What opened quantum computing up for me was realizing that it’s even more connected to our physical universe than classical computing is.
I’m at Unity, where I have a day job developing software for Barracuda, our CPU/GPU optimized inference engine for neural networks. I’ve been working in the video game industry since 2003, which is usually on the cutting edge of technology, so it’s surprising that I had never heard about quantum computing until about three years ago — I don’t know if I was ignoring it or if I simply wasn’t exposed to it. Back in 2018, one of my coworkers who was already interested in quantum computing shared a few links to the IBM Quantum Experience, and explained that you could use a quantum computer online. I took a look and bookmarked it, but didn’t actually try it out.
This new technology creates photorealistic talking clones that may eliminate the need for cameras.
Thanks to a new technology, it is possible to create photorealistic digital talking humans that may eliminate the need for cameras.
We need a revolution in artificial intelligence and learning from insects will help us achieve it, says James Marshall.
