Researchers built a switch 1,000 times faster than today's AI chips, and it barely generates any heat

You should go look at what technology was like 50 years ago because you obviously don't understand the rate of advancement.

I did and 50 was an obvious exaggeration, although for most tech like this we are looking at 2 decades in general. Our tech advancement was generally concentrated on the evolution of existing ones with huge breakthroughs being very rare.

We went from the first microchips to personal computers in around 20 years.
We went from the first mobile phones to the first iphone in 20-30 years.
We went from ARPANET to commercial use of the internet in about 30 years.
It took lithium ion batteries about 10-15 years to go from labs to the first commercially available battery.

Going from something done in a lab to releasing a "revolution" in computing is not going to happen in a short amount of time. Just like we still don't have many of the most highly anticipated technologies. Making something good enough for mass production is halla hard.

For example, I really hoped we would have Photonics in our CPU/GPU by now after so many announced that it was "ready" in labs over the past decade. The development has only recently been accelerated because of... AI investments.

I already did, multiple times. I completely destroyed him and he keeps copy-pasting the same things to others again and again that I've completely disproven with known facts.

You can't change reality with nonsensical answers. To name just one such of your absurd examples of "completely destroying me", you claim the Nazis didn't ban guns because -- after they banned all Jews, political opponents, and "enemies of the state" from owning guns, and conducted multiple raids to search for and seize firearms, they then allowed citizens to own guns ... as long as those citizens were good Nazi party members, licensed and vouched for by a local Nazi precinct.

Seriously,

Imagine agreeing with somebody who thinks that the Nazis were "pro worker unions" after literally killing, looting and destroying all independent worker unions on May 2nd 1933

Imagine someone so dense they fail to understand the National Socialists gained power by expanding the power and privileges of labor unions -- and by promising to do far more -- only to, once they gained total power, replace all independent labor unions with one they controlled utterly: the German Labor Front.

This isn't rocket science. The National Socialists were a Leftist political party that were voted into power by Leftist voters expecting their Leftist promises to be enacted. They were never "right wing".

Imagine pushing the blame on Obama and democrats for the 2008 epstein deal, which was negotiated and signed before he became president by GOP party members

Glad you brought that up! When Epstein's crimes became known to the FBI, the liberal SDNY branch (where Epstein lived) refused to touch the case. Alex Acosta in FL was the only federal prosecutor who would act, and he's testified he came under immediate pressure once he did so to cut Epstein a sweetheart deal -- pressure from Epstein's connection to the Clintons.

Obama's DOJ respected that sweetheart deal for eight full years and refused to reopen the case. After Trump was elected, though, the case was reopened, and Epstein and Maxwell both brought to justice.

But since it’s magnetic, won’t this cause problems if someone with magnetic powers arises looking at global domination?

Looking at you, Magneto!

Magneto? Did you know that if a magnet gets wet, it becomes useless? Magneto would lose all his powers if someone turned a hose on him. I learned this from an orange man with a very, very large brain.

Yes, but the rate of advancement is accelerating because any new tech has all of our previous tech to help it along. So the time between lab and product is shrinking. And I did say 10 years, which is not short.

Your other point is the real issue. While the time from lab to product is shrinking, we don't know which breakthrough will scale to manufacturing so the clock on a future viable product may or may not be starting.

I would like first to be proven wrong. Actions not words.

All of these new technologies look great in the lab and on paper, but if they can't get it out of the lab into production then it's just fantasy.
