Could someone smarter than me explain if this is a big deal or just hype? The work sound promising, but I wonder how long it would take to build and validate.

This is New Age, dressed up with the latest fashion.

After skimming the article, go back to the beginning, and ponder the opening stanza: > We are very excited to finally share more about what Extropic is building: a full-stack hardware platform to harness matter's natural fluctuations as a computational resource for Generative AI.

Man, I am not a pessimist and I am very bullish on AI-the-field but my spidey sense is tingling that this is BS. - It is written in a way that sacrifices legibility for supposed precision but because the terms used can't really be applied precisely, it's equivalent to spurious digits in a scientific calculation. The usual reason this occurs is to obfuscate or to overawe the audience. - It is hard to overstate the dif…

Someone should tell them about MCMC and alike.
Or if they want to accelerate MCMC for a particular problem, they can build a classical ASIC and scale it.
