Dylan Patel – Two labs will soon control most of the world's workforce
The conversation outlines a rapid centralization of global AI compute power into the hands of frontier labs like OpenAI and Anthropic, driven by exponential revenue growth per megawatt that allows them to outbid all othesummaryCompute Centralization: By the end of 2028, OpenAI and Anthropic are projected to control approximately 70-80% of all incremental compute capacity globally, effectively owning most of the world's usable FLOPs.takeawayRevenue Per Megawatt Economics: The cost of compute is roughly $10-15 million per megawatt, but frontier labs are generating $50-100+ million in revenue per megawatt. This massive margin allows them to pay premium pricestakeaway
