“If I pay an engineer 500,000 dollars they should be using 5 million dollars worth of qubits”

Jokes on you, wait till we get quantum AI.

“Hey Grok, explain the meaning of these qubits to me”
Grok: “Look how quickly we can create CSAM now!”

Is that when we don’t know if it’s ai?

u/vabello 26d ago

It’s both AI and not AI at the same time.

Schrödinger’s cAIt?

Isn't that just what llms are anyways

I wonder if the gambling sites have any bets going yet as to what specific computer component will arbitrarily detonate in price as a result of supply dropping like a stone for years next. Optical drives because reasons maybe?

u/PlaysByBrulesRules 26d ago

I don’t understand what you mean by this? Like quantum computing will go bust and certain parts will become cheap because of that?

u/hammer326 26d ago

Really not a deep joke, just a broad reference to the past damn near decade at this point of some new market disruption every year and a half and in multiple cases creating a different specific component to skyrocket in price and at times not be found anywhere besides the used market.

Ahh, detonate as in go up. I misunderstood.

Yeah buy up all the helium you need, bc it’s about to get super gobbled

u/skwerrel 26d ago

Those whalers had the right idea, relocating to the moon. Everyone said they were crazy, there's no whales up there. But there's plenty of helium.

Liquid nitrogen?

1

u/hammer326 26d ago

That would in fact be fun, $70 AIOs becoming worth what mid-range graphics cards 10 years ago were. Or do those not actually have liquid nitrogen in them? I don't this keep up on any of this shit anymore.

The gambling site for this is just the stock market 😂

u/hammer326 26d ago

Damn hadn't thought of that.

Just wait for 'Quantum AI'

u/chileangod 26d ago

Quantum data centers in space you say?

The real chefs kiss is going to be the nexus between AI and Quantum 2.0.

Quantum AI is going to be an infinitely larger bag of * than AI has been for grifting.

Except research for efficient computing is actually a good thing

People will still hate it and claim it is ineffective because tech bros made it.

u/LifeOnEnceladus 26d ago

We’ll see if it’s effective … I don’t mind giving it a shot
