    Given vast computing resources, the new model was able to solve certain mathematical problems, the person said on condition of anonymity because the individual was not authorized to speak on behalf of the company.

    Though only performing math on the level of grade-school students, acing such tests made researchers very optimistic about Q*’s future success, the source said.

    I’m really starting to agree that all this drama is clever marketing to sell a neat–but not bombshell–thing that would otherwise not be a real product.

      Fear of missing out is driving this entire market segment.

      No one is sure what they might miss out on but that’s not going to stop the fear of investors.

      It’s crypto all over again, but with a less-useless technology underpinning it. Seriously, a computer doing grade school arithmetic is what will threaten humanity? I’m sure it’s interesting from a research perspective how that math is being done, but math is the easiest thing for a computer to do.
