Summary:
One googeling person managed to come up with such extraordinary BS that all the press is echoing it…
I get that I may be getting wooooshed, but TechCrunch nearly exclusively covers tech tech (and, uh, gaming for some reason), which that entire thing is not a part of.
Honestly, it’s not as BS a claim as it sounds, but it is a deeply speculative one
If you read that original quote in the article. Speculation on many levels. No claim at all.
Can I go to a universe where google doesn’t exist?
Can you tell me how to get to that universe?
I fucking loved Windows Phone and was horribly mad that Microsoft bungled it, bought Nokia, bungled it further, then eventually gave up.
It was years ahead of the shit Apple and Google were doing, but good lord Microsoft just couldn’t manage to figure out how to sell the thing, even with super amazing hardware, like the Nokia 1020.
Google Quantum AI founder Hartmut Neven wrote in his blog post that this chip was so mind-boggling fast that it must have borrowed computational power from other universes.
The linked HackerNews thread speculates that the relevant comment was tongue-in-cheek.
Google also said they wouldn’t kill Stadia, a month before they killed Stadia. Maybe it still lives in another universe.
This terrible headline keeps going…
Tldr; Completely misleading. Someone said it must use peocessing power from other universes because they are amazed by some of the results - not that anything proves anything related to a multiverse.
