Indeed. After > 50 years of expensive R&D, they can factor the number 21 these days: https://www.theregister.com/20...
Currently, the try the "Big Lie" approach to obscure that.

These are fantasy numbers. The current actual QC factorization record is 21: https://www.theregister.com/20...

"Speed of a P1"? What are you dreaming? It will be less performant than a 1kHz 4 bit MCU. Much less.

Example: The current factorization record for QCs is 35. No, not 35 bit (which would be pathetic after >50 years of research), 35 as in 6 bit. The claims suggests something else entirely, but when you get down to it, that is what you actually find. Hence whatever "workable" means, it does not mean "useful for anything in the real world".

As usual, the nuclear fanatics will generate a bunch of lies, like this is not a "big" problem (4 reactors doing an automated shutdown at the same time is a massive, massive problem and a serious threat to grid stability) and other crap. These people are dumb and deep in delusion.

I think they need to urgently get rid of the clowns that pass for "leadership" there.

Hey, we are in agreement on something. Nice!

Actually, "real valued" is finite-space in this case, as real numbers in computers are essentially a fancy pair of integers.

Funny. Equivalence proofs for mechanisms are not concerned with size, as long as it is bounded. An instructive exercise is to write some code for a Turing machine, which I have done.

An LLM is a Markov Chain.

You quasi-religious idiots are all the same: Claims to truth without evidence. Always the same crap with you lot. Nothing of what you wrote is true. One of the lying techniques you lot use (also to lie to yourself) you just demonstrated: Asking me to provide evidence your delusion is wrong. That is not how Science works. Science actually requires you to provide evidence (in this case extraordinary evidence), because it is KNOWN that tons of theories cannot be disproven. Hence positive proof is required. There is none for Physicalism.

The difference is that I understand what Science can actually do at this time and what not and how it works. While you are just projecting your expectations.

Why would I agree on such a thing? Nobody knows that because nobody knows how consciousness works and there is no known way to observe it directly.

That happens to be the only current scientifically sound theory for consciousness: Generated by a complex quantum-state that cannot be copied or destroyed and that communicates with the brain. The only other thing is physicalist drivel and that is pure belief and not science.

Nope, that would just demonstrate pattern matching. That specific aspect has been automated 40 years ago for the cases it is possible (this is p-space, if I remember correctly). What you actually need is to give it a real-world situation that is not in the training data and have it turn into a logic question and then have it argue why that is the right logic question. And then you need to have it do a few 1000 times and be only 1% or so wrong and also explain limits of applicability.

Yep, pretty much. There is a ton of magic thinking and money involved. And these fuckers have done it before.

When you have seen the same dishonest conversation manipulation tricks time and again, your patience may get a bit thin. Funny thing, I actually had a full semester academic course on them in the context of negotiations. I can spot these. In the case at hand, my take is likely stupidity and likely not maliciousness. But who knows.
