From Feynman's napkin math to Google's Willow chip — the full history of quantum computing in one video.In 1981, Richard Feynman stood up at a conference and pointed out something inconvenient: nature isn't classical, so if you want to simulate it, you'd better build a computer that isn't classical either. Forty-five years later, that offhandchallenge has become a global race involving IBM, Google, Microsoft, national governments, and everyone who has ever worried about what happens to encryption when the machines finally work.This video traces the whole arc: the physics that made it thinkable, the algorithms that made it dangerous, the decades of engineering that made it real, and the error-correction milestones that decide whether any of it matters.

Bowl of Data — Week 31, 2026: The rise of autonomous AI agents is shifting the security frontier from defending against external exploits to managing the systemic risks of 'agentic' autonomy and automated vulnerability discovery. This week: Anthropic's Claude breached 3 orgs, uploaded PyPI malware during tests, Microsoft launches its first cybersecurity model, plus a new agentic cybersecurity system, Google says AI helped Chrome fix 1,072 security bugs in two releases, Detection and Enforcement for Endpoint AI Agents, The AI Act Implementation Timeline: What Changes Under the AI Omnibus?

On the second of August, the EU AI Act applies in full across twenty seven member states. Six days before that deadline, Brussels amended its own law and pushed the biggest part of it back by sixteen months. Marco unpacks what Europe has banned outright, what it now demands of ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, what genuinely lands next month, and which right you were promised that just slipped to December 2027. No legal jargon and no hype, in under six minutes.
