beffjezos claims thermodynamic compute will hit 1 billion pbits next year, mocking quantum's ~100 qubits in a decade

Extropic founder beffjezos declared that "quantum computing is zero dollars" and thermodynamic compute "absolutely mogs" the field: he claims 1 billion pbits on thermo next year versus quantum being stuck at 100 qubits for a decade, calling thermo compute severely underpriced. The quoted tweet quips that the hottest funded sectors—quantum, humanoid robotics, inference—all converge on an "unknowable value / infinity dollars" pitch, a tough time to be quantifiable.
