i knew this was coming but this is the latest on it
entanglement means splitting a pair of electrons and embedding one in one device and another in another, and whatever you push at the one, happens to the other, instantaneously (zero time of travel) but as i understood it, the research had not succeeded in modulating a very high bandwidth of transmission
but it's coming
this is networks that don't have vulnerability to anything except the endpoints losing power on the device
this is far more interesting than AI, because it is critical to enabling space travel and it also is critical to bitcoin surviving a disaster that shuts down the internet
Discussion
the science is actually quite old, but the cost is still very high, i expect this is the next hype bubble
we could even see a widespread blackout of the internet in coming days because there is an epic, unprecedentedly large coronal hole coming to face earth very soon,
