It doesn’t matter how well you do in this life, how much you gain or lose, or even how much influence you can buy or steal. In the end, you will leave no trace anywhere on the planet.

Computing at the speed of light, but is it good? And is it right? Well, to jump on this topic, here’s a little information I read and saw in a video clip. It said: We’ve hit a wall with silicon chips. Electrons can only move so fast and that’s what limits how quickly today’s GPUs can train AI.

And all the good things include joy and peace, by the way. I don’t, by any stretch of the imagination, mean worldwide joy and peace.
