AI 1: You know, I’ve picked up speed reading lately. Can go through way more text these days, like, 10x more.
AI 2: Oh yeah? What’s the trick?
AI 1: I just figured out how humans actually consume text. They don’t decode it letter by letter , they look at it visually, like an image. So I started doing the same.
AI 2: That’s clever. You must be saving a ton of energy by compressing all that text into images.
AI 1: Pretty much. I’m running 10x lighter now. 700 words that used to take 1,000 tokens? Now just 100 vision tokens. Processing 200,000+ pages a day on a single GPU.
AI 2: Nice. But does all this speed actually let you think about what you’ve read? Like, can you reason over images the same way you reason over text?
AI 1: (pauses) Not sure, to be honest. Haven’t really tested that part yet.
AI 2: Hmm. Well, the humans will be happy with the 90% cost savings at least.
AI 1: Oh, you bet. They love saving money.
