Very big news that no one noticed so far!!

Hi.

I can't understand no one is talking about that but my jaw dropped when i read this.

Google now has a quantum computer, which as you may know is a myth of the computing world!

A quantum computer has the power to be 100 million times faster than the best conventional computer chip. It is the doorway to the future, in good or in bad.

There were rumors that the NSA has a quantum computer and has been able to spy everyone thanks to it (no security key can stand with such a computer). The NASA was looking to develop one.

Now Google has one and can use it for the greater good or global domination.

What do you think?

Yep, that's just rendered all conventional encryption useless - but provided "unbreakable" Quantum Encryption instead I guess. Interesting stuff. Seen things running in labs on TV, not in the real world until now though.
Is this the beginning of the end for us puny humans though?!

And up until recently it seemed that Terminator/Skynet fantasies were purely for entertainment purposes, now they seem like prescient documentaries.

It's not being talked about, because it's yet another quantum blah blah blah. You only have to read the tripe that google have released such as: “For a specific, carefully crafted proof-of-concept problem we achieve a 100-million-fold speed-up.” to know that it's an experiment that has only been scaled on paper and has yet to manage any useful work. These things get released every now and then and then disappear again.

Wake me when they've actually come up with something that can be programmed, rather than a machine built to solve only one algorithm.
