If a genie appeared and granted one wish, I would wish that we find an extremely powerful machine learning technique that doesn't scale. Imagine if an average desktop computer was almost as good as a billion dollar super computer.

In other words, I don't really care if it scales. I almost hope it doesn't.

Not sure I understand what you mean by “doesn’t scale”. Are you trying to say you would like to see a tiny model performing as well as a large model?
Even pocket computers (smartphones) are already better than billion dollar supercomputers from decades past.

What is your point?

That no one has an advantage
