It's a cool subject and article and things I only have a general understanding of (considering the place of posting).

What I'm sure about is having a programming unit more purposed to a task is more optimal than a general programming unit designed to accommodate all programming tasks.

More and more of the economics of programming boils down to energy usage and invariably towards physical rules, the efficiency of the process has the benefit of less energy consumed.

As a Layman is makes general sense. Maybe a future where productivity is based closer on energy efficiency rather than monetary gain pushes the economy in better directions.

Cryptocurrency and LLMs seem like they'll play out that story over the next 10 years.
