      Maybe we will, maybe we won’t, but at least it’s tech news for a change. 😄

      I thought the same thing about soft, bend-able screens. But that became a fairly big thing.

    The one advantage we have over the machines is that their chips are destructible. Can we stop this research?

        We can start farming these computers to feed our ever growing population. We just need to build a simulation they can live in, so they don’t get stale.

    This is interesting in a “how far can you launch a pumpkin using an air canon” way, not a “you only need to cool this down to -40C to make it super conduct” way. It’s a fun experiment with nearly zero practical purpose outside of some very niche edge cases. Wearable computing is probably the only realistic one at the moment for a CPU that you can stretch a little and runs incredibly slow.
