Fundamentally, gut feels by following the founder on Twitter. But if I had to explain, I don’t understand the point of speeding up or getting true RnG, even for diffusion models this is not a big bottleneck, so it sounds more like a buzzword than actual practical technology.

Having a TRNG is easy, you just reverse bias a zener diode or any number of other strategies that rely on physics for noise. Hype is a strategy they're clearly taking, but people in this thread are so dismissive (and I get why, extropic has been vague posting for years and makes it sound like vaporware) but what does everything think they're actually doing with the money? It's not a better dice roller...

What is it if not a better dice roller though? Isn't that what they are claiming it is? And also that this better dice rolling is very important (and I admittedly am not someone who can evaluate this)
