Being from the area, it's funny to see the establishing shots drawn here. The pictures of the city are from San Francisco, which is 40 miles / 65 km north of Silicon Valley. The office building is the Google headquarters. The street is Santana Row in San Jose. Kinda neat to see it drawn (or traced rather).

It has been said that Japanese (creatives) are more accepting of AI slop, as shown here. Bigger mangakas, animator, video game devs from Japan have expressed support for AI use in their stuff.

Anyways, looking from outside, I personally always group AI and quantum computing together as fads used to extract money from investors. So it’s interesting both are featured in this chapter.

game dev have been using procedural creation for quite some time.
many openworld game have procedural creation in it.
that's why in this chapter they specifically mention, "using ai to create the backdrop" kinda thing.

in the same vein, game dev will NOT use ai to create key art. that thing is crucial for the patent and establishing copyright for the game main asset like the character design and such.

and yeah, its interesting they outright said developing quantum computing is still not making any money right now. its still quite faraway dream.
not to mention they also mention quantum computing is not all powerful system

Am I the only one who didn't understand how Rio just switched the footage? I have 4 CCTVs in my home and they're all constantly recording (and I can choose either of the 4 to zoom in), but those 4 responds to 4 different buttons so like how? :meguuusad:

Manga rules.

People didn't notice the switch from camera 1 to camera 2. And once you look at the footage you assume you watched the correct one, and dont go digging for it again.

Rio could after the fact delete herself on camera 1.

Also thanks irregular scans for continuing this series. Its not the most popular and its running out of mysteries, gags and what not but appreciate the work. Especially if you can finish it as the manga is completed

Thanks for the update! This is one of my favorite series of all time. I'm always so ecstatic to see another chapter drop.

So how do you pronounce that? Ten to the power of S? That's a mouthful. I guess just Ten Powers?

Art's also wonky and inconsistent in this chapter. Not as bad as chapter 47, but still.

The temporal setting of this manga continues to be wacky, their bill gates equivalent has a fully formed baby but Kana is still in high school lol.

Also, really funny timing on releasing the translation of this chapter, Caltech just unveiled a quantum computer with over 6000 qubits, enough to theoretically break the largest currently-used RSA keys (if they want to).

It feels safe to say that we are at a point where any non-quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithm is no longer practical security.

I guess, sometimes I just can't help but failing to find the logic in the trick used XD

Since the setting is 1 year after the whole Alan marriage thing (It was in the first QED), wouldn't it make sense? It just means Alan worked hard, either before or after the marriage~

I feel a bit sad that AI is something becoming undoubtedly relevant, enough to be a big topic like this. Not necessarily against it, I'm just feeling sad that it is.

The "tricks" are becoming weaker. This is why I prefer CMB that focuses more on history instead of pure tricks. I wish they would give CMB some love.

Yeah the original prequel was better. Very few cases of this sequel have good or even plausible solution. To be fair, that's expected. Conan's murder tricks aren't as good as they used to either.
