Thermodynamic Computing Promises Energy-Efficient AI Images (spectrum.ieee.org)

Thermodynamic computing uses physical circuits that changes in response to noise, such random thermal fluctuations in the environment, to perform low-energy computations. A recent spate of experiments, theories and prototype hardware have shown it's especially good at randomization tasks, and may be equally good at diffusion model tasks (e.g. image generation) in the future.

What if Z was X?

This thing looks like it can do okay on Q. It may be good at Z in the future!

Headline: "Thing does X!"

Yeah I’m always unclear on headlines. I’d rather de-clickbait them but some mods are very particular about only showing unedited headlines

Always remember the second law of thermodynamics.
