đ§ Googleâs âWillowâ Quantum Chip: A New Era of Computing

Researchers at Google unveiled âWillow,â a Quantum Computing chip that handles complex calculations and exponentially corrects computing errors faster than traditional computers.
Key Details:
A Quantum is the smallest discrete unit of a phenomenon. For example, a quantum of light is a photon, and a quantum of electricity is an electron.
While traditional computers use âbitsâ (i.e., 0 or 1) to process information, Quantum Computing uses âqubits,â which can be 0 or 1, or both at the same time.
While traditional computers process information sequentially (i.e., one at a time), Quantum Computing processes information in parallel (i.e., multiple at a time).
âWillowâ can reduce computing errors exponentially as more âqubitsâ are added, a critical issue that stumped everyone for three decades.
âWillowâ leverages 105 âqubitsâ to maintain The Quantum State for nearly twice as long as previous designs.
The Quantum State is when a âqubitâ has the potential to be either 0 or 1, but itâs not definitively one or the other until itâs measured.
Why Itâs Important:
âWillowâ can perform a complex computing task in 5 minutes that would take a supercomputer 10 septillion years to complete.
To put this into perspective, the universeâs age is estimated to be around 13.8 billion years, a mere fraction of a septillion years.

đThird Day of â12 Days of OpenAIâ Event

OpenAI launched Sora, a text-to-video AI model that converts text prompts into hyperrealistic short films, during the third day of the â12 Days of OpenAIâ event.
Key Details:
The â12 Days of OpenAIâ event involves 12 livestreams across 12 days of âa bunch of new things, big and small.â
Sora can create videos in various formats, generate new content from text, or enhance, remix, and blend your own media files.
In other words, Sora brings your imagination to life with text, image, or video.
The new Remix feature allows you to replace, remove, or reimagine elements in your video after itâs generated.
The new Storyboard feature enables you to stitch multiple outputs together with Blend (i.e., combine two videos into one seamless clip), Loop (i.e., create seamless repeating videos), or Style (i.e., apply a specific theme).
Itâs available for ChatGPT Plus plans and ChatGPT Pro plans, with Soraâs rollout excluded in European countries over regulatory concerns.
Why Itâs Important:
âWe obviously have a big target on our back as OpenAI,â said Sora Product Lead Rohan Sahai. âWe want to prevent illegal activity but also balance that with creative expression.â
MKBHD noticed that Sora struggled with Object Permanence, or displaying a specific object in an individualâs hand.

đ§ââïžCall of Duty: Black Ops 6 Voice Actors Quit Over AI Concerns

Almost all the voice actors associated with the highly popular Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies have quit over a lack of AI protections in their contracts and the use of their voices to train AI models without consent or compensation.
A Redditor called Zekethevoice, whoâs presumably the voice actor behind Dr. William Peck, replied to fans across Subreddits who noticed the characterâs slightly altered voice: âIt sucks because they donât attribute the voice to AI, so now everyone thinks I did that sh**tty performance.â
AI voices significantly reduce production costs by eliminating the need for studios, human voice actors, and post-production expenses (e.g., adjusting sound levels or removing background noise).
The voice actors want to require Activision to acquire consent from them before replicating their voices and allow them to decline the continuous use of their voices in future projects.
