Google unveils TurboQuant, a new AI memory compression algorithm — and yes, the internet is calling it 'Pied Piper' | TechCrunch

Google’s TurboQuant has the internet joking about Pied Piper from HBO's "Silicon Valley." The compression algorithm promises to shrink AI’s “working memory” by up to 6x, but it’s still just a lab experiment for now.

    Shouldn’t it be Nucleus since they are Hooli?

      Yes, it should be Nucleus. Them calling it PiedPiper is a propaganda campaign to try to earn good will from people. Fuck Google locking down Android.

        Do their CEO have a signature that looks like a penis?

      No, that would be what it is if we were using traditional, deterministic compression. But this is the new era of memetic compression, “Pied Piper” is what everyone remembers from the show, so we compress it to “Pied Piper” to minimize the amount of memetic overhead and allow the smallest possible compression artifact. Like with “AI”, it doesn’t need to be correct, just close enough for people to think it is! /s

      Sure but didn’t the plot line with Nucleus come in a later season?

      Secondly, I am pretty certain the Google logo was always in the opening credits.

          I miss the thinking of the Moonshots whatever those were called.
