This was VERY interesting and worth a watch. Geordie Rose is the co-founder of D-Wave systems and has worked as their Chief Technical Officer since 06. D-Wave systems is the first company in the world to sell quantum computers. Here he explains a bit about how they work and what they will be used for, and it's scary.
Cliffs:
- yes, he actually does talk at length about how they exploit information from parallel universes (those are what he calls it anyway. maybe it's really quantum entanglement or something else, idk. But those are his words).
- he even puts up a quote from David Deusch (whoever that is) saying "Quantum computation will be the first technology that allows useful tasks to be performed in collaboration between parallel universes."
- D Wave Systems already has 2 quantum computers up and running. One is at UC Southern California, NASA has the other one.
- He describes the appearance of the quantum computers as big, black monoliths (scary). Also says when standing next to one, they give off an audible pulse about every second that sounds eerily like a heartbeat and it feels like standing next to "an alter to an alien God." (wtf is this man just evil or what?!)
- The quantum computers have an internal temperature of a fraction of a degree just above absolute zero (hundreds of times colder than interstellar space)
- he is super excited about using quantum computers to create AI and making machines that can outperform humans at literally anything (wtf is WRONG with this dude?!)
- says the shadows of the parallel worlds overlap with ours and if we're smart enough we can dive into them and grab their resources and bring them back into ours (again, his words). Reasserts that this is actually how these things work.
- he makes 3 predictions for the future:
1. In the next 5 years NASA will discover an Earth-like planet and serious ppl will start discussing how we get there, and that they'll use D-Wave's machines to figure it out. (Idk what year this talk was, but it was uploaded to YT in 2015. NASA discovered 7 Earth-like planets a month or two ago. So I guess he was right about that one).
2. By 2023, a major breakthrough in physics will occur based on a model whose cornerstone is in the reality of parallel universes; an experiment will be performed on a quantum computer that will support the new theory.
3. By 2028, intelligent machines will exist that can do anything humans can do; quantum computers will have played a critical role in the creation of this new type of intelligence.
tl;dr version:
This asshole is Miles Bennett Dyson and D-Wave Systems is Cyberdine Systems..... only scarier. Seriously watch the video (I know it's 20 mins but it's interesting and goes by quick). Just listen to the creepy way he talks about this shit and some of the words he uses (alter to an alien god? exploiting parallel universes?) And the only time he expresses excitement is when talking about making machines that are better at everything than people are.
This company seems to be doing some very wrong shit.
