I think the manufacturing complexity of stacking will be problematic. When the transition is made away from silicon into biocompute technologies, I wonder if space will be a holdout for silicon or if self healing systems will arise quickly enough. I didn’t think we would have a chance at seeing a world of biocomute technology in the next few decades, but after DJ Ware’s YT upload on the upcoming Landauer Limit around 2030, it seems maybe plausible. The idea of the end of silicon at the edge of tech is fascinating to me; like imagining where the holdouts will be and what will not continue.
This is a post I made after DJ Ware’s explanation. He’s a former Bell Labs engineer from an era when that meant something quite significant. He explains why the Landauer Limit will come sooner in a YT video. I’m no expert but Don seems to know his stuff.

First time I heard about this. Thanks for sharing.
Read up a bit on this and it seems that many (recent) estimates have us approaching the Landauer Limit closer to 2080-2090.

He talks about the exponential nature of progress and mentions some recent papers. It isn’t super long, like under 15 minutes IIRC.
Cheers!
