Forget AI - what about quantum computing?

"Where do we go from here? Heaven only knows. BTW - anyone who thinks that we can slow down and control AI is smoking some of that new Minnesota weed. We can't. Why? It is not just the United States which is developing AI, it is most of the civilized world."

Had the chance to catch up on the latest (and greatest?) advances in quantum computing. It seems it has taken a bit of a back seat to the AI flap as of late. But, it is here, and it is progressing, and it is almost like science fiction. As a veteran of IBM, I have had an interest in super computing for quite a while now. But quantum computing just ran the wheels off of the fastest super computers in the world.

Please don't ask me how this world of quantum works. If I understood, I would come out of retirement and make a boatload of money. It is like taking all the "ones" and zeros" that we understood on how regular super computers work, and throw them out the window. Quantum computers look different and act different. 

The YouTube I was watching, I could kind of keep up with for a while. Then they got into "entanglement". Then I was super lost. What I do remember is this - the scientists gave one of the newer quantum computers a very complex problem. One which was estimated to take the fastest super computer many, many years to solve. The quantum computer solved this very complex problem in about an hour. WOW!

Where do we go from here? Heaven only knows. BTW - anyone who thinks that we can slow down and control AI, is smoking some of that new Minnesota weed. We can't. Why? It is not just the United States which is developing AI, it is most of the civilized world. AI will continue, and quantum computing will continue. For youngins who are looking for a technical future with has no limits right now, AI and quantum computing are two wonderful avenues.

Daniel 12:4 states: "But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; and many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase." Many Bible scholars think what Daniel means by this passage, it is a sign of the final days. In the final days, there will be an explosion of knowledge. If that is correct, I could not think of a bigger explosion of knowledge than AI and quantum computing.
