Amadahl’s law dictates it’s approximately always better (as in, more efficient computationally) to have one super fast thing than many slower things doing the same job in parallel.

Yes. but for embarrassingly parallel tasks it barely matters.

The task the majority of people here care about (and which makes up a huge part of AI lab revenue these days) is collaborative coding with a single human which is not embarrassingly parallel.

I am aware. I was talking about HLE. Talking about how fast you can run through HLE in a serial manner is like talking about how how fast your non-simd single threaded cpu ray tracer is. Its simply not how any sensible person would tackle this problem.

Maybe not embarrassingly parallel, but can be surprisingly parallel.

Such a deep and smart insight.

But why is that important if they're measuring time?

And just like that, GP disappears forever ...
