Image prompt: Overhead view of a white marble chess board where black and white pieces have arranged themselves into an impossible perfect geometric mandala pattern, with kings and queens at center and other pieces spiraling outward in mathematical precision, dramatic top lighting casting long shadows, cinematic composition, hyperrealistic 3D render
Today in @Nature, we published a breakthrough demonstration of verifiable quantum advantage using a measurement known as out-of-time-order correlator (OTOC), or Quantum Echoes. Performed on our Willow chip, it paves a path toward real-world applications → https://x.com/GoogleQuantumAI/status/1981016219340648778
New breakthrough quantum algorithm published in @Nature today: Our Willow chip has achieved the first-ever verifiable quantum advantage. Willow ran the algorithm – which we’ve named Quantum Echoes – 13,000x faster than the best classical algorithm on one of the world’s fastest https://x.com/sundarpichai/status/1981013746698100811

Two days after OpenAI’s Atlas, Microsoft relaunches a nearly identical AI browser | TechCrunch https://techcrunch.com/2025/10/23/two-days-after-openais-atlas-microsoft-launches-a-nearly-identical-ai-browser/
If you want to understand AGI, study the humanities (I am only partially trolling – psychology is a young field, computer science is younger. The brightest minds in history spent a lot of time considering what it meant to be a general intelligence, that’s what the humanities is)”” / X https://x.com/emollick/status/1979637468149530660
A lot I like & some I don’t in this paper: Like: Clear definition of AGI, diverse authors, shows jaggedness, tracking metrics over time (huge leap from GPT-4 to GPT-5) Dislike: AGI defined as replicating a model of human cognition, benchmarks are scattershot, narrow view of AI https://x.com/emollick/status/1978874737892667718
I hope as we move past the first wave of AI criticism (“”it doesn’t work, all hype””) we get a new wave of AI criticism rooted in the fact that these systems are very powerful & quite useful and focusing a deep exploration of when AI uses are uplifting and when they are detrimental”” / X https://x.com/emollick/status/1978966933429973313
My estimate of the probability of Grok 5 achieving AGI is now at 10% and rising”” / X https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1979431839824777673
