I’ve been exposed
i don't trust anyone who doesn't severely underestimate how much work their tasks are. because if they don't, they never try

Saying that employees get paid in return for work makes me a “simp of Elon”? Is that not how jobs work?
Replying to @jack__smitham
imagine being such a simp of Elon that you not only slave away at his company but amplify his opinions outside of work

If your triggered at the idea of responding to an email about what you got done… At the job where you are literally PAID for the sole purpose of getting things done I feel bad for you

People that think big tech should be broken up… please read this announcement and tell me how this would have been possible without it
A couple reflections on the quantum computing breakthrough we just announced... Most of us grew up learning there are three main types of matter that matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Today, that changed. After a nearly 20 year pursuit, we’ve created an entirely new state of matter, unlocked by a new class of materials, topoconductors, that enable a fundamental leap in computing. It powers Majorana 1, the first quantum processing unit built on a topological core. We believe this breakthrough will allow us to create a truly meaningful quantum computer not in decades, as some have predicted, but in years. The qubits created with topoconductors are faster, more reliable, and smaller. They are 1/100th of a millimeter, meaning we now have a clear path to a million-qubit processor. Imagine a chip that can fit in the palm of your hand yet is capable of solving problems that even all the computers on Earth today combined could not! Sometimes researchers have to work on things for decades to make progress possible. It takes patience and persistence to have big impact in the world. And I am glad we get the opportunity to do just that at Microsoft. This is our focus: When productivity rises, economies grow faster, benefiting every sector and every corner of the globe. It’s not about hyping tech; it’s about building technology that truly serves the world.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Microsoft's supporting paper, published in Nature, does not support the claim that they have created a topological qubit. nature.com/articles/s4158… Peer reviewers of the Nature paper expressed concern that the paper misleadingly implies that a topological qubit was demonstrated or otherwise achieved: static-content.springer.com/esm/art%3A10.1…

Having free speech on the platform that also puts food in your mouth and a roof over your head is an absolutely wild dynamic
Jobs are temporary, followers are forever. Never hold back a post because you are afraid of losing your job
