Three Observations – Sam Altman
The intelligence of an AI model roughly equals the log of the resources used to train and run it.
The socioeconomic value of linearly increasing intelligence is super-exponential in nature.
The cost to use a given level of AI falls about 10x every 12 months, and lower prices lead to much more use.
