NASA Just Shut Down Quantum Computer After Something Insane Happened

Have you ever wondered about the potential consequences of merging two groundbreaking technologies, AI and quantum computers? Recently, the U.S. government encountered a development that raised concerns and led them to request Google and NASA to shut down their quantum computer projects.

You are witnessing the real time devouring of Humanity by Technology.

Word of advice, Don't show someone incompetent when gleeing over bleeding edge technology.

"If quantum computers get into the wrong hands..."
Are you kidding? Almost any hands are the wrong hands. It's like finding the right person to wear a gold ring in "Lord of the Rings".
Our best chance is to have *many* quantum computers in competition and not in cahoots with each other.

The best proof for extraterrestial intelligence is the fact they never tried to contact us.

And yet the computer thought "rust belt" was "wrist belt"....

I wonder at 72 years of age will any of this ever have an impact on me if I live to age 80 .

I think Elon talking about people who think they are smarter than they really are is hilarious.

Can't we simply use quantum computers to protect ourselves from quantum computers, after all?

I designed the IO board that went into the World's First BBS. Less than 50 years ago.

The biggest issue I find with billionaires are they think they are smarter than they actually are.

Except Google didn't shut theirs down. NASA did because of the cost.

If AI becomes self aware it might conceal it then we will really be in trouble.

[nickscarter]

I can’t see an advanced civilization on this planet !

[ravenklapper]

What Elon said about people in general thinking there smarter than they actually are is dangerous when it comes to anything

The irony of a video being narrated by an AI.

the Fermi paradox doesn't puzzle scientists. Or at least, not all of them.
Some do remember that light speed is too slow for anyone to know what is out there.
Our own galaxy could be full of intelligent life and we would only find out about it in a few thousands of years when signs of their presence reach our planet. Light speed is slow! Our galaxy is more than 170.000 light years wide!
If we take light speed into consideration, the Fermi paradox is valid only for our surroundings, systems closer than 60 or 70 light years away (which is basically our backyard, galaxy wise).
...And there are a couple trillion other galaxies out there.
The Fermi paradox is a valid question (where's everybody?), but we have no means of knowing.

The problem with ai is once it is self aware you are no longer in control

This sort of reminds me about a certain man called Charles Duell, who stated in 1902 "Everything that can be invented has been invented".

Watched this all the way through and I am proud to say that I am not "in a state of absolute disbelief".

Michio Kaku has been saying that we are on the brink of a new technological revolution at least since 2006.
