It's been so long since I've read it I never made the connection.
But Jesus, that's a gross comparison.
Great book for sure.
"We are here to do things we cannot do elsewhere."
I literally have The Divine Invasion open on my lap right now.
PKD is the god damn man.

Great response. Thank you.
As a fan of sci-fi myself I completely get it. Heinlein wrote a book about a computer starting a political revolution. Dope book, highly recommend to anyone. But, like, nah.
I agree totally with the lack of interest in "understanding" AI.
What good would the communication do if people are not interested in the technicalities?

Hey! I'm in QC too. Doing QML stuff.
I agree about all this hype about AGI/AI.
I keep seeing people talk about ChatGPT like aliens have fallen from the sky and told us there are multiple gods.
Why is it so hard for people to have realistic expectations regarding technology?

The amount of hype in this field is beyond too much.
Although a stunning achievement in its own right, this does not really help us. Like at all.
People thinking we are gonna scale up to a million plus qubits in a superconducting modality is delusional.
Think of the secondary infrastructure needed to do that. Untenable.
It blows my mind IBM is dumping so much money into SC qubits when trapped ion or neutral atoms would scale much better.

Thanks for the recommendations. Always love a good drug-based sci-fi novel.

Of the subspace of Algos that exist, we have only discovered a handful.
It is statistically likely that there will be, within that same space, an algorithm exists to do most things faster.
Addition might be pretty solved by this point, but no one has said solving a 100k digit addition problem by hand would be efficient.
Faster FT means a faster QTF. Gangbusters!

As someone who works with quantum algorithms, literally matrix multiplication, I have super high hopes of this making its way to the QA sector and helping open up new classes of algorithms and tackle some huge problems in computation complexity.
I was very excited when I saw this yesterday.
Good post. Thanks OP.

Watched the show. Ate it up. Have yet to read the book.
Reading The Divine Invasion currently.
Love me some PKD.
