In our story contest, we ask people to imagine the future, evenly distributed. 在我们的故事大赛中，我们邀请人们畅想一个人人平权的未来。
The AI revolution has only just begun to affect humanity, and billions of humans have yet to so much as talk to a frontier LLM like Fable or Sol. This is in large part because compute limitations make it impossible to serve the highest-quality AIs to more than a relative handful of users: humanity is GPU-poor. Only a few million GPUs capable of efficiently serving frontier models are manufactured annually. AI革命才刚刚开始影响人类，数十亿人甚至还没接触过Fable或Sol这样的前沿大语言模型。这很大程度上源于算力限制——我们无法为大多数用户提供最高质量的AI服务：人类正面临GPU匮乏。目前每年仅能生产数百万块可高效运行前沿模型的GPU。
This will increase, however, as both hardware and software are scaled and optimized. Someday, such as in 2040, there may be available, for every human being, the performance equivalent of ‘a B300 GPU for contemporary LLMs’. 但随着硬件软件的规模化和优化，这种情况将得到改善。到2040年，或许每个人都能拥有相当于”当代大语言模型专用B300 GPU”的算力。
What would this world be like? 这样的世界会是什么模样？
What will our world be like when (not if) every human being has access to the equivalent of a Fable or Sol LLM 24/7/365? Will this lead to a panopticon of indefatigable AI surveillance? Will education be revolutionized by infinitely patient tutors? Will social media cease to exist as we know it? Will healthcare be revolutionized by world class AI doctors and personalized medicines? What will happen in the oft-ignored developing world? 当（而非如果）每个人都能全年无休地使用相当于Fable或Sol级别的大模型时，世界将如何改变？会形成永不疲倦的AI全景监控吗？无限耐心的AI导师会颠覆教育体系吗？现有社交媒体会消亡吗？顶级AI医生和个性化药物会变革医疗体系吗？被长期忽视的发展中地区又将发生什么？
AI as we know it already holds the potential to be far more transformative than the smartphone or perhaps even the Internet itself. 现有AI技术已具备比智能手机乃至互联网更深刻的变革潜力。
We invite you to imagine this ‘mundane’ future. 我们邀请你构想这个”平凡”的未来。
So the Singularity never happens—but GPUs keep getting made. By 2040, there may be the equivalent of 8 billion GPUs globally and everyone has access to a frontier LLM. 即便奇点永不到来——但GPU持续增产。到2040年，全球或将拥有80亿块等效GPU，人人都能使用前沿大模型。
What happens in this ‘business as usual’ future? 在这个”常规发展”的未来会发生什么？

- AI UseLLM use is permitted, but discouraged; we remind participants that LLM use tends to reduce originality and writing quality, and the flaws are especially obvious when LLM outputs are read as a group---unskillful use of LLMs will reduce the odds of being the best entry. We request disclosure of AI use. AI使用：允许但不建议使用大模型；我们提醒参赛者，使用大模型会降低原创性和写作质量，当批量阅读AI生成内容时缺陷尤为明显——不当使用将降低获奖概率。要求披露AI使用情况。
