I don't disagree. I just come away from the article feeling more confused as opposed to enlightened and excited about what they're building.

It even makes me think that they don't understand what they're talking about which is why they're using complicated terminology to mask it but I'm hopeful I'm wrong and this is an engineering innovation that benefits everyone.

I get that feeling, too.

There may or may not be something there, but the article is mostly buzzword-slinging. They wrote "This will allow us to put an Extropic accelerator in every home, enabling everyone to partake in the thermodynamic AI acceleration." Huh?

If they said something like "We are trying to cut the cost of stable diffusion by a factor of 100", that would sort of make sense. But then people would want to see a demo.

A proof-of-concept would be amazing and that's what I thought they were releasing and would justify the hype (as opposed to a whitepaper). Maybe in a couple of months we'll see a HN post doing exactly this and we can eat our words (which I really hope is the case).
