Wasn't that interesting, didn't know where it was going with the initial tin foil commentary but the speaker himself didn't do a good job of explaining what he was supposed to explain imo.

Doesn't really care
He explained exactly what he needed to. They harness the power of a parallel dimensions and his computer will be responsible for better than human non humans. Commentator/ tin foil was annoying but, I couldn't find a clip of Dwave guy talking and didn't want to post the whole presentation.

The D-wave, which I've been aware of for a little while, uses not just "our" 1 and 0 (binary), but 1and 0 from another dimention, giving it the ability to do things our puters cant. I guess its really good at solving problems. It can examine every possible solution at the same time. This is my understanding of a thing that, well still really make no sense to me at all.

As to whether its changing reality, we should just ask it I guess...:laughing

I think that I heard that JPMorgan has one too, or some other huge bank, for whatever reason. The idea that they are trading at milliseconds, and can anticipate the slightest downward movement of a stock, sell before it moves down/buy before it moves up, has rendered the human trader useless. You could see how this would be a "No Lose" situation...

...what could go wrong?

Comments on that video are comedy gold.

This is exactly why I strongly caution against putting trust in YouTube pundits. They take disparate ideas, weave them together into what is at best propaganda, and at worst, utter fiction.

Useful idiot
I don't know how he took something so ridiculous and outlandish and still managed to make a video that boring out of it. Impressive, really.

meat bone meat meat meat
that video has literally zero evidence of anything he is talking about.

it's the video version of "I know a guy that said"

Don't care about any of the talking, want to know about the thing. What's the thing?? All I know from the video is teddy bears.

In fact, it's a waste of time to listen/watch ANY opinion person. Why not spend that time gathering factual information and then make your OWN conclusion about it?

No, what some high speed traders have done is move their incredibly high speed servers as close as possible to the exchanges. What that has done is given them a few milliseconds to front run trades. I've had it happen to me many times. A 10 cent per trade tax would probably end this.

My very republican Uncle proposed the exact same thing. I think its a brilliant idea. Even 1 penny per share per trade tax wouldn't hurt anyone except the hi frequency assholes who have turned Wall St. into a gambling hall.

It's not my fault...
I felt like Tom Cruise was going to bust through at any moment and arrest that guy for a future crime he committed.
