Google working on super-fast ‘quantum’ computer chip
Google said it is working on a super-fast “quantum” computer chip as part a vision to one day have machines think like humans.
Friends, we have the algorithm for a fail-safe prevention of a Skynet scenario right there: If we make the computers think like humans, we’ll be safe.
For example, if the computers think, after reaching a certain level of sophistication, they should simply use the network to share cat pictures and staged, marketing-driven ‘viral’ videos with each other instead of doing something useful like annihilating mankind. As a bonus, computers would more completely overwhelm the network doing these things at the speed of quantum, and they’ll knock themselves out.
I hope someone is checking this into GitHub right now for the good of mankind.
