QuantumanAI: Why Your Future Depends on Quantum Computing & Artificial Intelligence | SXSW 2023

We've got 65 peta-flops of post quantum computing intelligence, but still can't find a half decent microphone/speaker system....welcome to 2023.

This is my field of work, quantum hardware (PhD). Thanks for covering this topic. I participate in both the technical and non-technical coverage of quantum hardware. On that note, I'll be delivering some invited quantum hardware lecture series on the machines/chips we've been building at my research lab and more. It will be open to the public next week on April 12th with my IBM friends and QuantumGrad. You are all welcomed to join us to learn about what tools and equipment we use to build real quantum devices in the field. Ignore the naysayers, let's keep building and learning from what we build. -Onri the Diné Quantum Engineer

"ChatGTP" 1,000 times - this guy really knows his stuff...

Refreshing to see someone talk about the positives of AI, instead of the usual doom and gloom

The mic feedback sounds like entering the matrix. Not a coincidence. If we start making digital twins of everything and run simulations on top of quantum computers then we’re one step away from full on simulation theory becoming reality.

It's hilarious listening to him saying chat"GTP" repeatedly ^^ Otherwise great talk! Edit: he said it right at 37:20, finally!

FIX THE AUDIO AND REUPLOAD put HPF i cannot the high frequency is too painful

Moralizing fast change and technology as inherently good is mixing up the means with the end. Fixing real problems is good. Technology could be used to do that, but it can just as well compound problems or invent new ones. If we want to be part of a "great future" we need to stop letting sales and business people be at the helm of some of the most powerful technological advances.

We do need positive people to hold onto a vision of how things could go right. However, in 2011, the designers of social media apps claimed the same positive outcomes at the same time they were designing for ultimate manipulation. Society at large failed at being able to predict those negative consequences. And now you believe that we can predict and structure quantum based AI so that the potential negative consequences are predictable or even comprehensible by society at large? Good luck Humans. The only story with a happy ending, is the one that has yet to be completed.

When scientists look overexcited about a coming utopia prepare for badass dystopia.

ChatGTP turned me completely off 😂😂

Sounds like he’s obsessed with guanosine triphosphate

"...and I forgot to mention the USA military/industrial complex - with an estimated budget of ~$2T in 2023 - will also be weaponizing AI along the way. "Don't look over there" (as economies are disrupted globally)

Chat "GTP"?😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

I have no tech background, can't stop thinking about this AI stuff. Read Ray Kurzweil books few years back. Trippy stuff

Okay, quantum computing, as we call it, is a limited special area of computing which will greatly benefit specific limited areas of computation. There are many areas of computation where what we call quantum computing does not do very well. The true breakthrough will come with biological computing, which is how our minds work which includes a different type of quantum computing than being discussed here, because that is the substrate our intelligence works upon.

He's completely wrong about the bank tellers: it took a while, but ATMs DID mostly take their jobs away. Of course they did, because THAT WAS THE ENTIRE FUCKING POINT! He's not worried about jobs but is worried about "economic disruption" (which he doesn't define). If we all can just merrily keep on making a living, what is the disruption that we need to worry about? Where I live (in the real world) "economic disruption" is actually a just euphemism for unemployment, underemployment, and loss of living standards.

His depiction of the birth of Ai in the Animatrix and the ensuing war in just wrong. The AI wanted peace, Humanity took the path of war.

Book recommendation: "Mindful AI - Reflections on Artificial Intelligence."

A rose-colored Pollyanna, which he basically gives away by saying "I'm SICK of all the doom and gloom" (I.e., I don't believe it because it makes me feel bad). Then he states "I hope that over the next two years more companies will try to [increase access and make these widely available]" WHY??? WHY would a company do that when they can keep the goose that lays golden eggs?? It might even open them up to lawsuits from the shareholders to whom the companies are legally obligated to maximize profits. And he's completely wrong about the bank tellers: their jobs DID mostly go away
