February 2025 has seen notable advancements in technology, headlined by Microsoft unveiling Majorana 1, its groundbreaking quantum chip capable of scaling up to a million qubits. This has sparked discussions about the imminent usability of quantum computing. Additionally, tensions between Sam Altman and Elon Musk have intensified following Musk's consortium's $97 billion bid to acquire OpenAI, where Musk has expressed concerns over its profit-driven direction. The conversation is further spiced by the emerging trend of 'revenge quitting' among employees dissatisfied with their work conditions, potentially reshaping workplace dynamics.
"So this is the world's first quantum processing unit, QPU. It's powered by what Microsoft says is a topological core and it can scale up to a million qubits in a single chip. Obviously serious power here, huge capabilities, huge potential and it's really taken the industry by storm, but it's the latest in a string of big talking points in the in the quantum space."
"A big talking point here is Elon Musk has a bone to pick with the for-profit shift at OpenAI in recent months. You know, he was involved in the company during its infancy, and has been very vocal on the fact that he doesn't like the direction that has gone."
"Revenge quitting is essentially quitting out of spite for the conditions at your job. Not really surprising, I'd say that this is potentially going to become a trend this year."
