I got a tour of @XanaduAI’s quantum
computing lab from founder & CEO Christian Weedbrook @_cweedbrook after recording a podcast episode with him. ⚛️
One of the highlights was seeing Aurora, Xanadu’s latest photonic quantum computer.
A few years ago, Borealis achieved quantum computational advantage.
👉According to Xanadu’s Nature paper, it performed a specialized quantum computation in 36 microseconds that researchers estimated would take classical supercomputers roughly 9,000 years to reproduce exactly.
✅Aurora is the next step: demonstrating a scalable, networked, and modular architecture for future quantum computers.
Pretty wild that some of the world’s most advanced quantum computing technology is being built right here in Canada 🇨🇦🙌

I know many people don’t like Elon.. specially here in Canada.
But I do find his story fascinating.
I think his story is inspiring because it’s about how his life has met a lot of struggles privately and publicly.
He fails because he tries, takes risks and builds things, but he also wins and succeeds, and makes meaningful contributions and societal impact. It’s a roller coaster.
One of my takeaways from reading about his story here and there is that things not working out often leads to bigger and better opportunities if you’re paying attention, you have a sense of purpose, you’re willing to keep trying, and you don’t fight the changes…
They’re like redirection and the pain is not necessarily a bad thing, it’s the cost of transformation.
Gonna get his book today by Walter Isaacson.

One of the best stories from the @SpaceX IPO!
Love stories like this!
Jun 12
bro immigrated from Mexico and took a $28/hr contract welding job in 2015.
didn't even know what SpaceX was.
they gave him $10,000 in stock and let him buy more through payroll deductions.
that stake is now worth $880,000.
and he's one of 4,400 employees who became millionaires on Friday. welders. technicians. cafeteria staff.

It’s always a good idea to think about why we think what we think and where these beliefs and thoughts come from.
Our thoughts and beliefs shape our reality because they affect our self-esteem, self-worth, decisions, how we treat others and ourselves, how we act and react, what we react to, what triggers us, what moves us, what we give meaning to, and how we perceive ourselves and others in the work place, relationships and in the world.
It’s always a good thing when a person can think about what they did wrong and where they can improve, or how to change their lives. And sometimes, one may think that they can make things better in their lives by changing where they live, where they work, who they choose as life partners, who they date, and what they do for a living.
And many times, we see how these kind of decisions do improve one’s life.
And sometimes, we see how no matter how many changes one makes in their lives — career, jobs, lifestyle, significant other, and place — they still hit the same wall over and over again.
And often, it’s because, until you change your patterns that lead you to self-sabotage, or that leads you to making the same mistakes over and over again, the same fears and limiting beliefs will show up that will affect your actions, reactions, and decisions.
You can meet the right and good person for you, you can have the best opportunities in life, and have the things you once wished and hoped for, and you’d still lose them or ruin them because of the same self-sabotaging patterns that you didn’t change.

X will congratulate and celebrate you for becoming a billionaire or a trillionaire.
But irl… in Canada specifically, there’s a growing hate towards billionaires…

Had an awesome conversation with Christian Weedbrook @_cweedbrook, founder and CEO of @XanaduAI, on the latest episode of Original & Unconventional @oaupod.
We talked about:
👉 Christian’s unconventional journey — from film school dropout to physicist, and now founder and CEO of one of the world’s leading quantum computing companies.
👉 Quantum computing and the future of technology
👉 Whether Canada is prepared for the age of quantum computers
👉 The opportunities and risks that come with this technology
👉 The realities of building a deep-tech company
👉 How life has changed since Xanadu went public in March
👉 What becomes possible when humanity gains an entirely new computational paradigm
As a bonus, Christian gave us a tour of the lab where Xanadu’s quantum computer is located… pictured here 👇
Looking forward to sharing the full episode soon.🙌

Quantum computing could be just as transformative as AI – so why isn't quantum literacy part of Canada’s AI strategy?
In his latest op-ed for The Globe and Mail (@globeandmail), Christian Weedbrook (@_cweedbrook), Founder and CEO of Xanadu, explains why we must prepare our economy for the next phase of technological progress today, rather than playing catch-up tomorrow.

In Toronto (my old home) after a really cool podcast interview I did today! ☀️🏝️🥂🎙️
Can’t wait to drop that one! ☺️🙏
Loving the summer weather here.
This used to be one of my hang out spots for paddle boarding, jogging and biking!

🎙️NEW EPISODE: The Future of AI, Humanity & Society | @PhilBeaudoin
I sat down with Philippe Beaudoin — AI entrepreneur, venture scientist, co-founder of Element AI, and affiliated researcher at @LawZero_ — for one of the most thought-provoking conversations I’ve had on Original & Unconventional @oaupod .
We talked about:
• AI & the future of humanity
• consciousness & intelligence
• LLM psychosis
• values, culture & diversity in AI systems
• how to think about the future without trying to predict it with certainty
• and why the values and worldviews of the people building AI matter more than ever
Some parts felt exciting.
Other parts felt deeply unsettling.
