SOC of a smartphone today exists with neuromorphic compute cores for ai application acceleration in hardware, etches CMOS into multiple layer silicon data cities, information superhighways designed into CPU & GPU & DRAM, information explosion, more kinds of possibly mindsets and ideologies. If we consider thousands of nuclear bomb tests inside the USA, the US government took advantage of the lack of technical sophistocation of the general public or lay persons, but with internet access anyone at any time including digital agents called agentic entities can become connected with any kind of information, which will shape its choices and outcomes, where a persons brain 88 billion neurons forming dynamic scalable networks of different kinds in response to what a person thinks of or knows about, so even normal people can easily become very technically sophisticated about chip making FAB nodes, emerging kinds of IC or integrated circuits, computational software platforms like operating systems Windows on Intel chips, or Apple Silicon running macOS, or commodity PC hardware running any of many LINUX distros, in America in 2026 you probably have an iPhone or Samsung Android Phone, now just looking at the public mindset in response to information technology, there are an extraordinary number of possible cognitive outcomes. Today I was watching a video about people recycling motherboards from America, e-waste, many main-boards burned in a rotating oven to make ash, screens by size, ultimately sorted into past in filters finally smelted to extract gold Au nuggets a few grams at a time, using a toxic nitric acid processes that emits reddish fumes in the video, then 6 different combustion stages, where dioxins, furans, particulate matter, smog forming air pollutants, main board logic made of phenol treated with bromine flame retardant acting as a plastic glue holding the fiber glass threads together, with drilled holes tin lined to be conductive, where a few hundred ATX main-boards are able to be put through this toxic crude processing for e-waste gold recovery, that has toxic impacts on the workers doing the e-waste gold recovery, and toxic impacts on the environment near and around the location in Pakistan where they are doing mother board gold recovery smelting recycling.
