His spreadsheet example is very telling. The difference in energy requirements between an actual spreadsheet program and an AI spreadsheet simulator would be multiple orders of magnitude (at least 6, probably more). So the spreadsheet simulator makes no sense. I bet you have the same problem with a world simulator. The energy requirement is so huge you will have to just write a program. With the help of an LLM of course.

So I'm not buying his thesis.



Agree if we look at the next few years. However, hardware is also making significant progress. Have you seen Taalas? https://taalas.com/products/
