workers in a few months, the amount of tokens required to reproduce that much human activity would be staggering.”

“faced with this trend, competition around who gets access to these tokens will emerge. The U.S. will be protective of its domestic economy”

“AI tokens will be strategically and economically central to all future societies, so we should do our best to enable their free flow. If we fail, we’ll bear costs, economic and geopolitical.”

“In that world, we’ll also see geopolitical rifts opening: countries will be divided into the frontier haves and have-nots. I don’t mean to exaggerate when I say that those living in the former might be much wealthier and safer than the latter”
