"The most unexpected part of the Microsoft Ignite keynote was the panel discussion on Quantum Computing and the potential role for Microsoft to empower this next revolution in computing with a new programming language and qubit simulator that runs on Azure later this year. While Quantum Computing efforts are likely to be immaterial to the forecast over the next three-to-five years, the amount of airtime that Quantum Computing received at the opening keynote at Ignite showcases the longer-term aspirations for Microsoft to continue pushing the envelope of technology innovation, with an emphasis on mixed reality, AI, and quantum computing."
Title: Why AI Can't Write This Article (Yet) Excerpt: Roger Schank, a researcher and former professor, once proposed a novel goal for artificial intelligence: A computer should be able to watch West Side Story and recognize the plot of Romeo and Jul…
"To continue advances in a Moore's Law Plus world requires co-engineering and a cooperative approach across the semiconductor industry with different manufacturers, working with academia, and open standards to create an easy-to-program environment. That is why I'm confident companies will be able to add more transistors, and manage the cost curve."
'we'll begin to unpack the 10-year vision of a contextually-aware, AI-powered interface for augmented reality (AR) glasses that can use the information you choose to share, to infer what you want to do, when you want to do it'
OMG! a competitor for the ethereum blockchain! Even better for smart contracts and an alternative for Evil AWS... The tokens are valued at... $100 bln! The decentralized internet will make us all wealthy.
