*That depends on how efficient the agents are, with AI distillation they
can be pretty efficient. And much more energy is needed for training than
for inference, so 200,000 identical agents all running at the same time is
not out of the question if you're willing to devote a sizable percentage of
the nation's electrical capacity to the task; and if America's politicians
want to keep ahead of China, and they certainly will, then that is exactly
what's going to happen.*

*True but you have a pretty good chance of living to see that, provided Mr.
Jupiter Brain doesn't kill us all first.  *
