Not possible.
Why? If they looked at how current tech works then they could easily develop the same tech 10000x faster
How
Easy, instead of developing the technology themselves they just copy it and claim they developed it 10000 times faster.
It's a play on the original title.
replace "the joke" with "irony" and then send the image to yourself
Holy shit I think with the joke, irony, and the two of you, I might be able to put some sort of perpetual motion machine together! Now I just need some investors...

and the circle will be complete
No? Oh, that's a shame. I was hoping for some improvement in the world, but a random person on the internet said it wasn't possible without giving any reasons at all. Oh well.

Does flash, like solid state drives, have the same lifespan in terms of write? If so, it feels like this would most certainly not be useful for AI, as that use case would involve doing billions/trillions of writes in a very short span of time.
Edit: It looks like they do: https://www.enterprisestorageforum.com/hardware/life-expectancy-of-a-drive/
Manufacturers say to expect flash drives to last about 10 years based on average use. But life expectancy can be cut short by defects in the manufacturing process, the quality of the materials used, and how the drive connects to the device, leading to wide variations. Depending on the manufacturing quality, flash memory can withstand between 10,000 and a million [program/erase] cycles.

Well, I'll never see it, unless TI or another American company designs their own version.
