Guillaume Verdon: Why Accelerate 

it's crazy how underrated this channel is

"I have a Different way of thinking than most people" - Thats exactly how most people think.

new paradigm is called jiggle based computing

If I am getting this right, they use thermodynamic noise in a similar way as stable diffusion use random noise as starting point. Then incorporate external parameters to steer the diffusion process ?

27:38 I did not realize this is Beff Jesos lmao

Catching up on this one, so incredible, And by the video dates i can already tell a new one dropping soon! Amazing channel ❤ S³

"A mixture of different states over a continuum" ... so, hard-core analog at the speed-of-heat? - sweet.

So he is not calculating the Master Equations of the Universe, but wants to build a computer that DOES it FOR US , AND THE COMPUTER is built on BROWNIAN MOTION. So he needs to call the computer the HYPER-IMPROBABILITY-DRIVE computer, and name his sons Lunkwill and Fook. (Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, for those that didn't get it.)

What a fascinating documentary! I can't believe no one is talking about this on social media (at least that I can find). Great work S3!

First Class Gentlemen. World changing idea. Best of luck to this endeavor.

Maybe thermodynamic chips will transform computing, but they need a new speaker, this guy keeps humble bragging about his genius in a not so subtle way, and it's shredding the professionalism of the project

I love the interview here... but I feel like the "main show" was a trailer-- I literally thought it was a trailer because it felt like not a full S3 episode. I guess you are changing formats? Anyway, love this company and thank you for covering it!

thank you for bringing next gen innovations into public domain

Very interesting work, excited to see where it goes but jeez, beff's (and the interviewer's) ideology is proof that guys who spend their whole life balls deep in STEM textbooks should really be leaving the philosophy to the philosophers. The awkward code/law analogy is case in point of how these guys conceptualize everything in terms of the abstract, unfeeling, analytical worlds they live in. I don't hold that against them - obviously your head needs to be in that place 24/7 to do the kind of work they do, but they never seem to understand how there are other people who spend all day thinking about history, ethics, humanity, etc, and your towering IQ doesn't automatically mean you know better than them. Beware the Dunning-Kruger effect

I saw all of that in a DMT Trip!!!

My thinking is that considering we are essentially..n=1..as far as conscious life...seems suspect that we should go out with a whimper

very cool. wonder how far this will go

could you reccomend a solid book to understand the basics of physics to back track these computational relations with the physical ones hes making ?

Reading Stephen Hawking at 7 or 8 is wild. I was reading Frog and Toad.

S3 asks all of the questions I didn't know I wanted answered

This is gonna Blow up

Please can I have the diagrams for the mechanical implementation of a thermodynamic computer 🙏

So like cooking with no ingredients?

Really great video… but tech people really don’t understand society or human nature. I wish they would understand that they have a lane, and their thinking breaks down as soon as they leave it.

Using entropy to compute. Love it. Is randomness a computer?

I'd love to hear Michael Levin talk to this guy

nah already got interviewed, this guy is not pro humans and shady

love it!

this guy has bs written all over. if he's actually got something interesting he's tanking it with his entire style of talking about it.

he's just another Elizabeth Holmes or Sam bankman fried in the making.

i know this guy His ideas are like Super complex its true he thinks different from us

it's ironic you are using fuzzy technology and your presentations are fuzzy. It shouldn't be that hard to explain from a higher level how your technology works. I don't care about the CEO and what his thoughts are on AI and humanity. just do some animation or slides to show us pictorially on what this is. It's a bunch of jargon that no one understands. what is the theoretical performance you expect? how much per watt. How far are you from having a viable product? I mean you are in what seems like a small room with the smallest amount of equipment I have ever seen. It literally looks like you haven't even got past the theory stage. I read you got first round funding of $14m. I mean for something so revolutionary different technology that you need to build every single stack, $14.1m is like of by 20x it seems. It doesn't take a genius to figure out you don't even have a working prototype as of yet. No investors buy into your vision. Ceberas is another company that is making custom hardware for AI from the ground up and to give you a perspective they received $27m in 2016 (before this inflation we've had) and before this AI bubble. I would have thought any AI company would get way more in todays world. you are also bad at marketing. you need a short 3 minute video explaining how your tech will work, you are from the quantum computer world , so you should have seen UNSW and their breakthroughs are followed by 3 minute videos even though they don't even have all the elements to build a quantum computer, but those 3 minute videos spread like wild fire. Not your 40 minute video where one guy is stroking your ego. I'm sorry that sounds harsh but it's reality. The Founder and CEO seems smart enough so I have no objection backing him but if you can't convince me then how do you expect to convince VC money to notice you. spend $5k and get a video to show me how it works conceptually. It seems you have to use very cold temperatures to make this work. companies are get 100's of thousands of Nvidia GPU's and attach them together. I don't understand how even if you are 100x the performance from 1 chip , how you can thousands of these things all cold to so low level temperatures and then attach them together. is this even been developed? or is your concept no different to trying to build a quantum computer? you are still on theory stage? you take about the energy will be low but it uses refrigeration technology to keep it running which seems like it negates the power savings. This presentation reeks that you are running out or very close to depleting your VA money, and showing this (even though you rather not) to plead for more money, but if that's the case, talk about the tech and why we need it, talk about GPU's will take stupid amount of energy to scale up. whereas yours is better because etc. Is this just theory work? have you even got all the pieces to have a product? if you can't explain in simple terms what it does, how do you expect developers to try to programme this?

