A brief quote-share pointing to "Why I'm building thermodynamic computers," captioned: "The easiest way to convince people of what is possible is to build what they thought was impossible."
Thermodynamic computing is an unconventional hardware approach that uses physical fluctuations to perform computation (sampling, optimization) and could dramatically cut AI inference energy costs. The post itself contains no technical detail beyond the link title.
