Computers

Some people are concerned that computers may be getting ahead of their creators and this has a lot to do with the speed in which the new computers operate. The rate of development of these new computers is mind boggling. On January 1, 2018 when the first version of Chat GPT came out it operated at a speed of 17,000 petaflops. A petaflop is one thousand million million operations per second. On March 15 of this years version four of Chat GPT came out with a speed of 22 billion petaflops. The speed increased from 17,000 to 22 billion in four years. What does the future hold and that is what scares some people. The word mind boggling is not hyperbole when you try to understand what one thousand million million times 22 billion is.
