A young woman from Washington state university has already proven classical computers can solve just as well as quantum if you give them equal advantages. Everything saying quantum computing is faster is operating on the unspoken principle of having the entire data grid already preloaded and comparing it to classical computers who do not have the entire data grid preloaded but when you give them both the magic preload pill quantum computers aren’t any better than traditional

I thought this guy was a legit scientist, but I read his recent book Quantum Supremacy and it was all shit like “with quantum computing, in the future you will be able to solve athlete’s foot”. Literally everything you can think of is going to be quantummaxxed by cubits, according to him. Need your car serviced but the garage isn’t open on Sundays? Quantum computing. Need your mother-in-law to dial down the snarky comments about your new house? QUANTUM COMPUTING. Frequently walk into a room, forget why you went in there, leave, then immediately remember why you went in the second you cross the threshold? MOTHERFUCKING QUANTUM COMPUTING!
I’m sure he is a legit scientist, of course, but as a science communicator and terminal book-hawker, he’s no better than Joe Rogan.

Shit, he’s 80? I guess I haven’t seen him in a while. Back when the cable stations with educational names actually had educational programming, and not just reality trash, he was pretty dope.
