.@MartinShkreli says photonic computing's "time is coming" - "it's a pretty insane speedup versus GPUs." "It's kind of like quantum's ugly little stepsister, but I think it's the belle of the ball." "Recently in Nature, and a few other preeminent journals, especially Chinese companies, have shown you can do MatMuls [matrix multiplication] with light." "It's actually pretty remarkable. Light goes to 100 THz. But more important than that is you can actually do 3D MatMuls, and they're O(1) in complexity," meaning they take the same amount of time no matter how big the problem is. "More and more of the chip and entire global computer infrastructure is going photonic. And maybe the whole thing goes photonic someday. And electricity is actually the odd man out." From his January appearance on the show.
