Algorand and other cryptos claim quantum security, bitcoin is a dinosaur but the biggest and baddest 😊 But yes point taken on studying Shor's and Grover's algorithms... and... QAOA. It’s hard to believe that we can’t factor larger numbers efficiently though… something is very wrong there. I wasn’t proposing quantum computing per se as a solution to AGI… just researching short algorithmic path finding for hybrid classical/quantum optimization. Yes, there is the overlap of compression and intelligence. Does General Compression fully equal General Intelligence? Quantum computing though is a subset of quantum technology and discoveries are pouring in fast and furious. Look at the recent developments in high fidelity qubits and the Chiral-Bose liquid state. But if true plants and bacteria were using quantum optimizations long before humans existed so studying natural phenomena may lead to insight. And we are still bacteriological units. I’m not convinced though the brain isn’t performing quantum computation… we don’t know enough to say that do we? And I’m not in the camp that says one human brain is a general intelligence. The graph of human brains is IMO. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/Tb2574dcac5560d73-M3c79974e88538655c6348c30 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
