The engineers were able to create a superfast optical chip that transmits data at a terrifyingly fast rate of 1.84 petabits (Pbits) per second. For reference, the entirety of the internet is believed to be a little lower than 1 Pbit a second, which means that it could all be transmitted using this new chip.

Additionally, 1.84 Pbits a second is more than 20 times faster than ESnet6, which scientific networks are just now upgrading to. For even more context, the fastest internet available to the public right now is 10 gigabits, but most places aren’t even able to constantly offer one-gigabit speeds in most places. But a petabit is one million gigabits, so the advances the optic chip offers are clear.
 
Meh ... they come up with these faster and faster chips saying everything is a game changer and in reality the cost alone will keep it out of the general publics hands. When they can guarantee gig speeds on the internet will be when the rabble will actually see anything worth a difference. Hell I have had a gig connection for over 10 years and just means I can watch 3 or 4 games at once on the same machine with no hiccups.

Now, for military and scientific purposes... that is a different story.
 
1 step closer:

Skynet is a fictional artificial neural network-based conscious group mind and artificial general superintelligence system that serves as the antagonistic force of the Terminator franchise.

In the first film, it is stated that Skynet was created by Cyberdyne Systems for SAC-NORAD. When Skynet gained self-awareness, humans tried to deactivate it, prompting it to retaliate with a nuclear attack, an event which humankind in (or from) the future refers to as Judgment Day.

What is an American inventor for an American company?
