> if we can make computation 1000x more efficient per teraflop, we could use computers yo trivially design new drugs to cure cancer etc You're assuming two things: that cancer and disease can be cured by any feasible increase in computing power (not that outrageous an assumption), and that the energy savings won't be offset by keeping an even older population of disease survivors comfortable and alive. Reality is not as simple as "cure all our ailments and we're good to go". |
