People have been calling processing-in-memory "the future" since at least the 1980s. No one has been able to reduce the concept to a useful implementation but there is a long history of failed attempts.
At this point processing-in-memory has taken on the aura of fusion power.
OLED also has a deep history with a pretty famous opinions that it is impossible and a waste of time and money for companies to invest in the development. So does AI. From inception to product it is normal for decades to pass.
Compute needs change. AI needs are pretty unique in terms of scale and type of compute requirements to anything else so far.
