The Scaling Lie: Why Your AI Model Is Destined to Hit a Wall

The AI industry is built on a scaling lie: that more compute will solve everything. But the energy wall is real, and every ‘breakthrough’ from MoE to agents is just a delay. Neuromorphic computing, inspired by the brain’s 20-watt efficiency, offers a radical alternative — but it’s not ready yet. The future of AI depends on unlearning brute-force and embracing sparsity.

The Real AI War Isn’t Chip-on-Chip. It’s Power Grid vs. City Council.

AMD’s 5x efficiency gain in tokens per watt isn’t just a technical win over Nvidia — it’s a game-changer for where AI data centers can be built. The real bottleneck is local power grids and city councils, not chip performance. This shift turns municipal politics into the ultimate kingmaker of the AI revolution.
