AI Scaling Requires Fundamental Hardware Paradigm Shift
Current approaches to AI scaling - simply building larger data centers with more GPUs and nuclear power plants - are unsustainable and insufficient for achieving human-level AI. A fundamental rethinking of the hardware layer is required, and thermodynamic computing represents a path to 'densifying intelligence in matter' by converting energy to intelligence far more efficiently than current architectures.
ZPE Extraction via Resonance and Brownian Motion
Free energy can be extracted from the quantum vacuum using resonance, Brownian motors, and Josephson junctions, as detailed in patents by Mead and Pais.
