Don’t cross the quantum and AI streams!!

On a more serious note, I’m not convinced that solving NISQ scaling with ML can overcome interconnect scaling. Interconnects are needed to make logical qubits, but introduce increased error rates.

Even with better hardware, the scaling problem remains hard. It’s like getting LLM agents thru complex agentic paths and the hard problem of decreasing error rates.

Google wants to win in Quantum so bad, they have to make up for their absolutely embarrassing lack of hindsight with AI.

Edit: Downvote all you want, OpenAI is a half trillion USD company now and quickly rising.

Ya mean foresight?
dekhn•31m ago
Lack of foresight in AI? They own one of the world's largest GPU/TPU fleets. They have some of the most advanced research and a path to deploy products. What exactly else should they have foreseen?
vlovich123•22m ago
Doubling down on LLMs specifically (which came out of their own research). Also getting to a point to commercialize it first. Their TPU fleet wasn’t really optimized for LLMs until recently afaik.

OpenAI has the benefit of being priced entirely on promises. Google has a lot of realized potential, which investors always find underwhelming.
cubefox•9m ago
Google has led AI research for years with Google Brain and DeepMind, but they have been overtaken by OpenAI now, and perhaps soon also by other players who are building gigantic data centers. Google's core mistake was arguably that they were far too late in coming up with a model that was competitive with GPT-4. Now ChatGPT has likely more than an order of magnitude more subscribers than Gemini. At the same time, Google's search engine is increasingly replaced by ChatGPT, drying up their main source of revenue: search ads.

Recently one of their top reasoning researchers switched to OpenAI, likely leaking Google's internal reasoning secret sauce, if they even knew anything that OpenAI didn't. I doubt they will catch up.
