Future folks gonna find the tape and think AI was there since 70's

This is peak

Optical will make a comeback before tape. They're electronically writing to them rather than with lasers now, so it's in the petabyte range for storage now. Holographic storage using lithium niobate is coming back, and is actually quite good. New lenses like 2D Maxwell fisheye lenses are making sensing robots more accurate, and acting as waveguides to better allow photonic processing. LightOn's Appliance is a practical example of photonic processing, and Akhetonics has an "XPU" it's working on that is to my understanding also quantum.

Can huge advanced AI concentrate data to reduce its size? We may find new methods of compression, essentially telling AI how to create files from little data, allowing AI to perhaps fit on a Jaz drive.
