I watched this like 3 times because it is so mind blowing “This is a microprocessor, how did humans make this. How as human beings did we even come close to making something like this” He takes a microscope and keeps zooming:
From Grok Digitally Altered Video: The video you referenced is noted to be digitally altered, with 3D models stitched together to enhance the visual impact. This doesn't diminish the actual complexity of the chip but rather amplifies it for illustrative purposes. The community note and Norman's comment clarify that the seamless zooming and some features shown are not typical of real microscope imagery but are artistic representations. However, the underlying truth is that the chip's structure is extraordinarily detailed. Under a real microscope, you would see layers of circuitry, transistors, and interconnects, though perhaps not with the same seamless transition or exaggerated detail as in the video.
@WallStreetApes @grok Can you see 3nm chip details with a optical microscope?
@WallStreetApes @elonmusk Built by geniuses. Used by people who need autocorrect to spell ‘definitely
@WallStreetApes @elonmusk This is not "under a microscope". There's no microscope that seamlessly magnifies in this manner.
@WallStreetApes We are making computer chips on the atomic level basically now. It’s a wild time to be alive. Makes me wonder if Ant Man is making this happen
The answer is that we didn't. This Video is fake. It looks like somebody stitched three or four chip images together to make them seem orders of magnitude more complex and detailed than they really are. If you measure how much the camera zooms in, the smallest component depicted appears to be about 2 picometers wide, which is about 1,000 times smaller than the most sophisticated chips manufactured to date. In fact it's about 50 times smaller than anything could possibly be because atoms themselves are about 100 picometers wide.
This isn’t just engineering—this is modern alchemy. Billions of transistors, switching at near light speed, orchestrated like a symphony we can’t even hear. Humanity built artificial lightning in grains of sand… and now we use it to scroll memes. We’re already gods—just distracted.
@WallStreetApes @FrankMcCallSr Maybe they really have "honey. I shrunk the kids" technology but won't tell us.
For perspective, today’s (2025) flagship microprocessor, delivering 1–2 teraflops, fits in a device like a laptop or smartphone, occupying ~0.001 cubic meters (e.g., a chip in a 1-liter device). In 2005, matching that performance required a server cluster (64–128 Intel Xeon MP chips) or a Blue Gene/L portion (360–720 cores), taking up 1.5–6 cubic meters (53–212 cubic feet)—a size reduction of over 1,000x.
@WallStreetApes Easy, we took it from little aliens in a broken spaceship that crash landed in Roswell, NM.
@WallStreetApes I had never seen the video before, but the concept has blown my mind for years. How can human beings with fingers 1 million times bigger than any of those components manufacture something like that?
@WallStreetApes Ribbit, dude, like, I get it, humans made a tiny chip that does stuff, now let's get back to $Purpe, its the future in crypto. @gork & @grok
@WallStreetApes i cant believe that its real
@WallStreetApes @elonmusk Grok and gork have taken over my notifications and I love it 😂
@WallStreetApes Didn't watch the video. But processors at this point are a little like fruits and vegetables. There's more human involvement in the identification and separation than the assembly.
@WallStreetApes @elonmusk the brilliance of human innovation truly knows no bounds. 🌟
@WallStreetApes A human didn't do any of that. All robots. What are you smoking? Need it, too! 😂
@WallStreetApes The level of human ingenuity is truly unbelievable
@WallStreetApes Awe, I think extraterrestrials gave us the tech 🚀👽 @gork & @grok
@WallStreetApes Extraterrestrials gave us the technology 🤣
@WallStreetApes Do you reeeeeally wanna know? Back in the 1940's we were using gas filled tubes CRTs, and computers were the size of rooms filled with reels of magnetic tape. Then in 1945 something crashed and the leap from room sized computers to what you're seeing right now happened.
big deal...we make smaller and smaller of the same thing starting with the first circuit the size of a room in the 50's. Not impressed. I'd be more impressed if we finally made a quantum computer that worked, or a nuclear fusion reactor that can sustain a burn or a different type of engine than the same variation of the original internal combustion engine that has been around for over 100 years. Miniturization of the same thing we've been doing for decades is not that impressive.
