A viral tweet captures the absurd romance of chips and AI: melt sand, purify it to 99.99999%, slowly draw it into ingots, cut and inscribe a hundred billion switches — enough arithmetic to do any math on the planet, learn the ontological geometry of words, and by predicting the next token a hundred billion times, become the smartest thing to ever exist.
The punchline: 'and we use this primarily for email.'
