#3: Extropic - Why Thermodynamic Computing is the Future of AI (PUBLIC DEBUT)
Manage episode 405937841 series 3554927
Episode 3: Extropic is building a new kind of computer – not classical bits, nor quantum qubits, but a secret, more complex third thing. They call it a Thermodynamic Computer, and it might be many orders of magnitude more powerful than even the most powerful supercomputers today.
