All it really takes is the Limitless pill. The protagonist in the movie Limitless gets so much done after taking the Limitless pill in the movie Limitless. Limitless is a movie about a man who discovers the Limitless pill to help him accomplish almost limitless amount of things. But he learns that there is a limit that the Limitless pill can do if he takes it for too long. Because the Limitless pill isn’t really limitless.

I think it was called 'The Man Whose Brain Couldn't Slow Down'
It gets somewhat retconned in the TV series though where he's basically just this political genius who secretly runs everything.
The TV show is a lot better than it has any right to be, it's a shame it only got one season.
He learns the hard way that he needs to find a way to limit his dependency on the Limitless pill.

Back when I was in college, grad students in physics seemed to live on frozen burritos (thawed and cooked in the microwave), and cherry coke.
They have cherry scented cocaine now? It’s about time!
It's amazing what physicists can make these days.
It's an efficient, if somewhat finicky intelligence. It checks out commander.
Ya evolution is pretty cool.
And on that note the human physiology sacrifices quite a bit for its intelligence.
For example the reason humans come out as babies is because if they came out with a full sized brains they'd kill the mother!
It's all about the most proficient use of energy.
Valid, but not the first two things that I'd come up with.
Compare 1 human to one LLM session, instead of one human to all LLMs on Earth, and you’ll see that we’re way less efficient
Also, one human brain training takes feeding for years before it can do useful things.
Does that actually add up, though?
Google released stats recently that the median Gemini prompt consumes about 0.24 watt hours of electricity.
For humans performing knowledge based labor, how many prompts is that worth per hour? Let's say that the average knowledge worker is about as productive as one good prompt every 5 minutes, so 12 per hour or 96 per 8-hour workday.
Let's also generously assume that about 25% of the prompts' output are actually useful, and that the median is actually close to the mean (in real life, I would expect both to be significantly worse for the LLM, but let's go with those assumptions for now).
So on the one hand, we have a machine doing 384 prompts (75% of which are discarded), for 92 watt hours of energy, which works out to be 80 kilocalories.
On the other hand, we have a human doing 8 hours of knowledge work, probably burning about 500 calories worth of energy during that sedentary shift.
You can probably see that the specific tasks can be worked through so that some classes of workers might be worth many, many LLM prompts, and some people might be worth more or less energy.
But if averages are within an order of magnitude, we should see that plenty of people are still more energy efficient than the computers. And plenty aren't.

actual intelligence
You have a lot of faith in me.
At this point, I feel like they actually excel at classifying people by political views and all the red number as covered by spy agencies... call it a conspiracy, but its my shot in the dark
Isn't it more like they're comparing all the hamburgers and everything else you have eating since you were born?
That's what they're doing with AI enegry usages isn't it? I thought it was including the training which is where the greatest costs come from vs just daily running.
