People in silicon valley who believe in AI/ML/Battery Technology/Solar/Wind Turbines/Space Travel/Fusion Energy throw around "exponentially accelerating progress" as a platitude so obviously true that it doesn't warrant questioning. (PC quote with my edit) "And despite Silicon Valley's ostensible belief in rationality and empirical evidence, we continue to assert this despite the data strongly suggesting that it just ain't so." - Patrick Collison The race to 7nm is expensive. I think the next big leap will be in Chip Design software which lives under a rock inside a ditch in an anachronism that is EDA - electronic design automation. There's got to be a better way that allows a chip designer to produce a high fidelity mixed signal analog chip at speed and scale without having to pay $25K+ for the software licenses and tooling.
