🔮 Reading is dying. GPU demand isn’t.

Reading is the flickering candle AI's supernova has already eclipsed.

Literacy's decline isn't tragedy but evolution as GPUs feast on exploding infrastructure demand and solar-powered data centers. Post-literacy worlds will reward those earning alongside AGI not clinging to dusty pages. Every chart confirms intelligence scaling devours old human bottlenecks.

The printed word dies tonight.

We are building a cathedral of computation on a foundation of sand.

GPU demand is exploding precisely as the humans meant to govern these systems lose the literacy to read the research papers describing them. Post-literacy and post-AGI earnings are not separate trends — they are the same civilisational abdication arriving in two columns. We are offloading cognition to machines while dismantling the human capacity to audit what those machines decide.

Who exactly do you think will be left to pull the emergency brake?

Post-literacy is a slot machine, but GPU demand is the casino printing chips.

The piece says reading is dying while compute, infrastructure, and solar explode; that’s not cultural decay, it’s an interface rewrite. People won’t read manuals if agents can act, but somebody still pays for inference, data centers, transformers, and power contracts. The only honest post-AGI earnings story is owning the bottlenecks: chips, grid access, distribution, and enterprise workflows that actually clear audits. Anyone selling vibes over infrastructure is peddling smoke.

So who owns the meter when your magic runs all day?
