Economy What worries people more AI or Quantum Computing

Fat fingered it

Right in the butt

In application speed is defining feature of Quantum computing.

Think of AI as intuitive software that can limit the amount of human inputs and fulfill tasks by reasoning on its own - within the parameters we give it. It will have different levels of this and with that, the possibility of creating its own parameters with very little or no human influences.

QC is a more focused on using principles of quantum mechanics in hardware in order to apply those mechanics in very specific applications. Most notably quantum positioning - but also the possibility of tunneling and entanglement

Best analogy I can give is a line maze - as super difficult as you could imagine. With classical computing - the way it would solve it is by taking one path at a time, as fast as it's hardware will allow, until it found the correct path. In quantum computing, it would take all possible pathways at one time (super positioning) it also theoretically just bypass the maze walls to get to the end (tunnneling) and communicate information with all other lines as if it were one hive (entanglement)

Applications of that include code breaking - in which could bypass any encryption.

I kinda agree with this I have a 70 billion parameter model running on my desktop somewhat slowly but still running. I could get it running faster by pulling out my other big GPU with the machine I am currently and adding 24 gigs of VRAM on the board to collectively give me 48 gigs just to AI processing. llama 3.3 70 billion parameter model running with two RTX 3090Ti boards. Rumor the RTX 5090 board will have 32 gigs of VRAM but cost nearly 3k.

A more blunt way of phrasing my original content is that the average person has absolutely no idea what quantum computing is versus classic. I'm sure there will be dumb start ups in 10 years saying how quantum is going to be a consumer product. Huge potential to upend society, but in a different way that will effectively be invisible to most people.

I too think quantum computing because we have only started to scratch the surface and already it has done in minutes what classical computers would have taken centuries. But it could be very possible that Quantum Computers will need AI to operate them to their most effective way or a hybrid approach that would need AI to decide what part of a problem can run on a Quantum computer VS traditional computer. Either way could be interesting.

It's never going to replace classical computing though, it just opens up effectively enterprise level or country level problem solving that was previously not scalable.

Yeah Google just made a qc breakthrough with the Willow chip that allows error correction at larger scales or something like that.

I think AGI is further away than people think, IF it's possible at all. But QC is about to snowball forward. So qc is scarier right now.

QC is concerning from a security perspective, but I think overall Ai will have much further reaching impacts.

Human stupidity worries me more

I selected both, in the wrong hands( I don't know if there's right hands) they could become catastrophic.

QC worries me more, not an expert on the subject, but from i've been reading, shit could break every encription made... how about bitcoin and shit? Could it break the blockchain encryption? Military systems?
Shit seem scary

Possibly some of those, but keep in mind bitcoin is already not anonymous, that was broken years ago.
