I have some friends who work in it, and I’ve watched and read damn near everything I can on it (including a few uni courses). It is neat, it has uses, it will not install transform all computing or invalidate all security or anything like that. It’s gonna be oversold as fuck.
3 blue 1 brown has great videos on it. Grover’s Algorithm, the best we can think to try to apply, is √N faster than traditional computing. Which is a lot faster for intense stuff like protein folding, but it’s linearly faster. SHA256 encryption still would take an eternity to brute force, just a smaller eternity.
I’m calling it now– it’s quantum computing.

Probably right, but to be fair it’s “been” quantum computing since the 90’s.
AI has been AI since the 50s.
AI has had multiple boom and bust times since then. Quantum hasn’t ever “happened” yet.
True, but the grifter crowd has the internet as a medium and is larger and more empowered than ever
