Google's new Quantum Chip

[fd ski]

a paper has been published "destroying 2nd law of thermodynamics" 4 days ago, and we're at "nanobots and self healing computers are here" stage.

AI bot of a media personality is telling you that based on one, not reviewed yet nor replicated paper, quantum computing is about to go to the moon. Be sure to invest as much money as you can into them quantum stocks, because AI pyramid is about to fail and we need that sweet, sweet cash.

As it stands Quantum computer can't reliably run a calculator, they are still dealing with too much of error corrections issues. They are fast, but not yet usable. One day ? Sure. Here, today, self healing bots ? I have a bridge i could sell you, if you like ...

Or an AI cargo trucks pulls up on the out skirts of major cities, open up and tens of thousands of little insect size AI sub-drones fly off to sprinkle virus inoculant over the population.  Especially around the airports.  AI has already calculated which cities with transport hubs should be hit in what order given their traffic patterns to maximally spread the contagion as widely as possible.  The virus is AI genetically designed to be 99.965% lethal and with an extra long incubation time so by the time they realize they are sick, it will have already spread everywhere.

Scenarios are endless like the different ways we seem to enjoy killing each other...

I have concerns most can't handle concepts like a civil social media let alone tech that gives the sick minded outright God powers..

Sorry.  You're not going to be given a choice.  Russia and China don't give a crap about your angst.

There is only one rational choice as General Forrest would say,  "get there firstest with the mostest!"

The only possible survival strategy is to get quantum-based super-AI first and harden our defense with it before our adversaries can achieve quantum-based super-AI to attack us with.

You are helpless if your are a day late.  Adapt or die.

You act as if our leaders could handle that level of power properly...

I find it fascinating that science will prove spiritual "miracles" when most don't believe in them now..

Is it your preference that Xi and Putin have this capability and we choose to unilaterally disarm?

Do you believe that gun control laws cause criminals to voluntarily turn in their weapons?

No one actually believes that but it sounds plausible. Almost.

Don't wreck my future plans of world domination.

Just remember your buddies, man.

Your head is in the sand if you think the advance of technology will be throttled by, anything. One can be amazed at the ingenuity proceeding from the human mind while at the same time fearful of what it means for humanity.

AI is actually quite helpless.
