Thoughts Per Watts

Thoughts Per Watts. A phrase used to compare the energy efficiency of the human brain compared to AI. For instance, the human brain uses very little energy—around 12 to 20 watts—while AI system will require thousand or even billions of watts to function.

@BasedBeffJezos, speaking with gorklon rust on X says: 

"Making the conversion of energy into intelligence as efficient as possible will dramatically drive up demand for energy and drive us up the Kardashev scale. We need more thought per Watt, this will drive us to produce more Watts." 

@BasedBeffJezos is Guillaume Verdon. Verdon leads Extropic, a thermodynamic computing startup that Wired magazine states is "developing a radical new kind of computer chip that harnesses the thermodynamic fluctuations that naturally occur within electronic circuits."
