AI; "nearly enough energy to go through a phase change soon" I like the intriguing idea, that once we figure out AI, we could do some very powerful things even on today's low-end phones (10's of GFLOPS). OTOH The recent "deep learning" breakthroughs have, have come from throwing resources at NNs. And it might be that we create AI long before we understand it and are able to do it efficiently.
