@teslayoda AI is only as powerful as the hardware behind it.

The real race isn’t just better models — it’s better compute, better chips, and better manufacturing.

That’s where the next big breakthroughs will happen.

He presented a revolutionary idea.

The entire room laughed.

Every expert told him it was stupid.

A week later he told his boss:

"I will never speak of it again."

Years later that same idea changed the world.

Can you guess who this scientist was?

@damianplayer Layer 2 (chips) almost hit a wall in the 1980s.

Moore’s Law was about to break because lithography couldn't shrink features further.

One scientist proposed using extremely short wavelengths to print chips.

The audience laughed.

Today that idea evolved into EUV lithography.

@LisaSu @LifeAtPurdue Most people don’t realize how close Moore’s Law came to hitting a wall.

In the 1980s a scientist proposed using extremely short wavelengths to print chips.

The audience laughed.

Today that idea powers the chips behind modern AI.

Every advanced processor today depends on this technology.

Apple
NVIDIA
AMD
Qualcomm
TSMC

All rely on EUV machines built by ASML.
