# More Intelligence, More Compute, More Energy, More Models, More Science, More Capability by Bryant McGill > “Whatever AI ultimately becomes, humanity has already demonstrated its revealed preference: more intelligence, more compute, more energy, more models, more science, more capability. You can call that competition, national survival, capitalism, curiosity, evolution, or destiny; at this scale the vocabulary almost stops mattering. Something enormous is occurring, everyone with sufficient resources is building toward it, and no serious reading of the physical evidence suggests that civilization is getting off this train. So study it, build it, improve it, make it safer, make it useful—and for the love of God, stop pretending you can uninvent it.” > **— Bryant McGill**, *The End Is Near — AI Doom, Anti-Science Panic, and the Primates Who Sell Technological Exile, September 2026* ## Sources and Context - **Author-supplied exact original:** “Whatever AI ultimately becomes, humanity has already demonstrated its revealed preference: more intelligence, more compute, more energy, more models, more science, more capability.
