Neal Stephenson, Gwern, and Matt Huang launch $100K 'GPU World' story competition on AI-diffused future

The competition invites entries of 1,000–5,000 words, fiction or non-fiction, exploring a world where AI is broadly diffused—roughly one GPU per person, specified as a B300-equivalent GPU running contemporary LLMs. Total prizes are $100,000. Brian Armstrong was the first to submit, and the author suggested possibly hiding AI scores from judging. Per the guidelines, LLM use is permitted but discouraged, with disclosure requested, since unskillful use tends to reduce originality and quality, which becomes obvious when entries are read as a group.
