Last Week Silicon Valley Built a 'God' and Gave it a Superiority Complex
How Google Just Made Mankind Obsolete
The Death of Human Supremacy
Hereâs what happened while you were doom-scrolling through your daily existential dread.
On October 22nd, Google announced their Willow quantum chip solved a problem in two hours that would take the worldâs fastest supercomputer 3.2 years. Not 3.2 days. Years. Their new Quantum Echoes algorithm achieved something called âverifiable quantum advantage,â which is science-speak for: we just crossed a threshold we canât uncross. This is the first time in history a quantum computer has successfully run a verifiable algorithm that outperforms classical supercomputers by orders of magnitude. Theyâre using it to compute molecular structures, map the architecture of matter itself at speeds that make our current tech look like cave paintings.
But thatâs not the scary part. The scary part is what theyâre not telling you about where this leads.
Meanwhile, Yoshua Bengio, one of the three godfathers who birthed modern AI, stood up andâŠ
