> but actual computers are nowhere near these theoretical limits, at all. The Landauer limit at ambient temperature gives something of the order of 10⁻²¹ J to irreversibly flip a bit. While, if I read this paper[1] correctly, current transistors are around 10⁻¹⁵ J. So, definitely not coming to AI "soon". [1]: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2312.08595
