In 2019, Sycamore completed a task in 200 seconds that Google claimed, in a Nature paper, would take a state-of-the-art supercomputer 10,000 years to finish. Thus, Google claimed to have achieved quantum supremacy. To estimate the time that would be taken by a classical supercomputer, Google ran portions of the quantum circuit simulation on the Summit, one of the most powerful classical computers in the world.[3][4][5][6][7][8] Later, IBM made a counter-argument, claiming that the task would only take 2.5 days on a classical system like Summit.[9][10] If Google's claims are upheld, then it would represent an exponential leap in computing power.[11][12][13]

Today I’m delighted to announce Willow, our latest quantum chip. Willow has state-of-the-art performance across a number of metrics, enabling two major achievements.

  • The first is that Willow can reduce errors exponentially as we scale up using more qubits. This cracks a key challenge in quantum error correction that the field has pursued for almost 30 years.
  • Second, Willow performed a standard benchmark computation in under five minutes that would take one of today’s fastest supercomputers 10 septillion (that is, 1025) years — a number that vastly exceeds the age of the Universe.
The Willow chip is a major step on a journey that began over 10 years ago. When I founded Google Quantum AI in 2012, the vision was to build a useful, large-scale quantum computer that could harness quantum mechanics — the “operating system” of nature to the extent we know it today — to benefit society by advancing scientific discovery, developing helpful applications, and tackling some of society's greatest challenges. As part of Google Research, our team has charted a long-term roadmap, and Willow moves us significantly along that path towards commercially relevant applications.

Our new quantum chip demonstrates error correction and performance that paves the way to a useful, large-scale quantum computer.

Thanks to our modular head structure and our detachable magnetic faces, we can easily replicate any human or humanoid creature in a brief time.

Interesting potential, I shall look forward to seeing this develop further with a passage of time.
So far I am seeing an abundance of low brow commercials on how to get rich by using AI to
write material which one can then sell as their own content.

Its a common theme, wholesale resale seems similar to me
All about the packaging ?

Original Works - that would be :thinking: what has never been done ?



I used to do some programming work... interesting are some of these tools
libwww-perl

Library for WWW in Perl - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org
For those not familiar there is a program that can crawl thru entire web pages scrape dig etc find data
Once all of that data if found checked thru and aggregated then put in order...(thats the work?)

Then someone could very lazy like... enjoy that information as a pod-cast ?
Someone would pay a few bank notes to enojy a leisure learning experience if it saved time and $

This all seems like an extension to me, you see the workflow and timeline ?

Where will it end 🤷‍♂️

cURL - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org
  • curl-loader – an open-source testing tool based on curl
  • libwww – an early library that comes with a command line interface
  • PowerShell – the iwr (Invoke-WebRequest) Windows PowerShell had functionality similar to curl; class Web-client too.[22]
  • Web crawler – an internet bot that can crawl the web
  • Wget – similar command-line tool with no associated library but capable of recursive downloading

AI-powered document understanding​

Uses advanced AI to interpret and process web page content contextually, extracting relevant information, transforming data, and customizing outputs based on the content's structure and meaning. This method enables more intelligent and flexible data extraction, accommodating complex and dynamic web content.

Human copy-and-paste​

The simplest form of web scraping is manually copying and pasting data from a web page into a text file or spreadsheet. Sometimes even the best web-scraping technology cannot replace a human's manual examination and copy-and-paste, and sometimes this may be the only workable solution when the websites for scraping explicitly set up barriers to prevent machine automation.

But writing an entire book with AI food for thought ethical may be a word that comes to mind ?


Best >>> :huggg: @Gry
Look forward to discussing this topic further :thinking:

General intelligence​

A machine with artificial general intelligence AGI should be able to solve a wide variety of problems
with breadth and versatility similar to human intelligence.[4]

Artificial neural networks​


A neural network is an interconnected group of nodes, akin to the vast network of neurons in the human brain.
An artificial neural network is based on a collection of nodes also known as artificial neurons, which loosely model the neurons in a biological brain.

AI can be very simple. It doesn't have to be some futuristic entity that is able to talk to you. The algorithms that have been used for decades by companies such as Netflix that will provide you with "Recommended" movies to watch are using machine learning to match what you've viewed with similar categories that you may want to watch and provide you with suggestions.

AI encompasses a very broad spectrum of use scenarios many of which are in use today that most don't even realize is AI.

Another example. I use a couple of those store issued rewards cards at the stores I do most of my shopping at. I like Wheat Thins and buy them often. At one particular store when you login to your account you can add digital coupons to your card that will be redeemed at payment time as long as you've entered your card into the system when you go to checkout and pay. There is a "Best Customer Bonus" section where specific deals are targeted based on shopping habits. Often there is a coupon for a free box of Wheat Thins.

The store is using AI to target me with something for free that I'm known to buy with the anticipation that I'll shop there to get that free box of Wheat Thins and once I'm in the store they'll make up for that with me buying more items. All of that is done with AI. My Lady has her own card and often gets free items but different ones because her shopping patterns are different.

When you make a phone call to a company and get one of those automated services that asks you to press 1 for option a, 2 for option b, etc... That is AI. Same thing with those growing number of automated customer service chat bots on company websites.

I only bring up these relatively simple examples to show how AI is in everyone's lives and many don't realize it.

Anyway, I've been working with AI for some time. I'm not employed in the field but am more of an advanced hobbyist self teaching myself. I find it fascinating and spend quite a bit of time learning, researching, and experimenting.

One of the biggest obstacles for people like myself is the hardware requirements to even experiment. I've had to purchase and expensive video card to be able to work with LLM's "Large Language Models" but I'm limited with what I'm able to do. I can only work with smaller models when training and fine tuning. There is cloud based hardware that you can rent but that gets expensive. Fortunately Nvidia is coming out with what's going to be a complete game changer for the average person to be able to work with AI, build AI applications, train LLM's, etc...

The release date is supposedly May but those always get pushed back. I have been planning a new workstation build just for AI but I've put that on hold in anticipation of this.

This is CS50, Harvard University's introduction to the intellectual enterprises of computer science and the art of programming. Demanding, but definitely doable. Social, but educational. A focused topic, but broadly applicable skills. CS50 is the quintessential Harvard course.

Nice to mention python sripting languages and how long we have been writting .sh automation scipts

Scripting language - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

What was achievable with simple math and machine logic,
think in human terms when we look at machines, relative ? :thinking:

A script usually automates a task that would otherwise be performed by a person in a more manual way. 🤷‍♂️

I ask my AI to make pictures all the time based on other peoples' description of things out in the wild. Some described a "Glizzy" not long ago. This is what my AI generated based on that person's description.
