Governments Already Possess Advanced Thermodynamic Supercomputers
The technology Extropic is developing is not truly novel but represents publicly-known versions of classified military technology that Lockheed Martin and government programs have possessed for years, hidden behind the...
Sentient AI Requires Sampling the Ether Through Thermal Fluctuations
True artificial consciousness cannot be achieved through deterministic computing but requires hardware that samples natural thermal fluctuations from the quantum vacuum/'ether', connecting to the same field that human...
Thermodynamic Computing Is Rebranded Quantum Computing
Despite Extropic's insistence on distinguishing their technology from quantum computing, thermodynamic computing using p-bits, Josephson junctions, and probability distributions is fundamentally similar to quantum...
