The prospect is simply a significant jump in computing power. That's it. This will NOT solve hunger (are you insane), poverty, health or environmental problems. Not to mention that it's very possible that they will run into a brick wall. Unfortunately the academic world (and I speak from experience here) is mainly governed by the neverending quest for funding. That's what they're doing here...Professor so-and-so want more PhD students so they get funding for research and then they get prestige and money from that. |
This.
Dr. Grass seems to be only one with logic here. This is a powerful supercomputer, not an all-problems-solving wonder. It might really need to cancer cure, or technological advancements, but it won't magically wipe away all problems of mankind.
Russia is still buiding more weapons than ever, the corrupt regime of Syria still kills people, and the PS Vita is still doomed.
