Welcome, humans.
People are sharing the [“craziest way” they interact with AI](https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenAI/comments/1flxum0/whats_the_craziest_way_that_you_use_ai_in_your/) in their daily lives on Reddit, and the results are pretty interesting:
* One user admitted to uploading text arguments with their girlfriend and having AI draft responses, quickly adding that actually sending these would probably “[get me killed](https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenAI/comments/1flxum0/comment/lo7och9/).”
* Another person [claimed](https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenAI/comments/1flxum0/comment/lo6q4l9/) they’ve started to replace all tasks that required “traditional UX” like expense tracking, currency conversion, and time zone adjustments.
* And then there’s someone who built an “[open-source robot friend with autonomy](https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenAI/comments/1flxum0/comment/lo6kqk3/)” (and [shared the code](https://github.com/OriNachum/autonomous-intelligence), if you’re feeling extra Tony Stark today).
Sounds like we’re just a few model drops away from everyone turning into this dude:

**Here’s what you need to know about AI today:**
* Google made a big quantum computer breakthrough.
* Jony Ive wants $1B to build a touchscreen-inspired device for OpenAI.
* 26+ US states have or soon will regulate AI in election communications.
* 1X Technologies announced a “world model” for robots.

# Are quantum computers about to have their “ChatGPT moment”?
_Wait a minute… “quantum” computers? What is this, some sort of Marvel comic?! _
Actually, quantum computers are very real, [and very near](https://physicsworld.com/a/when-will-quantum-computers-finally-break-into-the-market/). And some in the industry think quantum computers are about to have their “[ChatGPT moment](https://tech.eu/2024/09/19/quantum-computing-will-have-its-chatgpt-moment-in-the-next-18-months-says-uk-boss/)” in ~18 months.
In fact, the UN declared 2025 the “[International year of Quantum Science](https://quantum2025.org/en/).” _And would you look at that… it’s almost 2025! _
The latest qnews is that Google’s Quantum AI team [unveiled a new system](https://phys.org/news/2024-09-google-quantum-ai-memory-greatly.html) that reduces “quantum errors” better than other systems. This is a big deal, because errors = quantum’s biggest problem atm. _ _
**First, what the heck are quantum computers? **Imagine a computer that can solve ridiculously hard problems our best supercomputers can’t touch—that’s the promise of quantum computing.
But “quantum information” is incredibly fragile—think of it [like a kaleidoscope](https://theconversation.com/quantum-computers-are-like-kaleidoscopes-why-unusual-metaphors-help-illustrate-science-and-technology-228178), always shifting and changing. So working with these machines is like trying to build a sandcastle while waves constantly wash it away.
This is where quantum error correction comes in, and why Google’s [latest results](https://arxiv.org/html/2408.13687v1) are a big deal. Google’s new system not only corrected more errors, but does a better job the bigger it gets—meaning, in theory, its a scalable solution to quantum power.

**Why do we need quantum computers anyway? **[**Three main reasons**](https://ip-quarterly.com/en/new-quantum-technology-race)**: **
1. [Quantum “computing”](https://www.ibm.com/topics/quantum-computing)—calculations that solve multiple problems at once, much faster than regular computers.
2. [Quantum communication](https://techxplore.com/news/2024-07-quantum-communication-technologies-future.html)—really powerfully encrypted satellites (like [China is testing](https://thequantuminsider.com/2024/01/02/report-china-and-russia-test-quantum-communication-link/)) or internet (like[ this test in NYC](https://www.sify.com/technology/why-a-quantum-internet-test-under-new-york-threatens-to-change-the-world/)).
3. [Quantum sensors](https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/mckinsey-digital/our-insights/quantum-sensings-untapped-potential-insights-for-leaders)—super [precise GPS](https://www.nextgov.com/emerging-tech/2024/06/quantum-sensors-show-how-physics-based-tech-yielding-federal-advances/397174/) that measures the Earth’s magnetic field (and is actually [in use today](https://www.defenseone.com/ideas/2022/06/quantum-sensorsunlike-quantum-computersare-already-here/368634/)).
And, most importantly, quantum computers may likely power the next generation of AI… _called, you guessed it, “__[quantum AI](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/quantum-computers-can-run-powerful-ai-that-works-like-the-brain/)__.”_
The challenge to achieve_ this_? Scaling up the quantum computers while keeping errors in check—exactly what Google’s [new system addresses](https://www.technologyreview.com/2024/09/11/1103828/google-says-its-made-a-quantum-computing-breakthrough-that-reduces-errors/).

* **F.C:** “The signs on the buildings and storefronts are gibberish. Cars have no license plate numbers. In a couple of scenes, background people spontaneously disappear, appear, or teleport when a skateboarder moves in front of them. Not enough variety in car colors and types.”
* **A.R: **“All the bystanders in the background slowly melting into blobs.”
* **A.D: **“The deck changing from design to grip. Impossible midair pauses. Did that pair of shoes change design mid-trick? sheeeeeeeesh” (_this guy skates!) _
