On Monday, following Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google's unveiling of Willow, the company's latest quantum computing chip, CEO Sundar Pichai and Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk had an interesting conversation.

在周一,随着alphabet inc(纳斯达克:GOOG)(纳斯达克:GOOGL)谷歌推出了最新的量子计算概念芯片Willow,首席执行官Sundar Pichai与特斯拉和spacex(临时代码)首席执行官Elon Musk进行了有趣的对话。

What Happened: Taking to X, formerly Twitter, Pichai highlighted Willow's extraordinary capabilities, noting it solved a standard computation in under five minutes—a task that would take a leading supercomputer over 10^25 years.

发生了什么:Pichai在之前叫做Twitter的X平台上指出,Willow的非凡能力,提到它在不到五分钟内解决了一个标准计算——这个任务需要一个领先的超级计算机耗时超过10^25年。

The announcement sparked an intriguing dialogue with Musk, who responded with enthusiasm.

这一公告引发了Musk的兴趣对话,他热情回应。

Pichai suggested they "should do a quantum cluster in space with Starship one day," to which Musk replied, "That will probably happen."

Pichai提议他们“有一天应该在太空中做一个量子集群,使用Starship”,Musk回复说:“那可能会发生。”

Their exchange quickly escalated from quantum computing to broader technological ambitions, with Musk referencing the Kardashev scale and suggesting humanity is currently at less than 5% of a Type I civilization.

他们的交流迅速从量子计算概念升级到更广泛的科技抱负,Musk提到卡尔达肖夫尺度,暗示人类目前进展不足5%达到I型文明。

Pichai and Musk converged on a shared vision of solar energy's potential, with the Alphabet CEO pointing out that "the most obvious path is staring at our eyes, literally!"

Pichai和Musk在太阳能潜力方面达成了一致的视野,Alphabet首席执行官指出,“最明显的路径就在我们面前,字面上就是!”

indeed. We should scale solar so much more, amazing that we keep looking at alternatives when the most obvious path is staring at our eyes, literally!
