Though Experiment: If all inference tokens in the world today ran on GB300 NVL72 Racks and DeepSeek v4.1 Flash, we would only need 200 Racks. Let's say, Opus 5.5 needs 15 times this, then we need 3000 racks. Nvidia is cranking out like 60,000 (equivalent) racks this year.
This is really interesting. All of OpenRouter's Deepseek demand (roughly 30% of total OR token traffic) could be satisfied by 5-10 GB300 NVL72 racks. Even if that 10x over the next year, it's 50-100 racks. NVIDIA is shipping 90k racks next year? What am I missing?

Based on my grok-assisted napkin math, Anthropic (just the SpaceX deal) will have enough capacity to crank out the equivalent of 25 quadrillion DS v4.1 flash tokens per day or 1.6 quadrillion Opus 5.5 tokens per day. That's 55x the current rate, or ~4x if all Opus tokens.

If Nvidia delivers the 60,000 racks in the next 12 months, we will have enough capacity for 135 quadrillion tokens per day. 300x what we are using today, or 20x if all Opus-level. Imagine a world were we are tokenmaxxing 20x from here, but all Opus 5.5.

Overconfidence is the killer. Radical optionality over truth. Your only edge is the speed at which you can change your mind.
My latest scenario: we are entering a period of permanent (decades) ultra-high uncertainty, in AI and all around. kevinkelly.substack.com/p/ou…

Recent South African Election Poll*: Rassie will get 4.9 million votes Siya will get 6.2 million votes If we do a Rassie-Siya Kolisi and throw in Jesse Kriel as Minister of Defense we have enough votes to change the constitution. *ChatGPT estimate

Let's do a thought experiment Without this one skill, Buffett wouldn’t be worth $151B. He’d be worth $14B. Still rich, but no legend. What set him apart was not only knowing how to invest...

Buffett engineered his ownership to make compounding sacred. His wealth did not grow in a vacuum. It grew on tax-aware engineering. He did not just compound returns. He compounded the compounding process.

Buffett’s genius wasn’t just picking winners. It was building a machine where winners never leaked. Build your own machine. Or watch taxes quietly eat your compounding. Difference between rich and legend.
