Only the very good players of Go still hold a (shaky) advantage on behalf of carbon-based life. Soon our only real champions will be the painters.

There's an old classic SF story: They ask the newly built super-computer, "Is there a God?" And it answers, "There is now."

Have you heard about quantic computers?

I saw a show recently at BBC, "Human version 2.0" It talked about: understanding the brain enough to build brain-like computers and exchanging information from a brain to a computer and vice versa. Serious subject, a bit troubling.

Philosophers (Ph):"Yes...!"

(Ph)[slightly higher]:"Yes...!"
(DT): "IS..."
(Ph)[really high]:"Yes...!!!...?"
(DT): "Forty-two".

(Ph):"We're going to get lynched, aren't we?"
(DT):"Once you know what the question actually is, you'll know what the answer means"

You mean, Quantum computers, right?
Yes, I've read about them. "Qubits" for quantum bits.
I think eventually we'll have AI equal to, if not beyond, the human mind.
Quantum computers, ... ( 1 year ago by QuarksAreStrange)
Quantum computers, yes. (in French: "Quantique", sorry). A little revolution. Maybe not as a home computer - some say they won't be polyvalent enough - but for other usage (industrial, research & development, sciences (especially mathematics), etc).
Conventional computers will never match the capabilities of a Quantum computer. Crazy algorithms that can do multiple tasks at once using the Quantum "entanglement" and "superposition" phenomenon.
Recently, a new ... ( 1 year ago by QuarksAreStrange)
Recently, a new quantum computer was presented: 16 qubits. A new record. It can do any sudoku - they built a program to do so - in the blink of an eye. (no, actually it's much (much!) faster. : ) QM is fantastic!
