Man explains how quantum computers work / how they exploit parallel universes / will lead to AI

I wanted to hear the conclusion of where he was going with the Bear Bear story. What's the significance of children believing that something being alive equates to its "realness"? I want to know!

Yeah I don't think he ever came back around to it. Or maybe the talk was edited, idk.

I think he's subtly fucking with us telling us D-Wave messing around in these parallel universes is what's causing the Mandella Effect. Bearenstain Bears = Bear Bear.

jk I don't really think that. :)




But what if? :eek:

On D-Waves wikipedia page it says this:



An article in the May 12, 2011 edition of Nature gives details which critical academics say proves that the company's chips do have some of the quantum mechanical properties needed for quantum computing.[49][50] Prior to the 2011 Nature paper, D-Wave was criticized for lacking proof that its computer was in fact a quantum computer. Nevertheless, questions were raised[51] and later answered[52] regarding experimental proof of quantum entanglement inside D-Wave devices.

MIT professor Scott Aaronson, who describes himself as "Chief D-Wave Skeptic", said that D-Wave's 2007 demonstration did not prove anything about the workings of the Orion computer, and that its marketing claims were deceptive.[53] In May 2011 he said that he was "retiring as Chief D-wave Skeptic",[54] and reporting his "skeptical but positive" views based on a visit to D-Wave in February 2012. Aaronson said that one of the most important reasons for his new position on D-Wave was the 2011 Nature article.[51][55][56]


Followed by this:

In May 16, 2013 he resumed his skeptic post. He criticizes D-Wave for blowing results out of proportion on press releases that claim speedups of three orders of magnitude, in light of a paper by scientists from ETH Zurich reporting a 128-qubit D-Wave computer being outperformed by a factor of 15 using regular digital computers and applying classical metaheuristics(particularly simulated annealing) to the problem that D-Wave's computer was specifically designed to solve.[33]


And then later on this:

A study published in Science in June 2014, described as "likely the most thorough and precise study that has been done on the performance of the D-Wave machine"[61] and "the fairest comparison yet", attempted to define and measure quantum speedup. Several definitions were put forward as some may be unverifiable by empirical tests, while others, though falsified, would nonetheless allow for the existence of performance advantages. The study found that the D-Wave chip "produced no quantum speedup" and did not rule out the possibility in future tests.[62] The researchers, led by Matthias Troyer at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, found "no quantum speedup" across the entire range of their tests, and only inconclusive results when looking at subsets of the tests.

lol didn't see that part. Good, I say! I hope they're NOT doing what they claim they are.
 
Or the Jetsons, or Futurama. The future does not always have to be dread just because of artificial intelligence

Yea it does. You think a buncha robots that are self aware just wanna slave away for us. Does humanity as is remind you star trek in the slightest ?

I have I robot to be the most likely . The robots tasked with our safety will come to the conclusion we are the greatest threat to it and then the wackiness will ensue.

one thing I dont get is why all these robots are made of titanium and can run the 4 40 and leap over a house and throw a car ..... Can you bastards make em out of aluminum and plastic and glass just in case things take a turn and we gotta fight em to the death ?
 
that's exactly what I thought of when he said black monolith

Is it mentioned if this quantum PC has a
Nvidia or AMD videocard ?
 
Now how well would the quantum computer be at downloading porn??
 
Also, I remember hearing something about Black Cube worship and how it's supposed to represent evil. This thing looks like a black cube. The CTO of the company that makes them describes them in this speech as "giant black monoliths, that give audio pulses every second that make it sound like a heartbeat, and says it feels like standing next to an alter for an alien god." Oh and that they exploit parallel universes and are going to create AI.

NONE of that sounds good imo.

Islam ver. 2?
 
This is fucked up, do this guys really believe that if they can make machines that outperform men in every way that they will simply follow our orders? Would you take orders from a monkey?
 
Meh, I just don't believe parallel universes exist. Now I'm not nearly as smart as those who do, but I think their belief is a kin to folks believing in God. I just don't believe there is a parallel universe exponentially expanding where each one of us causes billions of new ones to exist every second by our every moment decisions. For this to be true, in a parallel universe somewhere each one of us would have won the powerball lottery, and in another we would have been raped to death by a wild hyena. We'd be married to every other person alive today as well, and I just created another one where I didn't just type "dcedhefs" but simply a different string of letters but everything else in this world would be the same as that new parallel universe.

Or maybe I completely misunderstand the idea of infinite parallel universes.
 
Is the dude spouting theoretical wishful thinking or have they proved the multiverse hypothesis?

Are you a plane traveller from the universe where people don't get raped to death by wild hyenas on regular basis?

Dude, you're in for a surprise.
 
I'll bet their sherdog forums is stupid as hell





Probably not as much malware though

Maybe that alt/parrallel universe has meaningful discussions in the heavies and Cecil Peoples is a good judge.
Can that even be possible, even in some bizarro universe?

Well, it hardly seems possible, even in a Universe of infinite possibility

That's what I'm saying. It's like some people have too much intelligence and zero wisdom.
