Did Google Just Achieve ‘Quantum Supremacy’?
A leaked paper from Google claimed that a quantum computer demonstrated “quantum supremacy.” But what does that mean? » Subscribe to Seeker!http://bit.ly/subscribeseeker » Watch more Elements! http://bit.ly/ElementsPlaylist Quantum computersâ potential and the advantages they promise over classical computers all remain largely theoretical, and hypothetically speaking, it is predicted that quantum computers will be able to solve problems that are beyond the reach of the classical computers we use today. Passing such a threshold will be considered proof of what we call âquantum supremacy.â A leaked research paper revealed that Google has reached this level of quantum supremacy but the leak was quickly taken down leaving more questions than answers. So…

Transhumanism Needs To Develope Beyond Mimicry
Transhumanism encompasses a number of beliefs regarding the human being, technology, science and at times philosophy. Currently, Transhumanism is stuck in a caricature mode of applying untested or unrealistic technology in a way to advance core Transhumanist belief systems. I’m excited to share my new article at @Newsweek on #transhumanism, 3D Bioprinting the dead, and #QuantumArchaeology. This is one of my most challenging articles yet. It’s a bit long and really needs to be read all the way through. Enjoy! https://t.co/KBJRqFuBkC pic.twitter.com/g9Nc5K9kHi â Zoltan Istvan (@zoltan_istvan) March 9, 2018 It sounds fantastic to invent a path that we can 3D print human parts. Who knows maybe someday we will be…

The Truth About D-Wave Quantum Computers And Artificial Intelligence
D Wave Computers are basically about the same as classical binary-system computers, performance wise. However, Quantum Computing is a force to be reckoned with, particularly if/when an A.I. were to take the steering wheel…. In this video, I tried to put together helpful info that clarifies how quantum computing works, and points out the fatal flaws in D-Wave Systems, which need gigantic freezers to even work at all. Let me know if I was unclear on any points–I’m happy to answer questions asked by polite folks who, like me, are seeking answers to what is happening around us. Here are links to the videos featured in this presentation: D Wave…
