When an organization reaches a certain level of wealth they become what amounts to as lawyers. Placing money in areas that demonstrate their understanding of the situation even if it may result in potential losses strengthens their brand and reputation.


A consistent theme of Quantum Computing is setting up the problem to have the hardwired achieve nicely to get a good news article to get more funding.

Im pretty reluctant to make any negative comments about these kinds of posts be cause it will prevent actually achieving the desired outcome.


Quantum computing hardware is still at its infancy.

The problem is not with these papers (or at least not ones like this one) but how they are reported. If quantum computing is going to suceed it needs to do the baby steps before it can do the big steps, and at the current rate the big leaps are probably decades away. There is nothing wrong with that, its a hard problem and its going to take time. But then the press comes in and reports that quantum computing is going to run a marathon tomorrow which is obviously not true and confuses everyone.


There in lies the problem. Hey can I have a few billion dollars for my baby doesn't really work out too well for investors or industry.

The current situation with "AI" took off because people learned their lessons from the last round of funding cuts "AI winter".

That being said any pushback against funding quantum research would be like chopped your own hands off.


Yeah whenever I get messages from people living in Florida on LinkedIn I always think twice.

Interviewed with the company that serves all the emails for dating apps and it gave me the hebe jebes.


Kind of makes me feel better about never having kids.

Just be another crop for the police state.


Social media brought nothing but a bunch of jerks who bully and enslave people. Gonna die alone because of what those people have done. I hope when the people look back at this they try every single one of those people as murderers.


I dont mind iphones but with how they lock down their devices and do things like prevent you from removing keyword suggestions so when your keyboard starts harassing you, you are out of luck.and the edges are so sharp and uncomfortable to hold.

Its like wearing a thong or being locked in chastity.As a male I dont understand why people people wear those things.


Yeah I've basically refused to ever have kid's because I cant imagine them growing up knowingly becoming slaves. As a parent I'd basically expected CPS to be called on me for having kid's in this environment.


What in the world are you talking about?


If it wasn't Ai slop, it seems close.


Hang up man.

Not sure if there’s any real human drivers on the road anymore.


The funny thing about this is sex actually does a good job at treating ADHD symptoms. Sad to see most doctors prescribing medication instead of helping kids get laid.

Almost argue most adults are doing the opposite which makes me concerned for the population.


I'm confused and concerned. Are you suggesting that adults - doctors - should be... helping... children... get laid...?


No of course not. Doctors consider patients to be crops why would they give their crops any chance of being happy or running away?


That matches my intuition, but has there actually been any proper research on this? I failed to find any now.


I find the effect very short lifed personally.


If google offer the ability to fuck up other people's lives should they be financially liable for the costs associated to return the individual to the state prior of the abuse?
