Yeah, there are definitely a lot of challenges ahead, but these do seem like tractable problems. It's also worth noting that we're basically reaching the limits of what silicon can do now, and photonic chips would have a lot of optimization potential for decades to come.

Agreed, I'm just saying there's still a lot of work and research ahead.

Absolutely, and this kind of fundamental research can only really be accomplished with state level commitment. Even in the west, much of the research into computing tech was publicly funded initially before it was handed over to the companies.

I hadn't considered that. Very good point comrade!
