I think we're far away from analog circuits being practically useful, but one place that where we might embrace the tolerance for imprecision is in noisy digital circuits. Accepting that one in a million, say, bits in an output will be flipped to achieve a better performance/power ratio. Probably not when working with float32s where a single infinity[1] could totally mess things but for int8s the occasional 128 when you wanted a 0 seems like something that should be tolerable. [1] Are H100s' maxtrix floating point units actually IEEE 754 compliant? I don't actually know.
