In 2016 Geoffrey Hinton said “we should stop training radiologists now" since AI would soon be better at their jobs. He was right: models have outperformed radiologists on benchmarks for ~a decade. Yet radiology jobs are at record highs, with an average salary of $520k. Why?

We live in a brief and fascinating moment right now where there’s an insanely wide gap in productivity between two people just based on the tools they use and their specific workflows with AI. Just a few variables can be the difference between getting a 25% boost in productivity

I read Google's paper about their quantum computer so you don't have to. They claim to have ran a quantum computation in 5 minutes that would take a normal computer 10^25 years. But what was that computation? Does it live up to the hype? I will break it down.🧵
