Into a parallel universe, of course

into a cooling device the size of a nickle that is A million septillion times more efficient at cooling than anything previous- it will also be used to clear the atmosphere of cow farts, thereby saving the planet before the AOC inspired 6.3 year time limit runs out

Ha ha, in the '90s I figured out how to make Lotus Notes super-fast. It was just some tweaks, and then instruct the user to re-index and compress the replica every 6 months. Years later some of the people I optimized Notes for told me: "Yes, still running super-fast."

I tried to get the company to let me optimize everyone but they never believed I could do it or just didn't care. Eventually, they switched to Outlook like everyone else.

You would have been loved by so many where I was when Notes was in use.

Notes was frustrating on a good day.

And Willow will only require 500,000 GW/h to operate along with its associated cooling equipment.

A million septillions...that’s a lot, isn’t it?

Well,it seems the term 'google' was not currently available.

Based on the photo, it’s smaller than a man’s hand: therefore, YES. :-)

(But you will probably need a new power supply, motherboard, special connective cabling, a new operating system or kernel to take advantage of its capabilities, new applications, and a new everything else...)

Is your calculator sentient? Is the computer you currently use sentient?

This hardware will be no different other than do all of that faster: search, sort and count...and derivations of those fundamental operations.

Psalms 139
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

Our brains running on just a few watts of energy have far better judgment. Unlike robots, only we can create and invent.

With the speed they work, and of course the proper software, they will be able to peruse, weigh, and evaluate every possible response and make one that simulates intelligence.

As I said, we might not consider it “real” intelligence, but it will be so convincing, the difference may be irrelevant.

> evaluate every possible response

I disagree because in my experience they aren’t creative - they can only do what they were previously programmed to do. Even self modifying software is extremely limited in what it c an accomplish. Neural Nets are limited to whatever the training data contains - it can only come up with variations on what it is fed - nothing fundamentally new. Furthermore, they cannot ACT on what they process without getting a human involved.

In the near future one won’t be able to search anymore as Google will tell you what you want without you asking. If you don’t care about the results then too bad. Wait until it has the EV delivered that you didn’t need or ask for. How will you pay for it?

What will done with proof of a parallel universe? Dems will want to tax it.
