A lot of the rhetoric that seems to be critical of a singularitarian future seems to hinge on this idea that computer architecture will hit a wall in size, which seems to be dependent on whether or not we'll be able to produce carbon nanotube transistors or find some other way to solve the quantum tunneling issue. When nantero started to make memory cells out of carbon nanotubes, I was very excited about whether or not this was evidence that carbon nanotube transistors would exist and be able to bring the transistor architecture under 5nms. Not being familiar enough with computing myself, I was sure that there would be some transhumanist/singularitarian engineers out there debating this, but the internet seemed to be lacking. While I understand that architecture could for all I know shift away from transistors entirely, do you know if these nanotube memory cells are evidence that we'll have computing under the 5nm scale and sufficient to refute an argument that a wall to size will prevent any singularity from occurring?
Thank you so much for taking the time to look over our questions and everything else you've done.
