Reply to comment by hatsagorts in A top AI researcher reportedly left Google for OpenAI after sharing concerns the company was training Bard on ChatGPT data by jack_lafouine

Quantum computing is like a fusion research promise is great but incrementally progressing in a snail pace like it is going nowhere. At this point google either cans the research or continues the sunken cost fallacy.

Current Quantum computers are pretty limited, still. While they exist, they are nowhere near what the hope and hype suggest. Very much still a WIP. That said, development and breakthroughs are ongoing and it's not a stagnant field of study. It's just slow, currently. We need to figure out how to keep the qubits more stable, etc.

i’m just replying to above comment, sure the hype might be misplaced and based on misunderstandings, but they do exist and work for what they do. Fusion likewise has had a revolutionary breakthrough as of a couple months ago that paves the way for actual implementation. All i’m trying to say it’s not the 90s anymore, where yes you kept hearing about this and nothing seemingly happened, now it’s actually becoming a reality, it’s not hype

Virtual reality is still hype though. No one wants to spend hours without legs.

It's hype in the sense that there isn't mass adoption. Most users quit after a month. Also magicleap is a total disappointment.

As far as I understand they are still far from capable enough to actually out pace traditional systems at anything and scaling them up causes the amount of errors to explode to the point where the results become useless.
