> There are no moving parts, I dont think memory chips or GPU chips deteriorate naturally

I believe they do, but I too would love to know more details because there are several ways this can happen. Electromigration, package failures, VRAM failures, dielectric breakdown... Hopefully there will be studies soon similar to that old Google paper on HDD failures!

Currently it's a pretty big ask to look at the several hundred billion transistors and the interconnects between them to find what broke.

Though, those capabilities are maybe just a few years out, funnily it's taking AI to make it potentially doable.
