When do we get a real hardware paradigm shift instead of just scaling the GPU/RAM triad?
Right now, our entire path to AGI relies on throwing gigawatts at a 1945 Von Neumann bottleneck. Almost 80% of data center energy isn't even spent on compute, it's wasted just moving bytes between HBM/DRAM/SRAM and the cores. Meanwhile, we force naturally analog, probabilistic physics into strict 0s and 1s just to simulate neural weights in software. Incremental node shrinks and software optimizations are hitting a physical wall. What is the "discovery of electricity" level breakthrough that finally ditches the RAM+GPU triad for native AI hardware? Neuromorphic, photonics, or thermodynamic compute? What do you think?
