The social manipulation factor is powerful. Makes me wonder how much of this AI BOT technology is being used on Apps liks Tik Tok and Facebook, right now.

Willow…
Google’s quantum chip solves a problem that ‘proves’ we live in a multiverse.
In a groundbreaking experiment, Google’s new quantum chip, Willow, solved a computational problem in under five minutes — a task that would have taken the fastest classical supercomputers about 10 septillion years.
The feat has set off a major debate: Does Willow’s success offer real proof that we live in a multiverse?
Hartmut Neven, head of Google’s Quantum AI team, thinks so. He argues that the chip’s extraordinary computational power lines up perfectly with multiverse interpretations of quantum mechanics – the idea that quantum computers draw power from many parallel universes working together.
This concept was first proposed by physicist David Deutsch, who suggested that quantum computations happen across a vast number of coexisting realities. Willow’s staggering achievement, some claim, is the first experimental hint that Deutsch’s theory might be right.
Critics, however, aren’t convinced. They argue that other interpretations of quantum mechanics – like the Copenhagen or pilot-wave theories – could explain Willow’s success without invoking parallel worlds. They also point out that Random Circuit Sampling, the task Willow completed, was specifically designed to stress-test quantum advantage rather than to provide direct evidence of parallel universes.
Still, several aspects of Willow’s performance weigh heavily in favor of the multiverse view. Its ability to hold and manipulate many quantum states simultaneously fits naturally with the idea that computations unfold across different branches of reality. The near-instant solution to a problem that should have taken septillions of years in a single universe is difficult to reconcile without invoking multiple realities at work. And decades ago, Deutsch predicted that if quantum computers ever achieved supremacy, it would be because they were operating across parallel universes – a prediction that Willow’s achievement now seems to fulfill.
Proof or not, Willow has changed the conversation about reality itself.

Holy… I’m kinda glad I’m the age I am. This world (oops, maybe its “these worlds”) is getting pretty bizarre.

We got lots Mennonites… Which is close enough for me. I’ll be churning lots of butter when the robots take over.

good point. we should have known there were alternate universes back in the pufnstuf days!
In some ways this is very comforting. Let’s find the universe where the Lions have won multiple super bowls. And go live there. Hell, I’ll even take a universe where the Pistons beat the Knicks.
