Theranos demonstrated that they'll bite at anything.

It's just as if he had the brilliant idea to do photonics as an outcast even though there is already a 6" wafer semi-production level fablab being built for it in The Netherlands. There is even a version of TinyTapeout for Photonics.

What's this photonic Tiny Tapeout?

This comes up every couple of years, but it hasn't seem to have made any advances since the first time I've seen this.

Now it's a good case to use your own ai to un-sloppify

This has been tried by Cray like 15 years ago and the university of Colorado 11 years ago; there were also other initiatives, all failed.
I'm not excluding that now we have more budget/time/AI to make it work (if it can), I'd just say exercise caution reading this (very AI slop) article (and anything that looks too good to be true)

Do you mean as opposed to operating in an analog fashion? My guess is because keeping it digital means it is as close a possible to a drop-in replacement for today's electronic digital computers, including all the firmware, OS, and software that has already been written for them.

Sounds incredible, as in: can't believe it.
By the way, isn't Nvidia researching this?
Very real stuff (I have a PhD on this)
So also 1000x smaller integration