It's an interesting time to live

I am SO pumped for everything yall are doing! Let’s goooo 💪😎💪

Sounds like an analog computer

OK, really smart dude. Why do people feel the way they do about advanced technology? Why is this so widespread? Perhaps the book Ages of Discord by Turchin can give you a paradigm to understand it. The same paradigm might explain why you are able to reach into thermodynamic computing at this point in time. Just sayin'.

my gut feeling: Extropic is gonna be the biggest vaporware since Theranos. This guy has no clue as to what he is talking about, using the same vague phrases throughout his interviews ("dancing electrons..."). Co-releasing a couple of papers about quantum computing software tools at Alphabet qualifies maybe to suggest to 95%+ of the audience that he is a genius... happy to get challenged about my humble opinion though😉

This guy is like Deep Thought in Khaki

What are you talking about???

pretty sure it's all bullshit, him explaining how it actually works feels like a student who did not study but makes up a response anyway

Bruh im getting "DEVS tv show" vibe

data and info is stored using an avaerage amount of electrons to increase data redundancy, generally what he is trying to do is use AI to control electron momentum in data storage, transport and manipulation. It will increase the risk of cyber security coz one can get control of your system at an electron level and there's really no difference between electrons at equal energy levels. Why not use photons and diodes, control photon movements

I like him but I don't know if I can trust him because of how he views musk/bezos....

The 'e' should be efficient not effective

Fck the haters, keep pushing

Next Gen Scam Artist right here.

❤

He basically made a turbocharged quantum computer.

Actually seems like a no brainer..as long as the math is good

It's just my, I and me, prototype narcicist

Simple but elegant if not expected with only a touch of disappointment.

"build the computer that will understand the universe" see, Douglas Adams wrote science - not science fiction, we weren't clever enough to keep up with him and just laughed it all off

Bro needs to accelerate on the treadmill

idk, there is definitely a line with deregulation.

Gigachad 💪

Haha unfortunate thumbnail looks like history channel "Alien civilization" meme guy

This is embarassing

Okaythe chip in action would be better presentation... second nothing to fail here he can get the patents and sell the theory's to other chip manufacturing companies anyway it seems complicated

Humanity lives here in this domain but far to long many have lived out yoo hoo woo uncertainty or extreme physicalism as we've been living under wartime platonic posterity in America since ww2. It's just been many distracting interactions of the samething as European political order viper causes by design..kept society in prayer logic whataboutism conservatism vs cursed rationalism progressive interventionism while censorship of all pragmatic common sense Christian objectivism proper which is based on, Relational reality feedback loop thermodynamical systems of human & hardware is here in this avenue . We've gotten miss aligned measure ignored what Freed the servitude in the first by knowing we could create new means of production. New form & shape hardware for improving the human condition through decoupling old systems, old Affinity getting in our way by re allocation of them to be taxonomically encrypted elsewhere useful so to still be able to live them out as a measure of faith without getting out of alignment but still able to maximize benefits seeking eqaul measure to know all things furthering that supply chain in concert with one another . Not educating youth on exactly what the movement of thought that inspired the men & there myths denying the Americans the ability to keep our eyes on the prize. Ease of access teaching men and myth plurisms is dangerous in this new computational paradigm as our human infrastructure must stay in alignment it's going to stress many beliefs and ways of working & living

Prediction: In 3 years Extropic will be one of the fastest growing companies in history, if not the fastest.

Why is he so overweight and why didn’t he finish his PhD?

An episode on scalable room temp super conductors would be great. Weeks relevant to this south Korea cake out with some papers on this. Made a lot of waves not sure if legit or not This is great stuff do an episode on epaper screens/moniters and the dangers of blue light too. Our tech should he easier on our brains and eyes, just my 2 cents, met a business management consultant that says that dell is investing in eink tech apt screens because ppl are increasingly developing ocular migraine conditions, which I myself have

How many degrees of freedom per electron are you able to measure? Fascinating.

Been watching this guy for months, he still can't explain what his chip does, if he's not setting of your bullshitter alarms then your alarms are broken.
