And yet, where are the dramatically great inventions, the stunning new science, the shift in worldview that completely change how you see everything around you? SNS member Elon Musk’s rockets and cars are wonders of technological innovation, but I don’t lose any sleep marveling at them; I just think they’re terrific. Physicists, led by Einstein, successfully dumped the concept of the ether over a hundred years ago, but I’m an advisor to a team that’s working to understand dark energy and dark matter – without even knowing what they are, other than everywhere ether would’ve been.
In computing, we face similar challenges, as we encounter the many hyperbolic limits of Moore’s Law, computer storage vs. processor latency issues, materials science, and limits inherent to today’s AI tools.
