I just looked at the Killed By Google gallery and it's got 295 rows of 3 dead projects per row (except for the first and last rows of 2). That's 883 kills. That is truly impressive! I look forward to welcoming "Quantum AI" to that graveyard.

Hard to kill that which was never alive.

Maybe, like Schrodinger’s cat, we can all just avoid looking at Google Quantum AI and it will stay in a superposition of dead and alive.

The fact this prize exists is admitting that no one has figured out a use for quantum computers.

I have heard this mentioned several times in the last decade or so : "The only thing a quantum computer definitively does better than a classical computer is simulating a quantum computer."

Whether this capability is useful is up in the air.

Note that in practice, classical computers are going to be better at factoring numbers for the foreseeable future.

LLMs have started to show what they will never be able to do, as discussed here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40179232 Quantum machine learning is postulated to overcoming the issue with LLMs of exhibiting incredible intuition but limited intelligence.

Why does Quantum===intuition?

With things like these, I like to think how much money went into the development of the random PR assets like the weird progression diagram. Apparently, that money is better spent of these than say, someone on the Python Language Committee, or your entire Python team.

Einstein did not have GPS in mind when he was developing his theories of relativity.
