It's just nutty.
But a lot of those predictions are based on compute and the availability of compute and Moore's law continuing.
And then somewhere in there, carbon nanotubes or some future compute substrate needs to exist.
But what we've done instead is just hammer the transistor on silicon to death and stretch it into massive data centers and stay right on your curve.
Yeah.
Well, if I can show my curve.
Yeah, sure.
Can we go ahead to the end of the, yeah.
No, not this one.
Let me back up a second.
So we got, here we go, this one here.
Yeah.
I mean, in 1939, we were actually increasing relay-based computers.
And the exponential growth of relay-based computers is the same as it is today.
And NVIDIA and other people are not looking back and say, well, we want to match the exponential growth of relay-based 70 years ago.
But they are.
The exponential growth has been pretty much the same.
This is basically a straight line.
And this is an increase of 75 quad trillion.
So it's 75,000 trillion fold increase in the hardware.
