Teleportation, AI Innovation, and Outgrowing 'Good Enough'

Thing 1 - Oxford Scientists Just Teleported Quantum Logic Gates - Here's Why That’s a Huge Deal

Oxford University scientists have pulled off a quantum teleportation breakthrough - not just teleporting quantum states, but full-on logical gates (the fundamental building blocks of computation).

This means separate quantum processors can now "talk" to each other as if they were one unified machine!

Why does this matter?

• Quantum scalability: Instead of stuffing millions of qubits into a single, massive, impractical machine, we can now connect smaller quantum processors into a modular supercomputer - making quantum computing more feasible and powerful.
• A quantum internet? This is a stepping stone toward ultra-secure, instant communication between quantum machines - perhaps creating the backbone of the long-dreamed quantum internet.
• Revolutionizing AI, cryptography, and science

Why should you care?

The breakthrough shows that scalable, distributed quantum computing is possible with today’s technology - not some distant sci-fi future. We're now moving toward quantum systems that can expand, much like the internet did in the old days.

It's real progress, but we're still a long way (decades?) from realizing its full potential.

Thing 2 - AI of the week

The next week is preparing to be wild with 3 major AI labs hinting that they'll release their best new models that are "best in the world", so I'll keep this week's update light 😛

• Unitree dances with very smooth moves - so much people have been saying it's fake video lol

• France announced 109 billion Euros investment into AI over the next few years
• Zonos is an open source AI model that can clone your voice
• Google DeepMind made Veo2 video model available in YouTube shorts

Thing 3 - Grow old or just grow?

People don't stop growing because they got old, but because they started to listen to their inner voice telling them that life was good enough as it is. There is a big difference between gratitude and getting complacent. You have one shot at living a great life, take some risks.

- Orange Book

When you get older things seem to move faster because you don't have as many new experiences.

You can change that.
