Quantum supremacy is a dream of quantum computing researchers, the clear advantage of qubits over bits is still a dream. I often see decisions being made in the space and recognize that the decision was made in light of classical computers and the lessons learned there. There’s a lot of great insights that we can pull from history.

But it’s not a 1:1 comparison.

In this episode, Mark McGuire discusses the limitations of current AI technology and how we've become complacent in our approach to computing power. He argues that we're not focusing enough on improving efficiency, but instead relying on throwing more hardware at the problem.

Mark shares his personal experience learning about low-level programming, including working with microcontrollers and C languages, which he believes has given him a unique perspective on how to optimize code for performance. He makes the case for why developers should be thinking more about how their code interacts with hardware, rather than just relying on high-level abstractions.

Join Mark as he explores the intersection of AI, quantum computing, and low-level programming, and discusses ways in which we can improve our approach to compute problems. Will you join him in thinking differently about coding?
