The Next Computing Revolution | MOONSHOTS

Will AI eventually solve data centers and chips in a way that we don't need them at all? I think the answer is probably yes. There are so many ways to compute that are allowed by the known laws of physics that I do think it is very likely that we will ultimately transcend semiconductors and CMOS. And by ultimately, I mean on the timescale of a decade, not like centuries. I've spoken on the pod in the past about black hole supercomputers on your desktop, about plasma computers. I think it is very likely that advances in physics and AI and AI for physics that will discover breakthrough substrates that go well beyond just sort of the obvious next steps like photonics to maybe maximally ambitiously computing directly using gravity and/or quantum gravity. Not sure when, maybe 10 to 20 years out where we're literally replacing data centers and chips with pure energy and stress energy tensor and computing with gravity.
