The AI Frontier: from FLOPs to Megawatts — Anjney Midha, AMP

Anjney Midha unpacks the critical bottlenecks in AI scaling beyond just GPU acquisition, advocating for responsible infrastructure, community-aligned data centers, and an independent system operator model for compute. He discusses the perils of research hoarding, the rise of researcher CEOs, and how Anthropic's culture of "preparedness" and "output maxing" led to its success, while also highlighting his personal mission to use AI for precise end-of-life prediction.
