    Can this thing predict the future?

    As soon as the billionaires have a tool like that in their hands we are doomed forever. And I assume they will eventually have something that can do a good enough job of it that they will be able to use it to remain in control forever. Maybe they already do? They surely wouldn't tell us.

    Cool. Cool.

      all a quantum computer is good for is breaking encryption, which can then be solved with quantum encryption, so sell computers to protect against the computers you created

        Quantum-resistant cryptography doesn't inherently require quantum computers, to my knowledge--you just need to pick a problem that's difficult for quantum computers to reverse but still reasonable for non-quantum computers to handle.

        No, we will just use quantum resistant crypto schemes on classical computers

        Quantum cryptography is very prohibitive in general and realistically won't ever be available for consumers

      If this thing can perform simple addition is be a bit surprised. I just don't really believe anything western tech claims anymore
