This is why I’m so insistent that LLMs aren’t the best way (if they are a way at all) to getting to human level intelligence. The maximum amount of energy and input data required for training and inference is many orders of magnitude less than we are currently using.

~25 years from conception to maturity, millions and billions of years of brute force development... There is a lot of energy involved in typing this sentence to you. I am not sure LLMs use more.
