At USENIX SREcon22 APAC I gave the opening keynote on the future of computer performance, rounding up the latest developments and making predictions of where I see things heading.

Algorithms are cheaper than humans and can be networked to perform complex collections of tasks at a speed, and subsequently a scale, that humans cannot achieve. Economic subsidies are a common practice, typically sponsored by governments to protect or advance economic development. But there are a lot of variables in play here.
