Along the same lines, I asked ChatGPT-5.6 Sol to evaluate the feasibility of a neural network running natively on quantum computing, you can see the study here:

In short it's not really feasible and it suggested classical coherent photonics and in-memory compute as more viable approaches.

(Off-topic aside: these days I am more interested in funding Social Security Trust Funds (OASI & DI Solvency) - if anyone at OpenAI can help reactivate my account: rviragh@gmail.com it would let me do further studies that directly support this important goal, currently my chatgpt account was deactivated. I apologize for any mistakes I made earlier, it won't happen again. Please reactivate my account - thank you.)

So new business model meta is: acquire enough compute that you can burn millions of dollars on patentable scientific breakthroughs with unused capacity and on models nobody else has yet. That might actually kind of make sense.

Same meta as many businesses for hundreds of years: use capital investment to hire labor, use labor to produce goods (including breakthroughs), sell goods and leverage patents. How many patents do IBM/etc have?

My neighbour - a few hundred metres further up the road - has two dogs, one of which a surefire genius as it has no problems barking out 334543333-bit RSA factorisations. It must have been solving NP-complete problems for years by now, night after night.

I wondered what the birds were singing about every morning.

It will be fun if the AI realize that quantum is not needed and just simulate the results in a classical computer

It will be really fun if it turns out that AI simulating quantum effects in a classical computer genuinely is quantum and only collapses to classical with human observation.

(yes, I know why it doesn’t work that way, but it would be fun if it did)

I find it funny to see all these framings as AI "freeing" people from some work so they are able to do some other work. People should be more prepared for the prospect of AI doing any conceivable sort of work, and this sort of formulation lulls them into a false sense of security.

They seem to run a dual strategy where, on one hand they emphasise how "helpful" these models are, while simultaneously talking about how scared they are.

I'd imagine that OpenAI would try to stagger their announcements, rather than publishing them recently close to each other. Is this because their previous post (about navier stokes problem) was met with controversy?

They are desperately rushing to IPO before the bubble bursts.

You really believe there will be less demand for AI in the future?

Not to downplay the risk, but I reckon it’s human nature to embrace the benefits and ignore the risks.

Every time I open one of the multiple daily posts about Anthropic or OpenAI and read the comments, I get this weird feeling.

Astroturfing is obviously common in political spaces, whether to normalize certain views, manufacture consensus, or shift public opinion. It seems to me that HN would be a prime target for tech companies to do the same thing, and lately I can't shake the impression that there's a lot of it going on here.

This site might be dying.
