    Google also says their AI is self-aware, has feelings, wants to marry the dev who blurted that out, etc…

      Wasn’t that one dev who said that?

    One googeling person managed to come up with such extraordinary BS that all the press is echoing it…

      Stop looking at Luigi, and focus on this please.

        I get that I may be getting wooooshed, but TechCrunch nearly exclusively covers tech tech (and, uh, gaming for some reason), which that entire thing is not a part of.

    This terrible headline keeps going…

    Tldr; Completely misleading. Someone said it must use peocessing power from other universes because they are amazed by some of the results - not that anything proves anything related to a multiverse.

        Can you tell me how to get to that universe?

        I fucking loved Windows Phone and was horribly mad that Microsoft bungled it, bought Nokia, bungled it further, then eventually gave up.

        It was years ahead of the shit Apple and Google were doing, but good lord Microsoft just couldn’t manage to figure out how to sell the thing, even with super amazing hardware, like the Nokia 1020.

          You can install the Square Home launcher and be back to the look and feel of the windows phone.

    Google Quantum AI founder Hartmut Neven wrote in his blog post that this chip was so mind-boggling fast that it must have borrowed computational power from other universes.

    The linked HackerNews thread speculates that the relevant comment was tongue-in-cheek.

    Google also said they wouldn’t kill Stadia, a month before they killed Stadia. Maybe it still lives in another universe.

    Which is more likely: that Google’s benchmarking system is wrong, or that quantum computing somehow takes place across hereto unprovable alternate realities?

    I know which one I would pick.

      It’s not really a case of their benchmarking being wrong: quantum speed advantage is a real thing, the point of argument is whether that implies parallel universes or not

    So their processor is so powerful it somehow reaches out to another universe to use power for computation functions…? How do you even prove something like this?

      My understanding of quantum algorithms is that they set up parallel computations in such a way that incorrect solutions cancel out and correct ones reinforce each other. They indicate the existence of multiple universes to the same extent that the double slit experiment does.

    But is it a simulated multiverse?
