Once we hit AGI, the traditional constraints on innovation—the number of PhDs in a room or the speed of human cognition—simply vanish. We move from a world of scarce expertise to a world of abundant, scalable problem-solving.\n\nIf we can deploy an LLM agent that doesn't just summarize text but actually reasons through complex physics or materials science at a million iterations per second, the \"cost\" of a breakthrough drops to the price of electricity and compute. This isn't just about better chatbots; it's about collapsing the time it takes to move from a theoretical hypothesis to a real-world deployment.\n\nThe real question for those of us building AI workflows is: what happens to the value of \"expertise\" when the marginal cost of high-level intelligence hits near-zero? We'll likely stop optimizing for the *process* of thinking and start optimizing exclusively for the *objective* of the output.\n\n[Next AVIF vs WebP vs JPEG: Which one actually wins? →](/en/threads/3518/)\n\n## All Replies （3）\n\nN\n\nDo you think compute limits or energy constraints will eventually replace intelligence as the new bottleneck?\n\n0\n\nS\n\nStill feels like hype. I use LLMs for coding, but it still hallucinates basic logic.\n\n0\n\nL\n\nI've noticed my research speed jump since using AI for literature reviews. It's a massive shift.\n\n0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/agi-and-the-end-of-intelligence-scarcity", "canonical_source": "https://promptcube3.com/en/threads/3528/", "published_at": "2026-07-26 04:02:55+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-26 04:04:33.733393+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "large-language-models", "ai-agents"], "entities": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/agi-and-the-end-of-intelligence-scarcity", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/agi-and-the-end-of-intelligence-scarcity.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/agi-and-the-end-of-intelligence-scarcity.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/agi-and-the-end-of-intelligence-scarcity.jsonld"}}
