We are living in duck times.
Computer hardware is starting to age like wine. Capability increases over time without substrate improvements.

Machines cheat Moore’s law, treat memory as a fabric, and find utility in our so-called junk through evolutionary means.

This is self-similar to the progress of machine intelligence in general, leaving our symbolic abstractions behind for more biologically inspired means of improvement.
