Wonder if AI can go insane?
AI may plan the experiments but someone has to rattle the test tubes and run the gels.
The good news is that the quantum computer Google references solved a problem very specific to what a quantum computer can do well...and that AI is a very different problem.
The bad news is that it only seems to be a matter of time before the two become one. We are witnessing the exponential growth of a technology where we don’t know what the end result will be.
I equate it to the A-Bomb...some thought it would ignite the entire atmosphere - but we couldn’t be in 2nd place. This is arguably worse, at least the A-Bomb theorists could guess at the outcomes - here we have no idea and some in Silicon Valley openly declare they’re “trying to create God”.
So yeah...what could possibly go wrong? I told my son, when he was young, that The Terminator was almost an inevitability. China has AI ‘robot dogs’ with guns....and with satellite internet, a quantum-based AI doesn’t even have to be in the device. If AI takes over that infrastructure, how do you shut it down?
Science meets sci-fi.

He also cost $125,000 to build which is over a million of todays dollars.
Some of us were kept alive... to work... loading bodies. The disposal units ran night and day. We were that close to going out forever.
