This NEW AI Chip Will Conquer Disease Faster Than You Think | ROP #36

The future of AI runs on randomness.

Dear Rational Optimist,

I recently sat down with Gill Verdon, founder of Extropic, who's building what might be the most important computing breakthrough since the transistor: thermodynamic computers.

In this episode you’ll hear:

  • A layman’s guide to how thermodynamic computing works

  • What Gill learned working with Sergey Brin at Google

  • How thermodynamic chips could enable personalized AI assistants

  • Gill’s outlook on the geopolitical race for next-gen computing dominance

  • Why thermodynamic computing promises up to 100,000,000X gains in energy efficiency for AI
