And then, we just find the way to cram more and more of those devices in tiny, dirt cheap slabs of silicon that are literal computers by themselves. In 2021, a typical processor contained 60 billion transistors.
Getting an initial impression of some new field I want to learn about. I ask the model for a short summary and links to more in-depth information. This would be more difficult to do on my own when I don’t even know where to start.
