Before I get started, so my reason for posting this is not buried. I almost never use Google any more except for the "simplest" of searches. I now have the "ChatGPT" icon on my desktop and click it throughout the day whenever I have a question.
ChatGPT is still making some significant mistakes but ChatGPT is like having a very, very, very smart person sitting next to you off whom you can bounce thoughts, ideas -- I don't consider ChatGPT a "search" engine per se. I am using ChatGPT in a conversational sense to discuss ideas, thoughts. This is truly a new world. The response from ChatGPT is less important that coming up with the "right prompt." High school and college students need to be challenged on how to best use ChatGPT and how to right a good prompt.
Yesterday I posted a long excerpt from The Story of Semiconductors, John Orton, c. 2004. It took a very long time to type out and even a longer time to correct all the typos and I wondered if it was worth it.
Yes. It was.
Exhibit A, from that post, after an update:
Is anyone paying attention? Link here.
Quick: name the sector/industry that will need smaller and smaller and more and more transistors. This is absolutely fascinating. Hint: the sector/industry is not mentioned in the excerpt and I don't think it will be mentioned in the entire book. Well, actually there are two sectors, two industries. And one of them is prominently placed in the book. This tells me all I need to know about the future of AI, transistors, semiconductors.
