Do I really want to click on this? It’s going to be full of utter bullshit… fuck. Edit follows


Jesus fucking Christ. Abandon all hope, ye who enter! I’ve lost brain cells. It’s a wild fucking orgy of buzzwords.

Here’s what I’ve got: light based computation has been around since the 60’s. Yet somehow it hasn’t supplanted electricity-based chips. But now someone has made a chip for training AI out of it. I guess that would just be a GPU? Anyway it’s more efficient because light. Furthermore, maybe someday this will be relevant to the quantum through some as-yet unimagined mechanism. But this is awesome because light is faster than electricity. It. Just. Is.

Fucking Christ. I didn’t see that because I had it in reader mode.

Actually would either be a TPU (tensor processing unit) or NPU (neural processing unit). They’re purpose built chips for AI/ML stuff.

Okay, science guy, but can I use it to replace human workers? I don’t really get all this computer stuff, but I need something to tell the shareholders.

I mean, most real quantum computing stunts (like, using quantum particles and effects for computing and data manipulation) are based on/manipulated by light. I too see integration of graphene and fibre-optics in CPU as a first step in this direction. Btw, we might have Terrahertz chips in the future.

Didn’t read the article so far, oracling about AGI is bullshit.

New record for most buzz words in a headline.
