Yeah that's one at the top of my list. They are in a great position as they make graphene themselves so then taking it to the next level of manufacturing something with it, instead of just selling it, gives them an advantage over other battery manufacturers who have to source and buy the graphene.

And they are also a local company in my state. All the more reason to support them if it helps the local economy.

This is not the first, nor the last, company to claim they have a solid state battery design.

Nothing to be excited over yet. I've been following the market for about 10 years as I have some investments in the energy sector. There are so many companies trying to do the next generation of battery, it's a mess at the moment and no clear winner yet.

I hear where your coming from. I have a bit of a hypothesis. I wonder if we gravitate towards the negative news.

Hear me out...

What I mean is by seeing other people's misery, we look at our own lives and think "glad that's not happening to me". Makes us feel better about our own lives.

When it comes to social media, it's somewhat the opposite. People post the best things about their lives which makes everyone else depressed as they wish they had that kind of life. When we all know these are fake lives people are promoting.

With the whole trolley problem, replace the AI with a human. How would the human choose in this situation? Probably not logically as there would be emotion that plays a role.

We are projecting these idea's on machines and expecting AI to solve them yet we are don't have solutions ourselves.

OP are you being serious or sarcastic in your statement about someone needing to develop a search engine that only references trusted source of information.

If you are being serious, have I got news for you. It's called Google Scholar.

The only results you get through that are peer reviewed documents.

Sorry to hear this OP.

It really sounds like you mum didn't know how to handle the situation and went straight into nuclear mode. She could have taken the opportunity to sit down with you and discuss it. Could have been a bonding experience but instead it's created a divide.

If I were you in this situation, if my grandparents went straight into siding with my parent without asking my opinion / side of the story, I would probably just tell the grandparents that with all due respect, it's none of their business and that you don't want to talk about it with them.

Good luck and I hope things settle down for you. I think give it a few weeks and you mum will probably forget all about it.

Plenty of people on social media seem to think so. Just read through the responses to my post.

People are comparing it to similar instances where years ago no one thought we would have computers at home as no regular person has any need for a computer.

They think it's just a natural evolution of technology that quantum computers will replace classical computers. Just like cars replaced the horse and cart.

Like your said, it's the ignorant people that don't understand there is a major fundamental difference.

What makes me always laugh is people think they are going to replace standard computers and we will all be walking around with quantum computers in our bags or powering our smartphones.

Everything I have ever read about quantum computers tells me they are built for very specific tasks and complex mathematics. The type of mathematics that takes super computers years to compute could be done in minutes or seconds with the right quantum computer.
