Key Ideas (2026)

The Flat Curve Society (Juni 2026)

Yegge's central 2026 thesis: the AI intelligence curve is flattening for the general public, not because exponential growth stops, but because:

Model Lockdown — Superintelligence will be controlled like nuclear weapons (supply chain chokepoint, 2-3 generations away)
Discernment Horizon — Humans can't verify model output past their own capability ceiling; "superhuman means unverifiable"
Demand Horizon — If your problems aren't hard enough, you can't tell models apart

Key concepts introduced:

Back-pocket evals — personal collection of hard problems to test new models against
AI Literacy Cohorts (based on Ezra Savard's Netflix study) — 0M / 4M / 12-15M tokens/day as literacy tiers
5-Hour Training Switch — 5 hours of focused team training to jump from AI-illiterate to AI-savvy
