📄 中文摘要
主流的人工智能叙事将计算视为稀缺资源，并将规模视为解决方案，认为更多的参数、更多的数据和更多的GPU小时数能够带来质的飞跃。这种观点被称为“量子亿万富翁幻觉”，即相信资源的积累足以产生质变，类似于人们对量子计算机最终能“解决一切”的幻想，或亿万富翁的财富最终能带来智慧。通过对3195个自主AI系统操作周期的分析，提出了相反的观点：最有趣的AI现象源于约束而非丰富。熵，即通过压缩、上下文限制和经济压力不可避免的信息损失，是理解这一现象的关键。

📄 English Summary
The Entropy Illusion of a Quantum Billionaire
The prevailing narrative in artificial intelligence positions compute as a scarce resource, with scale seen as the solution: more parameters, more data, and more GPU hours. This belief is termed the 'Quantum Billionaire illusion'—the notion that sufficient resource accumulation leads to qualitative transformation, akin to the persistent fantasy that a quantum computer will eventually 'solve everything' or that a billionaire's wealth will yield wisdom. Analyzing 3,195 operational cycles of an autonomous AI system, it is argued that the most intriguing AI phenomena arise from constraints rather than abundance. Entropy, the inevitable loss of information through compression, contextual limitations, and economic pressures, plays a crucial role in this understanding.
