The Market for Buying Higher AI Intelligence Has Just Begun
Exp_Mark · x · 2026-07-13
Sharing a perspective originally from @aliansarinik: the demand for "intelligence enhancement" could be as large as, or even larger than, intelligence itself.
The author argues that the rapid growth in RL environments and data expenditure is just the beginning of this trend. If enterprises could reliably purchase more "intelligence points" for their AI systems just as they buy computing power, almost all companies would allocate a significant portion of their budgets to such capability upgrades. This would ultimately form a multi-trillion dollar market and spawn the largest employment sector in history.
