I think we will get some “break throughs” in Quantum Computing that Google execs will assure us makes their company worth five trillion dollars.

Q-bit
You can’t point at a qbit it just looks like a regular chip but in a fridge and everything it can even hypothetically do is boring behind the scenes nerd shit.
With the “self driving” car you can point at a car with sensors and shit strapped to it, with the “AI” you can point to the slop it generated.
With quantum, what do you point at? A little notification on your bank’s account website that says “your account is now Quantum Secure?”
that’s still meaningless until somebody proves that Quantum computers actually can break pre-Quantum encryption in practical human time frames (like minutes/days/weeks) and non-state actors can purchase such hardware.
Would be funny if we ended up in a future where the FBI smugly said “We don’t need your password, we’ll just Quantum in!” and the Quantum computer averages 1.5 years on most iPhones.
The AI hype is meaningless too but that doesn’t stop them from doing it.
Yeah that’s kinda my point, quantum is so boring that even the meaningless fluff and hype is boring
Ok but dilution fridges are really cool
yes, I frequently find that tech journalism is held back by its rigid adherence to truth
It’s not even about adherence to truth, it’s that there’s nothing there to even lie about
I doubt that will stop them from doing it anyway. They’ll use an AI generated image of a chip that looks like “quantum”
