After having a tensed relation for years, X owner Elon Musk reacted to the launch of Google’s Willow computing chip. Soon afterwards, Pichai responded with a jovial comment stating that they should do a ‘quantum cluster in space with Starship’ one day.
In a post on X, Pichai posted about the launch of Google’s new quantum computing chip, Willow. The Indian-origin CEO went on to explain that Willow solved a standard computational problem in less than 5 minutes which took a leading supercomputer over 10 to 25 years, drawing a ‘Wow’ reaction from Musk.
Pichai reacted to Musk’s comments, saying “We should do a quantum cluster in space with Starship one day”
Musk wrote back, “That will probably happen. Any self-respecting civilization should at least reach Kardashev Type II. In my opinion, we are currently only at <5% of Type I. To get to ~30%, we would need to place solar panels in all desert or highly arid regions.”
