Michio Kaku predicts a different computing revolution lies ahead.
Top physicist says chatbots are just ‘glorified tape recorders’::Leading theoretical physicist Michio Kaku predicts quantum computers are far more important for solving mankind’s problems.
LLMs are the first glimmer of artificial GENERAL intelligence (AGI). They are the most important invention perhaps of all time.
They will fundamentally change our society, our economy, and they pose an existential threat to mankind, not to mention begging existential questions about our purpose for existing at all in a world where very shortly computers will be able to out-think and out-create us.
Quantum computers are … neat. They will allow us to solve problems conventional computers can’t. They may make current encryption models obsolete … but I haven’t heard any proposed usage of them that would be even a fraction as profound as AGI.
The AI that you’re describing probably won’t even be possible (if it even is possible. We don’t even fully understand human intelligence/brains yet) until quantum computing is ubiquitous so your whole argument is illogical.
For my own silly sci-fi take, I believe our brains are probably closer to quantum computing than traditional computing.

I wouldn’t listen too closely to discount Neil deGrasse Tyson these days, especially in domains in which he has no qualifications whatsoever.
He’s Out Of Line But He’s Right
That’s an incredibly cool explanation.
That’s an incredibly ignorant take.

Flexing that sci-fi knowledge real hard, my dude.

…What? No, why would that be a requirement? Unless you just mean that QC is easier so it will come first by chance?
More people need to learn about Racter. This is nothing new.
He’s a physicist. That doesn’t make him wise, especially in topics that he doesn’t study. This shouldn’t even be an article.
