Computers are going to increase in size as they consume more and more power, requiring increasingly elaborate cooling systems.

Like how the transistor made the big and hot vacuum tubes obsolete, maybe we’ll see some analog breakthrough do the same thing to transistors, at least for AI.

I doubt there is a world where we use analog for general purpose computing, but it seems perfect for messy, probabilistic processes like thinking.
