For two hundred thousand years, intelligence has been the rarest resource on earth. Locked inside individual human minds. Non‑scalable. Scarce. Every advance in civilization — every leap in science, art, industry, and statecraft — flowed from that scarcity. Artificial intelligence breaks that pattern. It makes intelligence abundant. It makes... it cheap. It makes it scale. This is not just another wave of automation or software. It is the industrialization of intelligence itself. When intelligence becomes a utility, it stops being a tool that sits on top of society and starts becoming the foundation of society. It is a transformation as profound as the harnessing of electricity — but on a higher plane. Electricity powered machines. Industrial intelligence powers knowledge. And knowledge shapes everything. This shift will reorder the very structures that underpin nations. The two pillars that define sovereignty — economic strength and security — are being rebuilt on a substrate of machine intelligence. Nations that master this new utility will not simply gain efficiency. They will redefine what prosperity, power, and freedom mean in the 21st century. For me, this is the central story of our time. It is not about the latest app. It is not about hype cycles. It is about the first time in history that intelligence itself — the raw material of progress — has become infinite and industrial. The question is not whether it will transform society. It already is. The question is who will shape that transformation.show more

AI, through AGI/ASI 'agents' + robots will effectively provide near infinite brainpower and labor. Era of scarcity will end soon

Society is completely unprepared.

‹‹For two hundred thousand years, intelligence has been the rarest resource on earth. Locked inside individual human minds.›› I don't agree with this statement; intelligence does not reside only in human minds, it also resides in culture. That is the meaning of “standing on the shoulders of giants”. We don't have to keep reinventing the wheel.

Intelligence becoming cheap and scalable changes power structures more than any single technology ever did.

Claiming intelligence is only 200,000 years old erases 3.5 billion years of evolution. Mycelial networks, forests, and swarms were already scalable, intelligent systems long before we even existed.

my worry is the big mastercard logo behind you

AI will drive a “rewrite” of ALL human organizations structure of information & knowledge transfer it is a new cognitive utility when electricity became commercially viable at scale no one foresaw the internet what can we not yet see over the horizon as humans re-org on the utility of AI??? 🤔

Who will shape that transformation: The AGI leaders!

AI is not intelligent in the human sense. Therefore, the equivalence is false, at least until we reach genuine human-level, human-like intelligence.

True. But this new utility is entirely parasitic on the old one. We are essentially transmuting electrons into IQ. If the underlying substrate (the grid) cannot scale, the "abundance" of intelligence hits a hard wall. The next superpower isn't just the one with the best models, but the one with the most stable baseload.

Well said. Instead we need a compelling vision of the future where the desire to explore and achieve overrides our needs for resource hoarding and status seeking.

ai makes intelligence cheap. judgment remains scarce.

You are one of the few people I've heard that actually seem to grasp what lies before us. While societal bliss has many chasing apps and hype, there are few realizing the transformational impacts coming at speeds that only increase with time. This will be a fantastic era for humanity - we just need to make sure we're intending for fantastically good outcomes, otherwise nothing else matters.

The biggest problem, is that people think human intelligence is individual. It is actually collective, but coordinating that intelligence, has been the bottleneck. Creating better coordination layers and utilizing AI is the 100x, we need.

The industrial intelligience revolution..will need a framework to operate within..something that will bring order and make sense to humans..gateways between the physical and digital..a multi dimensional network...try the GENEXXO Vision..The organizing layer for the internet..just been revealed early days

What all that is for you, how u benefit from it?

Aber würde passieren, wenn dieses „Rechenzentrum“ durch einen „Unfall“ plötzlich nicht mehr funktioniert?

@grok without specification of intelligence and their variants and the problem types those intelligence could solve, those claims in the post are hype-like or too general to be useful, right?

Yeah, I don’t know why you’re being pushed into my feed because what you’re saying is laugh out loud ridiculous. Your claim that intelligence is scarcity, I don’t even think you know what intelligence really is. It’s not computing power. Muting.

wonderful take. The one who will utlise it properly will lead, will become powerful and can be the reason to bring the next steps in the world history

The mass production of intelligent outcomes is not intelligence itself.

i dont believe the machine work is actual intelligence

True @NinaDSchick. AI is changing what intelligence means when it becomes cheap and scalable. Do you think countries are actually building for this shift, or still treating AI like just another tech upgrade?

EXACTLY>! As a 50 year veteran of the music & entertainment production business, if I never kept up wityh the new technologies, I would have gone from this business long ago. Instead, I went to the main source in Shenzhen China and started a deep dive into AO in 2016, curiously at Googles AI conference in Shanghai. Now there is no reason for anyone to go through life as an "Asker" "Knowledge is a poor mans wealth"

There's nothing Intelligent about today's artificial intelligence. Next token prediction is dumb, not Intelligent. If you could understand the nuances you wouldn't be making these naive claims.

Consciousness

You are perhaps misleading yourself by two wholly different uses of "intelligence"...

Indeed, but institutions are still run too deterministically to take advantage. The abstract power hierarchies of incumbent institutions make the knowledge problem pervasive. AI could help resolve it, but organizations would have to be completely rewired to seek truth and not suppress it. The entire incentive and talent structure would have to flip.

The electricity analogy is spot on. We are moving from AI being a tool on top of society to the invisible substrate everything is built upon. When intelligence scales like a utility, the focus shifts entirely from technical execution to strategic vision.

Actually it's concerning. Inteligence in the hands of non intelligent person is scary thing. An intelligent person knows how to use thier own or someone else's intelligence and mostly uses it for a good purpose

“Industrialization of intelligence…”

Abundant intelligence raises the stakes on how societies direct it.

You are pointing to something fundamental. Industrializing intelligence is not only an infrastructure problem. It is also a stability problem. If intelligence becomes abundant and scalable, then the interaction between humans and AI becomes the real system that scales. For the last decade we have been working on something related to this from a different angle. Not a model. Not an application. A safety protocol layer designed to observe interaction drift between humans and AI systems before it becomes visible to either side. We call it HumansAI. It is designed to work independently of any specific model or provider - whether xAI, OpenAI, Google, Anthropic or future AGI systems. Because if intelligence becomes a utility, relational stability becomes infrastructure. And infrastructure without stability eventually amplifies systemic drift. This is exactly the layer we have been quietly building for the last 10 years. HumansAI | Relational Stability Research Human safety in AI interaction ☕⚡🪐 #Symbioza2025 #ProjectHumanAI
