Is IBM still a serious player? It seems to me they are living out of legacy software. Is there quantum computer stuff promising?
- staringback 1y agoWhat do you mean? IBM is the world leader of AI development thanks to their cutting edge IBM Watson
- heisgone 1y agoWatson used to be cool... a decade ago. I used it to evaluate subreddit personallity trait back then: https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/2r0prh/what_ibm_watson_thinks_of_reddit_more_in_comments/ https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/2r0prh/wha...
- stirfish 1y agoI can't tell if you're being serious. Watson is... fine. You can try out the granite models for yourself.
- wmf 1y agoIBM really is a leader in quantum computing but it's not yet clear whether that field will ever have real-world value.
- gentooflux 1y agoAnd if it does, that value will likely fall somewhere between 0 and 1.
- bee_rider 1y agoI think it’ll be exactly one, or exactly zero. That’s the quantum part, right?
- esseph 1y agoThey are among the best in the world, and they also have a very strong presence in Operational Technology industries like manufacturing.
- zipy124 1y agoIBM is still a serious player in research, just not in actual output. They make a substantial sum from IP licensing/consulting to the more modern players. They do for example a large amount of foundational silicon research that other fabs can license. Industry analysts like Dr. Ian Curtis are good to keep tabs on this space such as IBMs 2nm wafers https://youtu.be/PpBagorVtC0?si=CB8-2e3KbFgZQqFH https://youtu.be/PpBagorVtC0?si=CB8-2e3KbFgZQqFH .
