I mean, if you’re gonna put it that way, yeah sure but I feel like that’s the first step you take tumbling down the stairs of joining a cult.

Like reality should point you in the direction that it’s not going to become super intelligent and maybe risking the entire economy on that weird bet is something only somebody whos tumbled down a staircase into a cult would actually want to risk [You must be logged in to view images.

Although what if they’re talking about how like they really are just one step away from having another breakthrough just like they did with ChatGPT three and it’s gonna happen any day now?

Sigh… that sounds exciting but the reality is they’re probably just some Boot Camp nerd idiots.

super intelligent is one thing, parity with average intelligence and being able to emualate a person to the extent where the only thing left to argue about is the existence of a soul or not is what concerns me.

you can already create a Steve Jobs ai or different CEO that emulates them perfectly and leads to things like in star trek where the transporter is actually cloning people when they beam and isn't actually them on the other side kinda conundrums as far as the are you actually still you immortality problems when it comes to uploading your consciousness to the cloud

You don't get the entire silicon valley to join a cult, with parity.

Yeah well what about quantum computers? I was reading a science-minded magazine amongst a variety at the mechanics' (automotive not quantum) shop today and came across a pretty interesting article on quantum logic gates. Do any of you understand this concept and how it differs from electronic logic gates?

A company appears to even be selling 3-qubit personal quantum computers for only tens of thousands of dollars that you can buy right now and based on appearance it's about the size of a large desktop PC tower.

afaik the biggest difference is a logic gate can only be on or off, but a quantum bit can be on and off at the same time, so that allows for exponential multitasking or something as the technology gets better and better.

Those personal Quantum computers I was looking at a while back but are kind of like they're more for educational purposes, and like run quantum games or little logic exercises to play with on them like math blaster.

I don't know of anyone using any of them to do anything unusual but would love to find out that there are folks doing that!

The article was so good and written at that sweet spot between a wired audience and an academic paper that I'm gonna see if I can't stop by again and get a copy of it this weekend. And I'll share it with you guys. The second video has some overlap but I don't yet understand this technology as far as I can demonstrate. I'm just as much an inexperienced noob as I imagine you all are in this regard.

Maybe then they will be sufficiently advanced to come up with a name for what's wrong with you.
