Google and Commitment
October 31, 2019
Google may have an uphill battle. Instead of a big rock, the GOOG must move trust from Death Valley to the top of Huascarán in Peru. Google’s TensorFlow comes with a three year commitment. However, Google has a reputation for abandoning projects. Google Groups, Web Accelerator, etc. etc.
New Scientist has some questions about Google too. Navigate to “Will Google Bail If Its Quantum Computer Doesn’t Turn a Quick Profit?”
Oh, and don’t miss the write up’s subtitle:
Google is famous for ditching projects it loses interest in. The road to workable quantum computers will be long, but we must stick with it…
The idea is that Google is spending money on a high school science project. Granted the project has promise, but the reality of the Google is that its costs are becoming more and more difficult to control.
The crazy PR battle with IBM over quantum supremacy makes Google look — how shall I put it? — like a high school math whiz without a date to the homecoming dance. But staying home and playing an online game is way better, right?
Trust? Who needs that. Just climb the mountain or zap it with a nifty digital weapon.
