Over the last three years, technology didn’t just move fast—it aged. AI went from a clever party trick to a fully employed adult with deadlines, responsibilities, and an alarming appetite for GPUs. Datacenters followed suit, transforming into glowing furnaces where power meters spin like slot machines and cooling became a first-class workload. Meanwhile, quantum computing is still “very promising,” just not emotionally available yet. In this episode, we look back at the short but chaotic era where intelligence scaled faster than infrastructure, power became the real bottleneck, and every roadmap quietly added more electricity and fewer guarantees. It’s a candid, slightly sarcastic recap of progress, hype, heat, and unanswered calls from the quantum future.
