Really good breakdown on what a Quantum computer is!

[EndtheMadnessNow]

I'm sure that if they can acquire the entanglement factor to a point where the 'Spooky Action' is
guaranteed, future household quantum computers will be a major boon to certain security agencies!

Comes a point where one starts to wonder if the point you mentioned above was reached a long time ago ... and we've just been lead to believe it's over the horizon.

Indeed! One of my pet theories is back in the pioneering days of AI (1960s) at MIT that by 1981 they had all the questions & all the answers/solutions worked out, at least on paper. Just had to wait for the Internet infrastructure & society to mature. I think much of what we see today or think we see is mostly marketing BS. It's not just to fool you or I, but any foreign adversaries. What the eyes see and the ears hear, the mind believes... is all an illusion nowadays. Right? It's everyday on TV/Internet.

Obviously, I don't know for sure but I have a lot of doubts on AI and Quantum computing. How the technocrats want to control this upcoming brave new world society (assuming we all don't fall into the abyss in the global  technology wars for sublime tech wonders of further enslavement) is akin to flip-flops/gates of a circuit/motherboard...think about the Electric Universe for example. Yes, quantum computers will change EVERYTHING, but probably not how vast majority think they will. With big daddy Gov deeply entrenched in it, rest assured it is not for our benefit in the long run. The so-called quantum leap in technology if it were to occur (maybe already has occurred, hence all the shakedown wars) is perhaps what they (gov-mil/intel) fear most and they certainly do NOT want any other country to have it first, let alone you or I. Interestingly, a lot of our super tech (chips but not just chips) comes out of Israel...and look what is happening right now.

About 10 years ago when 5 super-brain computer scientists were visiting the campus where I worked, 3 from MIT, 1 from Stanford, and 1 from the DOE, I asked each of them (separately) to explain Quantum Computing. I got 6 different answers. My takeaway was unlike computer bits being a one or zero, in Quantum computing can be either or both. Although the cryptographer mathemagicians have long been drooling over the possibilities for many years. Having worked in that bleeding-edge world for 2 decades one thing us lowly engineers learn to do (quickly if a junior) is never give away all the secrets, especially to fellow engineers including within the same corporation. That is called job security. Feed them crumbs (bits) but never the whole cookie. The Israeli engineer's are masters of it. Keep'em guessing until your project is done that way you're sure to be funded for the next one and remain a quantum leap above the rest. Sucks, but unfortunately a lot of ugly tech politicking (& marketing game theory) happens behind the scenes.

I'm not worried about AI nor Quantum computing. I'm worried about whomever will be the supreme human controllers of it. Their psychotic quest to become gods/pharaohs and live forever.


And some days I don't know what to believe and "knowing" is even harder. Oh well that's life. Time for me to go blow some leaves into the neighbor's yard.

C-ya on the flip side.
