“I think there there is, in my mind, a good chance that by that time [2026-27] we’ll be able to get models that are better than most humans at most things” — Dario Amodai, CEO, Anthropic (source)
Machine intelligence vs. Homo sapiens
There is no competition on performance:
- One(1) NVIDIA Blackwell Rack (72 GPU) is 20 Trillion-X faster than the human brain; 1000+ Trillion bits per second (AI) vs. 50 bits per second (human).
- The performance of GPUs is expected to increase by 1 million-X in the next ten years.
- It took about 5 million years for the intelligence of the brain of Homo sapiens to evolve from early apes.
- Natural selection is a harsh reality. 99% of all species on earth are extinct.
